Casino bonuses are a great way to boost your fun in the UK online gambling scene. But before diving in, it's crucial to understand the terms and conditions, especially the difference between bonus and deposit wagering. Both significantly affect how much you need to play before you can withdraw your winnings.
Wagering refers to the total amount you need to bet before you can convert bonus funds or winnings into real, withdrawable cash. It's essentially a playthrough requirement set by the casino.
Bonus wagering applies to the bonus amount you receive from the casino. Let's say you claim a 100% deposit match bonus up to £100 with a 30x wagering requirement. Here's how it works:
This means you need to wager a total of £3,000 before you can withdraw the bonus money or any winnings generated from it.
Whenever you receive free spins from Pocket Win Casino, either as part of your welcome package or as an existing player bonus, the winnings from those free spins will have a 40x wagering requirement (unless otherwise stated in the promotion). This is because those winnings are classed as bonus credit. This does not apply to Free Spins won whilst playing with your cash credit.
Example of wagering:
Please be aware that multiple attempts at deposit and withdrawing without any gameplay may result in the delay, or even refusal to complete the withdrawal. This is an added protection to ensure that all regulatory requirements are being adhered to.
Depending on the mobile casino game you’re playing, your bet counts different amounts against the wagering requirements.
Playing any Pocket Win Casino slots game counts 100% up to £5 towards your wagering requirement. That means that if you wagered £5 for example, then £5 would be removed from the wagering requirement remaining on your bonus. But if you wager £25, only £5 will be used for your wagering requirements.
Note that stakes from live casino games do not qualify for wagering requirements as well as some of our slots such as: Go Gold, Sparky & Shortz, Eye of the Kraken. Any skill based, crash game, virtual game, one way win game do not qualify for wagering requirements.
Wagering requirements ensure players don't simply claim a bonus and withdraw it immediately. They encourage you to play and EXPERIENCE the casino's offerings.
Remember: Always read the terms and conditions of any casino bonus before claiming it. This will ensure you understand the specific wagering requirements and avoid any surprises. All bonuses referenced are subject to Pocket Win Casino general terms and conditions.
By understanding wagering, you can make informed decisions when claiming casino bonuses in the UK and maximise your chances of turning them into real winnings!
