Bonus Math
Bonuses at Casinomate come with wagering requirements that you must meet before withdrawing bonus-related winnings. Let’s break down a typical welcome bonus.
Example: A 100% match bonus up to €500 plus 100 free spins. You deposit €200, so you receive a €200 bonus. Your total balance is €400 (€200 deposit + €200 bonus).
Wagering Requirement: The bonus amount must be wagered 35x on slots (which contribute 100%). So you need to wager €200 × 35 = €7,000. If you play slots with an RTP of 96%, your expected loss after wagering is €7,000 × (1 – 0.96) = €280. Since your bonus is €200, the expected value (EV) is €200 – €280 = -€80. This means the bonus has negative expected value if you only play slots. However, by choosing games with higher RTP (e.g., 98% table games, but they contribute only 10% to wagering), the calculation changes. For table games, effective wagering requirement becomes €7,000 / 0.10 = €70,000, which is worse. So stick to high-RTP slots with full contribution.
To calculate break-even RTP: (1 – (Wagering Requirement Factor × Bonus Amount) / (Total Bet)) etc. Simpler: if you wagered the full €7,000, the house edge is 1 – RTP. To have positive EV, you need house edge on wagered amount < bonus amount. So €7,000 × (1 - RTP) < €200 → 1 - RTP < €200/€7,000 ≈ 0.02857 → RTP > 97.14%. So if you find a slot with RTP above 97.14%, the bonus has positive expected value.
