How to read this wagering calculator
The play-time estimate assumes 6-second spin cycles, which is the average for desktop slot play in our testing. Mobile spin cycles run 7-9 seconds, which would extend the time accordingly. The expected cost is the operator's edge across the total wagering volume — for a typical 96.5% RTP slot this is 3.5% × wagering.
When clearing wagering is mathematically worth it
The rule of thumb: if the expected cost of clearing is less than 60% of the bonus value, the bonus has positive EV. At 35x wagering on 96.5% RTP slots, that threshold is C$25.50 in expected loss per C$100 bonus — well below the C$100 bonus value. At 60x wagering on the same RTP, the cost rises to C$210 per C$100 bonus — strongly negative EV.
