Pesos staked do not all contribute equally to a wagering requirement, even though it is measured in turnover. A different contribution rate is commonly assigned by operators to each game category, whether slots, table games, live dealer or others, as these differ in house edge and in how predictable their short-run outcomes are. Terms state the applicable rate for each category as a percentage by game type, and the operator sets it for that specific promotion.

A worked example

Not a real rate but a hypothetical case to show the mechanism: slots contribute 100% and table games contribute 10% in the terms, so ₱100 placed on a slot counts for ₱100 of the requirement and ₱100 placed on a table game counts for only ₱10. Category-by-category rates are found in the terms of whichever real promotion applies, they are not an industry standard, and they should never be taken from another operator’s offer.

The common misreading

One might easily assume that ₱100 wagered clears exactly ₱100 of a wagering requirement, whatever game it went on. It is correct only when the game contributes at 100%. The only warning that a game with a lower rate, or 0%, can be played at length while the requirement barely budges, or doesn’t budge at all, is the weighting table itself.

The multiple to be cleared is the wagering requirement; how different games count toward it is game weighting, and the two should not be treated as one. Also separate from it is the maximum bet rule, a ceiling on stake size rather than a contribution rate.

Using it in practice

Before you decide where to play toward a bonus, go to that specific promotion’s terms and read the weighting table. Quietly, a favourite table or live-dealer game with a much lower contribution rate than assumed lengthens the turnover that is actually needed. Next to what wagering requirement means, it fits more naturally, as those tend to turn up in the same group of terms.

On the game pages of this site, terms such as Game weighting come up again and again, and when the studio keeps the figure behind one private, the page tells you that instead of borrowing a number from a comparison site. This accounts for the empty cells you will see in several spec tables here.
