Quick answer: A wagering requirement is the total you must bet before bonus money becomes cash you can withdraw. Most offshore casinos set it between 25x and 40x. Bovada applies a 25x playthrough to your deposit plus the bonus. A $100 deposit with a $100 bonus needs $5,000 in bets first.

Key Takeaways

  • Rollover, playthrough and wagering requirement mean the same thing — the total you must bet before bonus funds turn into cash.
  • Check what the multiplier applies to. Bovada’s 25x runs on deposit plus bonus. MyBookie’s casino rollover is 1x your deposit plus 40x the bonus.
  • Slots usually count 100% toward the rollover. Blackjack and roulette often count 5% to 10%. Craps and live dealer games often count zero.
  • Clocks are short. BetUS credits its 100% casino match with a 7-day expiry and a $5,000 cap on cash-outs.
  • Offshore rollovers run high by design. UK-licensed sites are capped at 10 times bonus funds under Gambling Commission code 5.1.1. Offshore books follow no such cap.
Trust & Authority

Daily Wager Zone is an independent betting resource. Every bonus term here was read from the operator’s own promotion and rules pages on September 1, 2026. Each source is linked at the end. Cost figures are our own math, labeled as analysis. We do not accept payment to recommend sportsbooks or casinos.

Affiliate Disclosure: Daily Wager Zone may earn a commission if you sign up through our links at no extra cost to you. This does not influence our analysis or recommendations.


Pro Tip: Find the phrase “deposit plus bonus” in the terms before you deposit. If it’s there, double your math. That one phrase decides whether you owe $2,500 or $5,000.

The $100 bonus that costs about $200 to clear

Deposit $100 at Bovada and claim the 100% match with code CAWELCOME100. You hold $200. The published 25x playthrough on deposit plus bonus means $5,000 in slot bets.

At a 96% RTP slot, the house edge is 4%. Four percent of $5,000 is $200.

DWZ analysis: you were handed $100 and, on average, you give back around $200 clearing it. Short sessions swing hard both ways, so plenty of players cash out ahead. The long-run average is still negative.

Flip one number and it changes. A 10x requirement on the bonus alone is $1,000 in bets. That costs about $40 against $100 of bonus money. Worth taking.

Maya Torres is a sports betting legislation analyst and regulatory writer covering the state-by-state legalization of sports betting across the United States. With a background in policy research and legal media, Maya tracks active legislation, ballot initiatives, and regulatory changes in every US state — giving bettors and industry observers the most current picture of where legal wagering stands nationwide.

Her work at DailyWagerZone focuses on comprehensive state pillar pages, bill tracking, and breaking news around sports betting law. Maya approaches regulatory content with the same depth and sourcing standards applied to legal journalism — citing official bill text, legislative calendars, and statements from gaming commissions rather than recycling secondhand reporting.

Before joining DailyWagerZone, Maya covered gambling law and public policy for independent legal and sports media outlets. She has tracked sports betting legislation since the Supreme Court's 2018 PASPA ruling opened the door to state-by-state legalization and has documented every major legislative development since.

Maya is based in Austin, Texas — a state still fighting for legalization — which gives her a personal stake in the coverage she produces. She can be found on Bluesky at @mayatorres-betting.bsky.social and Reddit at u/MayaTorres_DWZ.
