A 40x wagering requirement means you need to place bets equal to 40 times the bonus amount before the funds convert to withdrawable cash. On a €500 bonus (from a €500 first deposit), that's €20,000 in total bets — a figure that sounds large but spreads naturally over extended play time rather than requiring it to be cleared in a single session.
A few things worth knowing before you start:
- The requirement applies to bonus funds only — not to your original deposit. Your deposited real money is available to withdraw at any time once your pending bets are settled.
- Every game counts equally. Drakaris Casino applies wagering contribution uniformly — slots, live games, table games, and crash titles all contribute to the 40x rollover at the same rate. There's no list of "excluded" games to navigate.
- Free spin winnings carry their own wagering. Wins from the 100 or 150 free spins are treated as bonus funds and are subject to the same 40x requirement, with a €150 cap on what can be withdrawn from free spin winnings per stage.
- The 7-day window is per stage, not for the entire package. You have 7 days from when you activate each stage — which means you choose when to trigger each one, and stage two's clock doesn't start until you use code SECOND.
Treat the sign-up bonus as a way to extend your playtime with funded sessions at no extra personal cost, and the 40x requirement becomes a reasonable condition rather than an obstacle. Players who enter the welcome package expecting to immediately convert bonus funds to cash will find the terms frustrating; players who use the package to explore the full game library over their first few weeks of play will find it one of the more rewarding structures in the market.
