What are wagering requirements and how do they work?

Verified: 2026-05-05 Source: WagerX Forensic Team Category: Bonuses & Wagering

Wagering requirements (also called "playthrough" or "rollover") specify how much you must bet through the bonus before any winnings are withdrawable. A 40x wagering on a $100 bonus means you must place $4,000 in total bets before cash-out.

Wagering applies to Bonus only ("B"), Deposit + Bonus ("D+B"), or Deposit only — and the exact form materially changes the effective cost. D+B at 40x is double the work of B-only at 40x. Game weighting can stretch the effective wagering further.

Common wagering range 30-50x typical, up to 100x outliers
Wagering basis matters B-only easier than D+B at same multiplier
Game weighting Slots usually 100%, table games 10-20%
Time limit Most bonuses expire if not cleared in 7-30 days
