How to read these answers
The questions below explain the mechanics of wagering in general terms. All the numbers in the examples are made up and serve only to demonstrate the calculation, not as data about any specific promotion.
Every offer has its own rules: a different multiplier, different game contributions and a different validity. So treat this overview as an introduction to the topic and verify the specific values in the official terms.
If you want the calculation set out in more detail, see Wagering, where the whole mechanic is broken down step by step.
The topic can seem complicated, but at its core it comes down to one rule: how much you must stake before the bonus becomes yours. Once you grasp that, most of the other questions have a clear answer.
Frequently asked questions
How is wagering actually calculated?
You take the amount the requirement applies to and multiply it by the relevant multiplier. If a hypothetical bonus were 60 EUR and the requirement 30x, the total stake volume would be 1,800 EUR. Only after that has been staked is the bonus generally released. So the result depends on two things: the size of the amount and the multiplier applied to it. Verify the exact wagering figure on the official Dukat.bet site; the numbers in the examples are illustrative only.
Is only the bonus counted, or my deposit too?
It depends on the type of offer. Some promotions tie wagering to the bonus alone, others to the sum of the deposit and the bonus. That significantly changes the stake volume required, so always verify this detail in the terms of the specific promotion before you activate it. With a model 60 EUR bonus and the same multiplier, the difference between counting only the bonus and counting the deposit plus bonus is substantial.
Which games count toward wagering?
Slots usually contribute fully, while roulette, blackjack and live games often only partly or not at all. The values are general and vary from one offer to the next. You will find the specific contribution table in the official terms. If you mainly play titles that count fully, you will meet the requirement faster than with games where only a fraction of the stake counts. We have summarised the context on the [Bonus restrictions](/en/bonus-restrictions/) page as well.
What happens if I do not complete the wagering in time?
Once the validity expires, the bonus and any unplayed winnings from it generally lapse. What usually remains is your own deposit, provided it was not part of the requirement. Tracking the deadlines in advance helps you avoid this. That is why it makes sense to activate a bonus only when you genuinely plan to play, not right after registration. More on the [Bonus validity](/en/bonus-validity/) page.
Is the maximum stake limited during wagering?
Usually yes. While a bonus is active there tends to be a cap on a single stake, and exceeding it can lead to losing the bonus and the winnings. We do not state the specific limit as fact — verify it in the terms of the given Dukat.bet offer. The point of the restriction is simple: it stops you from meeting the requirement with a few very high stakes and thereby bypassing the purpose of the bonus.
Can I withdraw money during wagering?
Usually not the bonus portion or the winnings from it, until you meet the requirement. If you attempt a withdrawal earlier, the request tends to be declined or the bonus may lapse. Your own unrestricted funds are sometimes available, but the rules vary by promotion. If you trigger a withdrawal prematurely, in some cases you are knowingly cancelling the bonus, so it pays to check the wagering status first.
Does wagering also apply to free spins?
Often yes. Winnings from free spins tend to be tied by the same logic as a cash bonus, except the multiplier is usually calculated from the money won, not from the value of the spins themselves. You will find the exact method in the offer's terms, since some promotions offer spins with no wagering at all. We cover the details on the [Free spins](/en/free-spins/) page.
How do I find out how much is left to complete?
Most casinos show the wagering progress directly in the player's account, for example as the remaining stake volume or a percentage. Watching this indicator helps you plan your play so that you meet the deadline and do not burn your resources on low-contribution games. If you do not see such an overview in your account, contact support, who can confirm the current status for you.
Why does every bonus have different wagering terms?
Different types of offer serve different purposes, so they also have different multipliers and rules. A welcome package is usually set up differently from cashback. That is precisely why there is no single universal number, and each promotion has to be verified on its own. Even two similar-looking offers can have a different multiplier, a different validity or different game contributions, so always compare the specific terms. A lower multiplier on a smaller amount need not be worse than a large bonus with a strict requirement. You will find an overview of the offers on the [Bonus FAQ](/en/faq-bonuses/) page.
Does the type of deposit affect wagering speed?
Yes, indirectly. If you choose games with a higher contribution to wagering, you meet the requirement in fewer stakes; games with a lower or zero contribution prolong it or do not count toward it at all. So it pays to look at the contribution table before your first stake and plan what you will wager the bonus on. Always verify the specific contributions and the wagering figure in the binding terms on the official Dukat.bet site, though — this site explains them illustratively only.
