What a wagering requirement actually is
A wagering requirement is the total amount of bets a casino requires before bonus-related funds can be withdrawn. It is always expressed as a multiplier, but the multiplier alone says very little: 30× applied to the bonus only and 30× applied to deposit plus bonus are two very different obligations. The first field to check in any set of terms is not the number - it is what the number applies to.
Reading the terms into the calculator
The tool mirrors the structure of real bonus terms, so each field maps to a clause. The multiplier and its base ("Bonus only" versus "Deposit + Bonus") come first. Game contribution is the second lever: when table games count 10%, every euro staked on them advances the requirement by ten cents, which multiplies the real turnover by ten. The withdrawal-side clauses follow: whether the bonus is cashable or removed at withdrawal (sticky), any maximum cashout - stated as a fixed amount, a multiple of the deposit, or a multiple of the bonus - and any maximum bet allowed while wagering.
A worked example
Take a common structure: 100% match up to €100, deposit of €100, 30× wagering on deposit plus bonus. The bonus credited is €100, the wagering base is €200, and the required turnover is €6,000 on slots at full contribution. Move the same requirement to a table game counting 10% and the real stake volume becomes €60,000. Neither figure appears anywhere in the promotional copy; both follow directly from two lines of the terms.
The clauses that void winnings
Most confiscated withdrawals trace back to three clauses, all of them checkable before playing. A maximum bet rule (commonly €5 per spin while wagering) voids the bonus on a single oversized stake. A maximum cashout caps what any win can pay - a €100 ceiling under a €6,000 turnover obligation changes the economics of the offer entirely, and the calculator flags exactly that ratio. An expiry window turns the requirement into a daily pace: €6,000 in seven days means €857 per day, every day. If the pace is not realistic for the bankroll, the conclusion comes before the deposit, not after it.
Tracking progress
The "wagered so far" field converts total bets on the selected game into counted turnover, and saved bonuses are stored only in the browser - nothing is sent to a server. Figures shown in the casino cashier remain authoritative: the calculator models the arithmetic of the published terms, and the current terms and conditions of the casino always prevail.
Deadline reminders on Telegram
Once the "days left" field is filled in, the reminder button activates. It opens the FreeExtraChips bot (@fecbonusbot) on Telegram, and a single tap on Start schedules a message roughly 48 hours before the declared deadline - the last point where a daily pace can realistically be corrected rather than merely observed. If the deadline is already closer than that, the reminder arrives within the hour instead. Setting a new reminder for the same bonus replaces the previous one, and blocking the bot cancels everything. What gets stored is the chat, the bonus reference and the date: no name, no email, no tracking beyond that.
