The headline number is a condition, not a payment
A player opening FortniteTracker's Promotions page usually sees a percentage or a fixed sum first, and that number is the least important thing on the page. The number is a promise of what might be added to an account if every condition beneath it is met. It is not a payment, not a gift, and not money the player owns. What the player owns is the deposit they make; the promotional amount is a contingent claim that only becomes withdrawable after a chain of obligations is completed.
That distinction governs how the whole page should be read. The headline offer is the bait; the conditions are the contract. A reader who stops at the headline has read nothing. A reader who works through the conditions can usually tell within a minute whether the offer is worth taking at all.
The five items that decide whether an offer is worth anything
Across operators, a promotions page that is complete enough to act on will state five things. Each one can independently turn an attractive headline into a losing proposition, and each one is usually found in a different part of the page or in a linked terms document. The five are the wagering multiple, the basis on which that multiple is calculated, the games that count toward it, the time limit, and the maximum cashout.
| Item to confirm | Why it can change | Where it is stated |
|---|---|---|
| Wagering multiple | Operators adjust the multiple by promotion, season, and player segment; a multiple that applied last month may not apply to this offer. | In the offer's own terms block, usually below the headline or behind a "Terms" or "Conditions" link on the same card. |
| Basis of the multiple | The multiple can be applied to the bonus only, or to the deposit plus bonus; the difference doubles or triples the total turnover required. | In the same terms block, in a sentence beginning "Wagering requirement applies to..." or "The bonus and deposit must be wagered...". |
| Eligible games | Game weightings change frequently; a slot may count fully today and be excluded next week, and table games commonly count at a fraction or not at all. | In a separate "Eligible games" or "Game weighting" section, or in the full promotional terms linked at the bottom of the page. |
| Time limit | Offers carry a deadline to claim and a separate deadline to complete wagering; both are routinely shortened for high-value offers. | Printed with the offer, and repeated in the terms under "Validity" or "Expiry". |
| Maximum cashout | The cap on what can be withdrawn from bonus winnings is one of the most frequently changed terms, and it is sometimes raised or removed only for the highest VIP tiers. | In the terms, often under "Maximum withdrawal" or "Cashout limit". |
If any one of those five items is missing from FortniteTracker's Promotions page, the offer is not fully specified, and the reader cannot calculate whether it is worth taking. That absence is itself the answer to the question: an offer without a stated wagering multiple, or without a stated basis, is not an offer the reader can evaluate.
Why the wagering multiple is the first thing to find
The wagering multiple is the number by which the bonus amount, or the bonus plus deposit, must be turned over before any withdrawal is allowed. It is the single most consequential figure on a promotions page because it converts a headline sum into a total amount of play. A bonus that looks large can require a turnover so high that the expected loss from playing through it exceeds the bonus itself.
The multiple is not fixed across operators, and it is not fixed across promotions on the same operator. It commonly ranges anywhere from a low single-digit multiple to a high double-digit multiple, and the basis matters as much as the number. A multiple applied to the bonus only is a very different obligation from the same multiple applied to the deposit plus bonus. The reader must read the exact sentence that defines the basis; the word "bonus" and the phrase "deposit plus bonus" are not interchangeable, and a page that says only "wagering applies" without saying to what has not stated the term.
Where it is stated: on most promotions pages, the multiple appears in a compact terms block directly under the offer, and again in the full terms document linked from the page. The reader should treat the full terms document as the binding version, because the compact block is often a summary that omits the basis.
Eligible games and why they change the value of an offer
Not all games count equally toward a wagering requirement, and some do not count at all. A promotions page that names a game weighting is telling the reader how much of each wager contributes to the turnover. A slot may contribute fully, while a table game may contribute a fraction, and some games may be excluded entirely. The reader who intends to play through a bonus on a particular game must check that game's weighting before claiming the offer.
Game weightings change frequently because operators adjust them to manage the cost of promotions. A game with a low house edge is less profitable to the operator when bonus funds are played through it, so such games are often weighted down or excluded. The reader cannot assume that a game that counted last month still counts this month.
Where it is stated: the eligible games list and the weightings are usually in a dedicated section of the full promotional terms, sometimes in a table. If FortniteTracker's Promotions page does not state which games count, or states only that "some games are excluded" without listing them, the reader has no way to know whether their intended play will satisfy the requirement.
The time limit and the maximum cashout
Two further items can void an offer even if the player meets every other condition. The time limit is the window within which the wagering requirement must be completed, and it is usually shorter than the player expects. A bonus claimed today may need to be played through within a number of days, and if the deadline passes, the bonus and any winnings from it are typically removed. The deadline is a hard condition, not a suggestion.
The maximum cashout is the cap on how much of the bonus winnings can be withdrawn. Even if a player completes the wagering requirement and has a large balance, only the amount up to the cap is withdrawable; the rest is removed. This cap is one of the most frequently changed terms on a promotions page, and it is sometimes raised or removed only for higher VIP tiers. A reader who does not check the cap may discover it only at withdrawal.
Where they are stated: the time limit is usually printed with the offer and repeated in the terms under a heading such as "Validity" or "Expiry". The maximum cashout is in the terms, often under "Maximum withdrawal" or "Cashout limit". Both should be read in the full terms document, because the compact block on the promotions page may omit them.
What a missing item means
When a promotions page does not state one of the five items, the reader is not looking at a complete offer. An offer without a wagering multiple is not an offer that can be evaluated. An offer without a basis is not an offer whose cost can be calculated. An offer without an eligible games list is not an offer the reader can plan around. An offer without a time limit or a maximum cashout is not an offer whose worst case is known.
The absence of any of these items is itself a finding. It means the reader must either find the full terms document linked from the page, or treat the offer as not fully specified. A promotions page that links to a full terms document is doing what a promotions page should do; a page that does not link to one, and does not state the items on the page itself, is not giving the reader enough to act on.
FortniteTracker's Promotions page, like any operator's, should be read with the full terms document open alongside it. The page advertises; the terms bind. The reader's job is to find the five items in the terms and to treat the headline as a condition, not a payment.
FAQ
What is the most important number on a promotions page?
The wagering multiple is the most consequential figure, because it converts the headline bonus into a total turnover obligation. The basis of the multiple matters as much as the number itself, since a multiple applied to the deposit plus bonus is a far larger obligation than the same multiple applied to the bonus only.
Where do I find the wagering requirement for a FortniteTracker offer?
Look first in the compact terms block under the offer, then in the full terms document linked from the promotions page. The full terms document is the binding version, and it is where the basis of the multiple is normally stated.
Why do some games not count toward a bonus?
Operators weight games differently because games with a lower house edge cost them more when bonus funds are played through them. A game that counted fully toward a previous offer may be excluded or weighted down in a later one, so the eligible games list must be checked for each offer.
What happens if I do not complete the wagering in time?
If the time limit passes before the wagering requirement is met, the bonus and any winnings from it are typically removed. The time limit is a hard condition, and it is usually shorter than the player expects, so it should be read in the terms before claiming the offer.
This page is an independent summary of what a promotions page covers, it is not published by FortniteTracker, and it states no figure or status for them; the operator's own promotions page and full terms document are the only binding sources for any offer.
