Understanding Wagering Requirements

the.casino Editorial · 2 September 2026

What is a wagering requirement?

A wagering requirement is the number of times you must stake a bonus before you can withdraw anything won from it.

The maths

If you claim a £20 bonus with 10x wagering, you must place £200 of bets before withdrawing.

  • 10x or lower — generous
  • 20x to 35x — standard
  • 40x or higher — hard to clear

Wager-free bonuses

Some operators pay spin winnings as cash with no playthrough. These are almost always better value, even when the headline number is smaller.
