If we are talking about the wagering requirement on free spins winnings, I think x30 is a reasonable number. Back when I played heavily on Riobet and you could set aside those bonuses there, I would pile them up and wait until I had a more or less decent amount on the account, 50-60k. When the balance lets you place a bet of 100-200 rubles, even the maximum bonus amount at that time, 10k, was cleared pretty quickly. Honestly, over many years of playing I never felt any difference between playing with an active bonus and without it.

Last year the provider KA Gaming pleasantly surprised me, VIP, I made back the birthday gift purely on it.

Probably anything above x20 just isn’t worth it.

Obviously, if you hit the right time and place, x50 can be cleared, and if not, then you won’t even clear a wager on a x3 deposit. In general, it’s hard to say for sure, it all depends on the bonus lifespan, which slots are involved, what the maximum bet is – and you really have to look at the whole set of criteria together. Personally, for me, a wager is cleared best in PG Soft slots that are not too volatile – sometimes you can just bounce the balance back and forth there for hours. And I personally don’t play with bonuses, it’s easier for me to just do it on a deposit – got lucky – withdrew.

Honestly, a decent bonus is rare these days. So it is not even about debating the wager here, but about where you can even get a good bonus at all) Because mostly everywhere there is a max cashout, and then there is hardly any point in taking something like that.

I think a fair wager for deposit bonuses is up to x20, but most of the time they shove x30-40. Whoever puts x50-60, in my opinion, that is a total scam.

If you are taking bonuses that you have to clear with your own money, then ideally it should be x3-5, above x10 it is not worth taking. The exception is if you are playing regularly in some project, then in principle x15 is fine too. Since you still play often anyway, and an extra penny will drop in from time to time.

If you judge it more broadly, then in general it does not really matter what the wager is, whether 40 or 30. If you hit a lucky day, then x40 is easy to clear. If it is a chasing-losses day, then even x3 on the deposit does not get rolled through.

For the last five years or so, I have not really been a fan of playing on bonuses, if we are talking about slots and especially deposit bonuses. And when I did play, I picked low-volatility slots, they often held the balance and let me clear the bonus. I consider a wager above x30 almost impossible, especially when the casino itself offers the slots for it, it is obvious that in 99.9% of cases it will be a losing game. I sometimes play roulette with KCh, there the deposit bonus in the casino is not “sticky”…)

Ideally, I think x15 is the most reasonable option for both the player and the casino, of course it is better for the player if it is as low as possible, but if we are looking at that kind of middle ground, then I think x15, because x20 and above is already a pretty big number, so I think x15 after all

I think the most reasonable amount is 15x, and no more than that, because if we are talking about a small win, it is often very hard and problematic to clear it with a 35x wagering requirement, and almost impossible, since you still need to somehow spin that amount up, and 15x gives more motivation and a better chance that you might actually win something back!

In my opinion, 20x is normal, because sometimes the bonuses are 45-50x.

You can clear 20x if you bounce between different providers, just don’t sit on one provider, you won’t clear it that way, I know from experience.

And those 50x are basically impossible to clear, you get through around 30-40x, then the slots stop paying, it’s happened to me like that 5-7 times, so 20x is a perfectly normal wager.

The most reasonable wager is, of course, x1))) But in reality, you hardly ever see such a wager anywhere. Sometimes, only on birthdays, casinos can give bonuses with that kind of wager. Other than that, you can still clear bonuses up to 30x. Anything higher already takes a ton of luck. And now there’s this trend of setting wagering requirements at 45-60. Well, that is just completely unacceptable. If it were only the wager, fine, but now they usually also cap withdrawals from all bonuses at x1-x5 of the bonus amount.
