If you drop $44 into Auspin168 and they’re offering a 100% match bonus, you’ll end up with $88 in your balance — not bad to get started. But like most online casinos, there’s a catch: you’ve got to meet the wagering requirements before you can withdraw anything. Now, this is where it gets a bit full on. Most sites ask you to wager the bonus 30 to 40 times, and sometimes they count both your deposit and the bonus. So if the wagering is on the bonus only, you’d need to place bets totalling around $1,760. If it’s on the whole $88, you’re looking at $3,520 worth of bets before you can touch any winnings.

When you’re working through that much turnover, you’ll want to stick to games that help you clear it faster. Pokies are usually your best bet, since they count 100%. Games like blackjack or roulette usually don’t help much. And betting smaller amounts will help your balance last longer. In the end, even though the bonus sounds generous, meeting the wagering is no easy task. It’s doable, sure, but you’ll need a bit of luck and a lot of spins. If you’re in it for the fun and don’t mind the grind, go for it. But if you’re chasing quick cashouts, this deal might not be the best value around.
