First, keep the offer’s terms open while you use the calculator, because the result is only as accurate as the numbers you enter. Then, enter each figure exactly as the terms state it.
For example, if the terms say 10x the bonus, choose 10x and make sure it applies to the bonus only. After that, change one number at a time, so you can see which setting really moves the result.
Finally, remember that the result is an estimate based on long-term averages, so a single session can go either way. In addition, set a deposit limit before you play, and only stake what you can afford to lose.
