What is a "wager requirements"

A wager requirement is a restriction that an online casino puts on their bonuses to stop players abusing the bonus. A player must play a certain amount of bets/ hands before they are able to cashout the bonus. But it's not all. You must remember that wager requirements are applied not only to bonus you received but to money you deposit (your money!) too! The amount that must be wagered is usually between 10-50 times the initial deposit (plus the bonus). For the welcome bonus the wager requirement is usually big as big is the percent bonus you received (by exemple if you received 100% bonus maybe the wager requirements are 10x bonus+deposit, but if you received 1000% bonus maybe wager requirements are are 40x bonus+deposit).
For example, if you deposit $200 and get a match bonus of 100% and the wager requirements are 15X. You would need to wager a total of $6000 before you may cash out your winnings. Always read the terms and conditions!
