What is that bonus really worth?
A “100% up to $500” headline is marketing; the wagering terms decide what you actually get. Put the numbers in and see the turnover you'd owe — and the realistic value once you account for the cost of clearing it.

The big number is the total you must wager before the bonus can be withdrawn. The realistic value subtracts the expected cost of clearing it (turnover × house edge). A “Fair” verdict keeps most of the bonus; “Predatory” means the terms cost more than the bonus is worth — a smaller offer with light terms usually beats a huge headline you'll never clear.
FAQ
What does 'wagering' actually mean?
A wagering (or rollover) requirement is how many times you must bet an amount before a bonus becomes withdrawable. 35× on a $100 bonus means $3,500 in total bets — and if it applies to deposit + bonus, the figure roughly doubles.
Why is 'deposit + bonus' so much worse?
Because the multiplier is applied to a bigger base. 35× on the bonus alone is 35× $100; 35× on deposit + bonus is 35× $200. Same headline offer, double the turnover you owe.
How is 'realistic value' estimated?
We subtract the expected cost of clearing the wagering (turnover × house edge) from the bonus. It's an editorial estimate that assumes no max-bet breach and no game-weighting penalty — real terms are usually worse, never better. It is not financial advice.
