Bonus types we run for Australia
We start every new account with the Holspin welcome bonus, and it is the first of several offer types we run for players in Australia. Each type works differently, so the sections below explain how it behaves before you claim it. We never hide the conditions behind the headline.
Some offers add extra funds to your balance, some hand you rounds on selected pokies, and some reward regular play. Reading the terms first saves you from surprises later. If a rule is unclear, our live chat can walk you through it.
Why the type matters
A bonus is more than a number on a banner. The type decides which games count, how quickly you can use the funds and what you must do before a win becomes withdrawable. Two offers that look alike can behave very differently once you start playing, and a short read of the terms makes that visible. Spend a minute on them before every claim, and treat the terms as part of the offer itself.
The bonus types at a glance
What each type does
- Welcome bonus: the offer that greets a newly registered player on the first deposit.
- Deposit bonus: extra funds added when you top up, usually tied to a minimum amount.
- Free spins: rounds on chosen pokies that carry their own stake value and rules.
- Loyalty and VIP rewards: perks that grow as you keep playing with us over time.
- Tournament prizes: leaderboard rewards for players who climb a pokies race.
Every item above has its own conditions, so check the offer card before you opt in. We keep the wording plain so you can compare the types quickly and pick the one that suits how you play. Your choice should follow your style, not the size of a banner.

The welcome bonus and what comes with it
The welcome bonus is the first offer most new players meet, and it is designed to give a new account a friendly start. It normally ties to a first deposit, though the exact structure and conditions are set out on our promotions page. Read those conditions before you deposit so the offer matches how you like to play.
A welcome bonus often arrives alongside free spins, which are rounds on selected pokies that carry no extra cost to you. Free spins have their own rules, including which game they apply to and how winnings from them are treated. Always check whether winnings carry wagering requirements before you plan to withdraw anything.
The best way to judge any welcome offer is to ask three questions. How long do I have to use it? Which games count fully toward the requirements? Is there a cap on what I can withdraw from bonus winnings? Honest answers to those questions tell you more than any headline.
Deposit bonuses, free spins and no deposit offers
A deposit bonus adds extra funds to your balance when you top up your account. The size and the conditions vary from offer to offer, so each one deserves its own careful read. A deposit bonus suits players who already plan to deposit and want a little more room to explore the pokies floor.
Free spins are the simplest type to understand. You spin a chosen game a set number of times, and any result is credited under the stated terms. They are a relaxed way to try a new title, especially if you want to see how its volatility and features behave before you commit your own funds.
A no deposit offer needs no top-up at all, which makes it attractive to players who want to test the site first. Such offers are usually small and come with firm conditions, so treat them as a trial rather than a route to a big result. Look for the bonus code, where one is required, and enter it exactly as shown.
Understanding wagering and sticky or non-sticky bonuses
Wagering requirements describe how many times a bonus amount must be played through before related winnings can be withdrawn. A lower multiple is easier to clear, while a higher one asks for more play. Our wagering requirements page explains how these conditions work in more depth, so it is worth a visit before you opt in.
Bonuses are often described as sticky or non-sticky. With a sticky bonus, the bonus amount stays in your balance and is removed when you withdraw. With a non-sticky bonus, your own funds are used first, and the bonus only comes into play if your real balance runs out. Knowing which type you hold changes how you should play.
Neither type is better in every case. A non-sticky bonus gives you a chance to win with your own money before touching the bonus, while a sticky one can give a larger playing balance from the start. Choose the style that suits your budget and your appetite for risk.
Welcome bonus and free spins
The Holspin welcome bonus is our opening offer for new accounts. It is meant to give you more room to explore the pokies floor from your very first session. Wagering conditions apply, and they are shown on the offer before you accept it.
How Holspin free spins work
Holspin free spins are tied to specific pokies, so you play the rounds on the games the offer names. Winnings from them usually carry their own rollover before you can withdraw. Check the expiry date as well, because unused rounds do not wait forever. Our selection covers titles such as Sweet Bonanza and Gates of Olympus, and the offer card lists exactly which ones apply.
Sticky and non-sticky funds
Some bonuses keep the bonus balance locked until the terms are met, while others use your own cash first. The offer card says which applies. Knowing this in advance tells you how your real money and bonus funds are spent during play, and it avoids confusion at the moment you want to cash out.
Rewards for regular players
Beyond the first deposit, we reward players who keep coming back. VIP perks and tournament prizes reward steady play, and each has terms you can read before joining.
See current promotionsRecurring offers and weekly promotions
Regular play opens the door to offers that run beyond the first deposit. Players across Australia tell us they value promotions that return on a rhythm they can plan around, rather than a single burst of rewards. Our promotions page lists what is running right now, so you always see the current picture before you commit to anything.
Each recurring offer has its own terms, and those terms matter more than the headline. Before you opt in, read the wagering conditions, the eligible games and the time window attached to it. A short check at the start saves surprises later and keeps your sessions enjoyable and predictable.
If you already enjoy our pokies, a recurring offer can add extra value to the games you were going to play anyway. If you prefer table-style play, check whether the offer counts toward those games at all, because contribution rules often differ between categories.
Loyalty and the VIP Club
Loyal play can also be recognised through a VIP-style programme. The idea is simple: the more consistently you play, the more recognition you can earn over time. Perks in programmes like this usually take the form of tailored offers, faster attention from support and invitations to special events or tournaments.
We encourage you to treat loyalty rewards as a pleasant extra and never as a reason to play more than you planned. Set your own budget first, then see whether a loyalty perk fits inside it. That order keeps the fun in front and the pressure out of the picture.
Tournaments are another way regular players can add excitement. They usually run for a set period, rank players on a leaderboard and reward the top places. Read the entry rules carefully, since they explain how points are counted and which games take part.
How to keep track of what you have
Active offers can overlap, and it helps to know which one is currently in use. Check your account before you start a session, note any wagering progress and see when each offer ends. Our live chat team can clarify anything that looks unclear, so you never have to guess about the terms that apply to you.
Keeping a simple note of the offers you have opted into is a good habit. It stops you from forgetting an expiry date and helps you decide which offer deserves your attention first. A tidy approach to bonuses makes the whole experience calmer and more transparent.
How to claim a bonus
Create your account
Register with accurate details so your account is ready for any offer you pick.
Choose an offer
Open our promotions page and read the conditions on the bonus that suits your play.
Opt in and play
Accept the offer, make any qualifying deposit and start on the eligible pokies.
Before you begin: check the terms
Claiming a bonus works best when you start with the conditions, not the button. Open the offer on our promotions page and read the eligibility, the time limit and the wagering requirements. That small habit protects you from missing a deadline or using the wrong game for the offer.
Make sure your account details are complete and correct, since missing information can slow things down later. Players in Australia should also confirm they meet the legal age of 18+, which applies to every part of our site. If anything is unclear, our live chat team can walk you through it quickly.
Decide in advance how much you are comfortable spending. A bonus should fit inside your normal budget and never change it. Setting that limit before you click anything keeps your decisions calm and your play enjoyable.
Using a bonus code when one is required
Some offers need a code, and some apply automatically. When a code is needed, it is shown next to the offer, and you enter it in the field provided during opt-in or at the deposit step. Type it exactly as written, because a missing character stops the offer from applying.
If you enter a code and the bonus does not appear, check three things first. Confirm the offer is still active, confirm you meet its conditions and confirm you used the right step in the process. If it still does not appear, contact support before you play, since claims are easier to sort out before a session begins.
Never share a code you were given personally, and never trust a code from an unofficial source. Our promotions page is the reliable place to find what is currently available, so start there each time.
After you claim: tracking and finishing the offer
Once the bonus is active, keep an eye on your wagering progress and the expiry date. Many players lose value simply by forgetting a deadline, so a quick check before each session is worthwhile. Games contribute to wagering in different ways, so focus on titles that count fully toward your requirement.
When the requirement is met, your eligible winnings become available under the stated terms. Review the withdrawal conditions before you request a payout, since some offers carry limits. Taking a moment to confirm the rules means fewer surprises and a smoother experience from start to finish.
Playing bonuses responsibly
Bonuses are extra entertainment, not income. Set a budget before you claim anything and keep to it, whatever the offer promises. Playing is for adults aged 18+ only, and our responsible gambling tools are there if you want limits or a break.
Keep control of your play
A generous offer should never push you to stake more than planned. If wagering feels like pressure, step away and come back later. We would rather you enjoy a smaller session than chase a requirement. Taking regular breaks, tracking your spend and treating every bonus as optional keeps the experience fun for the long run.
Set limits before you start
Bonuses are meant to add enjoyment, and they work best when you stay firmly in charge. Before you opt into any offer, decide how much time and money you are happy to spend, and write that number down. Treat it as a fixed boundary rather than a suggestion you can bend when a session gets exciting.
Deposit limits, session reminders and time-outs are practical tools that help you keep to that boundary. Our responsible gambling page explains the options available and how to use them. Using these tools early is a sign of good habits, not a sign of trouble, and many sensible players rely on them.
A bonus never has to be accepted. If the terms feel too demanding or the wagering seems too heavy for your style of play, simply skip the offer. Choosing not to opt in is always a perfectly good decision.
Spotting when to take a break
Watch for signs that play has stopped being fun. Chasing losses, spending more than planned or feeling anxious about a session are all signals to step back. Taking a break, even a short one, gives you space to think clearly and decide what you actually want from your time on the site.
If you feel you need more than a pause, self-exclusion and cool-off options are there for exactly that purpose. Support is available through live chat, and you can reach out at any time without feeling embarrassed. Players in Australia can also use independent support services that offer free, confidential help.
Remember that gambling is meant for adults aged 18 and over, and it should always be treated as entertainment rather than a way to earn money. Keep that perspective, enjoy the games and look after yourself first.
