Wagering Requirements Calculator: What Is It and How Does It Work?

The wagering requirements calculator is a helpful tool for figuring out how much you need to bet to unlock your winnings and be able to withdraw them. When you receive a bonus, either as part of a deposit or as a free bonus, there are usually wagering requirements attached. 

This means you have to bet a certain amount before you can withdraw the bonus or winnings from it. This calculator helps you by doing the math for you.

Next, I’ll explain in detail how to use the calculator for both types of bonuses: Deposit Bonus and Free Bonus.

Understanding Each Field in the Calculator

You need to know which field means what in order to know what to enter in there. Fortunately, it’s not that complicated.

Deposit Bonus Fields

Let’s have a look at the field you need to fill when you want to calculate the WR for deposit-based promotions.

Deposit Amount

This is the amount of money you deposit to receive a bonus. The bonus is calculated based on this amount. It’s important to enter the exact deposit amount so that the calculator can give you an accurate estimate of the required wagering.

Deposit Bonus Percentage

This percentage tells you how much extra money the casino will give you based on your deposit.

Wagering Requirements (Multiplier)

This multiplier shows how many times you must bet the bonus (the deposit, or both of them) before the bonus money can be withdrawn.

Wagering Type

This field specifies whether the wagering applies to only the bonus, the deposit or to both of them combined. 

Game Contribution

Games don’t all contribute equally toward wagering requirements. This info is specific for each casino and can be found either in the general T&C or the bonus T&C.

Free Bonus Fields

Here are the entries for bonuses that don’t require you to add funds:

Bonus Amount

For free bonuses, this is the amount the casino gives you to play with. 

Wagering Requirements (Multiplier)

Just like with deposit bonuses, this multiplier shows how many times you need to bet the bonus amount. 

Game Contribution

Enter the contribution percentage based on the game you plan to play.

How to Use the Wagering Calculator: Step-by-Step Guide

Using our calculator is not rocket science. But you do need to know the details of your bonus beforehand. Here’s how to use the wagering requirements calculator for each type of bonus.

Keep in mind

Be sure to select the correct bonus type and correct values for accurate results. This affects the total amount you’ll need to bet before withdrawing your winnings.

For a Deposit Bonus

When you receive a bonus for making a deposit, follow these steps to use the calculator:

  • Fill in Your Deposit Amount: Enter the amount of money you’re depositing into your account.

deposit bonus amount and currency

  • Enter the Deposit Bonus Percentage: Type in the percentage bonus the casino is offering for your deposit.

  • Enter the Wagering Requirements (Multiplier): Here, you’ll input the wagering requirement, often shown as a multiplier. For example, if the wagering requirement is 20x, you would enter "20."

  • Choose the Wagering Type: Some casinos apply the wagering requirement to only the bonus amount, while others apply it to both the deposit and bonus. Select which type applies to your bonus:
    • Bonus only: Wagering is only based on the bonus amount.
    • Deposit + Bonus: Wagering is based on the combined amount of your deposit and bonus.
    • Deposit only: Wagering calculations are based solely on how much you plan on depositing.
  • Fill in the Game Contribution Percentage: For example, slots may contribute 100%, while table games like blackjack might only contribute 10%. Enter the percentage for the game you’ll be playing.

After you fill in these fields, the calculator will give you the results instantly, so you can see how much money you need to wager to be able to cash out your winnings.

For a Free Bonus

If you’re using a free bonus, follow these steps:

  • Fill in the Bonus Amount: Enter the amount of the free bonus you received from the casino. 
  • Enter the Wagering Requirements: Just like with a deposit bonus, enter the wagering requirement multiplier. For example, if the requirement is 30x, you’d enter "30."
  • Fill in the Game Contribution Percentage: Enter the game contribution percentage. 

Once you’ve filled in these fields, the calculator will instantly show you how much money you need to wager to meet the requirements.

Understanding the Results

After filling out all fields, the calculator will show you three main results:

amount you need to wager info

Amount you need to wager

This is the total amount you need to bet to meet the wagering requirements. It’s calculated based on the bonus, your deposit (if applicable), the wagering multiplier, and the game contribution percentage. For example, if your bonus is $50 with a 20x wagering requirement, you will need to bet $1,000 total before you can withdraw.

bonus money result info

Bonus Money

This shows the amount of bonus money you’ll get based on your deposit or the free bonus amount. 

total money info

Total Money (Deposit Bonus Only)

This shows the combined amount of your deposit and bonus. For example, if you deposited $100 and received a $50 bonus, the total money would be $150.

Conclusion

The wagering calculator gives you a clear picture of what’s required to enable you to withdraw your winnings. It's fast and simple to use, and the best part is that you don't have to worry about doing maths and struggling with percentages and other time-wasting calculations.

You just punch in the values and you'll get the right info quickly and efficiently.
 

Wagering Requirements Calculator FAQs

Does using the calculator guarantee I’ll win money?
No, the calculator only helps you understand how much you need to wager to unlock your bonus. While it helps you quickly understand how much you need to wager before cashing out, it doesn’t influence or guarantee outcomes in games.
Can I withdraw part of my winnings before meeting the wagering requirements?
No. Most casinos require you to meet the full wagering requirements before any bonus-related winnings can be withdrawn.

What bonus offers are the best overall for a new depositing player?

Basically, I would like something simple, not complicated easy to understand, and free of a bunch of rules for wagering, etc. I would be depositing.
