Wagering requirements explained, with real numbers

What a wagering requirement is

A wagering (or rollover, or turnover) requirement is how much you must bet before bonus money — and often your deposit — can be withdrawn. “30x” means you must place bets worth 30 times a stated amount.

Check the basis: bonus or deposit + bonus

Example: you deposit ₱1,000 and get a 100% bonus of ₱1,000 with 30x wagering.

• If wagering is on the bonus only: 30 × ₱1,000 = ₱30,000 in bets.
• If wagering is on deposit + bonus: 30 × ₱2,000 = ₱60,000 in bets.

The same “30x” can mean twice as much betting. Always find the basis in the terms.

The expected cost of clearing a bonus

Every game has a house edge. Over many bets you should expect to lose about that share of everything you bet. On a slot with 96% RTP (4% house edge), ₱30,000 of bets costs about ₱1,200 on average — more than the ₱1,000 bonus. At ₱60,000 the expected cost is about ₱2,400.

That is an average, not a promise: you may lose your whole balance long before you finish, or win. But it shows why a big bonus with high wagering usually costs more than it is worth. Our bonus calculator does this maths for you.

Rules that can void your bonus

• Game weighting: table games or live casino may count only 10–20% (or nothing) towards wagering.
• Maximum bet: a single bet over the limit (for example ₱250) can cancel the bonus and any winnings from it.
• Expiry: unfinished wagering after the deadline means the bonus is removed.
• Withdrawal before completion: requesting a withdrawal early often forfeits the bonus.
• Excluded payment methods or games: some deposits do not qualify at all.

Cashback and rebates

Cashback returns part of your net losses; a rebate returns part of what you bet. Since May 2026, PAGCOR has capped cash rebates at 1.5% of turnover or deposit for slots, e-bingo, numeric games and sports betting, and cashback at 15% of net losses for e-games. An offer above these levels is a reason to check the operator carefully.
