PESOMAX Game weighting Explained — Why Not All Turnover Counts the Same

Pages that mention Game weighting mostly assume you already know the term. This one does not.

Game weighting (also called contribution rate) — This rate determines how far a given game’s wagers go toward clearing a wagering requirement.

What Game weighting actually means

Turnover is the unit a wagering requirement gets measured in, though staked pesos do not all count toward it at the same rate. Slots, table games, live dealer and other categories often receive separate contribution rates from operators, reflecting differences in house edge and short-run predictability. Each category’s rate is the operator’s choice for that particular promotion, listed in the terms as a percentage beside every game type.

A worked example

To illustrate the mechanism with a hypothetical, not an actual rate: say a promotion credits slots at 100% and table games at 10%, so a ₱100 slot wager clears the full ₱100 of the requirement, while ₱100 wagered on a table game clears just ₱10. Any real promotion states, in its own terms, which category gets which rate — there’s no fixed industry figure, and another operator’s offer is never a safe assumption.

Using it in practice

Read the weighting table in that promotion’s own terms first, before settling on which games to play toward a bonus. Turnover actually needed can silently stretch out when a favourite table or live-dealer game contributes at a rate well below what’s assumed. It lands more easily once what max bet rule means has been read too.

Game weighting and similar terms appear throughout the game pages on this site, and whenever a studio hasn’t published the figure behind one, the page states that rather than citing a number from a comparison site. Several spec tables here are blank for exactly that reason.

The common misreading

One could easily assume ₱100 in wagers always removes exactly ₱100 from a wagering requirement, no matter the game it went to. Only games with a full 100% contribution rate make that statement true. The weighting table alone discloses that a game contributing at 0%, or a reduced rate, can absorb extensive play while the requirement moves little or not at all.

The wagering requirement itself differs from game weighting: the requirement is the multiple needing clearance, while weighting is the rate games count toward it. A maximum bet rule is something else entirely: a stake-size cap, not a contribution rate.
