Plain Bonus Guide 18+

Wagering calculator

Work out what a 10x playthrough asks of you, before you deposit a penny.

Every casino on our list uses a 10x wagering requirement. The number is the same, but what it applies to isn't. At some casinos it covers the bonus plus spin winnings together; at others the bonus and the spins each have their own clock and their own cash cap. Pick a casino below to use its rules, or leave it on "any casino" for the plain 10x sum.

Bonus to play through £500

Spin winnings to play through £0

Total bets needed £500

Largest bet allowed see the casino's terms

Most you can convert to cash no cap stated

A £50 bonus at 10x means £500 of qualifying bets before it can become cash.

No calculator? Here's the rule of thumb

Add a zero. That's genuinely all 10x means: a £30 bonus needs £300 of bets, a £7.50 spin win needs £75. The calculator above only earns its keep when a casino adds a cap or a max-bet rule.

What counts as "bets needed"?

It's the total of every stake, not how much you lose. Spin 10p two thousand times and you've wagered £200, whether your balance went up, down or sideways along the way. Winnings you bet again count again. That's why a playthrough can be finished with far less money than the headline figure suggests, and also why it can quietly swallow a whole bonus.

Two other things change the real picture:

A worked example for each casino

Spin winnings below are made-up round figures, just to show the method. Real spins can win more, less or nothing.

PlayKasino 200 Free Spins

Deposit £20 for 200 spins (£20 at face value). If they win £17.40, you wager £17.40 × 10 = £174 on slots within 30 days. Max bet: £1.74. There's no bonus money to clear.

Swift Casino 100% up to £25 + 100 Free Spins

Deposit £25, get a £25 bonus. If the 100 spins win £12, you wager (£25 + £12) × 10 = £370 on slots within 30 days. Max bet: £3.70.

The Online Casino 100% Bonus up to £50 + 20 Free Spins

Deposit £40, get a £40 bonus. That's £400 of bonus bets within 30 days. Spin winnings of £8 need £80 within 7 days. Total: £480. Cash you can convert tops out at £50 from the bonus and £20 from spins.

Vegas Mobile Casino Welcome Package up to £1,000 + 100 Free Spins

Take an example bonus of £100 (the later-stage match rate isn't in the captured terms). That's £1,000 of bonus bets within 30 days. Spin winnings of £9.50 need £95 within 7 days. Total: £1,095. Cash you can convert tops out at £50 from the bonus and £20 from spins.

Luna Casino 100% up to £50 + 50 Free Spins

Deposit £50, get a £50 bonus. If the 50 spins win £6, you wager (£50 + £6) × 10 = £560 on slots within 30 days. Max bet: £5.

Deadlines matter as much as the sum. If a playthrough would mean playing more, or for longer, than you'd planned anyway, the kindest thing you can do for yourself is skip the bonus.
