Wagering requirements at BK7, explained

The wagering requirement — also called rollover or playthrough — decides when bonus money becomes withdrawable money. It is the most important number in any promotion and the least read, especially on a phone, where it sits in small print under "Read more". This guide explains it with worked examples, without quoting BK7 figures, which the operator sets.

What it means in practice

30x wagering means betting 30 times an amount before you can withdraw. The key question is which amount. Two hypotheticals with a 100-unit deposit and a 100-unit bonus:

Wagering baseCalculationTotal to wager
Bonus only100 × 303,000 units
Bonus + deposit200 × 306,000 units

Wagering 3,000 units does not mean losing them: the balance goes up and down with each round. But with the house edge at work on every bet, the higher the total, the less likely you are to finish with a balance.

Game contribution

Not every bet counts equally. It is common for slots to count 100% and for live tables, roulette or blackjack to count less or nothing. Bet 10 units on a game contributing 10% and only 1 unit counts towards wagering. The contribution table is in each offer's terms.

Tracking your progress

Many accounts show a progress bar in the active bonuses section. Check it at the start and end of each session. If you cannot find it, ask support where progress is shown. Put the bonus expiry date in your phone's calendar: it is easy to forget.

Time limit

Every bonus has a deadline for meeting wagering. A requirement that is achievable in thirty days may be unrealistic in seven. Compare the total with how much you normally play in that time.

Mistakes that void bonuses

An honest appraisal

A bonus with low wagering and a generous deadline can make sense; one with high wagering and a short deadline is, in practice, balance for playing longer rather than extra money. Do the sum before accepting and, if the total looks out of reach for the way you play, play without the bonus.

Requirement vs rebate: don't confuse the two

Wagering is a condition for releasing a bonus; a turnover rebate is money returned based on your betting volume. The words sound alike, but they work in opposite directions. The cashback guide covers the second.

Frequently asked questions

What wagering do BK7 bonuses have?
We do not publish it, because each offer has its own and the operator can change it. You will find it in each promotion's terms, usually written as a number followed by an "x".
Is wagering calculated on the bonus or on bonus plus deposit?
It depends on the offer, and the difference is big: on bonus plus deposit, the amount to wager can double. The terms say which.
What happens if I do not meet wagering in time?
Usually the bonus balance and winnings from it are forfeited when the time limit ends. Any remaining real-money balance is typically kept, according to the operator's rules.
