Wager Requirements
What are they?
Wagering requirements are a feature of bingo bonus, slots bonus and scratch card bonus. Here is our simple guide to how they work.
Every time you get a bonus from Bingo Enchanted, you will receive a pop up on the screen asking you to Accept or Decline your bonus.
E.g Congrats! You have been awarded with a £10 bingo bonus! This bonus carries a 2 x Wagering requirement. Accept or Decline?
If you press Accept, this means that any winnings you make from spending your bingo bonus will be held back until you stake 2 x £10 out of your winnings (you don’t need to spend any of your money)!
Say you buy a bingo ticket with your bingo bonus and win £200, you must stake £20 of this through the site before your winnings will enter your cash balance. If your bingo bonus reaches zero before you meet the wager requirements, you will be released from the wager requirement.
How can I meet them?
There are two quick ways you can check what you’ve got left to wager to meet your Wager Requirements.
First, you can click on “Menu” from the Bingo Lobby, then click “;My Promotions” and then click on “My Bonus Funds”.
This screen allows you to search for all your bonuses that you have had and have got at the moment. It will show you how much you’ve left to wager too! All you need to do is select a date from before you registered and ensure that “Bonus Status” and “Bonus Balance” are set to “All”. When you click “Submit”, all the Bingo Bonus money you’ve received from us will show. From the list, you can simply click on the “i” button next to each bonus in the “Awarded Bonus” column and you’ll see any remaining requirements that need to be met, as well as the ones you’ve already completed.
We hope this guide helps! If you have any other questions about Wagering Requirements, contact us on

Self-exclusion
- You can instruct us to exclude you from placing Gambling Transactions, either for a specific period of time (from a minimum of 6 months) or permanently, by contacting Customer Services. In asking Customer Services to exclude you from the Website and our Services, you acknowledge and agree that we will block your Account from placing Gambling Transactions for the period requested, starting as soon as possible after receipt of your request (and, in any event, no later than the next time you try and log in). The self-exclusion will be applied to all websites operated by us and members of our Group (please note that there may be a short delay in applying the self-exclusion to websites operated by other members of our Group).
- If you do not self-exclude permanently then, during the period of self-exclusion, you will not be able to place Gambling Transactions or otherwise access your Account.

Any Accounts found to be in breach of a self-exclusion agreement will be closed as soon as they are discovered. Please note that if you access your Account and/or open a new Account during the self-exclusion period by fraudulent means or by deliberately entering incorrect information and our automated checks do not prevent this happening, then we shall have no responsibility or liability to you or any third party for any gambling activity that takes place (including to return any deposits, winnings or other funds in respect of such activity). Any new Accounts during a self-exclusion agreement will be closed as soon as they are detected by us.

Furthermore, we may provide your personal information to a third party investigating your activity or Account, as set out in our Privacy Policy
Fees and Chargebacks
- We will not typically charge you a fee to deposit or withdraw funds. However, if we suspect that you are misusing the deposit and/or withdrawal functionality, we reserve the right to charge you a fee to reflect any costs incurred by us in connection with such misuse.
- When you make a deposit by debit card or credit card, some financial institutions categorise gambling deposits as “cash” and may levy a fixed and/or interest charge from the date of payment. It is your responsibility to settle this charge.
- If you make repeated deposits and withdrawals, but do not engage in a reasonable level of Gambling Transactions, we reserve the right to charge any associated bank charges to you by debiting your Account. We will provide you with advance notice before processing this debit.
- Where relevant in your jurisdiction, it is your responsibility to account to the relevant tax authorities for any winnings. We are not liable to account to any tax authority for any of your personal taxes.
- If, for whatever reason, there is a chargeback request to your Account, you accept and acknowledge that we may suspend your Account indefinitely to enable us to investigate and resolve the matter. During such period, any monies due or requested will be withheld.
Suspension and closure
- If you wish to close your Account, please contact Customer Services.
- We reserve the right to close or suspend your Account at any time and for any reason. In the event of such closure or suspension, subject to paragraph 48 below and as soon as reasonably following a request from you, we will refund the balance of your Account.
- Without prejudice to the preceding paragraph, we shall be entitled to close or suspend your Account and void all Gambling Transactions in the following circumstances:
- you become bankrupt; and/or
- we consider that you have used the Website and/or the Services in a fraudulent manner or for illegal, unlawful and/or improper purposes; and/or

- we consider that any of the events referred to in (a) to (e) may have occurred or are likely to occur; and/or
- you don’t supply any information requested by us; and/or
- we have reason to believe that you have breached, or are breaching, these Terms & Conditions.
- Where we close or suspend your Account for your breach of these Terms & Conditions, we may withhold and/or retain any and all amounts which would otherwise have been paid or payable to you and you will compensate us for all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses incurred or suffered by us. Furthermore, we may withhold the funds in your Account following a valid request from any law enforcement or regulatory authority or court order requires us to withhold the funds in your Account.
Inactive and Dormant Accounts
- If you have not entered into a Gambling Transaction using your Account for a continuous period of 12 months, your Account will be deemed inactive. Once your Account has been deemed inactive we may, upon giving you notice, charge you a maintenance fee. If your Account is inactive for a further 12 months (i.e. you have not entered into a Gambling Transaction using your Account for a continuous period of 2 years), your Account will be considered dormant and closed.
Entering into a Gambling Transaction and/or using the Services
- We reserve the right to decline all or part of a Gambling Transaction entered into by you at our sole and absolute discretion. All Gambling Transactions are entered into at your own discretion. Gambling Transactions will not be confirmed if there are insufficient funds in your Account.
- We will only accept Gambling Transactions made online (including via mobile phone or mobile applications). Once a Gambling Transaction has been accepted by us, you cannot cancel the Gambling Transaction. It is your responsibility to ensure that all details of the Gambling Transaction are correct.
- Winnings from settled Gambling Transactions will be added to the balance of your Account. Any funds credited in error are not available for use and we reserve the right to (i) void any Gambling Transaction involving such funds and (ii) withdraw the relevant amount and reverse the Gambling Transaction, whether at the time or retrospectively.
Errors and omissions
- A number of circumstances may arise where errors are made in respect of Gambling Transactions placed or payments made by us (“Error“). An Error could be the result of a mistake by an individual or a defect or fault with the Software. We will not be liable for any Error (however caused) including (but not limited to) the following:
- any terms of a Gambling Transaction are incorrect as a result of an obvious error or omission in inputting the information or as a result of a computer malfunction; and/or
- we incorrectly calculate or pay out the amount of Winnings that are paid to you; and/or
- an error occurs in a random number generator or pay tables included or used in any game or product; and/or
- the failure of any hardware or communications systems.

- Where it is not practicable for us to correct and re-settle a Gambling Transaction which has been subject to an Error, we reserve the right to declare the relevant Gambling Transaction void and withhold payment of the relevant Winnings to you. Where we have paid Winnings to you which we can reasonably demonstrate were as a result of an Error, we reserve the right to claim back such Winnings from you and/or deduct them from your Account Balance.
- You should inform us of any Error as soon as possible and should not seek to exploit an Error to generate Winnings. Where we can reasonably demonstrate that you have exploited an Error to generate Winnings we shall have no liability to you in respect of such Winnings. Where we have paid Winnings to you which we can reasonably demonstrate were as a result of you exploiting an Error, we reserve the right to claim back such Winnings from you and/or deduct them from your Account Balance.
- Neither we, nor our employees, partners or suppliers, will be liable for, or be required to compensate you for, any loss that results from any Error by us.

- Misuse or abuse of a game voids all wagers, plays and pay-outs related to your playing of that game.
