Wagering requirements calculator (with bonus EV)
A wagering requirements calculator answers the one question bonus banners never do: how much money has to pass over the tables before a single cent becomes withdrawable, and what that turnover costs on average. A “100% up to €200” offer at 35× wagering on deposit + bonus demands €14,000 of turnover — a number no promotion page prints. Enter the terms of any offer below (reputable operators disclose them with the offer; MGA licensees are required to) and the calculator returns both the required turnover and the expected value (EV) — the honest figure that decides whether an offer is worth it.
Wagering & bonus value calculator
Enter the offer's real terms (they must be shown next to any bonus) to see the total turnover the wagering requirement demands and what the bonus is realistically worth.
The expected-cost model is: turnover × (house edge ÷ weighting). It shows the average mathematical cost of clearing wagering — individual sessions vary enormously. A bonus is never a way to make money; this tool exists so you can see what an offer actually costs. Full walkthrough: wagering requirements explained.
How to read the result
- Total turnover required is the hard number: bets placed, not money lost. Winning and re-betting counts toward it.
- Expected cost is turnover × house edge, adjusted for game weighting. It’s an average across many players — your session will land above or below it, sometimes far.
- A negative net value (EV) means the average player pays more clearing the wagering than the bonus is worth. That is the normal case, not the exception — bonuses are marketing, not gifts.
What 35x wagering actually means
“35x wagering” means the bonus (or deposit + bonus, depending on the terms) must be staked thirty-five times before withdrawal. On a €50 bonus that is €1,750 of turnover if it applies to the bonus alone, or far more if it applies to deposit + bonus. The calculator does this arithmetic for you and folds in game weighting, which quietly multiplies the real requirement when you play anything other than slots.
