On Dexsport there are two separate wagering rules, and mixing them up is the most common reason a withdrawal does not go through. One rule applies to every deposit, with or without a bonus, and it depends on where you play: sports, the casino or the Prediction Market. The other applies only to bonus money: the cash bonus from the Welcome Bonus, the cash that free spins pay out, and casino cash from VIP Club. ## Every deposit has to be wagered, bonus or no bonus Even if you take no bonus at all, a deposit has to be played through before the money becomes withdrawable. How that works depends on where you play. | Where you play | Requirement | How it counts | | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ | | Sports and esports | odds of **1.3** or higher | each settled bet frees its own winnings | | Casino: slots | **x1** | each bet counts in full: $100 of bets covers a $100 deposit | | Casino: live casino and other games | **x2** | each bet counts for half: $200 of bets covers a $100 deposit | | Prediction Market | **x1** | winnings are withdrawable as soon as the market resolves | Cash Out exists on sports bets only, and a bet closed that way does not count towards wagering. ### You do not have to wager the balance in one bet In sports the rule works bet by bet, not as one counter you have to fill before anything is released. Every settled bet at odds of 1.3 or higher frees its own winnings, and the rest of the deposit stays as it was. So with $100 on the balance you have a choice. Stake $10 at odds of 1.5, win, and the $15 payout is withdrawable while the other $90 still has to be played through. Stake the whole $100 at once and, if it wins, the entire payout becomes withdrawable in one go. Money won at odds below 1.3, and stakes returned from void bets, is not withdrawable yet. It sits on the non-withdrawable part of your balance until it is wagered. Example. You deposit $200 and take no bonus. On slots you need $200 of bets in total, in live casino and other games $400, in one session or across many, and after that what is left on the balance is withdrawable. In sports, you stake $200 on a selection at odds of 1.5. When the bet is settled, the payout is withdrawable. Had you staked it at odds of 1.2, the payout would have stayed non-withdrawable and would need wagering. If you close that sports bet through Cash Out, it does not count and the deposit stays unwagered. ## Bonus money is wagered separately Bonus money does not land on your main balance: it sits on a **separate bonus balance** and has its own wagering requirement. Only when that requirement is complete does the money move to your real balance and become withdrawable. | Bonus | Where it comes from | Wagering | | ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------- | | Cash bonus and cash from free spins | Casino Welcome Bonus, free spins | **x40** | | Casino cash | VIP Club reward | **x20** | | Freebets | Sports Welcome Bonus, Sport Club, VIP Club | no bonus balance, winnings are withdrawable straight away | | Weekly cashback | cashback | no wagering, withdrawable as soon as it is paid | For the Casino Welcome Bonus the wagering has to be finished within **7 days**, your bets are capped at **$100** each while it runs, and at most **$50** can be withdrawn from free spin winnings. While a casino bonus is active, a slot plays from your real balance first. Casino bonus money can only be played on slots, and not on every slot; it does not work in live casino. The x40 does not depend on the game. Freebets are a different thing and none of this applies to them. A freebet does not go through the bonus balance, so what it wins lands on your balance under the ordinary deposit rules. A welcome freebet requires odds above 1.3 anyway, so its winnings are withdrawable straight away. Example. Your free spins pay out a cash bonus of $20 on the bonus balance. At x40 you need to place $800 in casino bets in total before that $20 moves to your real, withdrawable balance. The same x40 applies to the Casino Welcome Bonus (480% up to $10,000 and 300 free spins). ## Where to check what is left Open **My Bonuses** in your profile. It shows your active bonuses, your free spins, and how much wagering is still outstanding. ## Short version * Sports and esports: odds of 1.3 or higher, and each settled bet frees its own winnings. * Casino slots: x1, each bet counts in full. * Live casino and other casino games: x2, each bet counts for half. * Prediction Market: x1, winnings are withdrawable as soon as the market resolves. * Bets closed through Cash Out do not count. * Cash bonus from the Welcome Bonus or from free spins: x40, on a separate balance. * Casino cash from VIP Club: x20. * Freebet winnings: withdrawable straight away. * Weekly cashback: no wagering at all, withdrawable as soon as it is paid. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://dexsport-3.gitbook.io/dexsport-docs/bonuses-and-programs/wagering-explained.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
