Bonus Audit
Sometimes, but the advertised percentage can't tell you. Wagering rules, game contribution, bet limits and cashout caps decide what a bonus really asks of you. The BonusEdge Bonus Audit takes the offer and playing setup you enter, simulates thousands of sessions, and shows what completing the bonus would take and how often those sessions lose the balance. It estimates risk. It doesn't promise profit.
Registration is required before an audit runs. BonusEdge is independent: it isn't a casino, doesn't accept wagers and doesn't recommend casinos.
The short answer
“100% up to $100” tells you how much bonus you can receive. It doesn't tell you how much you must wager, which games count, how much you can bet meanwhile, or how much you can withdraw.
Those terms change the arithmetic. Wagering may apply to the bonus, the deposit, or both. Game contribution decides how much of each wager counts, so a game that counts 50% doubles the play required. A maximum bet or cashout cap can limit what a good run is worth. Two offers with the same headline can ask for very different amounts of play.
Type in the deposit, bonus, wagering multiplier and what it applies to, game contribution, bonus type and any maximum cashout. Or use the optional terms scanner: paste the offer text and, where available, additional bonus and casino terms, or select a casino from BonusEdge's data. The scanner proposes values. You review and correct them before applying them.
Select a game or enter its RTP and volatility yourself. A generic game profile is also available. Then set your bet size. The Audit evaluates the setup you enter. It doesn't search for a better deposit or stake.
BonusEdge simulates your entered setup many times. You get a decision and risk summary, the core results below, and a "What Could Cost You Money" section that highlights relevant issues. Detailed results add further simulation measures.
The average and the typical result can tell different stories. A few very large outcomes can lift the average above zero even when most attempts lose money. Likewise, the chance of losing your balance and the chance of profit answer different questions: one is about running out, the other about finishing ahead of your deposit. Read them together.
A simple wagering example
This is a hypothetical: a $100 deposit, a $100 bonus, 40× wagering on deposit plus bonus, and 70% game contribution. The arithmetic below shows how much would need to be staked to complete that wagering requirement. It does not mean the player will have enough balance to do so. It isn't a simulated result, a typical outcome or a profit prediction. The Audit models the game assumptions, bet size and the possibility of losing the balance before cashing out.
The Audit models what you enter, so the result is only as good as the inputs.
Rules you supply:
What BonusEdge can't independently verify: unpublished restrictions, a casino's current game version or exact payout pattern, whether a withdrawal will be approved or paid, and the next outcome. Check the actual offer, game rules and your eligibility before relying on an estimate.
The Audit examines one setup you enter. The separate Deposit Optimizer compares eligible deposit and starting-stake combinations and presents three decision views. An audit never launches an Optimizer run on its own. A saved analysis can prefill supported Optimizer fields, which you can review and edit.
An account is required before an audit runs. Limits depend on your plan:

Frequently asked questions
It depends on the terms and the setup you plan to play; no audit can tell you with certainty what will happen. An offer can look generous and still demand heavy play, restrict your bet size or cap your withdrawal. The Audit shows the required play, modeled outcomes and chance of losing your balance so you can weigh the trade-off. Gambling can lose your full deposit.
Either, or both. With a $100 deposit and $100 bonus, 40× on the bonus alone is $4,000 of nominal wagering, while 40× on deposit plus bonus is $8,000. Enter the basis exactly as the terms state it. If the terms are unclear, the audit flags it.
Only as much as the terms say. Contribution is the percentage of each wager that counts. At 50%, you would need to stake twice the wagering amount. Enter the contribution from the offer's terms. BonusEdge can't confirm eligibility beyond what you supply.
No. The average blends every simulated outcome, and a few large wins can raise it while most attempts lose. Chance of Profit shows how often attempts end ahead of your deposit, and Chance of losing your balance shows how often they run out. Neither a positive average nor a favorable decision label guarantees a profit.
RTP is a game's long-run average return. Volatility describes how widely results swing around it. The simulation uses both, together with your bonus rules and bet size. The figures are assumptions, and the casino's current game version may differ.
No. The optional scanner reads the offer text you provide and proposes values for you to review. It doesn't verify them against the casino or track every casino's current terms. Correct anything that's wrong, and confirm details on the official offer pages.
A cap limits how much of a winning balance you can withdraw, which reduces the value of the best outcomes. The Audit includes a cap when you enter one. Check how your terms define what the cap applies to.
Yes. Registration comes before an audit runs, and your plan sets your limits for runs, simulated sessions, scans and saved audits. See Pricing for details.
No. BonusEdge can't confirm whether a casino will approve or pay a withdrawal, or what the next outcome will be. Results are estimates of possible outcomes under the inputs you entered.
The Audit evaluates the deposit, bonus, game and bet size you enter. The Deposit Optimizer compares eligible deposit and starting-stake combinations and presents three decision views. They are separate tools, and neither runs automatically after the other.
