Frequently asked
How does the calculator work?
It computes required turnover (bonus × wagering ÷ game weighting), multiplies by the house edge of your chosen game to get the expected cost of clearing, and subtracts that from the bonus amount. A cash-out cap truncates the result. The output is expected value, so your actual session will vary around it.
What is a good wagering requirement?
Under 20× on the bonus alone is genuinely player-friendly. The market standard is 30–40×. At 70× and above, expected value is negative for nearly all realistic offers, and at 200× the bonus is best treated as a lottery ticket.
Why does game choice change the value so much?
Two reasons: house edge (a 96% RTP slot costs 4% of turnover, blackjack under 1%) and weighting (slots usually count 100% toward wagering, table games 10% or less). Low-edge games sound smart until weighting multiplies the requirement by ten.
