Casino Wagering Requirements Calculator
Enter the casino bonus and playthrough terms to see exactly how much you must bet, plus the expected cost of clearing it.
What this does: Enter your bonus and its wagering multiple (the "40x" part) to see the total you must bet before you can withdraw, plus the expected cost of clearing it.
Example: A £50 bonus with 10x wagering means £500 of bets before any withdrawal. UK licensed casinos cap wagering at 10x.
Heads up: UK licensed casinos cap wagering at 10x. A multiple above 10x means the offer is either older, from an unlicensed site, or the terms are being read wrong. Worth double checking.
Casino wagering requirements FAQs
What does 40x wagering mean?
40x wagering means you must bet the bonus amount 40 times before you can withdraw. A £50 bonus at 40x needs £2,000 of total bets. UK licensed casinos cap wagering at 10x, so check the terms carefully when you see a higher figure.
How do I calculate wagering requirements?
Multiply the bonus by the wagering multiple. If the requirement applies to deposit plus bonus, add the deposit first. If your game contributes less than 100%, divide by that contribution to get the real money you must bet.
Are wagering requirements worth it?
It depends on the expected cost of clearing them, not just the size of the bonus. Compare the bonus value after the expected cost, then use the current low-risk casino offers to find offers with better maths.
What "wagering requirements" actually means
A wagering requirement (also called playthrough or rollover) is how many times you have to bet a bonus before the casino lets you withdraw anything from it. It is written as a multiple, like 5x or 10x. A £20 bonus at 10x means £200 of total bets before a withdrawal is possible. UK licensed casinos cap this at 10x, though you may still see higher numbers on older or non-UK offers, which is why the calculator accepts any figure.
Why the multiple is only half the story
The number that really matters is not the wagering multiple, it is the expected cost of clearing it. Every bet you place carries the game's house edge, so the more you have to wager, the more you expect to hand back on the way through. That is why a big bonus with high wagering can be worth less than a small one with low wagering. This calculator shows both so you can compare like for like.
Game contribution changes the maths
Not every game counts fully towards wagering. Slots usually count 100%, but table games and live casino often count 10% or less, which means you have to bet far more real money to tick off the same requirement. Set the contribution field to match the game you actually plan to play.
