What Are Wagering Requirements?
A wagering requirement — also called rollover or playthrough — is how many times you must bet a bonus before you can withdraw anything from it. "x35 wagering" on a 100 bonus means you must place 3,500 in bets first.
Why the number matters so much
Every bet carries the house edge, so wagering has a real expected cost. A 100 bonus at x35 on a 96% RTP slot requires 3,500 in bets, which is expected to cost 140 — more than the bonus itself. High wagering quietly turns a "gift" into a loss. Our free wagering calculator does this maths for any bonus in seconds.
The honest standard
At Skorsky, deposit bonuses run at 1x rollover — one qualifying bet and the bonus becomes withdrawable cash. When you see 1x, the bonus is real; when you see x35 or higher, run the numbers first.
Skorsky puts this honesty into its bonuses: your first withdrawal is doubled, 30% of losses come back as cash, and every offer is graded on the Bonus Honesty Index. Check any bonus with the wagering calculator first.
