PH90 Game weighting Explained — Why Not All Turnover Counts the Same

Every casino page seems to use Game weighting, and hardly any of them explains it.

Game weighting (also called contribution rate) — How fast wagers on a particular game move a wagering requirement toward being cleared.

What Game weighting actually means

Field	Value
Term	Game weighting
Written out	also called contribution rate
In one line	How fast wagers on a particular game move a wagering requirement toward being cleared.
Fixed by	The operator, per promotion, per game category
Where you meet it	Bonus terms and conditions, generally set out as a table of game categories against rates

Turnover is the unit a wagering requirement is counted in, yet pesos staked do not all count at the same rate. Contribution rates by game category are the norm among operators — slots, table games, live dealer and the rest may each count differently — because house edge varies between them, as does how predictable a short run of outcomes is. Each promotion carries its own rates, decided by the operator, and the terms print a percentage beside every game type.

Using it in practice

Read the weighting table in that particular promotion’s terms before deciding which games to put toward a bonus. Contribution from a favourite table or live-dealer game can run far below what a player assumes, quietly pushing the necessary turnover up. Reading it beside the wagering requirement entry and what max bet rule means makes it stick, since the same pages usually raise all three together.

Game weighting and terms like it appear throughout the game pages here, and where a studio has not published the figure behind one, those pages say as much rather than lifting a number off a comparison site. Blanks in several of the spec tables here follow from that.

The common misreading

The natural assumption is that ₱100 wagered always knocks ₱100 off a wagering requirement whatever it went on. Games contributing at 100% are the only ones where that holds. Play can run on for hours on a game weighted lower, or at 0%, and the requirement barely shifts or does not shift at all, with nothing to signal it except the weighting table.

Weighting and the wagering requirement are separate things — the requirement names the multiple to clear, while the weighting decides how fast each game counts toward it. A maximum bet rule is a different instrument again, capping the size of a stake instead of setting a rate of contribution.

A worked example

Consider a hypothetical rather than a real rate, purely to show the mechanism: with slots at 100% and table games at 10%, ₱100 on a slot removes ₱100 from the requirement while ₱100 on a table game removes ₱10. In a real promotion the terms name which categories take which rate; no industry figure is fixed, and carrying an assumption over from another operator’s offer is a mistake.
