The wagering requirement (also known as playthrough or rollover) is the most critical rule in any bonus offer. Mechanically, it is a multiplier that determines how many times you must bet the bonus funds before they turn into withdrawable cash. For example, if a bonus has a requirement, you must wager the specified multiple of that bonus amount in total bets.
These requirements exist to prevent players from claiming a bonus and immediately withdrawing it without actually playing. This allows operators to provide larger incentives while ensuring the funds are used for entertainment.
There are two main types of wagering: Bonus-only, where only the bonus amount is multiplied, and Bonus + Deposit, where both the bonus and your initial deposit are multiplied. The latter results in a higher total amount of betting required. You can track your real-time progress in your account dashboard, and the specific multiplier for any offer is always listed clearly in the "Promotions" section of your profile.
