PHFUN Game weighting Explained — Why Not All Turnover Counts the Same
Game weighting (also called contribution rate): A game-specific rate that decides how far wagers placed on it move a wagering requirement toward being cleared.

Most confusion around Game weighting comes from its loose usage, since the term itself has a precise meaning.

Counting toward a wagering requirement, which is measured in turnover, happens at differing rates depending on where the peso is staked. Slots, table games, live dealer and others can each contribute at a different rate, as operators commonly assign by game category, reflecting differences in house edge and in how predictable short-run outcomes are. Each category’s rate is decided by the operator for the specific promotion in question and shown as a percentage next to each game type in the terms.
The common misreading
The easy assumption is that ₱100 wagered always counts as ₱100 cleared toward a wagering requirement, whichever game it went on. That holds solely where a game contributes at 100%. The requirement barely moves, or does not move, when a game contributing at a lower rate or at 0% is played extensively, and the weighting table itself is the sole warning.
Do not mistake game weighting for the wagering requirement itself; weighting governs the rate at which different games count, while the requirement is the multiple to clear. Do not confuse it with a maximum bet rule, which caps the size of a stake and is not a rate of contribution.
Using it in practice
Which games to play toward a bonus should be decided only after reading the weighting table in that specific promotion’s terms. A game such as a favourite table or live-dealer one may count for much less than assumed, silently stretching the actual turnover needed. Hold it up against what max bet rule means, as a page explaining one almost always explains the rest.
Game weighting is one of the terms running through the game pages on this site, and when the studio publishes no figure behind such a term, those pages say so rather than quoting a comparison-site number. For that reason, blanks appear in several of the spec tables on this page.
A worked example
Consider a hypothetical illustration of the mechanism rather than an actual rate: if slots contribute 100% and table games 10% under a promotion, then ₱100 staked on a table game clears only ₱10 of the requirement while ₱100 staked on a slot clears ₱100. Never assume from another operator’s offer which categories get which rate, since that is set in a promotion’s own terms and is not a fixed industry figure.

FAQ
How do I make use of Game weighting when picking a game?
Which games to play toward a bonus should be decided only after reading the weighting table in that specific promotion's terms. A game such as a favourite table or live-dealer one may count for much less than assumed, silently stretching the actual turnover needed.
Does a casino have the power to change Game weighting?
Not on this site's evidence. The studio owns any value behind game weighting that the game's own mathematics sets, not the operator, and if the studio publishes none, there is nothing outside that could confirm it.
What does Game weighting mean?
