Wagering Calculation
Bonuses come with wagering requirements (playthrough). Here’s how to calculate if a bonus is worth it.
Example: You deposit $100 and receive a 100% match bonus of $100. Your total balance is $200 with a 30x wagering requirement on the bonus amount.
Formula: Wagering requirement = Bonus amount × Playthrough factor. In this case: $100 × 30 = $3,000. You must wager $3,000 before withdrawing any winnings from the bonus.
To calculate expected loss: Assume game contribution of 100% for slots, 20% for table games. If you play only slots, you need to bet $3,000. Average house edge on slots is around 4%. Expected loss = $3,000 × 0.04 = $120. Since your bonus is $100, the expected value is -$20. So the bonus is negative EV under these assumptions.
If you play table games with 20% contribution, you need to wager $3,000 / 0.2 = $15,000 to clear the bonus. Expected loss = $15,000 × 0.01 (house edge for blackjack) = $150, making the bonus worse.
Always check contribution percentages and pick games with highest contribution and lowest house edge. Use the formula: Actual wagering needed = (Bonus × Playthrough) / Game Contribution Percentage.
