A 10x, 20x, or 30x wagering requirement is a multiplier applied to a bonus, or sometimes to a deposit plus bonus, and it determines exactly how much you need to bet before that money becomes withdrawable. A 10x requirement on a A$100 bonus means wagering A$1,000 in total, a 30x requirement on that same bonus means A$3,000, three times the turnover for the identical starting bonus. Which base the multiplier applies to, bonus only or deposit plus bonus, changes the real number more than the multiplier itself does. This guide breaks down what each multiplier actually requires, using real numbers side by side.
What a Wagering Multiplier Actually Means
The number before the “x” is a simple multiplier: how many times a specific amount needs to be wagered before it’s withdrawable. A 10x requirement means ten times that amount in total bets. The part that trips people up isn’t the multiplier itself, it’s figuring out which amount the multiplier actually applies to. Full wagering rules for any current offer are always listed in LEON’s Terms and Conditions.
The Multiplier Applies to Different Bases, Not Always Just the Bonus
Four structures show up in practice:
| Multiplier Type | What Gets Multiplied | Example (A$100 bonus, A$100 deposit, 10x) |
| Bonus Amount x N | The bonus only | A$1,000 wagering required |
| Deposit + Bonus Amount x N | Deposit and bonus combined | A$2,000 wagering required |
| Deposit Amount x N | The deposit only | A$1,000 wagering required |
| Winnings x N | Winnings from free spins | Varies by spin value credited |
Two offers advertising the identical “10x” can require completely different totals depending on which of these applies. Always check which base the multiplier uses before comparing offers on the number alone.
10x vs 20x vs 30x: The Real Numbers Side by Side
Using a A$100 bonus (bonus-only multiplier) as the constant:
| Multiplier | Wagering Required |
| 10x | A$1,000 |
| 20x | A$2,000 |
| 30x | A$3,000 |
Using a A$100 deposit plus A$100 bonus (deposit + bonus multiplier, A$200 base) instead:
| Multiplier | Wagering Required |
| 10x | A$2,000 |
| 20x | A$4,000 |
| 30x | A$6,000 |
The multiplier number alone doesn’t tell you the real total, the base it’s applied to can double the number on its own, before the multiplier even changes.
Why Two Bonuses With the Same Multiplier Can Still Cost Different Amounts
Not every game contributes equally toward clearing the total. At LEON Casino, slots, other games, and jackpots count 100% toward wagering, live casino counts 10%, and video poker counts 5%. A handful of specific titles carry their own contribution rates entirely, always worth checking against the current terms before assuming a favorite game counts in full. Clearing the same “10x” requirement can take ten times longer in a game that only contributes 10%.
What Else Affects the Real Total
Two more details change how a multiplier plays out in practice: at LEON Casino, the maximum bet while a bonus is active is A$7 per bet unless a specific campaign states otherwise, and a fully wagered bonus not claimed within 30 days is written off. Clearing the multiplier and claiming the funds are two separate steps. Current welcome offers with their specific multiplier types are listed on LEON’s Promotions page.

FAQ
What does a 10x wagering requirement actually mean?
It means wagering ten times a specific amount, usually the bonus, sometimes the deposit plus bonus, before that money becomes withdrawable. Which base applies changes the real total significantly.
Is a 20x wagering requirement always worse than a 10x one?
Not necessarily. A 20x requirement on the bonus alone can require less total wagering than a 10x requirement applied to deposit plus bonus combined. The base matters as much as the multiplier.
Do all games count the same toward a wagering requirement?
No. At LEON Casino, slots, other games, and jackpots count 100%, live casino counts 10%, and video poker counts 5%.
Is there a maximum bet while a wagering requirement is active?
Yes, at LEON Casino it’s A$7 per bet unless a specific campaign states a different limit.
What happens if I clear the wagering requirement but don’t claim the bonus?
At LEON Casino, a fully wagered bonus not claimed within 30 days is written off, unless the campaign states otherwise.
Can I run two bonuses with separate wagering requirements at once?
No, most operators, including LEON Casino, allow only one active bonus campaign per account at a time.
