Our welcome bonus for new players
Our Holspin welcome bonus is the first offer a new player in Australia meets after signing up. Holspin bonuses are built around pokies, so the extra funds and spins you receive are meant to be played on the games we carry. Every offer has its own terms, and we keep them readable before you opt in.
Holspin promotions are designed for adults only, so you must be 18+ to join in. Treat any bonus as extra entertainment time, never as a way to earn money. If you ever feel the play is no longer fun, our responsible gambling tools are one tap away.
What to check before you claim
Read three things on every offer: the wagering requirement, the games that count towards it and the time you have to use it. These details decide how useful a bonus really is. A larger headline offer with a heavy play-through can be worth less than a modest one with fair terms.
Each promotion also lists whether the bonus is sticky or non-sticky. A sticky bonus stays locked until the requirement is met, while a non-sticky one lets you play with your own funds first. Knowing which type you hold changes how you should pace your session.
Current promotions at a glance
What a promotion looks like with us
Every offer we run follows the same shape. There is a headline, a short description of who can take it, and a set of terms that sit one click away. We keep that structure the same from one offer to the next so you can compare them quickly without hunting for the fine print. Read the terms before you opt in, because they decide how the offer behaves once you start playing.
Most promotions for Australia players are tied to a deposit, to a set of pokies, or to a time window. Some are open to every account, while others are reserved for players who have reached a certain level in our loyalty ladder. The promotions page always shows which group an offer belongs to, so you never claim something you are not eligible for.
Our welcome bonus is the first offer most new members meet, and it is the one we recommend reading slowly. It lays out the deposit step, the play-through step and the expiry in plain order. Once you understand that single offer, every other promotion on the page becomes easier to read.
Choosing between offers
You do not have to take every promotion that appears. A sensible approach is to pick the one that suits the way you already play. If you enjoy short sessions on pokies, a free spins offer may fit better than a large deposit bonus. If you play for longer stretches, a reload offer may give you more value across the week.
Think about three things before you opt in: how long the offer lasts, which games count toward it, and how much of your balance is locked until the terms are met. Offers that look generous on the surface can carry heavier conditions underneath. Matching the offer to your habits is the simplest way to avoid disappointment.
If you are unsure, our live chat team can walk you through any offer on the page. Ask before you claim, not after, because a bonus that has been activated cannot always be undone. We would rather answer one extra question than see a player surprised by a condition they missed.
Bonus types you will meet
Most Holspin promotions fall into a handful of familiar families. Knowing them helps you pick the offer that suits the way you play pokies.
- Deposit bonus: extra funds added after you make a qualifying deposit.
- Free spins: a set of spins on a chosen pokie, often tied to a deposit.
- Reload offers: smaller boosts for returning players, sometimes on a weekly rhythm.
- Tournament prizes: leaderboard rewards for players who climb the ranks on selected games.
- Loyalty rewards: perks that grow as you keep playing and moving up the VIP Club.
How the types differ in practice
A deposit bonus asks you to add funds first, so it suits players who already planned to play. Free spins are narrower, because they run on one game and one stake level. Tournaments add a competitive edge, since results depend on how you play against others rather than on a fixed reward.
Loyalty rewards work quietly in the background. You do not need to chase them, and they simply recognise regular play over time. Pick the type that fits your habits, and ignore the rest.
Matching a type to your style
Each kind of bonus suits a different kind of player. Deposit-based offers reward you for adding funds and usually come with a play-through. Free spins give you a set number of rounds on chosen pokies, which suits players who like a defined, low-effort start. Reload offers return to existing members and reward regular play across the week.
Loyalty-style rewards sit alongside these. They build up as you play and can unlock extra perks over time, which suits players who stay for the long term. None of these types is better than the others in every case. The right one is simply the one that matches how often and how long you play.
Whichever type you pick, check the expiry and the eligible games first. Those two details do most of the work in deciding whether an offer is worth your time, and they are always listed with the offer itself.

Where each offer fits
The table above gathers the main facts about our offers into a single view. Use it as a map rather than a rulebook. It tells you which kind of offer you are looking at, while the full terms behind each one tell you how it works in detail. Treat the table as the quick answer and the terms as the final word.
Our welcome bonus is aimed at new accounts and sits at the top of the list for that reason. Other offers, such as free spins and reload promotions, are meant for players who have already settled in. Knowing which group an offer belongs to helps you decide whether it is worth your time on a given day.
Because promotions change, the page is the place to check for what is live right now. An offer you saw last month may have ended, and a new one may have replaced it. Looking at the page before you deposit is a small habit that keeps your expectations in line with what is actually available.
Reading the terms with confidence
Terms can look dense at first, but they follow a predictable pattern. There is almost always a section on eligibility, a section on how the bonus is used, and a section on what happens when it expires. Once you recognise that pattern, reading a new offer takes a minute rather than ten.
Look for words that limit what you can do, such as maximum bet, excluded games and time limit. These phrases tell you where the edges of the offer are. If a term seems unusual, ask our support team to explain it in everyday words. A good offer is one you understand before you accept it.
Finally, remember that bonuses are an optional extra, not a requirement. You can play on our site without claiming a single promotion. If the terms do not suit you, skipping the offer is a perfectly sound choice, and your account works exactly as it would otherwise.
How to claim a promotion
Create your account
Sign up with accurate details so your bonus can be credited without delay later on.
Choose an offer
Open the promotion you like and read its terms, wagering and eligible games first.
Opt in and play
Follow the prompt to activate the bonus, then play the pokies it applies to.
Before you press the button
Claiming an offer takes only a few moments, but a short check first saves trouble later. Confirm that you are logged in to the right account, that your details are complete, and that you are playing from Australia. Offers are matched to the market a player belongs to, so an offer shown to one region may not appear for another.
Next, open the offer and read its terms from top to bottom. Pay attention to the expiry, the list of eligible games, and any limit on how much you can win from the bonus. These three lines tell you most of what you need to know. If anything is unclear, our live chat is the fastest way to get a straight answer from a real person.
When you are ready, use the opt-in button on the offer. Many promotions will not apply automatically, and a deposit made without opting in may not trigger the reward. Opting in first and depositing second is the safest order for almost every offer we run.
What to do if a bonus does not appear
Occasionally a bonus does not show up straight away. The most common reason is that the opt-in step was skipped or the deposit did not meet the offer's conditions. Check the terms once more, then look at the bonus section of your account to see whether the reward is waiting there.
If it is still missing, contact us through live chat and describe what you did and when. Having the time of your deposit and the name of the offer to hand makes the conversation quicker. We look at each case individually and explain what happened in plain language, so you know where you stand.
It also helps to keep a note of the offers you have activated. When several promotions run at once, it is easy to forget which one is attached to your balance. A quick look at your active bonuses before you play keeps everything clear and avoids mixing offers by accident.
Understanding wagering requirements
A wagering requirement is the amount you must play through before bonus funds become withdrawable. For example, a bonus of AUD 100 with a 35x wagering requirement means AUD 3,500 must be played through before cashing out. Different games contribute different shares, and pokies usually count in full.
Keeping your play in control
Set a budget before you opt in and stay inside it, whatever the offer says. Bonuses are an optional extra, and skipping one is always fine. If the terms feel too heavy for the way you like to play, simply decline the offer and use your own funds.
Our live chat team can explain any term you are unsure about before you commit. Asking first costs nothing and avoids surprises later.
How play-through works
A wagering requirement is the amount you must stake before bonus funds can be treated as your own. It is written as a multiple. For example, a bonus of AUD 50 with a 30x wagering requirement means AUD 1,500 in total bets must be played through before the balance can be withdrawn. The higher the multiple, the longer the play-through takes.
Not every bet counts equally. Pokies often count in full, while some table games count for only a portion, or not at all. That is why the list of eligible games matters just as much as the multiple itself. Always check which games contribute before you start, so your play counts toward the goal.
Time matters as well. Most offers carry an expiry, and unfinished wagering is usually forfeited along with the bonus when the clock runs out. Plan your sessions so you can realistically complete the requirement within the period shown, rather than rushing at the last moment.
Sticky and non-sticky bonuses
Players often ask whether a bonus is sticky or non-sticky. A sticky bonus stays in your account as a locked amount and is removed when you withdraw. A non-sticky bonus works differently: your own deposit is played first, and the bonus only comes into play afterwards. The terms of each offer state which type applies.
This difference changes how you should play. With a non-sticky offer, you can win with your own money and cash out before touching the bonus, if you choose. With a sticky offer, the bonus is part of the journey from the start. Reading this line in the terms tells you a great deal about how the offer will feel.
If you want to keep things simple, choose offers whose terms you can summarise in a sentence or two. A clear offer is easier to manage and leaves less room for surprises. Our team is happy to explain any wagering term in plain English before you decide.
