- Your current home address
Sports Bonus or Casino Bonus?
For punters, this is the big call on screen one. The sports bonus is capped at A$150, but it’s cleared at 6x deposit plus bonus over 30 days, using singles at 2.00+ or multis at 1.50+ per leg. The casino package is bigger, but it needs 35x deposit plus bonus within 10 days per stage, and it’s really only practical on pokies.
My take
Most punters will get more from the sports bonus.
Choosing no bonus keeps your deposits free to withdraw once you’ve played them through. Either welcome offer needs a first deposit of at least A$30.
When PowBet Checks Your ID
There’s no document upload at sign-up or deposit. Verification kicks in with your first withdrawal and can cover your identity, balance and the source of your funds. Enter your details exactly as they appear on your ID now, and that first payout goes smoother.
Quick Fixes
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Date of birth won’t take | Use dd/mm/yyyy, so 9 April 1994 is 09/04/1994. |
| Phone number rejected | Drop the leading 0, because +61 is already filled in. 0422 555 000 becomes 422 555 000. |
| Wrong currency | Make sure it says Australian Dollar before you hit Create Account. |
| Changed your mind on the bonus | Use the back arrow before you finish. |
| “Email already registered” | Log in instead of opening a second account. |
