The original definition and sourcing warnings are retained. These sources support only the claims identified below, not necessarily the full entry.
- Ohio Administrative Code 3775-16-09
Supports: Allows promotion or bonus funds to be subject to playthrough before withdrawal.
- Proposal 1: ban or limit the use of wagering requirements
Supports: Describes wagering requirements as a multiplier of an incentive amount, notes difficulty understanding high requirements, and adopts a maximum of 10 times for the covered incentives.
Remaining evidence gap: The frequency language often several times, sometimes many times is nonspecific, and guaranteed betting volume is rhetoric rather than a demonstrated universal result.
