The Three Types
One-Time Challenges
| Task | Coins |
|---|---|
| Play a pokie once at A$0.90 or more | 10 |
| Activate your first bonus | 10 |
| Accumulate 50 coins | 20 |
| Make 500 spins at A$0.90 or more | 30 |
Weekly Casino Challenges
Play 150 spins on a named pokie at A$0.54 or more, for 30 coins each. The games rotate. Recent examples include Majestic Claws – Wild Snow, Majestic King, Legacy of Lost Gold and It’s Shark Time. Complete 20 of the 40 on offer, and you get an extra 500 coins.
Weekly Sport Challenges
Most ask for a single bet on a named competition, such as the English Premier League, Serie A or any football market. Some are looser, such as any type of bet on handball. Bets can be pre-match or live, with a minimum stake of A$27 at odds of 2.0 or more, for 20 coins each. Complete 20, and you get an extra 500 coins before the weekly reset.
What a Week of Challenges Costs
| Casino | Sport | |
|---|---|---|
| Stakes | 20 × 150 spins × A$0.54 = about A$1,620 | 20 bets × A$27 = A$540 |
| Coins | 20 × 30 + 500 bonus = 1,100 | 20 × 20 + 500 bonus = 900 |
| Shop value | A$18 of bonus money | A$18 of bonus money, or an A$18 free bet |
Put simply
A full week of challenges returns roughly 1% to 3% of what you stake.
Useful if you’d have played those games anyway. Poor value if you’re playing specifically for the coins. See what coins buy in the MafiaCasino Shop.
How the Timing Works
Weekly challenges reset every week, and a countdown on the Challenges page shows the time left. Anything unfinished at the reset doesn’t carry over.
The Fine Print Worth Reading
- The 15,000 coin headline is a ceiling, not a typical week. The challenges shown pay 10 to 30 coins each.
- Weekly games change. The named pokies and competitions rotate, so a challenge you liked may be gone next week.
- Sport stakes are high relative to the reward. A$27 per bet for 20 coins is the steepest ratio on the page.
- Read the full terms. The Challenges page and Help Centre explain how coins are credited, so check them before you plan a week around them.
Are Challenges Worth Doing?
My take
Only when they match play you’d do anyway.
The one-time challenges are free coins for things most new players do anyway. The weekly challenges only make sense if the named games or markets are ones you’d play regardless. Changing your play to chase coins costs more than the coins are worth.
Challenges are for players aged 18+. Checklists and countdowns are built to keep you coming back, so skip any challenge that doesn’t fit your normal play and budget. Gambling Help Online is available on 1800 858 858 or at gamblinghelponline.org.au.
