How to Calculate Wagering on Online Slots
To calculate a wagering requirement, multiply the bonus by the number in its terms: for example, a £10 bonus with a 10x requirement means £100 of bets before the bonus money can be withdrawn. Then allow for how much each game counts, and divide by your stake to see how many spins that takes. Since 19 January 2026, no site licensed in Great Britain can set a requirement above 10 times the bonus funds.

Working out a wagering requirement, step by step
1. Find the amount the multiple applies to. The Gambling Commission’s definition is a requirement to place bets adding up to a set total before funds become withdrawable, with that total given either as a fixed sum or as a multiple of something such as the bonus. The offer’s terms say which.
2. Multiply. The bonus times the multiple is the total you have to bet. A £20 bonus at 5x needs £100 of bets; the same £20 at 10x, the highest multiple a site licensed in Great Britain can now set, needs £200.
3. Allow for game contributions. Each offer sets how much of every bet counts. Slots usually count in full, while table and live casino games often count for only part of each stake, or not at all. On a game that counts for a fifth, a £1 bet adds just 20p to your progress, which is why our guide to game weighting is worth a look before you pick a game. Once you know which slots an offer allows, our guides to the most-searched slots may already cover how they play.
4. Convert pounds into spins. Divide the total by your stake per spin. At 10p a spin, £100 of wagering is 1,000 spins; at 50p it is 200. Many offers also cap the stake you can place while bonus funds are in play, and going over that cap can cost you the bonus, so look for a max bet rule before you choose a stake.
5. Check the deadline. Offers give a set time to finish the wagering, commonly somewhere between five and 30 days, and bonus money still unwagered when the time is up is cancelled together with anything won from it. Our guide to how long bonuses last goes through the usual limits.
A worked example
Here is the arithmetic for an illustrative offer of £10 in bonus funds with a 10x requirement, played on a slot that counts in full. The figures are examples only.
| Step | Working | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Total to bet | £10 × 10 | £100 |
| Spins at 10p | £100 ÷ 10p | 1,000 spins |
| Spins at 20p | £100 ÷ 20p | 500 spins |
| Spins at 50p | £100 ÷ 50p | 200 spins |
| On a game that counts for a fifth | £100 × 5 | £500 of bets |
Anything won along the way isn’t yours to withdraw yet. Under UK guidance, winnings made with bonus funds belong to the bonus balance until the wagering is complete, which keeps them apart from your cash balance. Once the £100 has been bet, whatever remains in the bonus balance can become withdrawable, although some offers limit how much of it can be turned into cash. Every spin is random, so there is no knowing in advance what will be left.
What the 10x cap means in pounds
Multiples were often far higher before the cap: the Gambling Commission’s own illustration was a £10 bonus with a 50 times requirement, which meant £500 of play before winnings could be withdrawn. Under the rule in force since 19 January 2026, that £10 bonus can need no more than £100 of bets, a £25 bonus no more than £250, and a £50 bonus no more than £500. The Commission’s stated aims were to reduce harm and to make offers simpler and clearer, and the same date brought a ban on single offers that mix types of gambling, such as betting and slots.
A bonus that only has to be played through once, with any winnings free to withdraw straight away, doesn’t count as having a wagering requirement under the Commission’s definition. No-wagering free spins work this way. To weigh up two offers with different terms, see our guide to comparing slots offers. Current offers and their full terms are on our promotions page.
Frequently asked questions
How many spins does 10x wagering take?
That depends on the size of the bonus and your stake. A £5 bonus at 10x, for instance, means £50 of bets: 500 spins at 10p, or 100 spins at 50p, on a slot that counts in full. On a game that counts for less, the number of spins rises in proportion.
Can I withdraw my own money while I’m wagering a bonus?
Yes. UK guidance says players must be told they can withdraw their deposit balance at any time, including while a bonus is active, and that wagering requirements must not apply to play with their own money. Check the offer’s terms for what happens to the bonus itself if you do.
Does wagering apply to free spins?
It applies to the winnings rather than the spins. When free spins winnings are credited as bonus funds, the terms say how many times those winnings must be played before they can be withdrawn. Our guide to free spins vs bonus funds sets the two side by side.
