Wagering terms, what counts as fair these days

Trying to set a baseline in my head because the goalposts keep moving. A few years back 35x on bonus only felt standard. Now I'm seeing 40x and 45x thrown around like it's nothing, and some places quote it on deposit PLUS bonus which roughly doubles the real grind.
So I want to compare apples to apples. Two offers I'm weighing:
One is 40x on bonus only, $5 max bet, slots weighted 100%. The other is 30x but on deposit plus bonus, table games at 20%, with a max bet that's a bit higher.
On paper 30x looks friendlier but the deposit-plus-bonus base makes it heavier than the 40x. Where do you all draw the line? Anything over what number do you just walk away from? Curious what feels fair to people who actually clear these and don't just deposit and pray.

Walk-away line for me is anything that says deposit plus bonus. Doesn't matter if it's 25x, the base inflates the whole thing and they know most people only read the multiplier.
40x on bonus only is fine. 35x is the comfy zone. Past 45x on bonus only I won't bother unless the cashout speed is elite. And max bet under $5 is a deal killer for me because I'll forget mid-session and void the lot, done it twice, learned the hard way.

The multiplier is honestly the least sneaky part. The real damage hides in game weighting and the max cashout cap on bonus winnings.
Seen a clean looking 30x where slots only counted 100% but anything decent for grinding was downweighted, so effectively you're stuck playing high variance stuff to clear it. And then a cap that says you can only withdraw 5x your bonus no matter what. Fair to me means: bonus only base, clear weighting table published, no surprise win cap. If any of those three are murky I pass.

secondo me people forget the time window. A 35x with a 3 day expiry is harder than a 45x you've got 30 days to clear.
Do the math: bonus amount times multiplier divided by your average bet times rounds per hour. If that's more hours than the expiry allows, it's mathematically impossible and they're banking on you not noticing. The 30x deposit-plus-bonus one you listed is the worse deal, no question, run the numbers and it's heavier than the 40x.

Good thread. To put a number on it: bonus-only at 35x to 40x with slots at 100% and a sane expiry is the fair band right now, anything quoted on deposit plus bonus I treat as roughly double the stated number.
One thing to add for newer folks reading. No-KYC just means lighter signup, email and password. The wagering terms still apply in full and they can absolutely request ID before paying out a big bonus clear, especially if your volume spikes. So clearing a bonus doesn't mean skipping verification at cashout.
