Here is a typical example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Deposit:<\/strong> \u20ac100<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bonus:<\/strong> 100% up to \u20ac200 (so you get \u20ac100)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wagering requirement:<\/strong> 35x (deposit + bonus)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Allowed games:<\/strong> slots with 96% RTP<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Total wagering required = (\u20ac100 + \u20ac100) \u00d7 35 = \u20ac7,000.<br \/>Expected loss during wagering = \u20ac7,000 \u00d7 (1 \u2013 0.96) = \u20ac280.<br \/>Expected value = bonus (\u20ac100) \u2013 expected loss (\u20ac280) = \u2013\u20ac180.<\/p>\n<p>This bonus has negative expected value. Only take it if you plan to play anyway.
