Wagering requirements: the maths from the live table
Wagering tells you how many times an amount must be bet before a bonus, and the winnings from it, become withdrawable money. The formula is simple. Contribution rates and minimum odds are what make it tricky for live table players and bettors.
The basic formula
Requirement = base amount × multiplier. The base can be the bonus only, or bonus plus deposit. Each bet then counts at the contribution rate of its game.
| Game | Contribution often seen | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Slots | 100% | Every unit bet counts in full |
| Live roulette | 0–20% | Sometimes excluded entirely |
| Live blackjack | 0–10% | Most often at minimum contribution |
| Live baccarat | 0–10% | Tie bets sometimes excluded |
| Live game shows | varies | Check separately |
These are ranges commonly seen on the market, not Bilionro’s conditions (example figures in your account currency, not Bilionro terms).
Three worked examples
- Bonus 200, 25x the bonus: 5,000 to bet. On slots: 5,000. At live roulette at 10%: 50,000.
- Bonus 200, 25x bonus plus a 200 deposit: 10,000. At blackjack at 5%: 200,000.
- Sports bonus 100, 5x wagering, minimum odds 1.80: 500 in qualifying bets.
All example figures in your account currency, not Bilionro terms.
Wagering on sports bets
On sports offers, contribution is usually full, but only for slips that meet the minimum odds. A bet at 1.50 when the minimum is 1.80 does not count. Cash-out can remove a slip from wagering, and void bets — a postponed match, for instance — do not count.
Time, not only money
A live roulette table runs roughly one round a minute; a slot runs dozens of spins a minute. The same requirement is cleared at very different speeds. If the deadline is short and you mostly play live, work out how many hours of play the offer asks for, not only the amount.
Using the calculation
Before accepting an offer, divide the requirement by your usual stake: that gives the number of rounds or slips needed. Compare it with a normal week. If the answer is ten times higher, the offer is not for you.
