Reading wagering requirements
Turning a 40× headline into the number that matters
Wagering is stated as a multiple of the credited amount. At 40× a $100 bonus needs $4,000 of turnover before withdrawal; at 1× it needs $100. That single number moves an offer from useful to unusable, and it is the first thing to find in the terms.
Then read the weighting. If slots count 100% but live tables count 10%, the same requirement takes ten times the volume at a blackjack table. Bonuses that exclude sportsbook entirely are common and rarely stated in the headline.
Finally check the cap. A max cashout of 5× the bonus means a $100 credit can never return more than $500 no matter what you hit, which quietly deletes the tail of the distribution you were playing for.
