Casino bonuses: welcome, no deposit & free spins

A casino bonus gives you extra funds or spins to play with, in exchange for meeting a few conditions. Level Up runs a mix of offers – a welcome bonus for new players, occasional no deposit deals, free spins and reloads – all in Australian dollars. This page explains what each type is, how wagering works, and what to read before you claim, so there are no surprises. Current codes are sent to members, so check the Promo Code page for the latest.

Types of bonuses

Most offers fall into a few groups. Knowing the difference helps you pick the ones that suit how you play:

BonusWhat it givesGood to know
Welcome bonusA deposit match plus free spins for new playersOne per player; has wagering
No deposit bonusA small bonus just for signing upOccasional; stricter terms
Free spinsSet spins on selected pokiesWinnings usually have wagering
Reload bonusExtra funds on a later depositFor returning players
Cashback / VIPPart of losses returned, or loyalty perksOften lower or no wagering

Welcome bonus

The welcome bonus is aimed at new players and usually pairs a deposit match with free spins – so your first deposit goes further and you get some spins on top. It is a one-time offer per account, comes with a wagering requirement, and may be split across your first deposits. Read the match percentage, the maximum bonus and the wagering before you opt in, so you know exactly what you are signing up for.

No deposit bonus

A no deposit bonus is the rarest type: a small amount of bonus funds or spins just for creating an account, with no deposit needed. Because there is no risk to you, the terms are usually stricter – lower maximum cashout, higher wagering, and a short time limit. It is a good way to try the casino, but treat any winnings as a bonus, not a guaranteed payout. These deals appear occasionally, so watch the Promo Code page and the newsletter.

Free spins

Free spins let you spin selected pokies without using your own balance. They can come as part of the welcome pack, as a standalone offer, or as a daily or weekly reward. Any winnings from free spins normally carry a wagering requirement before you can withdraw them, and spins are often tied to specific games. Check which pokies qualify and whether there is a cap on what the spins can win.

Reload & cashback

Reload bonuses reward you for topping up again – extra funds on a later deposit – while cashback returns a portion of your losses over a set period. Cashback often has lower or no wagering, which can make it more useful than a big headline match. Both are aimed at regular players and are worth comparing on their terms, not just their size.

How wagering works

Almost every bonus has a wagering requirement: the number of times you must bet the bonus before the winnings can be withdrawn. For example, a bonus with 35x wagering means a A$10 bonus needs A$350 in bets first. Not every game counts the same either – pokies usually contribute 100%, while table games may count much less. A smaller bonus with fair wagering is often worth more than a large one you can never clear.

Play smart

A bonus should add to the fun, not push you to spend more. Only deposit what you can afford, favour offers with clear, low wagering, and stop when you reach a limit you set in advance. You must be 18 or older to play in Australia. Level Up offers deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion on the Responsible Gaming page, and free, confidential help is available through Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858.
