Worked examples: read the conditions

Compare 35× calculation bases, contribution, maximum stakes and withdrawal conditions using hypothetical figures.

Begin with what a withdrawal term actually applies to, then examine the arithmetic behind an old or unfamiliar promotion. Great Britain and Northern Ireland must be checked separately. The 35× example below is deliberately hypothetical: do not read it as a current permitted British promotion. Use the linked wagering guide to check the current framework before interpreting an offer.

These fictional examples explain mechanics. A 35× multiplier is an arithmetic illustration, not a claim that such terms are lawful, current or available in your edition. No example recommends an offer or predicts a return.

Finishing wagering does not establish a withdrawal amount

Suppose a displayed balance is 120 units and a term lists a 75-unit maximum cashout. Only if that cap applies to the entire displayed balance is the simple cap calculation min(120, 75) = 75 units. If it applies only to bonus-derived winnings, the balance composition is needed and the answer remains unknown. Identity checks, cash balance access, cancellation terms and other restrictions must be read separately. This is not a payout promise.

A maximum stake is a restriction

Suppose the terms state a 5-unit maximum eligible stake. A 6-unit stake exceeds that stated limit by 1 unit. This example cannot determine the consequence: read the actual breach and feature-purchase clauses. A 5-unit stake does not establish eligibility by itself, and the limit is not a suggested stake.

The same 35× headline, two different bases

Assume a 100-unit deposit and a 50-unit bonus. All stakes qualify at 100% and one currency is used throughout.

Bonus only

1,750 units

Deposit + bonus

5,250 units

Qualifying wagering at 35×: including the 100-unit deposit makes the requirement three times the 50-unit bonus-only base. Scale starts at zero; both bars use the same scale. These are cumulative qualifying stakes, not required deposits or predicted losses.

Calculation base changes the requirement
Base	Calculation	Qualifying requirement
Bonus only	50 × 35	1,750 units
Deposit + bonus	(100 + 50) × 35	5,250 units

The second requirement is three times the first. Neither figure is a deposit requirement: turnover counts repeated qualifying stakes.

Contribution changes qualifying progress

Take a 1,750-unit qualifying wagering requirement. A constant 25% contribution gives nominal turnover of 1,750 ÷ 0.25 = 7,000 units. A 10-unit eligible stake contributes 2.50 units of progress. At 0% it contributes nothing; the game is excluded. This arithmetic assumes qualifying play and ignores changing rates or balance rules.
