Game weighting

How much of each bet ("contribution des jeux") counts toward your wagering requirement. It changes by game type.

Game weighting, also called game contribution (contribution des jeux), is the percentage of your bet that actually moves your bonus progress bar. Slots usually count 100%. Table games, live dealer and some low house edge originals might count 10%, 5% or nothing.

Why casinos do this

They don't want you clearing a bonus on low-edge games like blackjack or dice. Play something that counts 10% and your wagering requirement (exigence de mise) is basically ten times bigger.

Real-life example

You still owe 2 000 $ of wagering. Spin slots at 100% and 2 000 $ gets you there. Switch to blackjack at 10% and it takes 20 000 $ worth of hands. Pick a game at 0% and you'll never finish.

What to look for

  • The weighting chart in the promo terms. It can be long and super detailed.
  • Any list of games you can't play, which often includes high RTP slots.
  • Whether touching a banned game while your bonus is active can cancel it. Lots of terms say it can.
