For people who are used to playing at a UK casino that is land based, the concept of wagering requirements must be confusing.

 

 

The bonuses offered by online casinos are pretty easy to used to, and they usually seem pretty straightforward. If you’re losing regularly, then they really are pretty straightforward, but when you win and you want to withdraw, this is when things can sometimes get complicated. Bonuses will almost always have wagering requirements.
Meaning that you will have to bet a certain amount before you can withdraw. Often, people will confuse this number with a minimum balance. Thinking that they have to win some specific amount before being allowed to withdraw, but this would be very bad business for the casino. What is required is simply that you play a certain amount. Every game in any casino will have a certain house edge. The reason for the wagering requirements is to keep you betting until that edge takes all of your money. This might seem a bit underhanded, but these requirements also come with free money that can help you to win a lot more, so these two factors pretty much balance each other out. Pretty much every casino will also offer you the option to play without bonuses as well. This means you’ll never have wagering requirements to worry about. Of course, it also means you won’t have that extra money to play with, so there is also a downside.
