Casino Action - Wagering requirements. IMPORTANT CHANGES - HIGHLIGHTED
RECENT CHANGES have been made this month (August 2005)
Any deposit you make that generates a match bonus must be wagered in your real account before making any withdrawals. The first stage in the wagering of the bonus is taken care of in the bonus account, which has a monitoring tool that will tell you how much more wagering is required. It will also allow you to transfer winnings to your real account, subject to a minimum transfer of £50; (this means you need to win at least £50 in your bonus account before being able to transfer it). Once the transfer is made it can be withdrawn or played. The bonus account essentially contains a 'sticky' bonus. Once you have met the WR in the bonus account and transferred your winnings, the bonus will be removed. Further help is available from the link 'Managing your Bonuses' at the bottom of the main Casino Action page. Close this page to return there.
The wager requirement is generally 20x bonus (20x any qualifying deposit too) on 'most games'. This is a bit misleading, as the 'most games' turns out to be the slots. For Blackjack and Poker games (Including Video/Power Poker) the wagering requirement is 60x. Roulette, unusually, is included in this 60x bracket (you are even allowed to do Red+Black!). The exclusions are Bacarrat, Craps, and Vegas Strip Blackjack (wagering on these does not count towards the requirement). My guide to beating Microgaming wagering requirements can be found HERE

Wagering Requirements
This is how much you need to wager before being able to transfer winnings. It is based on 20x, so triple this figure if playing allowed Blackjack or Poker games.
