    Playthrough

    Synonym for wagering or rollover requirement.

    Full Explanation

    Playthrough is another term for wagering requirement, describing the total amount of money you must bet before bonus funds can be withdrawn. The term is used interchangeably with 'wagering requirement' and 'rollover.' A 35x playthrough on a R2,000 bonus means placing R70,000 in total bets. Different games contribute different percentages toward playthrough: slots typically contribute 100%, while table games may contribute only 10-20%. Some games may be excluded entirely. Understanding playthrough contributions is crucial for efficiently clearing bonuses. Always check the full terms before accepting any casino bonus.

    💡 Example
