How to Use This Calculator

Enter your bonus amount (the size of the bonus credited to your account — not your deposit unless the wagering applies to both), then input the wagering multiplier from the casino's bonus terms. Use the toggle at the top to select whether the requirement applies to your bonus only or to your combined deposit and bonus — both are common, and the difference is significant.

The result shows you the exact total monetary value of bets you must place on eligible games before any winnings become withdrawable. This figure is calculated on 100% game contribution — if you play blackjack or live casino at a reduced contribution rate, your effective total will be higher.

How Wagering Maths Works

The formula is simple: base amount × multiplier = total wagering required. A £50 bonus at 35x means £1,750 in total bets. If the casino applies 35x to deposit plus bonus — common with matched deposit offers — a £50 deposit plus £50 bonus at 35x requires £3,500 in total wagering. That single word difference ("bonus only" vs "deposit + bonus") doubles the requirement.

The expected cost of clearing a wagering requirement is the requirement multiplied by the house edge. On a 96% RTP slot (4% house edge), a £1,750 wagering requirement carries an expected loss of £70. On a 92% RTP slot (8% edge), the same requirement costs an expected £140. This is why RTP matters when choosing which game to use for clearing a bonus.

Which Games Clear Wagering Fastest

Slots at 100% contribution are the most straightforward route. Medium-volatility slots with high RTP (96%+) balance playthrough efficiency with session longevity. Avoid low-contribution games (blackjack, roulette) unless the specific casino lists them at full contribution — using them at 10% would require ten times more actual wagering to meet the same requirement. For the lowest wagering requirements available, see our low-wagering free spins offers or browse no-wagering casino bonuses to avoid the playthrough entirely.
