Unlike cashback, rebate is calculated on total wagering regardless of whether you win or lose.
Unlike cashback, rebate is calculated on your total theoretical wagering regardless of whether you win or lose. The rebate percentage applies directly to all wagering volume.
Formula: Total Wagering × Rebate%
Always read the site's terms and conditions.
A rebate is one of the most rewarding bonus structures in online gambling because it applies to your total wagering volume rather than just your net losses. Whether you end a session up, down, or breakeven, your rebate accrues on every bet you place. This makes it especially valuable for high-frequency players on games with tight RTP — every spin contributes to the rebate pool, win or lose.
This calculator uses your deposit and game RTP to derive your theoretical wagering volume, then applies the rebate percentage to that figure. The theoretical wagering amount shown is the total you can expect to wager before busting based on the math of the game's house edge.
Example: A $10,000 deposit on a 96% RTP slot generates $250,000 in theoretical wagering. At a 1% rebate rate, that session earns $2,500 back — regardless of whether the session was profitable. Compare that to a 10% cashback deal on the same $10,000 net loss, which would only return $1,000.
The trade-off: rebate rates are typically much lower than cashback rates because the base they apply to is so much larger. Always convert both deal types to "dollars returned per $1,000 deposited" to compare them fairly. A 0.5% rebate on $250,000 wagering ($1,250 returned) can easily beat a 10% cashback on $10,000 net losses ($1,000 returned) from the same session.
Use the Combo calculator if your casino offers a mix of cashback, rakeback, and rebate — the combined picture often looks very different from evaluating any single deal in isolation.
