How the Stay Casino Bonus Structure Works
A deposit match plus free spins on selected pokies, built to give new players more time on the reels and at the tables.
Understanding Your Stay Casino Welcome Package
Last updated: September 29, 2026
New players at Stay Casino are greeted with a welcome package rather than a single flat bonus. It's built from two parts: a match on your deposit and a batch of free spins on selected pokies. The exact percentages, spin counts and maximum amounts are set on our promotions page inside the app and can change, so this page focuses on how the structure works and what to check before you opt in.
The Two Parts of the Package
The first part is a deposit match. You fund your account in AUD using PayID, POLi, a card or one of our supported cryptocurrencies, and we add a percentage of that deposit as bonus funds. The second part is a set of free spins, credited to selected pokies from providers like Pragmatic Play, Nolimit City or Booming Games. Which titles are eligible rotates, so always check the promotions page for the current list before you deposit.
Both parts carry their own conditions. Bonus funds from the deposit match usually sit separately from your cash balance until wagering requirements are cleared. Free spin winnings often land as bonus funds too, rather than withdrawable cash straight away. None of this is unusual for Australian online casinos, but it's worth reading before you opt in, not after.
Why We Don't Quote Numbers Here
Welcome offers get refreshed, tested and occasionally paused, and the figures your mate saw last month might not match what's live today. Rather than print a number on this page that could go stale, we keep the exact match percentage, the maximum bonus amount and the spin count on the in-app promotions page, where it's updated in real time. That's also where you'll find the minimum deposit needed to qualify and any pokie-specific spin values.
What to Look for in the Terms
- Wagering requirement: how many times the bonus (or bonus plus deposit) needs to be played through before withdrawal
- Eligible games: which pokies or live tables count toward wagering, and at what contribution rate
- Time limit: how many days you have to clear the bonus and use free spins before they expire
- Maximum bet: a cap on stake size while a bonus is active, common across Australian-facing casinos
- Withdrawal cap: some offers limit how much bonus-derived winnings you can cash out
These conditions exist to keep the offer sustainable for both the casino and the player, and they're standard practice, not something unique to Stay Casino. The details live in our terms and conditions and are echoed on the promotions page itself, so you're never relying on memory.
Opting In and Making It Count
Most welcome packages need an active opt-in, either at registration or at the deposit screen. If you skip that step, your deposit lands as ordinary cash with no attached bonus, which some players actually prefer if they'd rather avoid wagering requirements altogether. There's no wrong choice here. It depends on whether you want the extra playing credit or a simpler, unrestricted balance.
If you do opt in, treat the free spins and bonus funds as a way to explore new pokies without spending extra of your own money, not as a shortcut to guaranteed winnings. No bonus structure changes the underlying odds of a pokie or a live table. Set a budget for the session regardless of any bonus attached to it.
Free Spins: A Few Practical Notes
Free spins are usually valued at a fixed amount per spin, meaning your winnings depend on the pokie's volatility and the bet value set by the casino, not your own stake size. They typically expire faster than deposit match bonus funds, often within a few days, so it pays to use them soon after they're credited rather than letting them sit.
Play Within Your Means
A welcome package is meant to extend your playing time, not to fund a betting strategy. Only players aged 18 and over may register or deposit at Stay Casino. If gambling stops being fun or starts affecting your finances, work or relationships, Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858, https://www.gamblinghelponline.org.au/) offers free, confidential support across Australia, and our responsible gaming page has tools to set deposit limits, time-outs or self-exclusion directly on your account.
For the full game library that free spins draw from, see Pokies and Games. To fund your account with PayID, POLi, cards or crypto, check Payments. Once you're ready to claim the current welcome package, head to Register and confirm the live offer on the promotions page after signup.
Understanding Your Stay Casino Welcome Package
Where do I find the exact welcome bonus amount for Stay Casino?
The current deposit match percentage, maximum bonus amount and free spin count are listed on the promotions page inside your account, since offers are updated from time to time. This page explains how the structure works generally.
Do I need a promo code to claim the welcome package?
Some offers need a simple opt-in at registration or deposit, others may use a code shown on the promotions page. Follow the instructions on the specific offer card you see when you log in.
Can I withdraw free spin winnings straight away?
Usually not immediately. Free spin winnings typically convert to bonus funds first and need to clear the stated wagering requirement before they become withdrawable cash. Check the terms attached to the specific offer.
What happens if I don't opt in to the bonus?
Your deposit is simply treated as regular cash with no wagering requirement attached. That's a valid choice if you'd rather withdraw freely without meeting bonus conditions.
Is there an age or location requirement to claim a bonus?
Yes. You must be 18 or older and meet Stay Casino's eligibility requirements for Australian players. If you're concerned about your gambling habits, Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858, https://www.gamblinghelponline.org.au/) is available for free support.
