The Three Stages
| Stage | Match | Max bonus | Free spins |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st deposit | 150% | A$1,500 | 50 |
| 2nd deposit | 50% | A$1,000 | 50 |
| 3rd deposit | 50% | A$1,500 | 50 |
To max out each stage, you’d deposit A$1,000, then A$2,000, then A$3,000. Your deposit, the bonus, the free spins and your withdrawable cash are tracked separately. Bonus money only turns into cash once the wagering is done.
More Terms
- Order: your real money is wagered before bonus money.
- Excluded payments: Neteller and Skrill.
- Withdrawals: a withdrawal request before claiming, or after activating, voids the bonus.
- Claim timing: before any bet with the qualifying deposit.
- One at a time: starting another bonus, or claiming free spins mid-bonus, removes the current one and its winnings.
What Counts Towards Wagering
| Games | Contribution |
|---|---|
| Pokies (except those below), scratch cards, keno | 100% |
| Live games | 10% |
| Video poker | 10% |
| Plinko | 10% |
| Table and card games | 0% |
| Jackpot pokies, Slingo, bingo | Not playable with bonus funds |
Sports bets count for nothing
A A$100 round on Crazy Time moves the meter by just A$10.
Neither your sports betting nor most of what makes PowBet’s live casino appealing helps clear this bonus.
Worked Example: A$70 First Deposit
A$70 first deposit
- Bonus: 150% of A$70 = A$105
- Balance: A$175
- Wagering: A$175 × 35 = A$6,125
- Pace: about A$613 a day for 10 days
- At A$1 a spin: roughly 6,125 spins on pokies
- Most you can convert: 10 × A$105 = A$1,050
The free spins run separately. A A$16 win needs A$640 in wagering (40x), and no more than A$75 can be converted.
Casino Package vs Sports Bonus
| Casino package (1st deposit) | Sports bonus | |

Should a Punter Take It?
Only if you’re really here for the pokies. The 10x conversion cap leaves headroom for a good run, and you can cancel from your profile at any time. But 35x on deposit plus bonus in 10 days is heavy, and none of your sports betting or live casino play will help clear it.
The full T&Cs on PowBet’s site cover further details, so read them before claiming.
PowBet is for adults 18+. A 35x target on a 10 day clock can push up stakes and session lengths fast, so set your limits before you opt in. Gambling Help Online offers support on 1800 858 858 or at gamblinghelponline.org.au.
