Calculation Formulas

The mathematics behind free spins valuation

Basic Expected Value

EV = S x B x RTP

50 x $0.10 x 96% = $4.80

Wagering Impact

L = EV x W x HE

$4.80 x 35 x 4% = $6.72 loss

Real Value

RV = EV - Loss

$4.80 - $6.72 = -$1.92

No Wagering Value

V = S x B x RTP

100% of expected value retained

Understanding Free Spins Value

1

Calculate Base Value

Free spins have a base value equal to spins x bet value. This is what you would pay to spin manually.

2

Apply Slot RTP

The slot's Return to Player percentage determines how much you'll get back on average. 96% RTP means $96 back per $100 wagered.

3

Factor Wagering

Wagering requirements force you to bet winnings multiple times, losing to house edge each time. This can turn positive EV negative.

Real Value

The true value is what remains after accounting for the house edge on wagering. No-wagering spins retain full expected value.

Pro Tips

📋

Check Wagering First

Always check wagering requirements before claiming. 10x wagering vs 50x can be the difference between profit and loss.

📊

Choose High RTP Slots

If you can choose which slot to use, pick the highest RTP available. Each 1% difference in RTP compounds with wagering.

💰

Compare Bet Values

20 spins at $1 = $20 bet value. 100 spins at $0.10 = $10 bet value. Fewer high-value spins can be worth more.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Multiply the number of spins by the bet value and the slot's RTP. For example: 50 spins x $0.10 x 96% = $4.80 expected value. If there's wagering, subtract the expected loss from wagering.
Higher bet values, higher RTP slots, more spins, and lower/no wagering requirements all increase free spins value. A 50-spin offer at $1 per spin is worth 10x more than 50 spins at $0.10.
Wagering requirements force you to bet winnings multiple times. Each time you wager, you lose the house edge. With 35x wagering on 4% edge, you lose 35 x 4% = 140% of your winnings theoretically.
Yes, significantly. No-wagering free spins let you keep 100% of what you win. With wagering requirements, you may lose more through wagering than you originally won.
If given a choice, always pick the highest RTP slot available. A 97% RTP slot gives back $97 per $100 wagered vs $96 for a 96% RTP slot. Over many spins, this adds up.
Yes, when wagering requirements are high and RTP is low, expected losses from wagering can exceed expected winnings from spins. This calculator shows when this happens.
The calculator shows expected (average) values based on mathematics. Actual results will vary due to slot variance. You might win much more or less than the expected value on any given session.
