Wagering multiplier

The multiplier applies to
Deposit + bonus
Doubles the answer when it reads deposit + bonus rather than bonus alone.
Game RTP while wagering
96%
The studio's own published figure for the title you will clear on. Solaspins records those on the game pages, each with the spec sheet it came from.
What the bonus is worth
−180.00
Computed by the same function the calculator above runs. The build refuses to publish this page if the two disagree.
A 100% match on 35x deposit + bonus requires 7,000 in stakes. A game returning 96% keeps 4% of everything staked, so clearing that turnover costs 280 in expected losses against a 100 bonus. The offer's expected value is therefore −180: on these terms the bonus is a discount on a loss rather than free money. Raise the RTP or lower the multiplier and watch the sign change — a 25x bonus-only requirement on the same game prices at +0.
WHAT THIS CANNOT TELL YOU
Where the answer stops being one.
Every calculator on this site ends here, because the number at the top is only as good as what it leaves out — and what it leaves out is never nothing.

What it means
What this cannot see
Expected value is an average over an enormous number of spins, and one session is not that. Variance is the reason a negative-expectation bonus is sometimes cleared at a profit and a positive one is sometimes lost; the bankroll calculator is where that spread is sized. This also assumes you clear the wagering in full on one RTP — mixing games, hitting a maximum cash-out cap, or breaching a maximum-stake rule mid-wager all change the answer, and none of them is visible from the figures above.
What it is not
Arithmetic, not advice. Nothing on this page recommends gambling, gambling more, or taking any particular bet, and no calculator turns a negative expectation into a positive one.

Put this on your own site.
Free, no account, no charge and no script of ours on your page. The snippet loads the calculator on its own in an inert frame, and keeps an attribution link outside it in your markup.
The frame is inert HTML — no script of ours runs on your page. The attribution line sits outside it, in your own markup, so your readers can reach the full calculator. The height is set for a column up to 640px wide; in a much narrower one, raise it until the frame stops scrolling.

A wagering requirement is a turnover target.
This guide shows you how to turn any wagering requirement into a single number: the total you must stake before a balance is yours. It uses no real operator's offer and recommends none — it is the arithmetic, so you can run it on whatever is in front of you.

Is the bonus value calculator free to use and embed?
Yes. There is no account, no sign-up and no charge, the page works with JavaScript switched off, and the embed snippet on this page may be pasted into any site. The only thing asked in return is that the attribution link outside the frame is left in place.
Where this arithmetic comes from, and what it is worth.
The formula is printed in full on this page so it can be checked rather than taken. Solaspins asserts no figure of its own here: every number is either one you typed or one derived from it, and the worked example is generated by the same function the form runs. Last checked 2026-08-23. This is arithmetic — not financial, legal or gambling advice.
