Live casino bonuses: what each type is worth at live tables
A casino bonus is built for the games that count towards its wagering. For live players the question is the weighting: how much of each live bet counts. At 10%, clearing a bonus takes ten times the betting.
The pages below cover each bonus type from a live player's side. The calculator shows what a weighting means for your stake.

Live bonus maths Example data
What a welcome bonus is worth if you only play live
Welcome bonuses can count live bets at a fraction of their value. The rows use example terms: a 100 bonus with 35x wagering on the bonus.
The weighting decides the value more than the bonus size. At a 10% weighting every live bet counts as a tenth of a bet, so you wager ten times as much and the house edge works on all of it.
| Weighting | Live bets needed | Baccarat banker 1.06% | European roulette 2.7% | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100% | $3,500 | +$62.90 | +$5.50 | live bets count in full; on a low-edge bet most of the bonus survives the wagering. |
| 20% | $17,500 | −$85.50 | −$372 | five times the betting of a full-weight bonus; the expected loss passes the bonus even on banker. |
| 10% | $35,000 | −$271 | −$845 | a live rate you may meet in casino terms; the expected loss is several times the bonus. |
| 0% | n/a | cannot clear | cannot clear | live bets do not count at all; clear the bonus on other games or decline it. |
Live bets needed = bonus × wagering ÷ weighting
$100 × 35 ÷ 10% = $35,000
Expected loss = live bets × house edge
$35,000 × 1.06% = $371
Value after losses: −$271

FAQ
Can I use a casino bonus on live games?
Sometimes. Bonus terms set a weighting per game, and live games can count at a low percentage or not at all. Read the weighting table before you accept.
Which bonus type suits live players?
Compare the live-game restrictions of each bonus type before you choose. Welcome bonuses with live weighting under 100% cost more wagering than they look.
Do no-deposit bonuses work on live tables?
Check the terms before you count on it. A no-deposit bonus can exclude live games, and one that allows them may limit the stake and the winnings.
