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.
Go to the offerWhat 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 base | Calculation | Total to wager |
|---|---|---|
| Bonus only | 100 × 30 | 3,000 units |
| Bonus + deposit | 200 × 30 | 6,000 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
- Exceeding the maximum bet with bonus funds, even with one accidental tap.
- Playing games excluded from the offer.
- Requesting a withdrawal before wagering is met.
- Letting the deadline pass.
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.
