    How to automatically calculate expected value of a bonus?

    Hi,

    Imagine one wanted to make a calculator where you could easily calculate EV of a bonus. The goal is to make this universal, so for casino, poker, slots, bingo, betting, ... you get the idea.

    As far as I know the following factors have to be taken into account:
    - Deposit
    - Bonus %
    - Wager Requirements: B, D or B+D (or simply as 'flat' number)
    - Bonus given before or after WR
    - Bonus cashable, sticky and remains in account when withdraw winnings, sticky and deleted from account when withdraw winnings
    - House edge
    - Game that will be played
    - Website that will be played
    - % game contributes to WR at the site (or is this per software platform?)
    - Comp points earned/wager
    - $ value/comp points

    Is this everything? Is this universal (even forex?)

    Now EV = ???
    (Edit; I am looking for the formula.)

    $5 via Paypal for the one with the first answer that is universal and robust.

    I am looking for the formula to calculate expected value that takes into account all these (and others that I missed) parameters.

    The goal is to help my users calculate the EV of the bonus they get. Because I want to take into account the game they play, the casino they play at, ... you have a lot of factors (which I tried to list above) and hence I posted this thread for some help regarding 1. The formula 2. Parameters I forgot.

    Sorry for being unclear in the OP.
