Understanding Wagering Requirements

Wagering requirements determine how many times you must bet through your bonus funds before withdrawing any winnings. At PiratePots Casino, the standard wagering requirement is 35x for deposit bonuses and 40x for free spin winnings.

Example Calculation:

You deposit £100 and receive a 100% match bonus of £100.
Wagering requirement: 35x bonus amount = 35 x £100 = £3,500 in total bets required.

Only bets placed with bonus funds count towards wagering. Once you have wagered the required amount, your remaining bonus balance converts to real money that you can withdraw.

Maximum Bet While Wagering

When playing with an active bonus, your maximum stake per spin or game round is capped at £5 (or currency equivalent). Exceeding this limit may result in bonus forfeiture and voiding of associated winnings.

This rule exists to prevent bonus abuse through high-risk betting strategies. It applies across all games, including slots, table games and live casino.

Important: Some progressive jackpot slots require higher minimum bets to qualify for the jackpot. Playing these games with a bonus active is not recommended.

Restricted & Excluded Games

Not all games contribute equally to wagering requirements. Some games are restricted (reduced contribution) or excluded entirely when playing with bonus funds.

Game Type Contribution
Slots (most titles) 100%
Scratch Cards 100%
Roulette (all variants) 10%
Blackjack (all variants) 10%
Video Poker 10%
Live Casino Games 10%
Crash Games (Aviator, etc.) 0%
Progressive Jackpot Slots 0%

Specific slot titles may be excluded from bonus play. Check the full terms on each promotion for the complete list.

Bonus Validity Period

All PiratePots bonuses have an expiration window. You must complete the wagering requirements within this period, or the bonus and any associated winnings will be forfeited.

  • Welcome Bonus: 30 days from activation
  • Free Spins: 7 days from credit
  • Reload Bonuses: 14 days from activation
  • Cashback: 72 hours from credit

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Many players accidentally forfeit their bonuses by making simple errors. Here are the most frequent issues and how to prevent them:

1

Withdrawing Before Completing Wagering

Requesting a withdrawal while wagering is incomplete will cancel the bonus. Always check your progress in your account dashboard first.

2

Exceeding the Max Bet

Betting more than £5 per round, even accidentally through autoplay settings, can void your bonus.

3

Playing Excluded Games

Placing bets on excluded games (like crash games) with bonus funds active can lead to bonus cancellation.

4

Missing the Expiry Window

Bonuses expire automatically. Set a reminder if you need time to complete wagering.

5

Stacking Incompatible Bonuses

Most bonuses cannot be combined. Activating a new bonus while another is active may void both.
