What Happens If You Don’t Finish the Wagering Requirements?

Claiming an online casino bonus can seem like getting free money. But like all good things in life, there’s a catch known as wagering requirements. They’re part of nearly every bonus offer at online casinos in the Philippines. The kicker? 

If you don’t finish your bonuses at a specific timeframe, your winnings could disappear.

This guide explains what wagering requirements mean, how they affect your account, and what happens if you fall short of it.

What Are Wagering Requirements?

“Wagering requirements are rules that tell you how much you must bet before bonus money or winnings can be withdrawn.”

Here’s how they usually work:

• If you get a ₱1,000 bonus with a 30x wagering requirement, you need to place ₱30,000 in total bets before you can withdraw any related winnings.
  
• If your winnings came from free spins or a no-deposit bonus, those too will be locked until wagering is complete.

This system prevents players from claiming bonuses and cashing out instantly without playing.

What Counts Toward Wagering?

Not every game helps you finish your wagering requirement. Some contribute fully, others less, or not at all.

Here’s a general breakdown:

Game Type	Wagering Contribution
Slot Games	Usually 100%
Crash & Fishing Games	Often 50–100% (check bonus terms)
Table Games (Blackjack, Baccarat)	Typically excluded or only 10–20%
Progressive Jackpots	Rarely count toward wagering
Bets Before Bonus Activation	Do not count at all

Always check the bonus terms for exact contributions, as rules can vary between casinos.

What If You Don’t Finish the Wagering Requirements?

Fail to meet the requirement, and you forfeit the bonus and all winnings linked to it.

1. The bonus is removed from your account
   
   
2. Any winnings from the bonus are lost, so that slot jackpot you are gunning for is considered void.
   
   
3. Your own deposit remains (if untouched or partially used)
   
   
4. Withdrawals may be blocked until the bonus is cleared or voided

If you’re down to just real money in your account, you may request a withdrawal, but only once the system confirms you’ve opted out or finished the bonus.

Time Limits: How Long Do You Get?

Most bonuses have a countdown, ranging from a few days to a month.

Bonus Type	Common Time Limit
Free Spins Winnings	1–3 days
No Deposit Bonus	3–7 days
First Deposit Bonus	7–30 days
Reload/Promo Bonus	24–72 hours

If the timer expires, the system removes the bonus and winnings—even if you were close to finishing.

What If You Try to Withdraw Early?

• Your bonus is cancelled immediately
  
• Winnings earned with the bonus are forfeited
  
• Some platforms also cancel pending bets tied to bonus play
  
• Occasionally, some casinos also lock you out from future bonuses. It’s rare but possible)

Always check your wagering progress before tapping “Withdraw.”

What About Partial Progress?

If you’ve wagered a portion (say 70% of the total), that doesn’t count unless you complete it fully. You can’t withdraw a fraction of the winnings either.

It’s all or nothing. Bonuses tied to wagering are only unlocked when the full condition is met.

Cancelling a Bonus Midway

Many casinos allow players to cancel their bonuses midway. You can go into your promotions tab and click “forfeit” or “cancel bonus.” Doing this will:

• Remove the bonus and any bonus-linked winnings
  
• Leave your real money balance untouched
  
• Let you withdraw freely, if no other limits apply

However, once cancelled, you cannot reactivate it. So think twice before cancelling.

Common Player Mistakes to Avoid

• Claiming a bonus without reading the terms and conditions.
• Assuming all games contribute equally while in reality different games have different requirements.
  
  
• Forgetting the time limit and not using the bonuses fully.
  
  
• Betting too high (some casinos void bonuses for bets above ₱200)
  
  
• Trying to withdraw without finishing

Understand The Terms And Don’t Let Winnings Slip Away

Wagering requirements aren’t there to scam you but if you skip the details, you might end up losing your bonus and any winnings tied to it. It’s not about trickery. It’s about knowing what you’re agreeing to before you start playing.

If you’re claiming a bonus, always check the terms. Make sure you know which games count, how much time you have, and what happens if you try to cash out early.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wagering Requirements

Do I Need to Complete the Wagering All at Once?

No. You can complete it over multiple sessions, as long as it’s within the bonus validity period.

Can I Withdraw My Deposit Before Meeting Wagering?

Most casinos will lock both the bonus and your deposit until you meet the requirement or forfeit the bonus.

What Happens If I Lose My Balance Before Completing It?

If your bonus balance hits zero, the bonus usually ends and any pending wagering is cancelled.

Is It Better to Play Low or High Stakes to Clear Wagering?

Moderate stakes often work best. High bets may clear it faster, but also carry more risk.

Do Wagering Requirements Reset with Each Bonus?

Yes. Each new bonus comes with its own set of terms and wagering targets.

How Can I Track My Wagering Progress?

On platforms like JILI or Fachai, there’s a visible progress bar showing how close you are to completing the requirement.
