How the Bonus Value Calculator Works
The calculator estimates how much of a casino bonus you'll retain after meeting wagering requirements. It uses the formula: Expected Value = Bonus Amount − (Total Wagering × House Edge).
For example, a R1,000 bonus with 30x wagering on slots with 96% RTP: Total wagering = R30,000. Expected loss = R30,000 × 4% = R1,200. Expected value = R1,000 − R1,200 = −R200. This bonus is slightly negative EV.
To improve your expected value, play games with higher RTP (like blackjack at 99% where permitted), or look for bonuses with lower wagering requirements. Anything under 25x is generally good value.
