Bonus wagering is the requirement that determines how many times a betting bonus must be staked before it becomes withdrawable.

It defines the real cost of accepting a bonus.

How it works

• A bonus must be wagered a fixed number of times

• Only qualifying bets count toward completion

• Withdrawal is blocked until wagering is met

Example

• Bonus: $50

• Wagering requirement: 6×

• Total wagering needed: $300

Key characteristics

• Applies to free bets and deposit bonuses

• Often excludes low odds or specific markets

• Higher wagering = lower real bonus value

Important note
A bonus with high wagering requirements can be unprofitable even if bets win.
