What is bonus balance in online casino?

Bonus balance is promotional money that cannot be withdrawn until you meet wagering requirements — typically betting the bonus amount 30-50 times. Once wagering is complete, the bonus balance converts to real money (cash balance) that you can withdraw.

• Wagering requirement formula: Bonus amount × wagering multiplier = total bet required.
  Example: $100 bonus × 35x wagering = $3,500 in bets needed.
• Game contributions: Not all games count 100% toward wagering.
  • Slots: usually 100%
  • Table games: often 5-20%
  • Live dealer: often 0-10%
  • Check bonus terms before playing
• Time limit: Bonuses expire if wagering not completed within time (typically 7-30 days).
• Max bet while wagering: Most bonuses have a max bet limit (usually $5-$10 per spin) — exceeding it voids the bonus.
• Progressive wagering: Some casinos require you to wager deposit + bonus. Others require only bonus.
