How Wagering Works
Jackpot City offers a welcome package that typically includes a 100% match bonus up to a certain amount plus free spins. Let’s break down the wagering requirement calculation.
Example bonus terms: 100% match up to $1,600, with a 50x wagering requirement on the bonus amount. Free spins (e.g., 50 spins on a specific slot) have winnings subject to 50x wagering too.
Deposit and bonus scenario: You deposit $100. You receive a $100 bonus. Your total balance = $200 (real money: $100, bonus: $100). Wagering requirement: 50 × $100 = $5,000. You must place bets totaling $5,000 before you can withdraw any winnings associated with the bonus. Only bets on eligible games count (slots contribute 100%, table games often 10% or less).
Free spin example: 50 free spins on “Starburst”. You win $25 from the spins. That $25 becomes bonus money with a 50x wagering requirement: 50 × $25 = $1,250. You need to wager $1,250 more.
Combined scenario: You have the $100 deposit (real), $100 bonus, and $25 free spin winnings (bonus). Total bonus funds = $125. Total wagering = 50 × $125 = $6,250. You can use real money first, but withdrawals cannot happen until all wagering is met. Tip: Keep track of your progress in the “My Account” > “Bonus” section.
