A Guide to Casino Bonus Contributions

When you eagerly claim a massive casino bonus, the required playthrough or wagering requirement is usually heavily advertised.

Casinos do not treat all of their games equally when it comes to clearing these massive bonus requirements.

The Safest Bet for Clearing Bonuses

In almost every single online casino, standard video slot machines contribute exactly 100% toward your wagering requirements.

By offering a 100% contribution rate, they actively push bonus users away from the more player-friendly table games.

• Video slots are the absolute fastest way to clear any standard casino bonus
• A $5 bet on a 100% contributing game removes $5 from the requirement
• Casinos prefer slot players because the games rely entirely on pure chance

The Mathematical Penalty on Skill Games

Because these games feature an incredibly low house edge (often under 1%), casinos heavily penalize them regarding bonus contributions.

This means you would have to wager ten times the normal amount just to clear the exact same bonus.

Checking the Terms and Conditions

Before you ever deposit money to claim an offer, you must relentlessly hunt down the casino's specific bonus Terms and Conditions.

If you exclusively play live dealer roulette, accepting a bonus where roulette contributes 0% is a massive, incredibly frustrating mistake.

Never assume a game counts; always check the specific terms and conditions table before placing your first bonus wager.
