What the multiplier actually multiplies

Wagering is written as a number and an x. What matters is what that number applies to: the bonus alone, or the bonus plus your deposit. The second form doubles the work for the same headline figure.

Game weighting

Slots usually count fully towards wagering; table games often count a fraction or nothing at all. A requirement that looks reachable on slots can be impossible on blackjack.

What to check before depositing

The bonus terms, not the landing page. Look for the multiplier, its base, the weighting table, the maximum stake per round and the deadline.
