Game Weighting
How much different games contribute to wagering requirements.
Full Explanation
Game weighting (or game contribution) determines how much each game type contributes toward clearing wagering requirements. Slots typically contribute 100% — every R1 wagered on slots counts as R1 toward the requirement. Table games contribute less: blackjack 10-20%, roulette 20-50%, video poker 10-25%. Some games may be excluded entirely (0% contribution). This means clearing a 30x wagering requirement on a R1,000 bonus requires R30,000 in slot bets but R150,000-R300,000 in blackjack bets. Always check game weighting before choosing which games to play with bonus funds — slots are almost always the most efficient choice.
💡 Example
30x wagering on R1,000 bonus: Slots (100%) = R30,000 needed. Blackjack (10%) = R300,000 needed.
