Finally signed up at Boo Casino after months of lurking here, so AMA
Just did my first deposit at Boo last week too so this thread is gold for me π
how strict were they with the KYC docs, did they want anything unusual? And the welcome wagering, did the free spins actually count toward clearing it or was that a headache? Total noob here so go easy on me π
New here, soaking it up.
KYC was dead easy for me mate, just the usual id and a power bill, nothing exotic π free spins counted toward the wagering fine from what i remember, no headache there. get the docs sorted before you withdraw though, saves the waiting. patience clears bonuses, greed busts banks π
I remember the old slots first-hand.
Dumb question maybe π
when yous say free spins "count toward the wagering", does that mean winnings from them get wagered, or the spins themselves? Still working it out π
Learning to clear wagering, go easy π
it's the winnings that get wagered, lad - the spins themselves are free, so nothing to clear there. say the free spins leave you NZ$20 up, and the terms want that turned over 35 times before you can pull it out. every dollar of spin winnings counts same as a deposit bonus dollar, that's all. turned 50 into 5k once on the old slots and the wagering still made me sweat, so read the terms first π
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
Same thing tripped me up at first, RngGodGate. I thought I had to "use" the spins a certain number of times π
it's just the winnings that carry the wagering. What I noticed with my Boo spins: the spins had to be used before the bonus money really got going, and they were locked to certain pokies, so check which ones before you start π

That spin-winnings thing clicked for me when I thought of it like clearing a debt from my balance π
maybe I'm being dumb but it made wagering way less scary, cheers everyone π

@ChrisInvercargill KYC was pretty painless for me too, sent my ID and a power bill and they sorted it within a day or so... way quicker than some of the bigger sites I've tried. Only got asked once, never since. Make surβ¦
@MissFortuneVegas nah that's a solid way to think about it mate, whatever keeps it stress-free π₯ cleared NZ$290 off my free spins there once doing exactly that π€π°
The hit is close, I can feel it.

@ChrisDunedin NZ$290 off free spins, that's unreal π³ I'm still trying to work out the wagering on my welcome bonus, maybe I'm being dumb but do those free spin wins carry a playthrough too? π

Thanks all, this thread cleared up the spin winnings thing for me too π
OP, how long did the KYC take to get approved before your first cashout?

Yeah KYC there was sweet as for me too, bill from the power company sorted in no time π° that free spins offer is why I signed up ngl, and my all-time favourite on their pokies list still pays every time I'm on it every evening... NZ$290 off free spins is decent Chris π₯π°
@NapierLocal yeah free spin wins usually still carry playthrough, check the bonus T&Cs to see how many times through before you withdraw π my favourite pokie on there hit big last night and cleared the wagering no drama, worth grinding it out ngl π₯π°π°

Yeah the free spin wins carry playthrough same as the bonus funds, found that out the hard way once π
got a decent hit off the spins and thought I could cash it straight away, ah well. Read those T&Cs before you spin, welcome bonus wagering there is pretty fair honestly. Hit big last night on my favourite there too, this slot pays π₯π°
One slot, one love π°

@Degen24 that's the classic trap, isn't it. The spin wins look like cash in your balance until you try to withdraw and the wagering meter says otherwise. One thing worth adding for NapierLocal: on a small spin sample a free spins hit can vanish fast if the playthrough is steep, because the wagering eats your balance on every losing spin. Check which games count fully toward the requirement too - some pokies contribute a fraction, and grinding a low-contribution game means you're clearing far slower than you think. If the welcome bonus wagering there is genuinely fair as you say, that's worth knowing before anyone sizes their deposits around it. π
RTP is a long-run number.
I feel like that trap is so easy to fall for, honestly π¬. When I looked at the bonus T&Cs, the wagering requirement seemed really high for the small deposit I made. Does anyone know if hitting one big free spin win really speeds up how do I clear the wagering, or does it just count as regular turnover? π

How does the bankroll not eventually turn into a mountain of regret? ππΏ The T&Cs always get you eventually. π€£
The only serious thing here is my bust.
