Game weighting and the wagering requirement are different things: the requirement is the multiple to be cleared, and weighting is the rate at which different games count toward it. Nor is it the same as a maximum bet rule, which caps the size of a stake and says nothing about a contribution rate.

Of the terms found on every casino page, Game weighting is one that nearly all of them leave unexplained.

Turnover is how a wagering requirement is measured, yet each peso staked counts toward it at a different rate depending on the game. Different game categories usually get different contribution rates from operators, so slots, table games, live dealer and others may each count differently, since they vary in house edge and in how predictable short-run outcomes are. For each promotion the operator decides the rate that applies to every category, and the terms list it as a percentage beside each game type.

Using it in practice

Read the weighting table in a specific promotion’s terms before you pick the games to play toward its bonus. When people lean on a favourite table or live-dealer game, a contribution far below what they assumed can silently add to the turnover actually needed. Most rulebooks print what max bet rule means right beside it, and checking against that is the fastest fix.

Game weighting and terms of its kind appear throughout this site’s game pages, and if a studio keeps the figure behind one unpublished, the page states as much and leaves out any number taken from a comparison site. This accounts for why you will find empty entries across a few spec tables here.

The common misreading

People tend to assume that wagering ₱100 always clears ₱100 of a wagering requirement, whatever the wager was placed on. Only for games contributing at 100% does that hold. With a game that contributes at a lower rate, or at 0%, a player can spend a long time on it while the requirement barely moves or does not move at all, and only the weighting table gives any warning.

A worked example

As a hypothetical illustration of the mechanism, not a real rate, suppose a promotion states slots contribute 100% and table games contribute 10%: ₱100 wagered on a slot clears ₱100 of the requirement, but ₱100 on a table game clears only ₱10. In any real promotion, the promotion’s own terms say which categories get which rate, so no fixed industry figure exists and nothing should be assumed from another operator’s offer.

What does Game weighting mean?

What fraction of a stake on a given game is credited toward clearing a wagering requirement.

Is changing Game weighting within a casino's hands?

Not on this site's evidence. A value behind game weighting that is set by the game's own mathematics is the studio's and not the operator's, and if the studio leaves it unpublished, no outside source is able to confirm it either.
