Wagering Requirements are used in conjunction with casino bonuses or the casino’s policy and represents the number of times you have to playthough either the bonus or the bonus + the deposit at an online casino before you are eligible to withdraw any of your funds.
Such conditions will be how much you have to wager, and what games are permitted and prohibited from play. Playthrough requirements can range between 10x for the less strict bonuses and up to 40x for the more strict bonuses.
The number that represents the amount of playthough required for a bonus is typically assigned by the risk management team representing the casino. Generally the more generous the bonus, or if it's too good to be true it's likely that they will have imposed a larger wagering requirement for the bonus.
