Australian Online Casino / Bonus terms
Read the bonus terms before treating a bonus as balance
Updated:
A bonus can change the withdrawal rules for both bonus funds and associated winnings. Do not calculate its value until the terms say which funds are included and which games count.
Find these seven lines
- Minimum deposit and eligible payment method.
- Wagering multiplier and whether it applies to bonus, deposit or both.
- Eligible games and contribution percentages.
- Maximum bet while the bonus is active.
- Expiry date and what happens when it passes.
- Maximum conversion or withdrawal amount.
- Account, country, KYC and one-bonus-per-person restrictions.
Conditional example, not an offer
| Wording in terms | Deposit A$100 + bonus A$50 | Turnover example |
|---|---|---|
| 35× bonus only | 35 × A$50 | A$1,750 |
| 35× deposit and bonus | 35 × A$150 | A$5,250 |
| 35× deposit or bonus, whichever is stated | Cannot decide without the exact clause | Ask support before depositing |
The arithmetic is illustrative. Turnover is the sum of qualifying stakes, not a required cash balance and not a guaranteed loss. Reinvested winnings may count only where the published terms say so. A slot contribution such as 100%, 20% or 0% also changes the amount of qualifying play.
When the bonus should be declined
Do not accept a promotion if the operator will not show expiry, maximum bet, eligible games or the withdrawal consequence. A banner headline is not the full contract. Save the exact terms and the date you read them because promotions can change.
