A plain-English summary only. Where it differs from the casino’s full bonus terms, shown when you sign up, the casino’s terms apply.

What does wagering actually mean?

A bonus arrives as bonus funds: money you can play with but not withdraw. To turn it, and anything it wins, into cash you can take out, you place bets that add up to a multiple of the bonus. For the RubyReels welcome bonus that multiple is 40x, on both the bonus and the free spins. A bet counts once, win or lose; it is the total you stake that matters.

A worked example

Deposit A$200 and the 100% match adds a A$200 bonus. At 40 times the bonus, you need A$8,000 in bets before it becomes withdrawable: 4,000 spins at A$2, or 8,000 at A$1. Free spin winnings are treated the same way, so A$20 won from free spins means another A$800 of wagering. The requirement scales with the bonus, so decide on the deposit with the wagering in mind, not just the match.

How the free spins work

The first deposit comes with 100 free spins on Elvis Frog Trueways, 20 a day for 5 days. Whatever they win is bonus money, under the same wagering and 7 days limit as the matched bonus. A day’s batch you don’t log in for is not carried over, so play each one.

The time limit

You have 7 days from the moment the bonus is credited to complete its wagering. After that, unused bonus funds and their winnings expire. If the deadline is close and you are a long way short, let it lapse: raising your stakes to catch up is how a bonus turns into a loss.

Win caps, and why they are in euros

Winnings from the welcome offer are capped: €200 or equivalent from the free spins and €1,000 or equivalent from bonus money. RubyReels sets its caps in euros for every currency it accepts, so for an Australian dollar account the cap is the A$ equivalent at the time and moves a little with the exchange rate.

Wagering on each promotion

Not every RubyReels offer carries the same multiple. Across the current promotions:

• 40x: Welcome and crypto packages; Wheel of Fortune; Wednesday free spins; Thursday tournament; Saturday spins.
• 35x: Tuesday reload; Friday refill; Sunday spins.
• 1x: Monday cashback.
• None: Drops & Wins cash prizes.

Cash balance and bonus balance

With a bonus active, your money sits in two pots: the cash you deposited and the bonus funds. The full terms say which pot your bets come from first and what happens to each if you cancel the bonus or withdraw early. If that isn’t clear to you, ask live chat before you start playing rather than after.

Which games count

Game types don’t all contribute equally. Pokies normally count in full towards wagering, while table games, live dealer games and video poker count for less or nothing at all. The casino’s full bonus terms, shown when you sign up list each game type’s contribution and any games that are off-limits while a bonus is active.

What if I withdraw before the wagering is complete?

You can ask to withdraw at any time, but doing it early normally cancels the bonus and whatever it has won. Check the wagering progress in the lobby, or ask live chat how much is left, before you request a payout.

Cashing out

Once the wagering is finished, what is left is yours to withdraw. The first withdrawal on a new account includes an identity check, so have your ID and proof of address uploaded before you need them, and where you can, withdraw to the method you deposited with.
