Wagering requirements explained
The wagering requirement decides how much you must stake before bonus money is yours.
By Ryan Jessop. Last checked .
Key takeaways
- Wagering = bonus × multiple.
- UK maximum 10x since 19 January 2026.
- Three of our bonuses have none.
- Check the deadline too.
Quick answer: Multiply the bonus by the requirement. £25 at 10x is £250 of stakes.
The sum
| Bonus | Stakes needed | Average cost at 96% RTP | Average left |

| £25 | £250 | £10 | £15 |
| £50 | £500 | £20 | £30 |
| £100 | £1000 | £40 | £60 |

Worked example
- Deposit £25 at 10bet; receive £25 bonus.
- 10x means £250 of slot stakes.
- Three days: about £83 a day.
- Average cost about £10; about £15 survives.
- Finish in time and the remainder is cash.
Game contribution
Slots usually count in full; tables far less: games and bonuses.
How a bonus is lost
- Missing the deadline.
- Withdrawing early.
- Exceeding the maximum bet.
- Playing excluded games.

Bonus only, or deposit plus bonus
Check what the multiple applies to. Both wagered offers here apply it to the bonus. On a 100% match, "10x deposit plus bonus" would be double the staking.
Wagering on free spins
Where it exists, it applies to what the spins win. A £6 win at 10x needs £60 of stakes. The three spins offers here have none.
Tracking progress
Casinos show wagering progress in the bonus section of your account. Check it before the deadline, not after.
