CRYPTO BONUS CALCULATOR

A 30× wagering requirement on a $500 bonus means you must place a total of $15,000 in bets before you can withdraw. At a 2% house edge, you're expected to lose $300 (2% of $15,000) just to unlock the bonus. That leaves roughly $200 of real value from a $500 face-value bonus.

With 0× wagering (rakeback), you get cash directly back on your net losses — no playthrough required. A $500 rakeback is worth $500. A $500 bonus at 40× wagering at 3% house edge is worth just $500 × (1 − 0.03 × 40) = $500 × (1 − 1.2) = negative EV. The bonus literally costs you money to claim. Stake and Gamdom both offer 0× rakeback structures.

Most casinos weight games differently. Slots typically count 100% toward wagering but have higher house edges (2–8%). Blackjack and video poker count at 10–20% (or are excluded), but have edges of 0.5–1%. For wagering purposes, low-variance slots with 97%+ RTP are usually optimal — lower house edge means less expected loss per dollar wagered. Always check the casino's game weighting page.

Usually not. Free spins have a fixed value per spin (typically $0.10–$0.20) and their own wagering requirements. Enter the equivalent cash value in the calculator. A 200 free spins bonus at $0.10/spin = $20 face value. With 40× wagering, the real value is about $6. A $200 cash bonus at 0× wagering = $200 real value. The free spins bonus often sounds bigger but delivers far less real value.

The formula gives you the mathematically expected value. Actual results vary due to variance — you could run above or below expectation. The calculator assumes you complete the full wagering at a consistent house edge. It doesn't account for bonus expiry time limits, maximum bet rules during wagering, or game weighting differences.
