I cleared a 25x playthrough, what it actually cost in time and money

Logged the whole thing so figured I'd share real numbers instead of the usual vague brag.
Deposited 100 on a regulated app, got a 100 percent match so 100 bonus, 25x wagering on the bonus only, slots weighted 100 percent. That's 2,500 in wagering to clear.
I played mostly 40 to 80 cent spins. Took me six sessions across nine days, call it about four hours total. Variance swung me up to 180 and down to 35 at the low point, genuinely thought I'd lose it twice.
Finished with a balance of 142. So after the 100 deposit I netted 42 in real withdrawable money. Cashout was ACH, hit my bank in 3 business days, no drama.
So: 42 bucks for four hours and nine days of attention. Fair, not amazing. The point is it WAS clearable and it DID pay. Anyone got cleaner numbers?
