What is a wagering requirement?
A wagering requirement (also called a playthrough requirement) specifies how many times the bonus amount must be wagered before bonus funds and any winnings derived from them can be withdrawn as real money. For example, a C$100 bonus with a 30x wagering requirement means you must place C$3,000 in qualifying bets before the bonus converts to withdrawable cash.
How do I track my wagering requirement progress?
Your wagering progress is displayed in real time in your Account > Bonuses section. You can see the total wagering required, the amount already wagered, and the remaining amount needed to complete the requirement. This section also shows the expiry date of each active bonus.
Do all games contribute equally to the wagering requirement?
No. Game contribution rates vary. Slots typically contribute 100% of each bet towards the wagering requirement. Table games such as blackjack, roulette, and baccarat usually contribute 10% to 20%. Live dealer games may contribute at a reduced rate or not at all toward certain bonuses. Video poker and other specialty games have their own contribution rates. The full contribution table is available in the bonus terms on the Promotions page.
What happens if I withdraw before completing the wagering requirement?
If you request a withdrawal before completing the wagering requirement on an active bonus, the bonus balance and any winnings generated from bonus play will be forfeited. Your verified real-money balance (deposited funds not yet used in bonus play) will be processed normally. We recommend completing wagering requirements before withdrawing if you wish to retain your bonus winnings.
Is there a maximum win from a bonus?
Yes. Most bonuses at Betunited have a maximum withdrawal cap on winnings generated from bonus play — for example, a cap of 5x the bonus amount or C$500, whichever is lower. This cap applies only to bonus-derived winnings and does not affect your real-money balance. The specific cap for each bonus is stated in the offer terms on the Promotions page.
How long do I have to meet the wagering requirement?
Each bonus has a defined validity period during which the wagering requirement must be met — typically between 7 and 30 days from the date the bonus is credited. If the requirement is not completed within this window, the bonus balance and any associated winnings are automatically forfeited. The expiry date is visible in your Account > Bonuses section.
