How to read your result—and what it leaves out
Use the estimate to understand the play required, then check the offer terms it cannot assess.
What “estimated stakes needed” means
The main number is the total you would need to stake across wagers if every bet contributes at the rate you entered. It is not an amount to deposit at once and does not predict what you will lose. The coloured scale compares that estimate with the bonus funds; its labels are illustrative, not a verdict on the offer.
Bonus funds and wagering basis
The match percentage determines bonus funds, up to any maximum-bonus cap. Starting balance is your deposit plus those funds. The calculator then applies the multiplier to the amount named in the terms: bonus funds, the deposit, or both. This gives the qualifying wagering target before game contribution is taken into account.
Based on a $100 deposit and a 100% match.
The same offer produces twice the target.
Game contribution changes the estimate
Contribution is the share of each stake that counts towards the target. At 20%, a $1 stake counts as $0.20, so estimated total stakes are five times the 100%-contribution figure. A game with 0% contribution cannot reduce the requirement.
Use the rate for the game you intend to play. The result panel’s “How this is calculated” section shows the steps for your figures; our wagering requirements guide has more examples.
What the estimate cannot assess
Even a correct stakes estimate cannot tell you whether a bonus is good value, whether every bet will qualify, or whether a withdrawal will be approved. Check maximum-bet rules, excluded games, expiry periods, maximum cashout and eligibility conditions in the operator’s current terms.
These terms can make a smaller, clearer promotion more practical than a larger advertised bonus. Our casino bonus listings show the details available when each bonus was checked. Do not deposit more just to reach a bonus limit.
