Understanding Your Welcome Bonus Wagering Requirements
When you claim our welcome offers, such as the Casino Welcome Package or the Crypto Casino Welcome Bonus, you'll find that bonus funds come with wagering requirements. These are standard practice in the industry and serve to ensure that bonus funds are used for play before any potential winnings can be withdrawn. We believe in clarity, so we aim to explain how these requirements work for you.
The Rollover Multiplier
The core of wagering requirements is the 'rollover multiplier'. For our welcome bonuses, this typically means you need to wager a certain multiple of your bonus amount (and sometimes your deposit amount) before you can withdraw any associated winnings. For example, if you receive $100 in bonus funds with a 30x rollover requirement on the bonus amount only, you would need to place bets totalling $3,000 (30 x $100) to meet this condition.
How Your Bets Contribute
Not all games contribute equally towards meeting your wagering requirements. This is to balance the game's inherent return to player (RTP) with the bonus structure. Generally:
- Pokies and most instant games usually contribute 100% of your bet amount towards the rollover.
- Table games, live casino games, and video poker may contribute a lower percentage, or may be excluded entirely from wagering. Specific contribution rates for these games, if applicable, will be detailed in the terms and conditions for each bonus.
We encourage you to review the specific terms for each promotion you engage with. This ensures you understand precisely how your play is contributing.
Time Limits and Restricted Games
Wagering requirements are not indefinite. Our welcome bonuses have a time limit within which the rollover must be completed. If the wagering is not met within this period, any remaining bonus funds and associated winnings may be forfeited. Similarly, some games might be excluded from bonus play to maintain fairness.
Real Money vs. Bonus Money
When you play with bonus funds, your bets are counted towards the wagering requirements. However, if you have both real money and bonus money in your account, your real money balance is typically used first. Once your real money balance is depleted, your bonus funds will then be used, and these bets will contribute to the wagering. Winnings generated from bonus money also contribute to meeting the wagering requirements. It is important to note that free spins awarded as part of a welcome package will have their own separate wagering requirements applied to any winnings derived from them.
Bonus Abuse and Maximum Bet Limits
To ensure a fair experience for all players, we have policies in place to prevent bonus abuse. This includes rules against placing bets that are disproportionately large compared to the bonus amount, or using betting strategies designed purely to cycle the bonus without genuine play. While wagering, there may also be a maximum bet limit applied to your wagers to prevent rapid completion of requirements, typically outlined in the bonus T&Cs.
We provide these details so you can make informed decisions about your play. We encourage you to familiarise yourself with the full terms and conditions associated with any bonus you choose to claim.
