How the Richard Bonus Package Works

Every bonus at Richard, from the first-deposit package to a Friday reload or a free spins drop on a new Pragmatic Play or Nolimit City title, comes with terms that decide how usable it actually is. We keep the full breakdown, including exact percentages, minimum deposits and wagering multipliers, on the dedicated promo terms page rather than scattering half-versions of them across the site. That page is the one place the numbers are guaranteed to be current, because promo terms can change between campaigns and we update that page first.

What the welcome package usually includes

New Richard accounts are eligible for a welcome package structured around your first deposit, or first few deposits, in AUD. Depending on the campaign running at the time, this can include a matched percentage on your deposit and a batch of free spins on a selected pokie. We don't print specific percentages or dollar caps here because those figures are set on the bonus terms page and are the ones we actually apply at cashier level, so that's the version to trust. T&Cs apply to every welcome offer.

• A first-deposit match, credited to a separate bonus balance rather than blended into your cash balance
• Free spins on selected pokies, usually credited in stages rather than all at once
• A minimum deposit threshold, paid via PayID, POLi, Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Tether, Neosurf or bank transfer
• A wagering requirement attached to the bonus amount, and sometimes to the deposit itself
• An expiry window, after which unused bonus funds or spins are removed from the account

Ongoing promotions

Beyond the welcome package, Richard runs reload bonuses and free spins offers on a rotating basis. These are typically tied to a specific day of the week, a specific payment method, or a new game launch from providers like BGaming, Booming Games or Playson. Some are opt-in through the promotions tab in your account, others are applied automatically to your next qualifying deposit. Because these change often, we don't lock exact figures into this page. What we can say is that every one of them, without exception, carries its own wagering requirement and expiry, published in full on the terms page at the time the promo goes live.

How claiming actually works

If a bonus requires opt-in, you'll see the option in your account dashboard or cashier before you deposit. Confirm the deposit method qualifies. Not every payment rail is eligible for every promo, and Neosurf or crypto deposits sometimes sit outside standard matched bonuses because of how they process. Once the deposit clears, the bonus funds or spins land in a separate balance with its own wagering meter. You'll usually be able to track progress toward the wagering requirement from inside your account, so you always know how far off a withdrawal you are.

• Log in and check the promotions tab for the current welcome offer or reload bonus
• Opt in before depositing if the promo requires it
• Deposit using an eligible AUD payment method
• Track wagering progress from your account balance page
• Withdraw only once wagering is cleared and any minimum odds or game restrictions have been met

VIP-linked bonuses

Players in the Richard VIP Club sometimes receive tailored deposit bonuses or bespoke free spins batches as part of their tier benefits. These follow the same rule as every other promo on this site: wagering, expiry and eligible games are set out in writing before you accept, and T&Cs apply. Details on tier structure and how VIP status is earned sit on the VIP Club page, not here.

Play within your means

A bonus is a way to get more time on the tables and reels, not a way to guarantee a return. Set a deposit limit before you claim anything, and treat wagering requirements as part of the cost of the offer, not an afterthought. You must be 18 or over to hold a Richard account.
