JILI7 Game weighting Explained — Why Not All Turnover Counts the Same

Game weighting deserves a proper look if you are going to understand one term on a casino page.

Game weighting (also called contribution rate) — What fraction of the wagers made on a given game is counted against the wagering requirement.

What Game weighting actually means

Counting toward a wagering requirement happens in turnover terms, but the rate is not the same for every staked peso. Contribution is commonly rated differently for slots, table games, live dealer and other categories at operators, because each category has its own house edge and its own short-run predictability. The terms give the rate as a percentage by every game type, and the operator sets those rates for the specific promotion.

The common misreading

A common shortcut is to treat ₱100 wagered as ₱100 cleared against the wagering requirement every time, whatever it was wagered on. That is the case only at a contribution rate of 100%. Where a game’s contribution is lower or 0%, heavy play can leave the requirement almost untouched, or entirely so, with the weighting table as the sole warning.

Different games count toward the multiple at different rates, which is game weighting, and that is not the same as the wagering requirement, the multiple itself. Neither does it mean a maximum bet rule, as such a rule is a ceiling on stakes and not a contribution rate.

Using it in practice

Find the weighting table in the terms for that individual promotion before you settle on which games go toward the bonus. Silently, a favourite table or live-dealer game can count for much less than assumed, so more turnover is actually needed than it seems. Read it together with what wagering requirement means, as the same clause usually covers all of them.

Across the game pages of this site run terms like Game weighting; a page tells you when the studio does not publish the figure behind one, and never substitutes a comparison-site number. This accounts for why a few spec tables here have no figure in certain rows.

A worked example

Consider an imagined promotion, used to show the mechanism and not to quote a real rate, in which slots contribute 100% and table games 10%, so that a ₱100 slot wager clears ₱100 of the requirement and a ₱100 table game wager clears only ₱10. Because the split of categories and rates is stated in the terms of each promotion, and is no fixed industry figure, assuming it from another operator’s offer is a mistake.
