Jolibet Game weighting Explained — Why Not All Turnover Counts the Same
Game weighting (also called contribution rate): This is the rate deciding how far wagers on a particular game go toward a wagering requirement.

| Term | Game weighting |
| Short for | also called contribution rate |
| Set by | The operator, per promotion, per game category |
| Where you meet it | A table in the bonus terms and conditions, listing each game category alongside its rate |
| Not the same as | Weighting is the rate different games count toward the requirement, whereas the requirement itself is simply the multiple to be cleared — the two aren't the same thing. Don't confuse this with a maximum bet rule, since that limits how large a stake can be rather than describing a contribution rate. |
Almost every casino page mentions Game weighting, but almost none explains what it means.

While turnover is what a wagering requirement is measured in, not all staked pesos contribute to it equally. Slots, table games, live dealer and other categories often carry their own distinct contribution rates, a practice operators use since these categories differ in house edge and how predictable short-run results are. Each category’s rate is decided by the operator per promotion, and the terms display it as a percentage beside the relevant game type.
Using it in practice
Before you pick games to count toward a bonus, look at the weighting table in that promotion’s own terms. Assumed contribution rates can be well above what a favourite table or live-dealer game actually contributes, silently pushing the required turnover higher. Pages usually mention wagering requirement and what max bet rule means together, which makes the two easier to remember as a pair.
Game pages on this site use terms like Game weighting, and when the studio doesn’t publish the figure behind one, they state that instead of quoting a comparison site’s number. Some spec tables on this page stay blank because of that.
A worked example
This is a hypothetical example illustrating the mechanism, not a genuine rate: suppose a promotion assigns 100% contribution to slots and 10% to table games — then ₱100 put into a slot counts as ₱100 toward the requirement, whereas the same ₱100 in a table game counts as just ₱10. The rate assigned to each category is written into that specific promotion’s terms rather than set by any fixed industry standard, and it should never be guessed from what another operator offers.
The common misreading
A common assumption is that any ₱100 wagered clears ₱100 of the requirement, regardless of which game it went on. This applies solely to games contributing 100%. Beyond the weighting table itself, there’s no warning that a game contributing at 0% or a lower rate can be played extensively while the requirement barely budges, or doesn’t budge at all.
