Game weighting: how much each bet counts

Game weighting (wagering contribution) is the share of a bet that counts towards the wagering requirement, depending on the game. Slots usually count 100%, roulette and blackjack 5-20% or nothing at all.

Formula and example

Counted towards wagering = bet x game weightingA €100 bet on blackjack at 5% weighting: €5 counts towards wagering.

A typical table

Roulette10-20%low house edge
Blackjack, baccarat0-10%house edge of about 0.5-1.5%

The figures are indicative: every operator has its own table.

The logic: wagering should cost the same

Weighting evens out the cost of wagering across games. In a slot with an RTP of 96%, every €100 of wagering costs the player €4 on average. In blackjack with a 0.5% house edge, the same €100 would cost €0.50, and the bonus would be cleared almost for free.

At 5% weighting, the player has to bet €2,000 on blackjack to count €100. The expected loss is €10: wagering costs about as much as in slots again. Effective RTP under wagering helps you compare games.

Common mistakes

  • Setting 100% for every game. Wagering moves to tables and live games with the lowest house edge.
  • Hiding the table in the general terms. Players find out about it when their wagering stops moving. Show the weighting next to the bonus.
  • Not updating the table. A new provider with 98-99% RTP games quietly makes wagering cheaper for every bonus.
