918Laki Welcome Pack: Bonus and Free Spin Rules

The 918Laki Welcome Pack gives a new player a bonus on each of the first three deposits, starting with 50% extra and 10 free spins on the first. Each bonus must be played 8 times on pokies before you can withdraw. The Promotions page shows the terms and is the final word.

Read this first

Everything on this page describes the terms shown on the Promotions page. That page is the final word. If a figure there is different from what you read here, the Promotions page is right. Check it on the day you deposit.

A bonus is not free money. It is extra balance that comes with a rule: you must place a set amount of bets before you can cash out. This page explains that rule in plain words, so you can decide whether the pack suits you. You are also free to say no to it.

The Welcome Pack at a glance

The pack is spread over your first three deposits. It is not one big bonus on day one.

  1. First deposit: 50% extra, up to K50.
  2. Second deposit: 30% extra, up to K30, if you make it within 3 days of joining.
  3. Third deposit: 20% extra, up to K20, if you make it within 7 days of joining.
  4. Free spins: 10 spins on State of Origin with each of those deposits, when the deposit is K20 or more.
  5. Lowest deposit that earns a bonus: K10.
  6. Turnover: 8 times each bonus, and 5 times any free-spin winnings.
  7. Pokies only. One pack per person.

Added together, the most free spins you can get from the pack is 30.

The three deposits, one by one

First deposit: 50% up to K50

On your first deposit, the site adds 50% of what you paid in as bonus. The bonus stops growing at K50. Once the bonus has reached that figure, paying in more does not make it bigger.

A made-up example: say your first deposit is K40. With the figures shown today, the bonus is K20, so you start with K60 in your balance. This is only an example to show the sum.

Second deposit: 30% up to K30

The second part works the same way with smaller figures. The site adds 30% of your second deposit, up to K30.

There is a time rule. The second deposit must be made within 3 days of joining. The clock starts when you open your account, not when you make your first deposit. If you join today and wait too long, this part of the pack is gone.

Third deposit: 20% up to K20

The third part adds 20% of your third deposit, up to K20. It must be made within 7 days of joining. Again, the days are counted from the day you joined.

You do not have to take all three parts. Each one is its own choice on its own deposit. Taking the first does not force you to make a second or third deposit.

A small deposit next to a larger one

Here is one more example with made-up amounts and today's figures, to show how the three shares differ. Say a player pays in K50 each time and is inside the time rules each time.

On the first deposit the bonus is K25. On the second it is K15. On the third it is K10. The share gets smaller with each deposit, so the first one adds the most.

None of this is a reason to make three deposits. It only shows what each part would add if you were going to deposit anyway.

The lowest deposit that counts

A deposit must be at least K10 to earn a pack bonus. A small deposit earns a small bonus, because the bonus is a share of what you pay in. That is fine. A small bonus also means a small turnover amount to play through.

Do not deposit more just to fill the bonus

The "up to" figures are limits, not targets. Deposit what you had already planned to spend, and take whatever bonus that gives. Paying in more than you can spare to reach the top figure turns a small extra into a real cost. Fortnight pay has other jobs first.

The free spins

A free spin is one spin of the reels that does not take money from your balance. The site sets the bet size for it. What it wins is added for you.

How you earn them

You get 10 free spins with each of your three pack deposits, as long as that deposit is K20 or more. A deposit below K20 can still earn the bonus part, but it comes without spins.

Three deposits of that size or more, made inside the time rules, give the full 30 spins.

Where they are played

The spins are for one game: State of Origin. It is an old-school rugby league pokie from our own Australian Club range, with free games and a red or black gamble. Each free spin is worth K0.30. You cannot move the spins to a different game or change the bet size.

If you want to know the game before you use the spins, read how the State of Origin pokie plays.

What happens to what the spins win

Free-spin winnings come with their own turnover. You must play them 5 times on pokies before that money can be withdrawn. A spin can also win nothing. In that case there is nothing to play through.

Turnover in plain words

Turnover is the total of all your bets, added up. Wins and losses both count. It is not the amount you have lost.

If you bet a small amount on a spin, that amount is added to your turnover whether the spin wins or not. Spin again, and it is added again. Turnover only ever goes up as you play.

What the pack asks for

Each pack bonus must be played 8 times. That means your bets on pokies must add up to 8 times the bonus amount before you can withdraw. For free-spin winnings the figure is 5 times.

The pack rule is counted on the bonus, not on your deposit plus the bonus. Keep in mind that a deposit can carry a turnover amount of its own as well. The Withdraw page shows your real total.

A worked example

This is an example with made-up amounts, using the figures shown today. Say your first deposit is K40.

The bonus is 50% of K40, which is K20. Your balance is K60.

The bonus must be played 8 times. In this example that is K160 of bets on pokies.

Because the deposit in this example is above K20, you also get 10 free spins on State of Origin. Say, for the example, they win K6 in total. Those winnings must be played 5 times, which is K30 of bets.

Bets of K160 does not mean you lose K160. If you bet K1 a spin, it means 160 spins. Some spins win and some lose, and your balance moves up and down as you go. But it also does not mean your balance will last that long. It can run out first. Nobody can tell you how it will end.

How to see what is left

You do not need to keep count on paper. The Withdraw page shows a card with a progress bar: how much you have played, of how much, and how much is left. The withdraw button stays grey until the turnover is finished. Play is counted a short time after each bet, so the bar can be a little behind.

For the full picture, including what happens when a withdrawal is refused, read turnover explained.

Pokies only, and one pack per person

Which games count

The pack is for pokies. Bets on pokies count toward the turnover. Bets on live dealer tables, sports and other kinds of games are not what this bonus is for. If you mostly want to play those, deposit without the pack.

If you are not sure whether a game counts, look at the Promotions page or ask Live chat before you start, not after.

One per person

Each person can have the Welcome Pack once. Each person can also have only one account, as the guide to joining explains. Opening more accounts to take the pack again is against the rules.

Three questions to ask yourself first

The pack suits some players and not others. These questions help you choose before you reach the deposit page.

Do I want to play pokies?

The pack is built around pokies, and its free spins are on a single pokie. A player who came for the live tables or for sports gets little from it.

Am I happy to keep playing for a while?

Turnover takes many spins to finish. If your plan is a short session and a quick cash-out after a win, a deposit with no bonus fits that plan more closely.

Is this deposit money I can spare?

A bonus does not make a deposit less of a cost. If the Kina is needed for food, rent, school fees or family, the answer is no deposit at all, with or without a pack.

How to take the pack, or skip it

You make the choice on the deposit page, each time you deposit.

  1. Log in and tap Deposit.
  2. Choose your bank and type the amount.
  3. The page asks you to choose a bonus or no bonus. Pick the Welcome Pack if you want it. Pick no bonus if you do not.
  4. Finish the deposit as the page tells you.

Why someone would skip it

With no bonus, you have less to play with but there is no pack turnover to finish. That suits a player who wants to cash out a win early, or who wants to play games other than pokies.

With the bonus, you get more spins for your deposit, but you agree to keep playing until the turnover is done. Neither choice is wrong. You can always deposit with no bonus.

Common mistakes

Trying to withdraw before the turnover is done

This is the most common one. The withdrawal is refused, and the message shows how much is left to play. Nothing is broken. Finish the turnover, then ask again. The steps for cashing out are in how to withdraw.

Missing the days

The second deposit has 3 days from joining and the third has 7 days from joining. A player who joins and makes a first deposit several days later may find the second part has already passed.

Depositing just under the spin amount

The spins need a deposit of K20 or more. A deposit just below that earns the bonus but no spins.

Playing the wrong kind of game

The pack is for pokies only. Time spent on other games does not move the progress bar the way you expect.

Thinking of the bonus as cash

The bonus is play money until its turnover is finished. Plan your budget around your own deposit, not around the bonus.

Chasing the turnover with bigger bets

Raising your bet to finish faster also empties a balance faster. Keep to a bet size your balance can carry. If the money runs out, stop there. This is for adults 18 and over, and only with money you can spare.

Free K30 event credit for new members

Apart from the Welcome Pack, a new member can claim K30 of event credit without making a deposit. It is a way to try the games, not free cash, so read the rules below before you claim.

  1. Join 918Laki, then open the Promotions page and claim the free K30 before you ask for your first deposit. Once you have asked for a deposit, the offer is gone.
  2. The credit plays on event games only. Open the Event tab on the home page to see them.
  3. Play the credit through 15 times on those games.
  4. When the turnover is done, up to K15 of what is left becomes real money in your wallet.
  5. One claim per person and per phone.

If the card is not on your Promotions page, the usual reason is that the account already has a deposit request or another bonus.

Welcome Pack questions

Do I have to take the Welcome Pack?

No. On the deposit page you can choose no bonus. Your deposit then goes in without the pack and without its turnover.

Is the turnover counted on my deposit as well?

The pack turnover is 8 times the bonus. A deposit can carry its own turnover too. The Withdraw page shows the total you still have to play.

Can I use the free spins on any pokie?

No. They are for State of Origin only, at K0.30 a spin.

Is there free credit without a deposit?

Yes. A new member can claim K30 of event credit before the first deposit. It plays on event games only, must be played 15 times, and at most K15 becomes real money.

What if I miss the second deposit days?

Then that part of the pack is no longer open to you. The third part has its own limit of 7 days from joining.

Where are the official terms?

On the Promotions page. It is the final word on this offer, and it can change.
