Game weighting carries a precise meaning, and most of the confusion around it comes from the looser version people actually use.

The rate at which a peso staked counts toward a wagering requirement is not uniform, despite turnover being the unit of measure. House edge and short-run predictability differ across slots, table games, live dealer and other categories, which is commonly why operators assign each a separate contribution rate. It’s the operator who sets the per-category rate for that promotion, shown in the terms as a percentage next to the relevant game type.
Using it in practice
Consult that specific promotion’s weighting table, in its terms, prior to picking which games to play for a bonus. Silently extending the turnover actually needed is what happens when a favourite table or live-dealer game contributes at a much lower rate than assumed. The fastest fix is checking it against wagering requirement, explained, which appear beside it in most rulebooks.
Game weighting is one of several terms threaded through this site’s game pages, and whenever a studio’s figure behind it goes unpublished, the page flags that gap rather than pulling a number from some comparison site. That reason explains why blanks turn up in several of the spec tables you see here.
A worked example
This hypothetical, offered to show the mechanism rather than a genuine rate, has a promotion crediting 100% for slots and 10% for table games, meaning a ₱100 slot bet clears ₱100 of the requirement against just ₱10 cleared by a ₱100 table-game bet. Which rate goes with which category is stated in each real promotion’s own terms, not fixed industrywide, and should never be guessed from another operator’s offer.
The common misreading
A tempting but incorrect assumption holds that every ₱100 wagered clears ₱100 of a wagering requirement, no matter which game received the stake. That only applies where contribution runs at the full 100% rate. Games weighted at 0%, or simply low, can soak up extensive play while the requirement barely shifts, or doesn’t shift, something only visible in the weighting table.
Game weighting should not be mistaken for the wagering requirement — one sets the rate games count toward the multiple, the other is that multiple to be cleared. Also not equivalent to a maximum bet rule, this concerns a rate of contribution, while that rule caps stake size.

FAQ
Game weighting deserves a role in picking a game — but how exactly should it be used?
Consult that specific promotion's weighting table, in its terms, prior to picking which games to play for a bonus. Silently extending the turnover actually needed is what happens when a favourite table or live-dealer game contributes at a much lower rate than assumed.
Can a casino actually adjust Game weighting?
Not on this site's evidence. A game-weighting figure fixed by the game's own math sits with the studio, not the operator, and stays beyond outside verification whenever the studio keeps it off the record.
Where do most people go wrong with Game weighting?
A tempting but incorrect assumption holds that every ₱100 wagered clears ₱100 of a wagering requirement, no matter which game received the stake. That only applies where contribution runs at the full 100% rate. Games weighted at 0%, or simply low, can soak up extensive play while the requirement barely shifts, or doesn't shift, something only visible in the weighting table.
