What Are Wagering Requirements?
When you receive a bonus, you cannot withdraw it immediately. You must "wager" or bet a certain amount first. The wagering requirement is expressed as a multiplier (like 5x or 35x) of the bonus amount.
Basic Formula
Total wagering needed = Bonus amount × Wagering multiplier
Example: PKR 5,000 bonus with 5x requirement = PKR 25,000 in total bets needed
Wagering Requirements by Bonus Type
| Bonus Type | Typical Requirement | Time Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Sports Welcome Bonus | 5x on accumulators | 30 days |
| Casino Welcome Bonus | 35x | 30 days |
| Free Spins Winnings | 35x | 7-30 days |
| Promo Code Bonuses | Varies (check terms) | Varies |
| Free Bets | Usually none | 3-7 days |
| Reload Bonuses | 5x-10x | 7-30 days |
Sports Betting Wagering (5x)
How It Works
The sports welcome bonus requires 5x wagering on accumulator bets:
- Only accumulator bets count (3+ selections)
- Each selection must have odds of 1.40 or higher
- Single bets do not count toward wagering
- System bets may not count (check specific terms)
Example Calculation
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| Bonus received | PKR 10,000 |
| Wagering requirement | 5x |
| Total bets needed | PKR 10,000 × 5 = PKR 50,000 |
| Bet type required | Accumulators (3+ selections) |
| Min odds per selection | 1.40 |
| Time to complete | 30 days |
What Counts Toward Sports Wagering
- ✓ Accumulator with 3 selections at 1.50, 1.60, 1.80 odds
- ✓ Accumulator with 5 selections at 1.40, 1.45, 1.50, 1.60, 1.70 odds
- ✗ Single bet on cricket match (doesn't count)
- ✗ Accumulator with one selection at 1.30 odds (below minimum)
- ✗ Two-fold accumulator (needs 3+ selections)
Casino Wagering (35x)
How It Works
Casino bonuses typically require 35x wagering:
- Play casino games to meet requirement
- Different games contribute different percentages
- Slots usually contribute 100%
- Table games contribute less
Example Calculation
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| Bonus received | PKR 5,000 |
| Wagering requirement | 35x |
| Total wagering needed | PKR 5,000 × 35 = PKR 175,000 |
| Time to complete | 30 days |
Game Contribution Rates
| Game Type | Contribution | PKR 100 Bet Counts As |
|---|---|---|
| Slots | 100% | PKR 100 |
| Scratch cards | 100% | PKR 100 |
| Keno, Bingo | 50-100% | PKR 50-100 |
| Blackjack | 10% | PKR 10 |
| Roulette | 10% | PKR 10 |
| Video Poker | 5-10% | PKR 5-10 |
| Baccarat | 5% | PKR 5 |
| Live Casino | 10-20% | PKR 10-20 |
Rates may vary. Check bonus terms for exact percentages.
Why Slots Are Best for Wagering
With 100% contribution:
- PKR 175,000 wagering = PKR 175,000 in slot bets
- Same amount on blackjack (10%) = PKR 1,750,000 needed
- Slots complete wagering 10x faster than table games

Bonus vs Deposit — Which Is Used First?

- Your deposit is used for bets first
- Bonus funds used after deposit is gone
- Helps protect your real money
- Wagering counts regardless of which funds used
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I cash out before finishing wagering?
Normally no. Most bonuses disable cash out until wagering is complete. Attempting to withdraw early may forfeit the bonus and associated winnings.
Do all bets count toward wagering?
No. Sports bonuses require accumulator bets with odds 1.40 or higher. Casino bonuses exclude certain games or give reduced contribution rates.
Can I combine bonuses?
Usually only one bonus can be active at a time. Using another bonus may cancel the current one, so finish wagering before activating another promotion.
What if I lose all bonus funds?
Losing the bonus balance during wagering ends the bonus. Any remaining requirement disappears, and you can continue with real funds or claim another promotion.
Do free bets have wagering requirements?
Free bets typically return profit only and have little to no wagering. Always read the specific free bet terms to confirm.
How do I track remaining wagering?
Check the My Bonuses section in the app. It shows amount wagered, remaining requirement, and days left before expiry.
