The wagering requirement is 35x (deposit + bonus). Your total wagering requirement = ($100 deposit + $100 bonus) \u00d7 35 = $7,000. You must place bets totaling $7,000 before withdrawing any winnings. If you play slots with a 95% RTP, the expected loss over the wagering period is $7,000 \u00d7 (1 &#8211; 0.95) = $350. This means your bonus of $100 effectively costs $350 in expected losses, so play only if you enjoy the games and accept the risk.<\/p>\n<h2>Money In, Money Out<\/h2>\n<table border='1'>\n<tr>\n<th>Payment Method<\/th>\n<th>Min Deposit<\/th>\n<th>Min Withdrawal<\/th>\n<th>Processing Time<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Visa\/Mastercard<\/td>\n<td>$10<\/td>\n<td>$20<\/td>\n<td>3-5 business days<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Skrill<\/td>\n<td>$10<\/td>\n<td>$10<\/td>\n<td>24 hours<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Neteller<\/td>\n<td>$10<\/td>\n<td>$10<\/td>\n<td>24 hours<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bank Transfer<\/td>\n<td>$50<\/td>\n<td>$100<\/td>\n<td>5-7 business days<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Security Overview<\/h2>\n<p>Pokerstars online employs industry-standard SSL encryption to protect data transmission.
