Before withdrawal is allowed, a ₱100 credit with a 30x wagering condition has to be played through to ₱3,000 in qualifying wagers. Not every game counts the same toward the requirement: slots often count at 100%, but table games might count for a small share or zero. Four things set the value of a bonus: the wagering multiple, how games are weighted, the top stake you may bet while wagering, and how long you have.

The common misreading

A common misreading takes wagering to mean ‘deposit this much’. The requirement measures total bets placed, not the amount you deposited, so one stretch of money is counted over and over as it goes through bets. Another common belief is that the advertised multiple tells you everything, when weighting and the maximum stake can matter more.

You find out which of the three it is in the terms and conditions, not in the headline.

Using it in practice

You cannot work out the cost from the multiple alone. Any of three terms, game weighting, maximum stake during wagering or expiry window, can turn an attractive headline offer into something you cannot use; the stake cap is the usual reason clearing is impractical. It sits well beside the meaning of free spins and the meaning of bankroll management, terms that usually turn up together in the same group.

Wagering requirement turns up across this site’s game pages, and if a studio puts out no figure for it, the page states that plainly rather than borrowing a number from a comparison site. Which is the reason a handful of spec tables on this site have empty cells.

A worked example

At 96% RTP, ₱3,000 in turnover is expected to cost roughly ₱120 by the time the bonus can be cashed out. Clearing a ₱100 bonus has a negative expected value from the start, even without a weighting rule that credits some of your turnover at less than face value.
