Before you deposit

Pokies Bonus & Wagering Calculator

Calculate your real bonus value before you deposit. Enter a deposit, the match on offer and the wagering requirement to see how much you'd have to turn over before any bonus becomes cash you can withdraw.

Bonus credited

Total to wager

Deposit + bonus balance
A$200

Rough guide only. Wagering here is applied to the bonus amount (the most common offshore rule); some sites wager deposit + bonus, and game weightings vary — always read the fine print. Lower wagering is easier to clear: Goldenbet and Kingmaker sit at 35x.

How to read the result

The bonus credited is your deposit multiplied by the match percentage. The total to wager is that bonus multiplied by the wagering requirement — the amount you must bet before the bonus (and any winnings from it) can be withdrawn. Most offshore casinos apply wagering to the bonus only, but some apply it to deposit plus bonus, and pokies usually count 100% toward wagering while table games count far less. A lower multiplier is dramatically easier to clear: at 35x a A$100 bonus needs A$3,500 of turnover; at 50x that jumps to A$5,000.

My honest take: a smaller bonus with 35x wagering you can actually clear beats a giant one at 50x you never will. Goldenbet and Kingmaker sit at the friendly end of this list.

The pokies are entertainment, not a way to make money. Set a deposit limit, only stake what you can afford to lose, and never chase a loss. You must be 18+.
