Casino Wagering Requirements: What They Are and How to Calculate

5 min · Jan 2026

Wagering is the most misunderstood term in online casinos. Because of it, players either fail to collect legitimately won money or pass up genuinely good bonuses.

What Is Wagering?

Wagering requirement (WR) is a multiplier showing how many times you must bet the bonus amount before withdrawal. Written as "x35" or "35x".

Example: You received a 100 EUR bonus with x35 wagering. Required bets: 100 × 35 = 3,500 EUR. After that, any remaining balance can be withdrawn.

What Counts as a Good Rate?

x25 or lower — excellent, rare. x30–x35 — good, realistic to clear in 2–4 weeks. x40 — above average, achievable for active players. x50+ — be careful, the maths is against you.

Key Rules

Maximum bet while bonus is active: usually 5 EUR. Exceeding this voids the bonus at most casinos. Not all games contribute equally: slots 100%, table games often 5–20%. Check the expiry date: usually 7–30 days.
