There’s a precise meaning behind Game weighting, and it’s the loose, imprecise version that drives most of the confusion.

Turnover defines how a wagering requirement is measured, but the contribution rate of each staked peso is not always the same. Assigning separate contribution rates to slots, table games, live dealer and other categories is common practice for operators, given how house edge and short-run predictability vary between them. Each game type carries a percentage in the terms, representing the rate the operator has fixed for that category in that promotion.
The common misreading
It seems straightforward, though it isn’t, that ₱100 staked always reduces a wagering requirement by ₱100, regardless of the game it was placed on. One condition makes that true: a contribution rate of 100%. Barely moving the requirement, or not moving it at all, is possible through extensive play on a game contributing at 0% or a lower rate — a fact disclosed only in the weighting table.
The requirement to clear a multiple is the wagering requirement, while game weighting only describes the rate at which different games contribute toward that multiple. A cap on stake size is what a maximum bet rule imposes, not a rate of contribution, which makes it a separate matter from this.
A worked example
As a purely hypothetical illustration and not a real rate: a promotion might set slot contribution at 100% and table-game contribution at 10%, so ₱100 wagered on a slot satisfies ₱100 of the requirement while the same stake on a table game satisfies only ₱10. Rather than any fixed industry figure, a real promotion’s own terms are what state which category earns which rate, so never assume it matches another operator’s offer.
Using it in practice
Before picking games for a bonus, look through the weighting table in that particular promotion’s terms. A favourite table or live-dealer game contributing at far less than the assumed rate can quietly stretch out the turnover actually required. Pairing it with what wagering requirement means and what max bet rule means makes it stick better, since the same pages usually bring up all three together.
Game weighting and terms like it recur across the game pages here, and when a studio leaves a figure unpublished, the relevant page says so rather than pulling a number from a comparison site. This explains why a few of the spec tables on this page are incomplete.

FAQ
What's the smart way to factor Game weighting into picking a game?
Before picking games for a bonus, look through the weighting table in that particular promotion's terms. A favourite table or live-dealer game contributing at far less than the assumed rate can quietly stretch out the turnover actually required.
Where does most of the confusion about Game weighting usually start?
It seems straightforward, though it isn't, that ₱100 staked always reduces a wagering requirement by ₱100, regardless of the game it was placed on. One condition makes that true: a contribution rate of 100%. Barely moving the requirement, or not moving it at all, is possible through extensive play on a game contributing at 0% or a lower rate — a fact disclosed only in the weighting table.
Can a casino actually modify Game weighting on its own?
Not on this site's evidence. A game weighting figure fixed by the game's own math is the studio's call rather than the operator's, and no outside source can confirm one the studio chooses not to publish.
