Game Contribution to Wagering Requirements

Not all games count equally towards meeting wagering requirements. Each operator defines a contribution percentage for each game category. This means if you play a game that contributes less than 100%, you need to bet significantly more to meet the playthrough requirement.

Typical Contribution Percentages

The following are common contribution percentages found at UKGC-licensed operators:

• Slots (excluding progressive jackpots): 100%
• Scratch cards: 100%
• Table games (blackjack, roulette): 10–20%
• Video poker: 10–20%
• Live dealer games: 5–10%
• Progressive jackpot slots: 0–50%
• Poker (casino-based): 0%

Why Contributions Differ

Slots have a high house edge for the operator in the short term but are played very fast, meeting wagering requirements quickly. Table games have a lower house edge and slower play speed. Operators set lower contribution rates to balance risk.
