PH365 Game weighting Explained — Why Not All Turnover Counts the Same
Game weighting (also called contribution rate): The pace at which a specific game's stakes work toward clearing a wagering requirement.

A precise meaning underlies Game weighting, and it’s the loose, common version of that term that generates most of the confusion.

While a wagering requirement is expressed in turnover, staked pesos don’t all contribute toward it at the same rate. Slots, table games, live dealer and other categories often carry distinct contribution rates from operators, reflecting differences in house edge and how predictable their outcomes are in the short run. Each category’s rate gets fixed by the operator on a promotion-specific basis, shown in the terms as a percentage set next to the matching game type.
The common misreading
There’s an easy but wrong assumption that ₱100 wagered always cancels out ₱100 of a wagering requirement, whatever game carried the bet. That statement is accurate solely when a game’s contribution rate reaches 100%. Extensive play on a 0%-rated or lower-weighted game may leave the requirement almost untouched, or entirely untouched, with the weighting table the only place that discloses it.
The multiple that needs clearing is the wagering requirement itself; game weighting is a separate thing, the rate at which different games contribute toward it. A maximum bet rule is a separate thing entirely — it caps how large a stake can be, not the rate at which it contributes.
A worked example
To show the mechanism rather than cite a real figure: if slots contributed 100% and table games 10% under some promotion, staking ₱100 on a slot would satisfy the entire ₱100 requirement, whereas the same ₱100 on a table game would satisfy just ₱10. Rates by category, for a genuine promotion, come from that promotion’s own terms rather than some fixed industry standard, so never borrow the figure from another operator’s offer.
Using it in practice
Before any game gets chosen to work off a bonus, check the weighting table set out in that promotion’s own terms. The turnover actually needed can silently grow when a favourite table or live-dealer game contributes at far less than the assumed rate.
Game weighting and similar terms recur across the game pages on this site, and wherever a studio has not published the figure behind one, the page admits that instead of borrowing a comparison-site number. Because of that, several spec tables on this page sit blank rather than filled in.
