Casino bonuses are a great way to boost your fun in the UK online gambling scene. But before diving in, it's crucial to understand the terms and conditions, especially the difference between bonus and deposit wagering, and how casino bonus wagering calculator’s work. Both significantly affect how much you need to play before you can withdraw your winnings.

Wagering refers to the total amount you need to bet before you can convert bonus funds or winnings into real, withdrawable cash. It's essentially a playthrough requirement set by the casino.

Bonus wagering applies to the bonus amount you receive from the casino. Let's say you claim a 100% deposit match bonus up to £100 with a 40x wagering requirement. Here's how it works:

• Deposit: £100
• Bonus Received: £100 (100% match)
• Wagering Requirement: 40x (£100 bonus) = £4,000

This means you need to wager a total of £4,000 before you can withdraw the bonus money or any winnings generated from it.

Whenever you receive free spins from Luck, either as part of your welcome package or as an existing player bonus, the winnings from those free spins will have a 40x wagering requirement (unless otherwise stated in the promotion). This is because those winnings are classed as bonus credit. This does not apply to Free Spins won whilst playing with your cash credit.

Deposit Bonus

Let's say you deposit £10 and claim a 100% bonus with a 5x wagering requirement. You play your designated slots game, which contribute 100% to the requirement. In return, this is what a wagering calculator reveals:

• Bonus Received: £10
• Total Playable: £20
• Wagering Requirement to Meet: £50 (5x £10 bonus)

No Deposit Bonus

No deposit bonuses are offered upon registration, without requiring a deposit. The calculator works similarly, but with the initial bonus amount instead of your deposit.

For example, if you receive a £10 no deposit bonus with a 5x wagering requirement and play the select online slot with 100% contribution, the calculator would show:

• Bonus Received: £10
• Wagering Requirement to Meet: £50 (5x £10 bonus)

Please be aware that multiple attempts at deposit and withdrawing without any gameplay may result in the delay, or even refusal to complete the withdrawal. This is an added protection to ensure that all regulatory requirements are being adhered to.

Here is how you can check your wallets, balances, and wagering requirements.

This is displayed on the top of the screen at all times. It’s divided into Cash and Bonus.

Balance is the total amount available to play formed by cash balance plus bonus balance.

Cash is real money from the account which can be played or withdrawn.

Bonus represents a promotional amount which can be used for playing but cannot be withdrawn until the wagering requirements are met.

Below this, you will see a breakdown of the available bonuses, divided into categories.

Free Spins means total free and active rounds available on the account.

Depending on the mobile casino game you’re playing, your bet counts different amounts against the wagering requirements.

Playing any Luck Casino slots game counts 100% up to £5 towards your wagering requirement. That means that if you wagered £5 for example, then £5 would be removed from the wagering requirement remaining on your bonus. But if you wager £25, only £5 will be used for your wagering requirements.

Note that stakes from live casino games do not qualify for wagering requirements as well as some of our slots such as: Joker's Luck, Go Gold, Heavenly Gold, Forest Fruit Magic, Reel Gems, Stumpy McDoodles 2, Trojan Kingdom, Unusual Suspects, Wild Wild Romance, Sparky & Shortz, Amazon Kingdom, Stellar 7s, 9 Burning Stars™ Halloween Edition,  Wild Marlin Big Game Fishing,  Treasures Of Kilauea, Red Hot Sapphires, Eye of the Kraken, Black Horse Cash Out Edition, Hot Slot: 777 Cash Out Grand Gold Edition, Legion Hot 1, Scarab Kingdom.  Any skill based, crash game, virtual game, one way win game do not qualify for wagering requirements.

Wagering requirements ensure players don't simply claim a bonus and withdraw it immediately. They encourage you to play and EXPERIENCE the casino's offerings.

Remember: Always read the terms and conditions of any casino bonus before claiming it. This will ensure you understand the specific wagering requirements and avoid any surprises. All bonuses referenced are subject to Luck Casino general Terms and Conditions.

By understanding wagering, you can make informed decisions when claiming casino bonuses in the UK and maximize your chances of turning them into real winnings!
