LARO77 Game weighting Explained — Why Not All Turnover Counts the Same
Game weighting (also called contribution rate): The percentage by which stakes on a particular game are credited toward a wagering requirement.
| Fact | Value |

| Term | Game weighting |
| Short for | also called contribution rate |
| Set by | The operator, per promotion, per game category |
| Where you meet it | Bonus terms and conditions, which normally present the game categories and rates in a table |
| Not the same as | Weighting is not the requirement: the wagering requirement is the multiple to clear, and game weighting is the rate at which different games contribute to it. Do not confuse it with a maximum bet rule; such a rule limits how large a stake can be, not how much of it counts. |
Should you want to properly understand a single term on a casino page, Game weighting is a sensible pick.

The wagering requirement runs on turnover, but the rate at which a staked peso counts toward it varies. House edge and the predictability of short-run outcomes differ between categories, which is why operators commonly assign each of slots, table games, live dealer and others its own contribution rate. A percentage beside each game type in the terms shows the rate that the operator set for that category for the promotion in question.
Using it in practice
Which games count toward a bonus is spelled out in the weighting table of that specific promotion’s terms, so read it before choosing what to play. If a favourite table or live-dealer game contributes at a much lower rate than assumed, the turnover actually needed is silently extended. Most sets of terms put it alongside what wagering requirement means, and it lands more easily when read with them.
Game pages across this site use terms like Game weighting, and when the studio does not publish the figure behind one, the pages say that rather than quoting a number from a comparison site. Blank cells in several of the spec tables below come down to exactly this.
The common misreading
Regardless of the game, it is tempting to think that ₱100 wagered always clears ₱100 of a wagering requirement. That claim stands only for games contributing 100%. Nothing but the weighting table signals that a game contributing at a lower rate, or at 0%, can be played extensively with the requirement barely moving, or not moving at all.
Weighting is not the requirement: the wagering requirement is the multiple to clear, and game weighting is the rate at which different games contribute to it. Do not confuse it with a maximum bet rule; such a rule limits how large a stake can be, not how much of it counts.
A worked example
The mechanism is easiest to see with an invented case rather than a real rate: where slots contribute 100% and table games 10%, a ₱100 slot wager clears ₱100 of the requirement, and ₱100 on a table game clears only ₱10. Because the rate for each category appears in a real promotion’s own terms and is not an industry-wide figure, it should never be inferred from another operator’s offer.

When choosing a game, how much should Game weighting count?
Which games count toward a bonus is spelled out in the weighting table of that specific promotion's terms, so read it before choosing what to play. If a favourite table or live-dealer game contributes at a much lower rate than assumed, the turnover actually needed is silently extended.
Is it within a casino's power to alter Game weighting?
Not on this site's evidence. The value behind game weighting comes from the game's own mathematics when it is set that way, so it sits with the studio and not the operator, and if the studio keeps it unpublished, no outside source can confirm it.
