Run your own numbers
Change the game (house edge) or whether the rollover applies to deposit + bonus to see how the real value shifts. Lower-edge games like blackjack clear far more value than slots.
Rollover applies to:
Total to wager
$600
Expected cost
$24.00
Real bonus value
-$4.00
Value retained
-20%
Not worth it at this house edge — the wagering requirement costs more than the bonus is worth. Try a lower-edge game (e.g. blackjack) or skip it.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the Kalshi bonus?
- Kalshi's current headline offer is $20 free trade credit. Check the terms for any wagering requirement — see the real-value breakdown above before opting in.
- Is the Kalshi bonus worth it?
- Use the calculator above with the bonus's actual wagering requirement and your game's house edge to see what it's really worth.
- How does the wagering requirement work?
- A wagering requirement (rollover) is how many times you must bet the bonus before you can withdraw it. A 30× requirement on a $100 bonus means $3,000 of wagers. Every wager bleeds the house edge, so the requirement quietly erodes the bonus's real value — which is exactly what the breakdown above quantifies.
