How Wagering Works
Wagering requirements, also called playthrough, are the number of times you must bet the bonus amount before you can withdraw winnings. Here’s a detailed example using real numbers.
Important: The following values are illustrative; always check the specific offer.
Bonus Scenario: You deposit $100 and receive a 100% match bonus, so you get $100 extra. The wagering requirement is 35x the bonus amount.
Calculation:
Wagering requirement = Bonus amount × Multiplier = $100 × 35 = $3,500
You must wager $3,500 in total (on eligible games) before any winnings from the bonus become withdrawable.
Now, consider game contributions. Slots typically contribute 100% of your bet, while table games like blackjack contribute only 10%. If you bet $10 on a slot, the full $10 counts toward the $3,500. If you bet $10 on blackjack, only $1 (10%) counts.
Effective wagering: To meet the requirement playing only slots: need to place bets summing to $3,500. At an average bet of $5, that’s 700 spins. With an RTP of 96%, expected loss during wagering is about 4% of total wagers = $140. So the true cost of the bonus is around $140 (including your original deposit?). This is why understanding wagering is crucial before opting in.
Some offers have a maximum bet limit (e.g., $5 per spin) or game restrictions. Always read the full terms.
Deposits & Withdrawals
Playojo offers several payment methods for Canadian players. Below is a comparison of popular options.
| Method | Deposit Min/Max | Withdrawal Time | Fees |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interac | $10 – $5,000 | Instant | None |
| Visa | $10 – $5,000 | 1–3 business days | None |
| Mastercard | $10 – $5,000 | 1–3 business days | None |
| Bitcoin | $20 – $10,000 | Up to 24 hours | Network fee may apply |
Deposits are usually instant. For withdrawals, the casino will verify your identity first (KYC). The first withdrawal might take longer due to verification. Note that if you win a large amount from a bonus with wagering not yet met, you cannot withdraw until you complete the playthrough. Also, because Playojo holds a Curacao license, Canadian players may be required to report gambling winnings as income – consult a tax professional.

Security
Playojo uses 128-bit SSL encryption to protect all data transfers. Account security is bolstered by two-factor authentication (2FA) – you can enable it in your account settings under Security. The casino also requires KYC (Know Your Customer) documentation before any withdrawal, which prevents fraud and underage gambling. Playojo’s random number generators are regularly audited by independent testing agencies like iTech Labs to ensure fair outcomes.
Troubleshooting
- I can’t log in. Check that your email and password are correct. Use the «Forgot Password» link to reset. If still locked, clear your browser cache and cookies, then retry.
- My deposit didn’t appear. First, verify the transaction in your bank or e-wallet. If it shows as completed but not credited, contact customer support with the transaction ID. Deposits are usually instant; delays can happen with certain payment methods.
- The bonus didn’t activate. Ensure you opted in when depositing. Some bonuses require a promo code. Check the terms – if the bonus is not credited within 10 minutes, contact support.
- Withdrawal is pending for too long. The first withdrawal may take up to 72 hours due to KYC. If pending beyond that, submit your documents proactively. Use live chat to check status.
- Game is not loading. Try a different browser or clear cache. Update Adobe Flash if needed (though most games use HTML5). Also, check if your internet is stable.
- I exceeded my self-exclusion period. If you have set a self-exclusion, you cannot create a new account. Contact support to request reinstatement only after the period ends.
