Wagering of 30x on a ₱100 credit means ₱3,000 in qualifying wagers has to be placed before any withdrawal is allowed. Contribution rates usually differ by game, with slots often counting in full and table games possibly counting a fraction or nothing. What an offer is worth depends on the multiple, the weighting, the maximum stake allowed during wagering and the expiry window taken together.
Using it in practice
On its own, the multiple leaves the actual cost unstated. Look at the game weighting, the maximum stake while wagering and the expiry window, because any one of them can make a headline offer unusable, and the stake cap above all is often what makes clearing it impractical.
Terms such as Wagering requirement appear throughout this site’s game pages, and when a studio does not publish the figure behind one, the pages say so rather than borrowing a number from a comparison site. Gaps in multiple spec tables on this site come down to exactly that.
The common misreading
Most players read wagering as ‘deposit this much’. The figure in play is turnover, not deposit, and one sum of money is counted again each time it goes on a stake. Many also assume the headline multiple is the full condition, though the weighting and the stake cap frequently count for more.

A worked example
By the time the bonus is withdrawable, ₱3,000 of turnover on a 96% RTP game has an expected loss of about ₱120 attached. On a ₱100 bonus, clearing it already has a negative expected value, even before a game-weighting rule makes part of the turnover count for less than face value.
