A deposit bonus adds to your balance, but it comes with a condition you have to meet before you can withdraw. That condition is the part of the offer that matters most, and it comes in two different forms that are easy to mix up. This guide explains both, shows the arithmetic, and lists what to check before you claim anything.
Wagering, also called turnover or rollover, is an amount you have to bet. A 3x wagering requirement on a $100 bonus means placing $300 in bets. It does not matter whether those bets win or lose; each one counts towards the total.
Winover is a balance target. A winover of 3x on a $100 deposit and $100 bonus means your balance has to reach $600 before you can withdraw. Betting alone does not clear it. Your balance has to actually grow to that figure, and if it runs out first the target is never met.
The same "x3" can therefore mean very different things. Always read which one the offer uses and what the multiple applies to.
A multiple is only half of the rule. The other half is the amount it is multiplied by, and that amount changes the size of the task:
Promotion terms at FRENZY96 state the rule for each offer, for example a target of a set multiple of your deposit plus bonus. Current offers and their terms are listed on our bonuses page.
Take a hypothetical offer: deposit $50, receive a $50 bonus, with a 2x winover on the deposit plus bonus. Your starting balance is $100 and your target is $200, so your balance needs to double before you can withdraw. If the same offer used 2x wagering on the bonus only, you would need to place $100 in bets, and you could finish with any balance.
Neither version is free money. The house edge applies to every bet, so the more you have to play, the more of the balance you should expect to lose on average. A larger bonus with a harder condition can be worth less than a smaller one with an easy condition.
Not every bonus needs a deposit. Prizes from our free Footy Tips game are bonus credit with their own turnover and winover.
Wagering is an amount you have to bet, whether the bets win or lose. Winover is a balance you have to reach before you can withdraw, so your balance has to actually grow to the target.
Yes. Turnover, rollover and wagering all describe an amount you have to bet. Check the offer's terms, because a site may use one of these words for a balance target.
Not while the bonus condition is still open. Read the terms of the offer you claimed, and finish the condition before you request a withdrawal.
No. Many deposit bonuses apply to slots only, and each offer states the games it covers. Read this before you claim.
No. Bonuses are optional, and their terms are shown before you claim.
