The most common reason for a withdrawal being blocked is an active wagering requirement. When you accept a bonus in Canada, your funds are usually split into two different “wallets” until specific conditions are met.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cash Balance vs. Bonus Balance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Understanding these two categories is the key to knowing when you can cash out your winnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Balance Type<\/strong><\/td>What it includes<\/strong><\/td>Can I withdraw it?<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead>
Cash Balance<\/strong><\/td>Real-money deposits and cash winnings.<\/td>Yes, usually at any time.<\/td><\/tr>
Bonus Balance<\/strong><\/td>Bonus funds and related winnings.<\/td>No, not until the requirement is met.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> If you have even $1.00 of active bonus money, the system may lock your entire account\u2014including your cash\u2014until the promotion is completed or cancelled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are wagering requirements?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A wagering requirement (or “playthrough”) is the number of times you must bet your bonus money before it turns into real cash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The Formula:<\/strong> Bonus Amount \u00d7 Wagering Multiplier = Total to Bet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Example:<\/strong> A $100 CAD bonus<\/strong> with a 30x requirement<\/strong> means you must place $3,000 CAD<\/strong> in bets before you can withdraw.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Common hurdles to unlocking funds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    If you think you have finished your wagering but are still blocked, check these factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Game Weighting (Casino):<\/strong> Slots usually contribute 100%, but table games like Blackjack may only contribute 10%. A $10 bet on Blackjack might only clear $1 of wagering.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Minimum Odds (Sports):<\/strong> Bets on heavy favourites (e.g., odds of -300 or 1.30) often do not count toward the requirement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Pending Bets:<\/strong> You must wait for all open sports matches to settle before the bonus is considered “finished.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Max Bet Limits:<\/strong> Betting over the allowed limit (often $5 or $10 CAD) may disqualify those wagers from counting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      How to check your progress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Do not guess. You can find the exact status in your mobile account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Open your Account Menu<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Go to “Bonuses”<\/strong> or “Active Promotions.”<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Look for the Progress Bar<\/strong> to see exactly how many dollars are left to wager.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        \u2753<\/span> Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n \n
        \n

        Can I withdraw my deposit if I haven’t used the bonus?<\/h4><\/summary>\n
        \n Yes, but you usually have to forfeit the bonus<\/strong> and any winnings first. Most Canadian platforms<\/strong> lock the entire balance until the wagering requirements<\/strong> are met.\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n\n
        \n

        Why does my wagering progress look stuck?<\/h4><\/summary>\n
        \n Check the game weighting<\/strong>. If you play table games, only 10% or less<\/strong> of your bet may count. Always play 100% weighted slots<\/strong> to clear your requirements much faster.\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n\n
        \n

        What happens if my bonus expires mid-wagering?<\/h4><\/summary>\n
        \n If the time limit<\/strong> expires, the bonus and all associated winnings<\/strong> are removed. You must complete the playthrough<\/strong> within the set window to keep your funds.\n <\/div>\n <\/details>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
