How to choose games while you clear 15x
Stick to games you understand and a stake your balance can take. Beyond that, it comes down to tracking your progress and knowing when you're done for the day.

Work out your betting target first
Your target is what shapes every other choice, so find it before you open a game. Add your deposit to your bonus and times the result by 15. Under the bonus terms, that target can be met on casino games or in raked hands. A raked hand is a card hand where the house keeps a small share of the pot.
Take a R500 deposit. The match brings your balance to R1,000, which sets a target of R15,000. Here's how many bets that takes at four stake sizes:
| Stake | Bets needed |
|---|---|
| R2 | 7,500 |
| R5 | 3,000 |
| R10 | 1,500 |
| R20 | 750 |
A bigger stake needs fewer bets, but a bad patch can wipe out your balance in minutes. A smaller stake takes much longer and goes easier on your balance. No stake is the right one for everybody, so choose one where a few losses in a row won't rattle you.
It's worth being blunt about the odds, too. The house has an edge on casino games, and it keeps working on every bet you place. Lots of bonus runs fall short of the target, and no game choice or betting pattern can change that.
Six tips for clearing your wagering
You won't find a winning trick here. These just keep you in charge of your time and money.
Think about volatility
On some games, wins are rare and large, and your balance can drop fast between them. On others, wins are small and frequent. Pick the pattern that suits you.
Hold your stake level
Choose a stake and leave it alone. Pushing it up after a losing run is how most sessions end early.
Track your progress
Jot down your total bets as you go. When you can see how far you've got, it's easier to decide whether carrying on still makes sense.
Confirm a game counts
If you're not sure a game goes towards the 15x, look it up in the casino's bonus terms before you stake on it.
Decide your limits today
Choose a time limit and a money limit before each session. Stop when you reach either one, however near the target you are.
Habits to avoid while wagering
- Doubling up. Raising your bet after every loss can't beat the odds. All it does is grow what you've got at risk.
- Believing a game is due. A long dry spell doesn't mean a win's coming. The next spin or hand doesn't know about the last one.
- Late-night sessions. When you're worn out, you tend to bet more and think less. Log off and come back if you want to.
