7SPIN Game weighting Explained — Why Not All Turnover Counts the Same
Game weighting (also called contribution rate): This is the figure that governs a given game's contribution rate toward clearing a wagering requirement.

Casino pages all carry the term Game weighting, and almost none of them explain what it means.

Measured in turnover, a wagering requirement does not treat every staked peso as counting at an equal rate. Operators routinely vary contribution rates between slots, table games, live dealer and other categories, since house edge and the predictability of short-run outcomes aren’t uniform across them. A percentage beside each game type in the terms reflects the category rate that promotion’s operator has set.
Using it in practice
That promotion’s terms hold a weighting table worth checking before choosing which games to play toward the bonus. Contribution rates on a favourite table or live-dealer game can sit well below what’s assumed, silently extending the turnover actually needed. The quickest way to fix it is against wagering requirement explained and what max bet rule means, which appear beside it in most rulebooks.
This site’s game pages return often to terms like Game weighting, and where the studio’s figure behind one goes unpublished, that gap gets noted rather than filled with a comparison site’s number. This page ends up with incomplete spec tables in places, driven by that same cause.
A worked example
Suppose, hypothetically and not as an actual rate, a promotion gives slots 100% contribution and table games 10%; ₱100 staked on a slot then clears the entire ₱100 requirement, but ₱100 staked on a table game clears only ₱10 of it. It’s a promotion’s own terms, not some fixed industry figure, that state which category gets which rate — assuming otherwise from another operator’s offer is unsafe.
The common misreading
Assuming ₱100 wagered always knocks precisely ₱100 off a wagering requirement, whatever game it was staked on, comes easily but isn’t right. Games contributing at 100% are the only case where that holds true. Extensive play is possible on a game rated 0% or lower without meaningfully advancing the requirement, and nothing outside the weighting table signals this.
The multiple that must be cleared is the wagering requirement itself, separate from game weighting, which is merely the rate games count toward it. Distinct from a maximum bet rule — which limits stake size, not contribution rate — this is something else.
