Casino bonus wagering calculator
Model a deposit bonus the way a CRM or bonus manager does: turnover, expected loss and the real cost of the offer.
Typical online slots: 94–97%.
Slots usually 100%, table games 5–20%.
How wagering works
A 100% bonus on a $100 deposit with 35× wagering on the bonus means $3,500 of bets before withdrawal. If wagering applies to deposit plus bonus, the turnover doubles.
Expected value
Every bet loses the house edge on average (100% − RTP). Multiply turnover by the house edge to get the expected loss while wagering. Bonus minus expected loss is what the bonus is worth to an average player — and roughly what it costs the operator.
FAQ
- What is a typical wagering requirement?
- Commonly 30–40× the bonus in many markets. Some regulators cap it — for example, Great Britain limited bonus wagering to 10× from January 2026.
- Why do table games contribute less?
- Their house edge is lower than slots, so operators count only part of each bet toward wagering to keep the bonus cost under control.
- Is a lower wagering requirement always better for players?
- For value, yes: lower turnover means lower expected loss. But bet limits, max cashout and game restrictions matter too.
