Short answer

Game contribution rules state how much play on each game category counts toward a promotional playthrough requirement. A game can contribute 100%, a smaller percentage, or nothing.

The essentials

Key points

  • Contribution changes progress toward playthrough, not the nominal stake itself.
  • Different versions or modes of a game may be treated differently.
  • Excluded games can produce no progress even though the balance changes.

In context

How it works in practice

At 20% contribution, 10 SC of gameplay adds only 2 SC toward a requirement. Completing a 40 SC progress target through that game would require 200 SC of total play.

Game statistics describe mathematical behavior across many plays. They do not predict a specific result, remove risk, or turn a promotional balance into guaranteed redeemable value.

Before relying on it

What to check

Check the promotion-specific table before playing. A general game category label may have named exceptions.

Operator rules, promotions, availability, and payment processes can change. Confirm current terms directly with the operator before registering, purchasing, or requesting a redemption.
