How to Use the Calculator
What’s This Tool For?
Casino bonuses give you extra money to play with, which is great! But they usually have rules called Wagering Requirements. This means you have to bet a certain amount of money before you can take out any winnings you got from the bonus.
This calculator helps you understand:
How much bonus money you’ll really get.
How much money you need to bet in total (the wagering requirement).
How much “effort” it might take to clear the bonus.
How to Use It – Step-by-Step:
Choose the Bonus Type:
Click “Deposit Bonus” if you get the bonus for putting your own money in.
Click “No Deposit Bonus” if it’s a free bonus just for signing up (less common for big bonuses).
Enter the Bonus Details:
Fill in the boxes using the information from the bonus Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) on the casino’s website. Finding and reading the T&Cs is very important!
For “Deposit Bonus”:
Your Deposit Amount ($): How much you plan to deposit.
Bonus Percentage (%): How much the casino matches (e.g., 100%).
Maximum Bonus Amount ($): The most bonus cash they’ll give.
Wagering Applies To: Is it based on Bonus Only or Deposit + Bonus? (Check T&Cs!).
For “No Deposit Bonus”:
Bonus Amount ($): How much free bonus cash.
For BOTH bonus types:
Wagering Requirement (x): The multiplier (like 30x, 40x).
Game Contribution (%): How much your bets count on your chosen game (often 100% for Slots, less for other games).
See the Results:
The calculator instantly shows you:
Actual Bonus Received: The bonus cash you’ll get.
Total Starting Bankroll: (Deposit Bonus only) Your deposit + bonus.
Total Wagering Required: The total amount you must bet.
Estimated Bonus Clearing Difficulty: A bar showing how hard it might be to clear.
Example: Bovada Welcome Bonus
Let’s say Bovada has a Casino Welcome Bonus like this:
Type: Deposit Bonus
Bonus: 100% match
Maximum Bonus: Up to $1000
Wagering Requirement: 25x
Wagering Applies To: Deposit + Bonus Amount
Game Contribution: Slots count 100%, most Table Games 20%, Blackjack 10%, Roulette 5%.
Estimated Bonus Clearing Difficulty: The result is “Medium” because $25,000 is 50 times your $500 bonus amount.
What this means: You start playing with $1000, but you need to make a total of $25,000 worth of bets on slots before you can withdraw winnings made from the bonus money.
Understanding the “Difficulty Meter”
This bar gives you a quick idea:
Low: Fair wagering for the bonus size and is relatively easy to clear
Medium / High: Takes a good amount of play.
Very High / Extreme: A LOT of betting needed! Probably not worth your time/money
Super Important Note:
This calculator gives estimates. Casino rules can be tricky! Always, always, always read the full Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) for the bonus on the casino’s official website.
⚠️Warning: Look for Maximum Win Cap/Max Cashout Clauses!
Sometimes, especially with free “No Deposit Bonuses,” the casino puts a limit on how much money you can actually win and take out using that bonus. This is called a Maximum Win Cap or Max Cashout.
For example, you might get a $20 free bonus, complete all the betting requirements, and end up winning $500! But if the bonus had a $100 Maximum Win Cap, you would only be allowed to withdraw $100 of those winnings. The rest would disappear!
Where to Find It: Again, look for anything that mentions a maximum win cap or max cashout clause in the bonus Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) on the casino’s website. It’s super important to know this limit before you start playing!
