Wagering Requirements

Alright, let’s talk about the elephant in the room—those nasty wagering requirements. I’ve mentioned them a few times already, but what are they really, and how do they work? Why do I call them nasty? Where’s the catch? Let me break it down for you.

Almost every time a casino gives you money or spins “for free,” they come with strings attached—wagering requirements. You see, you “almost” have the bonus, but it’s still not quite yours. You need to bet with the bonus money before you can actually cash it out. And that’s what the requirement is all about.

Wagering simply means betting—not whether you win or lose, just placing bets. So, if you get a €1,000 bonus with a 50× wagering requirement, that means you need to bet 50 times the bonus amount—€50,000 in total bets—before you can withdraw any winnings.

Let me clear up some confusion. Wagering 50 times doesn’t mean you have to turn your €1,000 into €50,000. It just means you need to place enough bets to add up to the required amount. The size of each bet can vary. For example, if you’re betting €1 per spin, and the wagering requirement is €1,000, you’ll need to spin 1,000 times. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose with each spin; you just need to keep betting until you’ve rolled over enough money to meet the requirement. After that, you’re free to start withdrawing.

The same goes for free spins. When you win any amount from a free spins bonus, you have to wager that amount before you can withdraw anything. The good news? In most cases, the amount you win from free spins isn’t huge, which means the wagering requirement can be met much faster than with a big matching bonus.

So, no matter what type of welcome bonus you go for, always check the terms and find out exactly what the requirements are to get the money out of the casino and into your pocket.

Terms, Conditions and… Restrictions

Aside from the wagering requirements, there’s another thing you need to watch out for: the terms and conditions. Every casino has its own set, and a big chunk of that is directly related to the welcome offers. With that comes the restrictions and rules you need to follow. I’ve already mentioned the bonus caps, but let’s talk about the minimum deposit requirement.

A bonus is “up to” a certain amount, but it doesn’t start at zero. You have to deposit a minimum amount before you can even qualify for the welcome bonus. If you deposit less than that, you won’t get any bonus, and you might wonder what’s going on. The minimum deposit is usually pretty low—typically around €20-€30. Keep that in mind, especially if you’re someone who likes to start safe with a €5 or €10 deposit, which is often the minimum allowed in many casinos. Deposit less than that, and the bonus won’t show up.

Also, make sure to check how each game contributes to the wagering requirements. Not every game counts the same, and some don’t count at all. Game contributions are percentages that show how much of each bet goes toward meeting those requirements. For example, video slots usually have a 100% contribution rate. If you bet €100 on a slot, the entire €100 counts toward the wagering.

Table games usually have a lower contribution rate, like 10% to 20%. So, if you bet €100 on a table game with a 20% contribution, only €20 goes toward the wagering requirements. You can see how much more you’d need to bet on table games to meet those requirements! That’s why slots are usually the fastest way to get there. And don’t forget, games with a low house edge or a high player advantage (like Baccarat or some slots) often don’t contribute at all. So, if you’re playing Baccarat, don’t expect any of your bets to count.

Finally, check if the games or bonuses are even available in your country. You might find a casino with a great welcome bonus or an awesome game selection, only to find out they’re restricted in your country. I’d rather know upfront that the casino isn’t available in my country than waste time signing up only to find out I can’t play the games I want or claim any bonuses.

So, what should you do? Check the casino’s terms and conditions—or any of my reviews—before you sign up. They’ll have a list of restrictions right there.

And if you see your country on that list, there’s only one option, but it’s not ideal: using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) to make it look like you’re playing from somewhere else. But here’s the problem: good VPNs cost money, and if the casino catches you, they can ban your account and refuse to pay. So, while it’s an option, I wouldn’t recommend it.

That’s pretty much it.

quality Welcome bonuses might look like a great way to get started, but they always come with conditions that make it hard to enjoy the full benefits. From wagering requirements to game restrictions and country limitations, there’s a lot you need to consider before signing up. Don’t be fooled by the big offers—know what you’re getting into.

The best way to avoid surprises is to read the fine print, understand the rules, and choose wisely. Whether you go for the bonus or just play with your own money, make sure you’re in control and playing by your own terms.
