Daily Boost

For example, if you get 100 experience points, you will get 200 experience thanks to the additional bonus xp. To see more in-depth all the duration boosts available and their prices, check this table.

Win Boost

Win Boosts will add a standard amount of approximately 216 XP per average game in League of Legends, and it is important to notice that the time you spent during a game will not influence the experience reward.

These Win Boosts have set duration and price. Because they only work for every won game you play, and depending on which one you get, it determines how many games will be boosted.
