Casino Bonus Calculator: Know Your Wagering Requirement Before You Claim

Why You Can Trust This Calculator?

The underlying logic of this calculator is the same formula that any license operator uses to calculate his or her own rollover requirements, which is simply a multiplier of the bonus (or bonus + deposit, depending on the offer) by the rollover rate mentioned. This calculator was not developed in a vacuum; all calculations are double-checked against actual bonus conditions that have been tested personally at each of the casinos featured in the list of casino bonuses

This calculator operates only in your web browser. No information entered into the calculator is being transferred to a server and saved; it allows you to calculate the value of the bonus privately without creating an account.

There is one important drawback about this calculator: that it will only calculate the total number that you need to play to using the data you input; but it does not take into account other aspects of the bonuses which can be different from casino to casino, such as game contributions, max bets allowed during the play through of the bonus and time limits.

How to Use the Calculator

Worked Example

For instance, consider a case where you deposit €100 in a casino that gives you a 100% matching bonus up to €100 on your deposit and a 35x wagering requirement on just the bonus portion.

The bonus will be: €100 × 100% = €100

Wagering requirement: €100 × 35 = €3,500 in total wagers needed before withdrawing the bonus funds

What would be the situation if the 35x wagering requirement had been set on the combined amount? (Deposit and bonus)

Base amount: €100 (deposit) + €100 (bonus) = €200

Wagering requirement: €200 × 35 = €7,000

That is the same offer but twice the wagering requirements, highlighting how important it is to check just one small detail among the bonus terms.

The Reason Wagering Requirements Are Necessary

While it’s tempting to look at wagering requirements as something that merely makes it harder for players to cash in on their bonuses, they do have a very legitimate use. A wagering requirement forces people to actually use the funds awarded before allowing them to convert them into money that can be withdrawn and does so for two good reasons – one is making sure that casinos meet their anti-money laundering standards, the other one is protecting operators from players who would deposit, take a bonus and then withdraw without playing.

Tips for Choosing a Bonus Worth Claiming

• Lower multipliers on wagering requirements are usually a better deal even if it sounds like they offer less at first glance, a €50 with 20x will give you more than a €100 with 50x

• See if the wagering requirement covers the bonus, or the bonus and deposit together, as shown in the examples above — it could change how many hands you need to play by itself.

• Look into maximum bet while using the bonus. Some gambling sites will cancel your bonus right away if you make any single bet bigger than a specified sum during the process.

• Find out the weighting for different games before starting to wager. Table games may contribute from 10% to 25% of their value to a wagering requirement; that means grinding the requirement on roulette will take much more time than the numbers show.

• Time limit counts, too. Even generous bonuses with a 3-day window will not be as good as lower but with a 30-day window.
