01 — Overview

What a casino promotion really is

A promotion is an offer that gives you extra value — bonus funds, free spins, cashback or a loyalty reward — usually in return for meeting a few conditions. The value is genuine, but every promotion comes with terms that decide how it works: which games it applies to, how long you have to use it, and what you need to do before any bonus winnings can be withdrawn. Reading those terms first is the single best habit for getting the most out of an offer. This page explains the concepts in general terms — the exact figures for any live promotion are always shown in its own terms in your account.

02 — Bonus types

The common types of offer

Most casino promotions fall into a handful of familiar shapes. Knowing them makes any offer easier to read at a glance.

Deposit match

The casino adds a percentage of your deposit as bonus funds — for example a 100% match doubles your starting balance, usually up to a stated cap.

Free spins

A set number of spins on selected pokies. Any winnings are usually paid as bonus funds with their own wagering terms attached.

Cashback

A portion of net losses returned over a set period. Cashback often carries lighter conditions than a match bonus, but always check the terms.

Loyalty & reload

Ongoing rewards for regular play — reload offers on later deposits, loyalty points, or tiered perks that build over time.

03 — Wagering

How wagering requirements work

Wagering requirements are the most important part of any bonus to understand. They set how much you need to bet before bonus winnings become withdrawable.

The multiplier

A bonus with "30x wagering" means you must place bets totalling 30 times the bonus amount before related winnings can be cashed out.

Game weighting

Games count differently toward wagering — pokies often count 100%, while table games and live casino may count far less or not at all.

Time limits

Most bonuses expire if the wagering is not completed inside a set window, after which the bonus and its winnings are removed.

Bet caps

Many offers cap the maximum bet while a bonus is active. Going over the cap can void the bonus, so check it before you play.

04 — Before you opt in

06 — FAQ

Common questions about promotions

Quick answers to what players ask most about bonuses and offers.

Do I have to take a bonus?

No. Bonuses are optional. If you prefer to play without conditions, you can decline an offer and play with your own funds, which carry no wagering requirement.

Why have my bonus winnings disappeared?

The usual reasons are an expired time limit, exceeding the maximum bet while the bonus was active, or wagering that was not completed. The offer terms explain the exact rules — if anything is unclear, contact Live Chat before you keep playing.

What does "game weighting" mean?

It is how much each game type counts toward your wagering target. Pokies often count 100%, while table games and live casino may count much less. The promotion terms list the weightings that apply.

Can I withdraw a bonus straight away?

Not usually. Bonus funds and their winnings normally need to meet the wagering requirement first. Your own deposited funds are separate and are not locked by a bonus.

Where can I read the full terms?

Every live offer shows its own terms when you view or opt in, and our Bonus Rules page covers the general conditions that apply across all U88AUD promotions.
