What are the bonus wagering requirements?

Casino bonuses usually come with terms and conditions that must be met before any winnings from the bonus can be withdrawn. In most cases, this involves a wagering requirement, which specifies how many times you must wager the bonus funds or winnings generated from the bonus before you can withdraw them to your own account. A wagering requirement can be viewed as a type of usage condition attached to the bonus.

A casino offers players extra funds or other benefits for playing, but in return, the bonus funds must be used in games to a certain extent before withdrawals are allowed.

Wagering requirements can be linked to different types of bonus offers. The most common examples are deposit bonuses and free spins, but at some casinos, cashback rewards, tournament prizes, or other promotional benefits may also be subject to withdrawal conditions. Bonuses often have a time limit within which the wagering requirement must be completed. In addition, some promotions may only apply to selected games or game categories.

What do wagering requirements look like?

The size of wagering requirements varies between casinos and promotions. At traditional online casinos, wagering requirements are often around 20x–50x, although they can be lower or higher.

The required wagering amount is calculated by multiplying the bonus or bonus winnings by the wagering multiplier.

Example: You receive a €20 bonus with a 30x wagering requirement. This means you must place a total of €600 worth of bets (€20 × 30) before the bonus funds or any winnings generated from them can be withdrawn.

Generally speaking, the lower the wagering requirement, the easier it is to meet the bonus terms. However, the value of a bonus should not be judged solely by its wagering requirement, as other terms can also affect the attractiveness of the offer.

In addition to wagering requirements, bonus terms may include information such as the bonus validity period, maximum win limits, and which games are eligible for the promotion.

What are wager-free bonuses?

Some casinos also offer completely wager-free bonuses that do not have any wagering requirements attached to them. Winnings earned from these bonuses can usually be withdrawn directly to the player's account.

Example: A player receives wager-free free spins for a specific slot game and wins €20. The winnings can generally be withdrawn immediately without having to meet any additional wagering requirements.

Examples of wager-free benefits include:

• Free spins
• Bonus wheels
• Competitions and prize draws
• Cashback
• Cash bonuses credited directly to the player account

Frequently Asked Questions

Do wagering requirements affect the RTP percentage?

Not directly. A game's Return-to-Player percentage (RTP) remains the same regardless of whether you are playing with your own funds or bonus funds. However, a wagering requirement increases the total amount wagered, meaning that the natural variance of the game has a greater impact on the final outcome.

What is a good wagering requirement for players?

The lower the wagering requirement, the less money or bonus funds need to be wagered before withdrawals become possible. For example, a 10x wagering requirement is generally much easier to complete than a 35x wagering requirement.

Do all casino bonuses have wagering requirements?

No. Some online casinos, including Tuplaa, offer wager-free bonuses. However, at many licensed casinos, a deposit must still be wagered once before a withdrawal can be made, in accordance with anti-money laundering practices.

Can wagering requirements be completed on all games?

Not necessarily. The bonus terms usually specify which games are included in the promotion and contribute towards meeting the wagering requirement.

Can wagering requirements be completed across multiple gaming sessions?

Wagering requirements can usually be completed over several gaming sessions, provided that the bonus does not expire before the requirements have been fulfilled.
