Gaming: What's a wagering requirement?
Here's a summary of how it works:
When you opt in to a gaming promotion, it's likely that there's a Wagering Requirement that you must meet before being able to withdraw your bonus winnings.
What's a wagering requirement?
A Wagering Requirement requires you to wager a certain amount on the game/s specified within the terms and conditions of the promotion before your Bonus Balance is transferred into your main balance.
The Wagering Requirement amount is dependent on two (2) things:
1. The initial bonus amount.
2. The wagering requirement stated in the terms and conditions of the promotion.
Example: there's a promotion where you receive a £5 bonus but must fulfil a wagering requirement of 10x, you must wager a minimum of £50 within the specified game/s before you can withdraw your £5 bonus.
If you stake £1, this would be deducted from the Wagering Requirement and you would need to stake a further £49 (i.e. £50 – £1 = £49) before you could withdraw any Bonus Funds.
After the Wagering Requirement is met, your bonus winnings will transfer from your Bonus Balance to your main balance.
NOTE: For some promotions, stakes on certain games may only reduce the remaining Wagering Requirement by a certain percentage of the original stake.

With roulette in the above example, you can see the contribution is between 0-50%.
Although this may look confusing, this is all dependant on how much of the table you cover.
Below table lists the changes in stake contribution depending on the table coverage:
| 
			 All Roulette games 
			 | 
			
			 Table Coverage Percent 
			 | 
			
			 Stake Contribution 
			 | 
		
| 
			 Low Table Coverage bet: 
			 | 
			
			 0-25% 
			 | 
			
			 50% 
			 | 
		
| 
			 Medium Table Coverage bet: 
			 | 
			
			 25.1 – 48% 
			 | 
			
			 25% 
			 | 
		
| 
			 High Table Coverage bet: 
			 | 
			
			 48.1 – 100% 
			 | 
			
			 0% 
			 | 
		
What the above means is, if you cover between 1% and 25% of the table (5 straight up numbers for example), then 50% of your stake will contribute to the wagering.
Therefore, for every £1 you stake covering five numbers, 0.50 will contribute towards the wagering, leaving you with £19.50 remaining if you had to wager £20 to begin with.
For medium coverage, which could include for example column bets covering 33% of the board, 25% of the stake will contribute.
Therefore, for every £1 you stake, 0.25 will count towards your wagering. For high table coverage on this promotion, none of your stakes would contribute.
This means your wagering would not lower.
