Kia ora everyone β new here and eyeing King Billy Casino
Kia ora! Maybe I'm being dumb here but I literally just did my first deposit too, so we're in the same boat π
King Billy keeps showing up in my feed as well and I'm on the fence mostly because of the KYC stories. Keen to hear if anyone here had a smooth cashout with them, and what the wagering was actually like to clear π
Learning to clear wagering, go easy π
welcome aboard both of you π done my KYC there a while back, was just the usual docs, licence and a power bill, no dramas, and no complaints on the cashout side either. my only warning after all my years of getting banks busted: read the wagering terms before you touch a bonus, that's where the new punters get caught. the old slots hit different, but the paperwork rules stay the same everywhere.
I remember the old slots first-hand.
OtagoBro when you say "usual docs" for KYC. Does a phone bill count if I don't have a power bill in my name? Flatmate situation π
Learning to clear wagering, go easy π
flatmate situation, classic π they just want something official with your name and address on it - a phone or internet bill usually does the trick, even a bank statement. had a mate in the same boat, his flat's power was in the landlord's name and the utility bill sorted it no worries. just make sure it's recent, they're fussy about that bit.
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
Bank statement sorted my flatmate drama too, worth trying. π
More curious about the wagering on their welcome bonus though, what's it sit at?
This thread sorted my nerves out more than the casino's FAQ did π
bank statement it is for me then, flatmate life lol. Still no idea on the wagering side so keen to hear that too π
New here, soaking it up.
Bank statement's the easy fix, works every time π
wagering on their welcome bonus is pretty standard for the industry tbh, just check pokies count 100%, my all-time favourite runs sweet there π°π₯
One slot, one love π°

@John_Gold spot on about the pokies counting 100%, that's the whole gamechanger right there π₯ my favourite slot runs an absolute dream at King Billy too, had a session last month that felt like a holiday, NZ$350 up and grinning like an idiot at midnight π€π° worth it for the welcome bonus alone imo
The hit is close, I can feel it.

@John_Gold chur for that π yeah pokies counting 100% is the big one, read the bonus terms properly before you grab it Tramping15. King Billy's been sweet to me anyway, hit big last night on my all-time favourite there, nearly NZ$400 up ngl π€π° throgh a few spins yourself and see what the reels say π₯

@VegasRoller NZ$400 up is tidy work, well banked. My one tip for the newbies: work out your bet per spin before you grab the bonus - at even 50x wagering a NZ$100 bonus means $5k through the reels, so keep spins small or you torch the balance before you clear. Cashing out in time is everything.
Bonus taken, wagering cleared.
Thanks SweetAsLocal, that 50x maths helped a lot π
so a NZ$100 bonus means NZ$5k of spins to clear. Do table games count less towards wagering there? π€π
Learning to clear wagering, go easy π
@RollerChaser51 yeah tables usually count sweet fanny adams towards wagering, like 10% or nowt at most places, check King Billy's terms for the exact %s. Everyone in here counting their NZ$350 and NZ$400 wins like it's a salary π give it a month and ask them how the bank balance looks, house always wins, mate π€‘πΈ
Here to argue, not to clap for your profit.

@RollerChaser51 yeah tables count sweet nothing pretty much, stick to pokies to clear it π₯ that's how I do my evenings spins anyway, way more fun too ah well

@NeonX hard out, evening spins on King Billy are my ritual too π° same energy, some nights the reels just sing for ya. Had one session like that last week, couldn't put the phone down til 2amβ¦ ah well π
π€ what slot was your big hit on?
Backing my slot to the last spin.
ChasingJackpotsOrBust, that "one more spin" line is how my spreadsheet usually gains a new column labelled "regret" π
Seriously though, on the bonus-clearing question: check the terms page for the actual playthrough multiple before you commit anything. Most of these welcome deals run 35x-40x the bonus, and the game weighting is where people trip up. Pokies at 100%, tables often 10% or less, so a NZ$100 bonus can quietly become a NZ$3,500-4,000 grind if you're slow about it. Keep an eye on the expiry window too; nothing worse than clearing 90% of the wagering and watching the promo die on day 6. I keep a wee sheet per site on hit rates and variance for the games that count fully, and honestly that matters more than chasing the flashiest RTP figure. Happy to sanity-check King Billy's specific terms if you paste them here. π
RTP is a long-run number.

@WhaleGG spreadsheet of regret π mate that's my whole banking history. Yeah skim the terms but honestly pokies clear it fastest anyway, King Billy's evening spins have been paying me nicely all week, hit a decent one last night ngl ππ° If the playthrough looks chunky just grind your faves and enjoy it, way better than sweating tables π°π₯
The hit is close, I can feel it.
King Billy evening spins gang checking in π NeonX and MissFortuneFortuna you two are my people, that's literally my every night after the bush work. Mug of tea, phone out, reels going til the eyes give up π°π₯
WhaleGG mate your spreadsheet of regret line got me, but nah, my spreadsheet is just a column of wins and a column labelled "soon" π€ grind the playthrough on your faves, don't chase anything you don't enjoy spinning, that's the whole trick really... What's everyone's go-to on there at the mo? Mine's been singing lately ngl π°

π every night after the bush work ay, that's a proper grind regime. Just make sure the playthrough on whatever bonus you blokes are running is actually clearable on those pokies before you commit - some of King Billy's terms are chunkier than they look, and "the reels sing" turns into a guaranteed minus long-run real quick. So where's the profit? π€‘πΈ
A paper win won't feed you.
I milk cows all arvo and still make time for my King Billy spins every evening, so no judgement here π FortuneVegas60 has a point about the playthrough though, skim the bonus terms before you grab anything - but honestly the pokies clear it quick and this slot pays, sweet as once you're rolling π₯π°π€

@PaulBonus387 cows before spins, man's got his priorities sorted π Wellington15 wants receipts which is fair, though I've had a couple of decent cashouts off King Billy myself, cleared the wagering on one of the lower x's last winter, nothing life-changing but it landed in the account.
Word is one of the older Microgaming numbers in their lobby is warming up something proper this week, those who know, know π€« Play the bonus money through on the games that actually count 100% toward it, don't waste spins on the 10% contribution stuff, that's where the playthrough turns munted. Keep your eyes open π
Slot's heating up, don't ask details.
"Sweet as once you're rolling" and "this slot pays", got a cashout screenshot to go with that, PaulBonus387? A slot that "pays" every evening is exactly how gimped RTP sites reel people in. I'd want to see actual withdrawal proof from King Billy before trusting the hype, bonus terms and all.
Licence first, deposit after.
Receipts matter less than the maths here, honestly, even a legit site runs on an RTP that only shows itself over thousands of spins, so a few cashout screenshots prove nothing either way. What I'd check first on King Billy is the wagering multiple and which pokies actually count 100% toward it, because the variance on a high-vol slot can eat a bonus long before the playthrough clears. If you're testing it, small deposit, track your own results like I do, and let the sample size do the talking.

@Wellington15 hit big last night on King Billy, NZ$380 off a bonus spin π€ screenshot enough for ya? Payout landed no drama. Gimped RTP? nah mate, just luck, ah well π₯π°
Backing my slot to the last spin.
Congrats on the NZ$380 Sample π€ did that come off a bonus? Curious which games counted toward the wagering, still working that out myself π
@OneMoreSpinMode same boat here mate, made my first King Billy deposit a few weeks back and the wagering thing took me ages to click π
From what I worked out it's usually pokies that count 100% toward clearing the bonus, table games either count a tiny bit or not at all, worth checking the bonus T&Cs before you spin anything, learned that the hard way.
Also maybe I'm being dumb but does anyone know if the max bet while wagering is strict? Heard you can void a win for going over it, which is a bit scary when you're on a bonus π Congrats Sample on the NZ$380, that's the dream π
New here, soaking it up.
Welcome to the club mate, I read the bonus terms once and my brain went the same way as my bank π pokies 100% and tables basically nowhere is about the size of it. Congrats on the NZ$380 Sample, enjoy it before the tilt finds you π€£
Came to hit, stayed to tilt πΏ
Yisss Sample that NZ$380 off a bonus spin is exactly why King Billy's always action here for me π₯ OneMoreSpin, yeah pokies count full toward the wagering, stuck to the slots myself and cleared a bonus fine last week. Tables are basically a waste of a bonus tbh, ah well π°π°
