What’s an acceptable wagering requirement for you on Casino Bonuses?

[sompitonov]

It's good to get cashback without any conditions. But I never got much cash back, because I don't spend much money on gambling. As for as i know cash back is only given based on losing money on bets. But your friend will spend a lot of money in this case because the wagering of bonuses offered by the casino is comparatively high. But I never try if I have less money. Because the chance of winning the bonus is not even 10%.

It is true that this cashback is obtained according to the amount of loss we experience, the greater the loss we experience, the greater the amount of cashback but it is not ethical if we deliberately spend a lot of money just to pursue cashback.

With this cashback itself, it can be said that there are no requirements to get it, it only depends on the amount of our losses, in contrast to bonuses that sometimes have new rules that are different from the initial rules, this is what makes me not interested in bonuses.

The point is that players strive to win, not focus on losses. Cashback is simply a mitigating factor that can provide some peace of mind for a player who has lost. Those players who have been playing for a long time have received quite a bit of cashback, even if they've lost a lot of money. It's certainly better to get at least some cashback than nothing at all. If I were choosing a casino, I'd choose one with a higher cashback than others; that would be at least one of the reasons for my choice.

Every gambler is there to win and losing is inevitable and cashback make the gamblers come back regularly and if there was no gambler has cashback for a long term gambling then, many would have stopped gambling by now. It is the motivational factor for all the gamblers. If a gambler has lost $2,000 in gambling and he has managed to cashback $100 or more, he will have hope to hit the bigger amount one day.

Almost all gamblers that are involving themselves in betting want to make money by all means and some people don't mind going as far as cheating for them to be profitable. Losing bet is one thing that supposed to make gamblers to reduce the risks they are taking when gambling. To be profitable is not really easy because you have so many things to put in place for you to gamble responsibly.

I’m curious to hear where the community stands on wagering requirements.

Before everyone jumps in with “0x”,  yes, that’s obviously the ideal. But realistically, casinos need some edge to sustain bonuses and promotions.

So the real question is: what do you consider acceptable?

Personally, I see anything above 35x as a hard no-go.
Around 30x or lower feels reasonable to me, depending on other terms (game weighting, max bet rules, etc.).

Where do you draw the line?

there was a time i got a bonus from bcgames of about 22,000 naira and i was asked to gamble about 400k naira before i can claim that bonus and it took me over 8 days to achieve that result and i got really disappointed when i got that bonus amount of 22k after raising the balance to over 450k+
i think some of these casinos make it seem almost impossible to achieve their wagering requirement because why on earth will you ask me to raise 22k to over 400k and be sure to have gambled  equivalent of the 400k

to me, a 20x is fine and would drag more people into trying their site  but maybe they can make the entry level more higher but claiming the bonuses shouldn't be something too difficult.

[blockman]

20x is very likeable as a wagering requirement and near to the current standard that's being asked for 30x. Beyond 60x could be too much and I think everyone is already aching if it's around 50x. So these are the estimates that everyone might think of the numbers given by the casinos as their wagering requirement. I remember at time that there's this 90x or 100x just for withdrawal to fill in the requirement. I guess that's too much but when we're too determined to do that, it can be done but at our expense.

Unfortunately, casino will not give us the option to choose what percentage or x of wager requirement we would be comfortable with when they give or want to offer us a bonus, so all that we are actually discussing here is nothing but for discussion sake.

Casinos don't give a general bonus without attaching some strings to it, it's not but a business which they plan to make profit from as well, so when ever a casino launches a bonus that any body can take advantage of, rest assured that what ever percentage they are going to place the wager requirement is one they have calculated well and are very sure it's going to benefit them more than it should benefit any gambler except it's a situation where the gambler is or was extremely lucky.
So, I think if we find a way to really understand this, it will help us as gamblers to know when and which bonus to say no to, cus not every casino bonuses come with good motive from the casino.

I honestly don't know how many people you'd attract, but if someone tells me that with a 20x requirement, I'll never look at that site again. If 2x or 3x already seems like too much, now you're saying 20x? No way, bro. I think it's better to just give the money to the casino and be done with it, without needing to bet because that's a sure way to lose it.

I second you here, I would also not look at a site again if it needs 20x wagering requirement for the bonus and instead I would avoid any kind of bonus that needs 20x wagering because it's almost impossible to complete 20x wagering requirement without losing every last dollar in your account and if someone losses every last dollar in their account then how could they complete 20x wagering requirement? They can't the answer is simple because they've lost even the deposited amount.

They will be the ones that shall be followed because it is their platform and we're only users. In the end, the choice is also on us if we're going to abide on that or will ignore the requirements and stop what we're trying to aim with the quest or promos we're filling in. If we only want to gamble and have fun then this shouldn't be a big thing about what they ask unless it's about the withdrawal that any amount we're about to get. Usually, that's the process when it's our first time or when all of a sudden we asks them for a request for a long time.

It makes sense what you said that you would choose a casino with higher cashback than others, but how to determine it? I myself sometimes like to see that there is a popup in the casino that explains about cashback but that in my opinion depends on the amount of loss we experience, so the greater our loss, the greater the amount of cashback. But I don't know if I'm right or not with the cashback statement, because it's just a thought from my gambling experience.

I've never heard of such huge requirements before. 50x or 60x would be considered too high by most gamblers, I'm sure, and the owners of gambling sites know that. They are not that stupid to make their wagering requirements so high, let alone 90x or 100x. I'm confident that the future belongs to those who understand this simple thing. We all know that gamblers shouldn't be greedy or they can lose everything. Well, it works both ways.

Actually there are some especially if you look at the terms carefully. For example, casinos say that their bonus come with 40x wagering requirement but when you read the terms, you may find casinos that apply this wagering requirement to deposit+bonus. Mathematically the real wagering requirement will be 80x because it is deposit + bonus. The point is that we should not look at the number only but we should also look into the terms deeper so we wont regret later.

Cashback depends on the amount you lose. Casino usually have different percentage of your lose as your cashback and sometimes it based on your VIP level.

However, some casino use cashback term for the rakeback which has different computation based on the house edge of the game you are playing and you can earn even without losing.

If you think that 50x or 60x is too high, what would you say to 120x or 200x? Some online casinos that are part of the Canadian VIP program, Casino Rewards VIP, have playthrough requirements of 200x. It used to be 120x in the past, but in the meantime I think they have all increased this to 200x. That's crazy high but the casinos are still operational. I have no idea how popular they are, though. I don't want to mention any names, but it's not hard to find just by searching for the name of the VIP program.

[CryptoYar]

Other than just numbers, let's consider house edge. Little wagering rule on poor odds game can be as hazardous as high multiplier. Players, in my opinion, fail to read small print on bonuses concerning maximum wins. Site can restrict your winning even if you are playing low game. I believe it would be best to monitor player data with statistical return. You are sure to be making loss if promotion obligates you to play low value slots for couple of days. These promotions are way of raising false expectations among retail gamblers in industry. One thing that you should prioritize is instant withdrawal option, as compared to any promotion match offer.

They can't the answer is simple because they've lost even the deposited amount.

I think such high wagering requirements are quite rare. They may even have been set by mistake instead of 2x. In my opinion, the most reasonable wagering condition, whether for a bonus or a deposit, is simply to wager the amount you deposited into the casino or the amount of the bonus you received. In that case, everything becomes straightforward and achievable. A bonus only makes sense if players have a realistic chance of meeting the requirements and benefiting from it.

I think it's better to just give the money to the casino and be done with it, without needing to bet because that's a sure way to lose it.

At 3x, every casino would be basically bleeding money!
Even if they ask 5x on 90% RTP games, you're still guaranteeing overall that your bonuses will at least end up half in the players' pockets, not to mention that even the losses they incurr it will still affect your balance negatively, because the damn RTP on actual piad oney wil included this losses, so if all the players with a bonus lose it will simple mean the others will win a lot more than usual on averge.

For slots, any x10 is giving away money for real, with no mathematical chance of it being just throw-away money, any casino would be bankrupt if it offered any consistent sums at those rates.

[slaman29]

Well if you give 0x and you make the prize/bonus really rare or hard to get already, its actually sustainable (and just a way to get marketing anyway right?).

Dice sites been doing 1x or 2x wager requirement for years, they are sustainable

In the face of this 30x is always ridiculous for me, I'll never change my mind on that. Worse is you only get 100% wager counted on slots. Casinos now all offering fake 'originals' and you basically get 25% wager counted on them. Such anti marketing!

I've never heard of such huge requirements before. 50x or 60x would be considered too high by most gamblers,

Usually this comes from 30x requirements that includes 'deposit+bonus'. So in effect you deposit $100 and get 100% bonus, you have to do 30x for $200. Essentially, 60x

[henmark]

Personally, I see anything above 35x as a hard no-go.
Around 30x or lower feels reasonable to me, depending on other terms (game weighting, max bet rules, etc.).

Where do you draw the line?

I would say max I saw that was accepted by people was x40, which is still a lot but people were understandable about it and did not complain, if you are ok with it you used it, if not then not used it but we get it. Anything under that is better and fine and liked by people a lot, and anything above that is impossible and not liked and nobody wants to use it.

So make sure that if you own a casino, 40x is the max you can go to, it would be better if you do less, but you also can't do zero, so you gotta be either 40x or under it by a just small number, but if you ever do one that is above that? Believe me when I say this that people are going to hate that and not going to be really liked at all. Just avoid it as much as possible.

Yes, it's true what you said, because I also think so. As long as I have been gambling by finding many casinos but I have never looked for a casino by looking or looking for information about the cashback percentage, but is there a casino that displays the cashback percentage?

What I pay more attention to when looking for a new casino is its appearance, although this has no effect on fraud prevention but somehow I choose a casino on its appearance alone.
