Wagering Contribution Tables and Why They Exist

Slots at 100%, table games at 10% or 0% — weighting steers you toward higher-margin games.

Bonus terms include a contribution table stating how much each game category counts toward wagering. Slots commonly count 100%, table games 10% or less, live dealer games often 0%.

The logic is margin. Low-edge games like blackjack would let a player clear wagering with a small expected loss, so operators reduce or remove their contribution.

There are two traps. Playing an excluded game while a bonus is active can void the bonus entirely at some operators, not merely fail to contribute. And a 10% contribution means the effective wagering requirement on that game is ten times the stated multiple.

Read the table before choosing what to play, and if the game you want is excluded, decline the bonus instead.

Gambling involves risk and there is no strategy that guarantees a win. Only stake what you can afford to lose. Support is available at BeGambleAware.org and GamCare.
