Wagering Requirements At LightningBet
A wagering requirement (also called a playthrough) is the number of times you must bet a bonus amount before LightningBet lets you withdraw bonus-related winnings. LightningBet calculates it as: bonus amount × wagering requirement, and only settled bets count (voided or cashed-out bets do not count). All figures below use Australian dollars (AUD) and the requirement stays the same whether you deposit by Visa/Mastercard, PayID, or bank transfer.
- Example 1: You deposit AUD 100 using PayID and receive an AUD 100 welcome bonus with a 35x wagering requirement. You must place AUD 3,500 in total bets (100 × 35). If you place 70 bets of AUD 50 on eligible games and they all settle, you complete the wagering.
- Example 2: You deposit AUD 60 using a bank transfer and receive an AUD 30 reload bonus with a 20x wagering requirement. You must place AUD 600 in total bets (30 × 20). If LightningBet counts pokies at 100% and table games at 10% toward wagering, then AUD 400 wagered on pokies adds AUD 400 progress, while AUD 2,000 wagered on blackjack adds AUD 200 progress, for a total of AUD 600.
