  • Wagering

Rollover is the wagering total a player must complete before bonus-related funds can become withdrawable. Also called a wagering or playthrough requirement, it applies a multiplier to a stated base: the bonus alone, the deposit plus bonus, or occasionally winnings from a promotional credit. The formula is qualifying wagering = calculation base × multiplier. For example, 10x applied to a $100 bonus produces a $1,000 target. Canadian players should also check eligible games, contribution rates, maximum stakes, expiry dates and cash-out limits. In Ontario’s regulated market, an offer must present all material conditions and limitations when it first appears.

How Rollover Requirements Are Calculated

The calculation starts with the base named in the promotion’s terms. If a 10x multiplier covers only a $100 bonus, the target is $1,000. If it covers a $100 deposit plus a $100 bonus, the same multiplier creates $2,000 in qualifying stakes: ($100 + $100) × 10. Only settled, eligible bets normally reduce the balance. Game weighting can change the pace; a $20 wager credited at 20% advances the requirement by $4, not $20. Players should verify excluded games, maximum bet limits and whether real-money or bonus balances are used first.

How Rollover Terms Affect Bonus Value

A smaller multiplier usually means less betting volume, but it does not alone determine value. The calculation base matters just as much: 20x on a $100 bonus requires $2,000, while 20x on a $100 deposit plus $100 bonus requires $4,000. Contribution percentages, stake caps, excluded titles and expiry rules can raise the practical difficulty. A withdrawal before completion may cancel the bonus and related winnings if the terms say so; it does not automatically mean all account funds disappear. Conversion or maximum-cash-out caps may further restrict the amount transferred to the cash balance.

Ontario Rules for Bonus Term Disclosure

Ontario requires gambling offers to disclose every material condition and limitation at first presentation. That means players should see consequential rules—such as playthrough, eligibility, expiry and cash-out restrictions—before deciding whether to participate. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario sets the standards, while iGaming Ontario conducts and manages the province’s regulated private internet-gaming market. Rules differ elsewhere in Canada because provinces and territories oversee gambling within their jurisdictions. Regardless of location, read the complete terms, set a firm budget and never increase stakes merely to finish a promotional target.
