Although a wagering requirement is set in turnover, the rate at which each peso staked counts differs. Because game categories differ in house edge and short-run predictability, operators commonly give slots, table games, live dealer and others different contribution rates. A percentage beside each game type in the terms states the rate, which the operator chooses per category for that one promotion.

Using it in practice

Pick games for a bonus only after reading the weighting table in the terms of that exact promotion. Silently, the amount of turnover needed grows when a favourite table or live-dealer game contributes at a much lower rate than a player assumed. The quickest way to fix it is against what wagering requirement means and what max bet rule means, which appear beside it in most rulebooks.

You will meet Game weighting and terms like it across the game pages on this site, and if a studio has not released the number behind one, the page says that outright rather than copying a figure from a comparison site. For this reason, you will notice gaps in some of the spec tables on these pages.

The common misreading

People often take for granted that ₱100 wagered clears exactly ₱100 of a wagering requirement, whichever game it went on. That statement is accurate just for games contributing at 100%. Games with a reduced rate, or 0%, let a player wager a lot while the requirement hardly moves or does not move at all, with the weighting table as the only notice.

Do not confuse game weighting with the wagering requirement itself; the requirement is the multiple, and weighting is the rate at which games count toward it. It should also not be confused with a maximum bet rule, which is a limit on stake size and not a contribution rate.

A worked example

A hypothetical shows the mechanism, not an actual rate: with slots contributing 100% and table games contributing 10% under a promotion, ₱100 staked on a slot clears ₱100 of the requirement and the same ₱100 on a table game clears only ₱10. The rate given to each category comes from the terms of the specific promotion, not from an industry standard, and should never be carried over from another operator’s offer.
