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

[goldkingcoiner]

20-25x seems more than fair. A wagering requirement of 20x is the minimal sweet spot where cheaters are sifted off from the real bonus players. I understand that casinos have to not only look at their profits but also protect themselves from easy cheating. We all know bonuses is one of the main areas where people like to cheat with multiple accounts.

Although I consider 30x or higher basically a marketing illusion bonus. Not worth it unless you really like the casino.

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.

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.

Can’t blame you with that preference since the visual appearance is always what you saw so visually pleasing is the most attractive part of the casino while bonuses and other features just comes next.

However, due to this fact many scam casino invest to their website to make it more fancy and attractive on users eyes that’s why they always manage to get a victim.

The good news is many reputable casino have a great appearance too so that we can enjoy this feature without the need to risk on new scam casino.

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.

The thing is, 40x is too much. As I said before, if they tell me I have to meet that requirement, I won't even go near the casino again. And in fact, a casino has to be competitive because the industry is vast, they have fierce competition. We can't be people who are always looking for opportunities with a 40x. I wouldn't do it even if they gave me the money to do it.

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.

Not rare but common. There is even some higher than it like 35x or more. If there is rare here than that would be the true low one like 1x. Casinos are wise. I don't think they will have a mistake on that regard. They can have a mistake in deep technical aspect that only real hackers can find out. That is where they can lose a lot of money. If we don't like the casino, then we can say words like ''they deserve it anyway''.

If we are talking about our own deposit money, then this must in fact be out of the wager requirements already because it was only our own money anyway, not theirs. Only criminal minds will think of withdrawing it in an instant for money laundering purpose but they should only built a tool to detect them.

With my own view, indeed this visual appearance can be one of the attractions of the casino for its visitors, because what I feel is like that and I think I'm not alone in feeling it, so maybe out there there are also those who when looking for a new casino one of the things to consider is to see the visual appearance of the casino itself.

Apart from that, yesterday I played using my friend's account and actually the situation was that I had made a profit so I wanted to withdraw it but when I wanted to withdraw it there was a statement that the amount I got had not met the requirements, and it turned out that previously my friend claimed the promotional features offered by the casino until this changed the minimum withdrawal amount. This is what makes me uncomfortable with requirements changing due to claiming a promotional offer or bonus.

[Johnlomape]

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?

Getting a 40x wagering requirement can be seen as normal and most casino can offer a lower requirement so that gamblers don't ask too many questions that may look like the casino don't want them to use the bonus given to them effectively.
I have heard from people about getting ridiculous wagering requirement that sounds like the casino don't want them to use the bonus given to them and only to make a deposit and play game alone. If I am give a ridiculous wagering on a new casino, I will assume that the casino is being wicked and unrealistic about their bonus.

40x is too much from player's point of view but from the casino's pov, it is the industry standard that they have calculated to make them get more edges than players. We as players are free to decide whether to take any offered bonuses by the casinos or not. Offering lower wagering requirement for similar bonus may make casinos become competitive indeed but players are now not only looking for lower wagering requirement. Players look a casino as a whole thing, not only look at the available promotions.

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.

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.

Unbelievable! Isn't it obvious that after 200x you will have nothing left? But, on the other hand, if I saw a proposition from a casino that I'm getting $50 for registration only(no deposits, no nothing), I would go for it even if the wagering requirement was 200x. I’d estimate the chance of being able to withdraw an amount worth talking about at 0.1%, but I’d still go for it.

I never liked deposit bonuses as part of the welcome offer. Even 30x is too high if you ask me. If the online casinos believed their players had high enough chances to cash out that bonus money, they would raise their wagering requirements or get rid of the promotion altogether. They are only there as an illusion. You will first have to gamble away your real-money deposit before you get to the casino's bonus money. By the time you change your mind (if you do) it can already be too late.

Casinos must change definition of bonus. It should be a reward if we talk about welcome bonus. Instead we get a challenge as a welcome bonus. Casinos must reward gamblers for activity on platform and that would be a bonus. Wagering requirement - that is a test and challenge for a gambler; same gambling as playing games. If this is a challenge, that it must be available to complete for majority. Ideal I think it will be have x10-20 as wagering requirement, but lower reward amount. Or it will be fair to make wagering requirement flexible. More wagering requirement, bigger prize, instead of similar price for everyone and nearly impossible to complete requirement.

That's correct. I do hope that some gambling sites are open to these kinds of changes whenever a competitive one comes in and is being compared to them. I mean, adjustments must happen in wagering requirements if they want their customers to stick with them. I believe the number of customers is important in trying to gain a high advantage and make profits in the short run. They are already making money through the house edge. Wagering bonuses are small perks for the gamblers, and I think they deserve it since we can go on a losing streak anytime and won't have anything back once we are depleted.

I would say, below 20x. Because even with 20x, hard to sustain your bankroll. Normally, if you are playing casino games, you can easily get busted. Now, if the casino is offering 20x or more wagering requirements for the bonus, I would say, they just don't want you to win at all. So yeah, bonus but it is good as loss already.

It's very true, it's very good for a casino to have such a high wagering requirement. As you say, it's a great advantage that we as players decide whether to take the bonus or not. I'm not one to take them, because that's giving away money. Our money should be valued, no matter how much it's given to me, and I don't think it's given to anyone, so we have to know how to take care of it. I understand that gambling is a big risk, but it's not something to be taken for granted. A 40x bonus for me is already lost.

[Versatile_choice]

I don't think there is any standard wagering for all casinos and all casinos have their rules but most of them have the 30 - 40 wagering. And as joeperry said 10-15 is only and if I will advise Op, you can use you own rules on the wagering which will be conviniece to gambler. You can create new things in your casino to bring more players.

You're right, majority of the casinos I used have the 30-40 wagering requirement. And it seems that's the normal wagering requirement for casinos but some casinos are now increasing thier wagering requirement by themselves while some are reducing it just to attract customers because gamblers like to go for the casino with low wagering requirement especially in terms of bonus.

In sport betting we have 5x wagering requirement and sometimes this 5x look like 40x because it's very hard to complete this wagering requirement without losing unless you're lucky.

[livingfree]

It becomes a norm these days that 20x is acceptable even if it's still considered high.

I guess that it will only change when most of the casinos especially the big ones will loosen on this requirement and will start to drop some numbers.

When they do, others will see it as an adjustment that they have to do since it will surely get the attention of the users who like to have that kind of lowered wagering requirements.
