Understanding Our Wagering Requirements
Buenas wagering requirements decide how any bonus credit or free spin win moves from a promotional balance into money you can withdraw. This page explains, in plain terms and for an AU audience, how our wagering requirements are structured, why rollover exists, and what to check before you opt into an offer. We keep this explanation general and educational, because the exact figures attached to any specific promotion live on the offer itself, not on this page.
If a number, percentage or expiry date matters to your decision, treat the terms shown at the time you claim an offer as the only accurate source. Our bonus terms are written out in full wherever a promotion is presented, and we always recommend reading them before you deposit or opt in, rather than relying on a summary written elsewhere on the site.
What "wagering requirements" actually means
A wagering requirement, sometimes called a rollover, is the number of times a bonus amount (or the winnings it generates) must be played through before it can be withdrawn. It exists across the industry as the mechanism that separates a promotional credit from cash sitting in your real balance. Without it, a bonus could be claimed and cashed out immediately, which is not how any operator structures a promotional offer.
In practice, a wagering requirement is expressed as a multiplier attached to a bonus or to free spin winnings, and it is paired with a list of eligible games and a time limit. All three of those elements matter equally: the multiplier tells you how much turnover is needed, the game list tells you where that turnover counts, and the time limit tells you how long you have to complete it. Our own bonus terms, shown alongside each promotion, spell out all three for that specific offer.
Why rollover figures are not listed here
We deliberately keep this page free of specific rollover multipliers, minimum odds or bonus amounts, because those details change from one promotion to the next and can be updated over time. Stating a fixed figure here would risk giving you outdated information at the exact moment you are trying to make a decision. Instead, we point you to the terms attached to the promotion itself, which is where the current figure always lives.
You can see the full range of current offers, including their individual bonus terms, on our promotions page, and a broader explanation of how different offer types are structured on our bonus types page. Reading both before you opt in is the surest way to understand what a given rollover will actually ask of you.
Key terms worth knowing
A handful of terms appear in almost every set of bonus terms, and knowing them makes the rest of this page, and any offer you read, easier to follow.
- Wagering requirement / rollover — the multiplier applied to a bonus or its winnings before withdrawal becomes possible.
- Eligible games — the games whose stakes count toward the rollover, and the rate at which each one contributes.
- Bonus validity — the window of time within which the wagering requirement must be completed.
- Maximum bet while wagering — a cap some offers place on stake size during the rollover period, to prevent the requirement being cleared in one large wager.
How free spins fit into the picture
Free spins are usually attached to a specific slot or group of slots and generate winnings in bonus form, which then carry their own wagering requirement before they convert to withdrawable funds. This is a standard structure across the market: the spins themselves are free to use, but the money they produce is not automatically yours to withdraw until the rollover on it is cleared. The exact games, spin count and any cap on winnings from free spins sit inside that offer's own terms.
Because free spin structures vary by promotion, we do not list amounts or eligible titles on this page. Checking the terms shown with the specific offer, before you opt in, tells you exactly which games the spins apply to and what happens to the winnings afterwards.
Which games count toward the rollover
Not every game contributes to a wagering requirement at the same rate, and some game types are commonly excluded altogether. Slots typically contribute the most toward clearing a rollover, while table games and live dealer formats often contribute at a reduced rate or not at all, depending on the offer. This weighting exists because different games carry different levels of built-in advantage for the player, and operators structure contribution rates to reflect that.
The practical takeaway is simple: always check the eligible games list attached to a specific bonus before you assume a session on any particular title is moving you toward clearing it. Our own bonus terms set this out for each promotion individually.
See how our bonus types differStaying within the terms
Wagering requirements sit inside a broader set of bonus terms that also cover eligibility, maximum bet limits and expiry. Missing any one of these can affect whether winnings are payable, so it helps to treat the terms as a single document rather than reading the headline rollover figure in isolation. This is also why Buenas bonus terms and Buenas rollover conditions are presented together on each offer, rather than the rollover being listed on its own.
If you are unsure whether a session, a deposit method or a game qualifies under a current promotion, the safest step is to check the terms on the offer page itself before you commit funds. General guidance on this page cannot substitute for the specific conditions attached to whichever promotion you are considering.
Where to check current details
Because bonus structures change and this page is intentionally kept general, the most accurate source for any live offer's wagering requirement is the offer itself. Our promotions page lists what is currently available, and our FAQ page covers broader account and site questions if wagering is not the only thing you need answered. For anything involving deposits tied to a bonus, our payment methods page explains how funding an account works on our site.
Frequently asked questions
These questions cover what visitors most often want to know about how wagering requirements work on our site.
What are free spins at Buenas?
Free spins are rounds credited on selected slots as part of a promotion, and any winnings they produce are usually paid as bonus funds subject to their own wagering requirement. The specific games, spin count and any winnings cap are set out in the terms of the individual offer, which is where we recommend checking before you opt in.
How do wagering requirements (rollover) work?
A wagering requirement multiplies a bonus amount to set a turnover target that must be reached before related winnings can be withdrawn. It works alongside an eligible games list and a validity window, both of which are stated in that offer's own bonus terms rather than on this general page.
How long do bonuses stay valid before they expire?
Every promotion carries its own validity period during which the wagering requirement must be completed, after which any unused bonus or unmet requirement is typically forfeited. That period is shown with the offer itself, since it can differ from one promotion to the next.
Which games count toward clearing the rollover?
Contribution varies by game type, with slots generally counting at a higher rate than table games or live dealer formats, and some titles excluded entirely under certain offers. The eligible games list attached to each promotion sets out exactly which titles count and at what rate.
