What to check every time
- Wagering requirement and stake weighting
- Maximum cashout from bonus funds
- Excluded or restricted pokies
- Minimum deposit and withdrawal sequencing
- Expiry date and whether cashback is cash or bonus credit
Bonus buys and feature buys
Bonus-buy pokies can speed up the session, but they also increase cost per round. If a site restricts them for bonus funds or certain jurisdictions, the terms should say so clearly.
Cashback should still be readable
We favour cashback offers that show the weekly cut-off, return percentage, wagering rule and any cap in one place. If the rules are split across three pages, assume the offer is weaker than the banner suggests.
