Bonuses

Wagering requirements in iGaming

Wagering requirements define how much a player must bet before bonus funds or bonus-related winnings can be withdrawn.

Example

A $100 bonus with 30x wagering requires $3,000 in qualifying bets before withdrawal, depending on the terms and game contribution rules.

Analytics impact

Higher wagering can reduce bonus abuse and bonus cost, but it can also reduce trust, increase support contacts, and lower long-term retention.

Metrics to track

  • Bonus opt-in rate.
  • Wagering completion rate.
  • Bonus-to-deposit conversion.
  • Withdrawal attempts after bonus use.
  • NGR and retention by bonus cohort.

Best practice

Compare cohorts with and without bonus exposure instead of judging wagering rules only by short-term GGR.
