Wagering Requirements Explained

Rollover is the single most important number on any sportsbook bonus. Here's how to read it, math it, and use it to pick offers that actually pay.

How We Review Sportsbooks

Reviews are produced by the Reviewing Sportsbooks Editorial Desk at The Fantasy Prophecy LLC. We do not invent named reviewer personas. Scoring inputs are payout (40%), bonus (25%), markets (20%) and trust (15%). A book with n=1 can show a test result but cannot receive a published overall score or a scored #1.

Payout — 40%

Instrumented withdrawals only. Elapsed hours are computed from request time to arrival and published in the payout log. Operator-reported windows never count as a test.

Bonus — 25%

Usable value after rollover, contribution rules, minimum odds and maximum cashout — not the headline number. When terms cannot be priced, we say so.

Markets — 20%

Only market depth we have verified ourselves: leagues, props, live coverage and alternate lines.

Trust — 15%

Active public licensing, payout history, unresolved complaints and account-limiting behaviour.

Rankings are never sold. Commercial terms never change a score or a position, and any order shown before all four inputs are measured is editorial, not a scored ranking.

What Rollover Actually Means

Rollover is how many times you must wager an amount before you can withdraw bonus-related funds. It applies to either the bonus alone (bonus-only rollover) or bonus + deposit (D+B rollover). D+B is roughly 2x more expensive.

The Formula

Total wagering = (bonus × rollover) for bonus-only, or (deposit + bonus) × rollover for D+B. A $500 bonus at 5x bonus-only = $2,500 in bets. Same bonus with $500 deposit at 5x D+B = $5,000 in bets.

Minimum Odds

Most sportsbooks only count bets at 1.50+ (decimal) or -200+ (American). Bets outside that range don't reduce your rollover — a common trap.

What's Clearable?

Assume a 2–3% average hold on your bets. To clear a $2,500 rollover you'll typically lose $50–$75. If the bonus is worth more than that, you're ahead. If not, skip.

Expiration

Bonuses expire — usually 7 to 30 days. Divide your rollover by days remaining to see if the pace is realistic for your bankroll.
