In betting, the wager is the number of mandatory bets required to withdraw the bookmaker’s bonus.
Bookmakers often offer different bonuses in order to attract new players and increase the deposit amount. For example, a welcome bonus for registration in many bookmakers gives you a chance to get 50-100% of the first amount deposited. And everything would be great if it weren’t for certain terms and conditions, which must be read even before agreeing to participate in the bonus program.
Wagering conditions
What is it all about? The fact is that you can’t just deposit money, get a bonus and withdraw it to a bank card. It is necessary to fulfill a certain condition: to wager the bonus, that is, it is necessary to make a certain number of bets. You need to pay attention to the fact that usually there is a specific minimum size for bets. A bettor can dispose of the bonus only when he wagers the wager. After that, the money received from the bookmaker can be cashed out or put further into the game.
Types of wagers
Different bookmakers set their own conditions for receiving bonuses, but usually they are all subject to the same principles. They can be considered as an example.
The new bettor registered and decided to replenish the deposit with 100 euros. He plans to bet on the most common sport, football. The bookmaker can offer him the following most probable conditions.
- The bonus is 15% of the amount of the first deposit, but not more than 300 euros. The bonus, according to the example, will be 15 euros. The wager will be equal to 100 * 10 = 1000 euros. At the same time, if the newcomer had deposited not 100, but 5000 euros, then the bonus would not have been 750, but still 300 euros, the wager would have been 5000 * 10 = 50000 euros. The number of bets is not limited, but to get the bonus, you need to wager the wager.
- The bonus is 50%, the wager is equal to 3 bets of 3 euros each. By betting on 3 singles (expresses) of €3 each, the player will receive a bonus of €50.
- The bonus is 100% of the first deposit of money, the wager is *10. To receive the €100 bonus, the player needs to wager exactly the same amount ten times. In total, it is necessary to place bets for 1000 euros, and the entry of bets will not matter.
It is necessary to remember that both bonuses and wagers are also different for different bookmakers. Before you are tempted by gifts from a bookmaker, you should carefully study the conditions for receiving them.
