What are wagering requirements and how do they work?

Playthrough" or "Rollover" refers to the wagering requirements that must be met before a player can withdraw any winnings earned from a promotion. These requirements are a standard practice within the industry and are designed to prevent players from cashing out "free money" offered by the casino without fulfilling the necessary playthrough conditions.
When you claim a Free Chip, the playthrough requirement applies to the value of the chip.

For example: If you receive a $10 Free Chip and the playthrough requirement is 40x, you would need to wager $400 before you can withdraw any winnings from that Free Chip.

Calculation:$10 (Free Chip) × 40 (Playthrough requirement) = $400
The total amount you wager contributes to meeting the playthrough requirement associated with your bonus.

Example of Playthrough Calculation:

Let’s say your bonus has a total playthrough requirement of $1,000.

• If you place a $50 wager and win, your total playthrough would be $50.
• If you place another $50 wager and lose, your total playthrough would increase by another $50.
  Remaining playthrough:
  $1,000 (Initial requirement) - $50 (Win) - $50 (Loss) = $900 remaining

The wagering requirement is calculated differently, depending on the type of promotion you claim.

Here are some examples:

Example 1: % Match Bonus

A match bonus typically requires a player to make a deposit, which is then matched by the casino at a specified percentage.  

The deposit from the player is $25, which means a 100% match equals a $25 promotion. The player has a total of $50 to play with. This promotion has a wagering requirement of 20x. Which means 20x your Deposit + Bonus. 

In this case, you would need to wager $1,000 on eligible games before being able to withdraw your bonus and any associated winnings.

Example 2: 25 Free Spins

Free Spins are free wagers the player gets on one specific game. Once the free spins are finished, the promotion may require a deposit to receive your winnings and wagering requirements on the winnings.

Assume you won $100 on Free Spins, and the wagering requirement might be 20x your winnings. Before withdrawing your $100 in winnings (or any additional winnings from wagering), you would need to wager a total of $2,000 on eligible games.

Before claiming any promotion, it is important to fully understand the playthrough requirements associated with it. This ensures that you are aware of the amount you need to wager before being able to withdraw any winnings. Always check the terms and conditions for specific games and promotions to ensure you are meeting the necessary criteria for withdrawal.

Not all games contribute equally toward meeting the playthrough requirements. For example, games like Blackjack and Video Poker may only count 50% of the wager toward the requirements.
For instance, if you bet $2 on a Blackjack hand, only $1 of that bet will count towards your wagering requirements. Always review the specific wagering contributions for each game and promotion, as this can vary.
