What a no deposit bonus is, and what it is not
It is a balance of bonus funds, credited on registration or after a verification step, that you may stake but not withdraw. It is not cash, and it does not become cash by being won with. Converting it takes two events in the right order: meeting the turnover requirement inside the stated window, and then withdrawing an amount that sits under the cap.
Operators write it that way for an obvious reason. Money handed to an unverified stranger has to be protected, so the terms attach a multiple and a ceiling. Understanding both is the difference between a bonus worth claiming and a bonus that can never pay out more than the price of a coffee.
Casinos ranked, with every bonus cap in its own terms line
Maximum withdrawals, turnover multiples and expiry windows all sit in the terms toggle under each row.

Free cash and free spins are not the same product
Both are described as no deposit offers and they behave differently at every step. Cash is flexible and carries the heavier turnover. Spins are locked to a title at a stake somebody else chose, and their turnover usually applies to winnings only. Neither is automatically better, but they fail in different ways.
| Step | Cash bonus | Free spins |
|---|---|---|
| What you receive | A bonus balance you may stake across the eligible catalogue | A fixed number of rounds on a title the operator nominates, at a stake it sets |
| Where the turnover applies | Usually to the bonus amount, sometimes to deposit plus bonus, which doubles it | Usually to the winnings only, so a small win means a small requirement |
| How the game choice works | Yours, subject to game weighting and excluded titles | Chosen for you, and the stake is fixed whether it suits the title or not |
| How it is capped | A maximum withdrawal expressed as a multiple of the bonus or the deposit | A flat maximum withdrawal from the spins, applied at cashout |
| How it typically dies | One bet above the maximum bet rule, or the expiry window closing | Daily batches arriving faster than you can clear the turnover on them |
The spin side of that comparison is worked through in detail, with the published spin counts from this table, on the free spins page. What follows here is the cash side, where the caps live.
Why the maximum withdrawal matters more than the bonus amount
Four distinct cap structures appear in the terms supplied for this table, and each one behaves differently as your winnings grow. Reading which structure an offer uses takes ten seconds and tells you more than the headline percentage ever will.
| Cap structure | Quoted from the terms | What it means as your balance grows |
|---|---|---|
| Equal to the bonus | Drakaris: maximum bonus withdrawal equals the bonus amount received | The tightest of the four. A large win is trimmed back to the size of the bonus itself |
| A multiple of the bonus | Atefia: maximum withdrawal 6x the bonus. MegaBet: maximum withdrawal 10x the bonus amount | Scales with the bonus, so a small bonus keeps a small ceiling no matter how the session goes |
| A multiple of the deposit | RedRacer: maximum withdrawal 5x deposit | Scales with your own money instead, which punishes the smallest qualifying deposit hardest |
| A flat amount | WildChance: bonus winnings capped at €500. Luckygem: maximum withdrawal from free spins €300 | Predictable, and completely unrelated to how much you staked to get there |
Put a number through it. Take a hypothetical A$50 bonus with 40 times turnover on the bonus. The requirement is $2,000 of stakes, which is 2,000 spins at $1 or 400 at $5 if the maximum bet rule allows it. Suppose you get to the end with $600 in the balance.
| Cap equal to the bonus | $50 is withdrawable. The remaining $550 is removed at cashout, and the 2,000 spins bought you the price of the bonus. |
|---|---|
| Cap at 6x the bonus | $300 is withdrawable. Half the balance survives, which is a real outcome rather than a token one. |
| Cap at 10x the bonus | $500 is withdrawable and $100 is removed. Close enough to uncapped that the turnover was the real obstacle. |
| No cap, turnover met | $600 is withdrawable. Rare on a no deposit offer, and the reason no-cap offers carry smaller headlines. |
Where the cap is applied
A cap is enforced at the withdrawal request, not while you play. A balance can read $600 in the account for days and still pay out $50, because the cashier applies the term when you ask for the money. This is the single most common surprise in bonus play and it is always written in the terms line.
Wagering is the other half of the sum
A cap decides what you can take. Turnover decides whether you ever get there. Across the terms in this table the multiples run from 3x on deposit and bonus at the low end to 45x and 50x at the high end, and two clauses quietly change the size of the job.
- Bonus only or deposit plus bonus. The same multiple against deposit plus bonus is roughly double the work. The Atefia terms read 35x wagering on deposit and bonus, then 40x on free-spin winnings, which are two separate requirements in one offer.
- Maximum bet while the bonus is live. Several rows cap it at €5. Clearing turnover faster with larger bets is exactly what the clause exists to prevent, and breaching it typically voids the bonus and the winnings.
- The window. Five days at WildChance, seven at Crownslots and Slotsgem, ten at Atefia, fourteen at SkyCrown and PlayBaze. The shortest windows sit on the largest headlines, which is not a coincidence.
- Game weighting. Pokies usually count in full while table games count for a fraction or not at all, so the catalogue you enjoy may not be the catalogue that clears the requirement. The full method is on the wagering requirements guide.
What to do when no operator offers you free credit
The practical substitute for a no deposit bonus is the smallest deposit that still qualifies for an offer, which across most of this table is €20. That converts an unwinnable cap into an ordinary welcome match, and it also gives you something a no deposit bonus never does: a real transaction to test the cashier and the payout queue with.
- 01
Start from the qualifying deposit, not the percentage
The published minimums and the two entries that name none are set out on the no minimum deposit page.
- 02
Prefer a cap you can calculate to a headline you cannot
A 100% match with a 10x cap is a better-defined product than a 390% headline whose terms describe a different structure underneath.
- 03
Consider an offer with no turnover at all
Smaller headline, withdrawable winnings, no clock. Those are collected on the no wagering bonus page.
- 04
Read the registration sequence before you claim
Codes, opt-ins and activation windows are where offers are lost. The order they happen in is on the sign up bonus page.
One point on the law, because it shapes all of this. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 prohibits the supply of online casino games to a person physically in Australia without a licence, and it is aimed at operators rather than at the individual placing a bet. No operator in this table holds an Australian online-casino licence, because no such licence exists for pokies. They are offshore businesses whose bonus terms are the only consumer document you have, which is the entire argument for reading the cap first. The background is on the legal page, and the broader offer comparison is on the welcome bonus page.
Compare the caps, not the headlines
Each row opens the operator's own terms as supplied. The three lines that matter are the maximum withdrawal, the turnover multiple and what that multiple applies to.
