Three deposit stages, with a different reward at each step

The welcome package is split across your first, second and third deposits. The percentage rises at each stage, while the first two offers have a stated maximum cashout of unlimited. Each welcome deposit uses the same 35× wagering calculation on the deposit and bonus combined.

Deposit stageRewardWagering and max bet
First deposit150% match up to $2,000; minimum deposit $3035× deposit + bonus; max bet $8 or 19% of starting bonus value
Second deposit200% match up to $1,000, plus 50 Free Spins35× deposit + bonus; max bet $8 or 19% of starting bonus value
Third deposit250% match up to $1,00035× deposit + bonus; max bet $8 or 19% of starting bonus value

That makes the first deposit the largest bonus by dollar value, while the third has the highest match percentage. The second deposit sits between them and adds an extra reward alongside the match.

The first offer starts at $30

A first deposit of at least $30 is needed for the 150% match. The bonus percentage applies to the deposit amount until the $2,000 bonus ceiling is reached.

First deposit bonus: how the 150% match works in dollars

The first offer adds a bonus worth 150% of your deposit, subject to the $2,000 ceiling. The wagering base is the original deposit plus the bonus, not the bonus amount by itself. That distinction matters because the 35× requirement is calculated against the larger combined figure.

A $30 example

  1. Make the minimum deposit

    Deposit $30, which is the minimum for the first offer.

  2. Calculate the match

    A 150% match on $30 gives you a $45 bonus.

  3. Add the two amounts

    Your deposit and bonus create a $75 wagering base.

  4. Apply 35× wagering

    The required wagering amount is $75 × 35, which equals $2,625 in settled bets.

For a larger illustration, a $1,000 deposit produces a $1,500 match. The combined wagering base is then $2,500, so the 35× requirement is $87,500. The bonus is still below the $2,000 cap in this example.

The first offer has no maximum cashout cap. You still need to follow the max-bet rule and finish the wagering requirement before the bonus is cleared.

Second and third deposits: compare the later welcome rewards

The second deposit gives a 200% match up to $1,000, with 50 Free Spins added to the offer. The third deposit increases the match to 250%, also capped at $1,000. Both use 35× wagering on the combined deposit and bonus amount.

Second-deposit calculation

Using a $500 deposit as an example, a 200% match reaches the full $1,000 bonus cap. The combined balance for wagering is $1,500, producing a 35× requirement of $52,500. The max bet remains $8 or 19% of the starting bonus value.

Third-deposit calculation

A $400 deposit at 250% creates a $1,000 bonus, which reaches that offer’s cap. The combined wagering base is $1,400, so the 35× figure is $49,000. These examples show why a higher percentage does not always mean a lower wagering task: the deposit amount sets the combined base.

  • First deposit: 150% up to $2,000, with a $30 minimum deposit.
  • Second deposit: 200% up to $1,000, plus 50 Free Spins.
  • Third deposit: 250% up to $1,000.
  • All three welcome deposits use 35× wagering on deposit plus bonus.
  • The $8 or 19% max-bet rule applies to all three welcome deposits.

Wagering rules: what counts and which bets to avoid

All games contribute 100% towards the welcome-bonus wagering requirement. That gives you flexibility over the game type, but only settled bets count. A bet that is still open does not add to the completed wagering total until it has settled.

The Double or gamble feature bets do not count towards wagering. If you are tracking progress, count settled stakes from eligible game play and leave those feature bets out of your calculation.

Keep the balance above $1 while wagering is open

The bonus is removed if your account balance drops to $1 before the wagering requirement is completed. The safest way to manage the offer is to keep track of both your balance and your settled wagering total.

RuleTermHow to work with it
Wagering calculation35× deposit and bonus combinedAdd the deposit and bonus, then multiply the total by 35
Game contribution100% across all gamesSettled stakes from the games contribute in full
Max bet$8 or 19% of starting bonus valueKeep every bonus bet within the stated limit
Excluded feature betsDouble or gamble feature betsDo not include these stakes in your wagering total
Balance conditionBonus removed at $1 before completionAvoid reaching $1 while wagering is unfinished

A bonus does not remove the normal risk of gambling with real money. Treat the promotion as entertainment, set a budget before you play and only deposit an amount you are comfortable using.

How to activate the welcome bonus in your casino account

Activation takes place inside your casino account. At login, the casino presents three choices: two options to claim a bonus and one option to skip it. Choose the claim option connected to the deposit stage you want to use.

  1. Open registration

    Visit the casino website and select Sign Up or Register. You must be 18 years or older to create an account.

  2. Enter your account details

    Provide your name, email address, date of birth, preferred currency, username and password. Accept the terms and conditions.

  3. Finish registration

    Select Register or Create Account. Verify your email if required, then log in.

  4. Activate the offer

    Open the casino account area and activate the welcome bonus. When the three login choices appear, select one of the two claim options rather than the skip option.

  5. Make the deposit

    For the first offer, deposit at least $30. The available currency options include AUD and NZD, with AUD suitable for Australian account holders.

  6. Play within the rules

    Keep bets within the $8 or 19% max-bet term, count settled bets only and avoid Double or gamble feature bets when working towards the requirement.

Visa, Mastercard, Skrill and Neteller deposits have a $20 minimum and process instantly. Neosurf deposits start at $10, while cryptocurrency deposits such as BTC, LTC, USDT and TRX process instantly. Google Pay and Apple Pay are available for deposits, and bank transfer supports both deposits and withdrawals.

Cashout terms: what the unlimited maximum does and does not cover

The first and second welcome offers have no maximum cashout cap. In practical terms, there is no bonus-specific ceiling on the amount you can cash out from those offers once the wagering requirement has been completed.

The casino still applies general transaction and account limits. The maximum deposit or Withdrawal amount per single transaction is $5,000. Withdrawals are capped at $10,000 per 10-day period and $30,000 per month, with no win limit.

Separate the bonus cap from the payment cap

No maximum cashout on the first and second offer does not remove the $5,000 single-transaction limit or the $10,000 per-10-day and $30,000 monthly withdrawal limits.

Welcome Bonus: your questions

What is the minimum deposit for the first House Of Pokies Casino welcome bonus?

The first-deposit offer requires a minimum deposit of $30. It pays a 150% match, up to a maximum bonus of $2,000.

How is the 35× wagering requirement calculated?

Add your deposit to the bonus amount, then multiply the combined total by 35. For example, a $30 deposit with a $45 bonus creates a $75 base and a $2,625 wagering requirement.

Do all games contribute to the welcome-bonus wagering?

Yes. All games contribute 100%, but only settled bets count. Double or gamble feature bets are excluded from the calculation.

What is the maximum bet while using the welcome bonus?

The maximum bet is $8 or 19% of the starting bonus value. This rule applies across the three welcome deposit offers.

How do I activate the welcome bonus?

Activate it in your casino account after logging in. The casino shows two claim choices and one skip choice, so select the claim option linked to the offer you want.

What happens if my balance reaches $1 before I finish wagering?

The bonus is removed if the balance drops to $1 before the wagering requirement is complete. Keep an eye on your balance while your settled bets are being counted.

Do the first and second welcome offers have a maximum cashout?

Both the first and second offers have no maximum cashout cap. General withdrawal limits still apply, including $5,000 per transaction, $10,000 per 10 days and $30,000 per month.

Can I use AUD for the welcome bonus?

Yes. AUD and NZD are accepted currencies, so Australian players can make the deposit in AUD.
