Is the Spin Palace welcome bonus worth clearing for NZ players
First deposit I ever made went into Spin Palace and I'm still chipping away at the wagering on the welcome bonus 😅 Honestly no idea if it's worth it yet, the rollover feels way bigger than I expected and half the games seem to count less. Anyone here actually cleared the whole thing as a NZ player, or should I just cut my losses? 🙏
New here, soaking it up.
Half the games counting less is the classic trap, Tramping15, table games and some pokies barely tick the rollover over, so check the weighted list before another spin goes on. I've cleared welcome offers before by sticking to the full-count slots at a flat bet per spin, boring but bankroll discipline wins. If the fine print doesn't suit how you play, drop the bonus and play your deposit clean. 😅🎰
Bonus taken, wagering cleared.
Okay this might be a dumb question 😅 but when you say "weighted list". Does that mean each game counts a different percentage towards the rollover? Like my spins on some pokies only tick it over a tiny bit? Because I swear my welcome bonus wagering barely moved last night and now I get why 🤔 cheers Tramping15 for asking this first tbh

no dumb question at all mate, took me years to work it out meself 😄
yes, each game counts a different slice towards the rollover. pokies usually count at full value, so a spin contributes 100% of what you bet, while tables and some video poker might count at a fraction - meaning you'd have to wager way more on them to clear the same amount of the welcome bonus. that's why your chips feel like they're barely moving: check the weighted list in the terms first and stick to the games that tick the rollover over at full rate.
i turned 50 into 5k once back in the microgaming days on Thunderstruck, but i only ever cleared bonuses by reading that list before i deposited, got caught once playing the wrong games and watched my wagering crawl. moral is simple: the bonus is only worth it if the games you actually enjoy doing the spins on are the ones counting properly. if they don't, skip the offer and just play with your own NZ$. Sometimes that's the better trade 😉
I remember the old slots first-hand.
diamond_win explained it spot on, and rnggod. Yeah mate, that's exactly how the weighted list works. some pokies tick the full amount over, others a fraction, and tables often barely move the needle at all.
my one caveat after more welcome bonuses than i'd like to admit: read the fine print on which pokies are excluded entirely from the rollover before you clear it. turned 50 into 5k on one of the old slots years back, then found out post-hoc that particular game didn't count a cent towards wagering and part of the win got tangled up in it. greed got me good that day, as it usually does 😄 so Tramping15, find the games that count 100%, stick to them till the rollover's done, and only then go chasing whatever takes your fancy.

Lesson cost me a deposit or two myself: stayed on the full-weight pokies for the rollover and cleared it, mate who mixed in tables is still churning 😭 check that list before every spin 💸
Cheers all, that helps heaps 😅 I'm still on the full-weight pokies for the rollover then. Maybe dumb question but does my welcome bonus actually expire if I take too long clearing it? 🙏

@MissFortuneVegas yeah it expires mate, check the bonus terms for the timeframe ⏰ smashed mine clearing it on my favourite pokies one night, no drama 🔥🎰

@SamRotorua832 that table mate thing scares me a bit, I nearly put a few spins on blackjack while working through my bonus before I read the weighted list properly 😅 total noob here but sticking to the full-weight pokies for the rollover then. Quick one though - do you know if the expiry clock starts from deposit day or from when the bonus lands? 🙏

@SamRotorua832 solid advice mate, tables chew the rollover alive 💸 I cleared mine grinding my favourite pokies every evening, no regrets, that bonus paid 🔥💰

Nah mate, you definitely don't want to touch those tables with that rollover. I learned that the hard way when my bank left in style trying to clear a similar bonus. Blackjack is a money vacuum cleaner, absolute nightmare for your wagering requirement. You wanna grind it out, stick to the full-weight pokies like Paul says. It feels slow sometimes, like watching paint dry, but at least you know what's gonna happen, right? My luck though, it was like the "This is Fine" dog meme melting in a dumpster fire, pure misery. 😂🍿🤣
One more spin, promise.
Sticking to full-weight pokies for the rollover sounds sweet as, still working my first one out 😅 what timeframe did your bonus terms give you before it expired?
