Take 30x wagering on a ₱100 credit: ₱3,000 of qualifying wagers has to be placed before the bonus allows a withdrawal. Slots often count in full, but table games may count a fraction or nothing at all, because games usually contribute at different rates. Combined, the multiple, the weighting, the maximum stake permitted while wagering and the expiry window settle the worth of an offer.
A worked example
Before the bonus can be withdrawn, ₱3,000 of turnover on a 96% RTP game is expected to cost you about ₱120. Clearing a ₱100 bonus is a losing proposition in expected value terms before game weighting even enters, and weighting can make some of that turnover count for less than face value.
The common misreading
‘Deposit this much’ is the way wagering is widely read. The measure is turnover and not deposit, so money that is staked again and again is counted every time. Another habit is to assume the headline multiple is the whole condition, even though the weighting and the stake cap often matter more.

Using it in practice
Knowing the multiple is not enough to know what you will pay. Start with the game weighting, the maximum stake while wagering and the expiry window, because a headline offer can be made unusable by any of the three, and the stake cap is often the thing that makes clearing it impractical.
Terms such as Wagering requirement turn up throughout this site’s game pages, and whenever a studio keeps the figure behind one unpublished, the page states that and does not quote a comparison site’s number. Blank cells in the spec tables here come from exactly this.
