Bets that don’t count
- Cashed-out bets and system bets
- Voided bets
- Bets placed with free bets or bonus funds
- Anything in the Casino, Live Casino or Virtual sections
A withdrawal request before the bonus arrives, or any active withdrawal request, kills your eligibility. The terms don’t say whether the initial qualifying bets also count towards the 6x.
How Many Bets You’ll Need
The A$75 cap and the one-bet-per-event rule set the minimum number of bets:
| Deposit | Bonus | Rollover | Minimum bets at A$75 |
|---|---|---|---|
| A$30 | A$30 | A$360 | 5 |
| A$75 | A$75 | A$900 | 12 |
| A$120 | A$120 | A$1,440 | 20 |
| A$150 | A$150 | A$1,800 | 24 |
Every one of those bets has to be on a different event.
A Month of Footy, Mapped Out
Deposit A$120 at the start of the month:
-
QualifyBet the A$120 at odds of 1.50+, maybe a couple of head-to-head bets on the weekend’s games. Once they settle, A$120 of bonus lands.
-
Roll overNow you need A$1,440 of qualifying turnover, which is at least 20 bets at A$72.
-
Spread it outFive bets a week, each on a different match, gets you there in four weeks, with a couple of days to spare inside the 30 days.
Mind the odds
Short-priced favourites won’t count on their own.
Singles need odds of 2.00 or more. A multi of two legs at 1.50 each clears the bar, and so does a single on an underdog.
Where to Bet the Rollover
PowBet’s Top Leagues list starts with the AFL, NRL, NBL and A-League, and horse racing has its own section in the main menu. Live bets on real events aren’t excluded, so in-play markets count. Virtual sports don’t, and neither does anything you cash out. Keeping each stake at A$75 or less means every dollar counts.
Sports Bonus vs Casino Package
| Sports bonus | Casino package (1st deposit) | |
|---|---|---|
| Headline | 100% up to A$150 | 150% up to A$1,500 + 50 spins |
| Wagering | 6x deposit + bonus | 35x deposit + bonus |
| Time | 30 days | 10 days |
| Sports bets count? | Yes | No |
My take
For anyone who bets most weekends, this is the offer to take.
Compare the casino welcome package if pokies are your main game.
The full T&Cs on PowBet’s site cover further details, so read them before opting in.
This offer is for customers aged 18+. Needing 20 bets across a month can pull you into markets and stakes you wouldn’t normally touch, so keep to your usual staking plan. Gambling Help Online is available on 1800 858 858 or at gamblinghelponline.org.au.
