What is a vager and how it affects the withdrawal of bonuses


A wager (from the English wager - bet) is a payoff coefficient that determines how many times a player must bet the amount of a bonus (or bonus with a deposit) before he can withdraw the winnings received from him. It is the main condition for the withdrawal of bonus funds in most online casinos and directly affects the real value of the offered shares.

1. The essence of the vager

When a casino provides a bonus - for example, 100 AUD per deposit or 50 freespins - the player cannot immediately withdraw these funds. First, you need to fulfill the condition for the rate turnover multiplied by the specified coefficient.

Example:
  • Bonus = 100 AUD
  • Wager = x30
  • Required sales = 100 × 30 = 3000 AUD rates.

2. Types of vager

For the amount of the bonus - calculated only from the size of the bonus.
For the amount of bonus and deposit - both deposit and bonus are taken into account.
For winnings from freespins - the wager is applied to the amount won as a result of free spins.

3. How the wager affects withdrawals

The higher the coefficient, the more difficult it is to fulfill the condition and withdraw money. Failure to fulfill the wager leads to the cancellation of the bonus and all winnings received with its help.

4. Wagering restrictions

Maximum bet - usually the casino sets a limit, for example 5 AUD per spin, beyond which the bonus can be canceled.
Limited Games - Some slots or board games may not count toward the wagering or may count partially (e.g., only 10% of the bet).
Wagering terms - bonuses have a limited validity time, most often 7-30 days.

5. Real impact on bonus value

Even a generous-looking bonus can be economically disadvantageous if the vager is too high (x40, x50 and above). Players should evaluate bonuses not only by their size, but also by the real chances of fulfilling the conditions.

Conclusion:
  • Vager is a key metric for whether you can turn bonus funds into real money. Before activating the bonus, it is important to study its conditions: the payoff ratio, allowable bets, a list of suitable games and terms. Competent selection of offers with a low wager increases the likelihood of successful withdrawal of winnings.
