Wagering (also called playthrough) is the amount you must bet before winnings from a bonus can be withdrawn. It is written as a multiple: a £10 bonus with 10x wagering means £100 of bets.

What the multiple applies to

Check whether wagering applies to the bonus only, or to the deposit plus the bonus. 10x on a £10 bonus is £100 of bets; 10x on a £10 deposit plus £10 bonus is £200.

The UK cap

In Great Britain, casino bonus wagering is capped at 10x. Offers that ask for more are not allowed for UK players, so this site hides them automatically.

Game weighting and max bet

Slots usually count 100% towards wagering; table games often count less. Most offers also cap your stake while wagering, commonly at £5 a spin. Break the cap and the casino can void the bonus.

Our rule of thumb

No-wagering free spins are the simplest offer to judge. For match bonuses, compare the total amount you must bet, not the headline percentage.
