How the $20 starting deposit unlocks the welcome package
The first deposit is a 100% match up to $2,000, so a $20 deposit can produce a $20 bonus. That $20 is the minimum deposit needed to activate a deposit bonus. The full Australian package can reach $10,000 or 5 BTC, with 180 Free Spins spread across four deposits.
The free spins have a separate entry point. You need to deposit at least $40 to unlock them on the first deposit. That means a $20 deposit can activate the deposit match, while $40 is the point to aim for if you also want the 180 spins.
$20 starts the match; $40 unlocks the spins
A $20 qualifying deposit activates the deposit bonus. A $40 deposit is required for the first-deposit free-spin reward, so choose your amount with both thresholds in mind.
The four deposits and the reward attached to each one
The welcome package is divided into four deposit stages. The first stage carries the biggest collection of extras, while the next three add further matched funds and Bonuz Mania spins.
| Deposit stage | Matched bonus | Additional rewards |
|---|---|---|
| First deposit | 100% up to $2,000 | 180 Free Spins, 3 Bonuz Mania Spins, 5x Piggyz Booster and 200 Jackpot Spins |
| Second deposit | 50% up to $2,000 | 3 Bonuz Mania Spins |
| Third deposit | 50% up to $4,000 | 3 Bonuz Mania Spins |
| Fourth deposit | 100% up to $2,000 | 3 Bonuz Mania Spins |
For a simple example, a $100 first deposit receives a $100 match, provided it meets the offer conditions. The later stages use their own percentages and maximums, so the third deposit has the largest possible matched amount at up to $4,000.
Start with the amount that suits your play
You can begin at $20 for the deposit match or use at least $40 when the 180 Free Spins matter to you. Keep the $5 maximum bet and 40× wagering rule in view before choosing a larger deposit.
How to activate the offer in your account
Registration takes approximately one minute. You must be at least 18, and the account setup collects your full name, date of birth, identification documents, residential address, email and contact details. Before registering, check that online gambling is legal where you live.
- Create your account
Complete the Registration process with your personal details and choose the standard username and password login.
- Select a supported deposit method
Choose an amount of at least $20 for the deposit bonus. Use at least $40 if you want to unlock the first-deposit free spins.
- Activate the bonus
Activate the offer in your casino account before starting bonus play. The welcome package is split across four deposits, so keep track of which stage you are using.
- Check the play limits
Keep every bet at $5 or less while the bonus is active. Slots contribute fully towards wagering, while bingo, live games and table games contribute 5%.
- Use the free spins as they arrive
The 180 first-deposit spins arrive as 20 immediately, followed by 20 per day for the next eight days. Their winnings carry the same 40× wagering requirement described below.
Keep the offer easy to follow
Record your deposit amount, bonus amount and free-spin delivery days. That makes it simpler to work out the wagering target before you start.
Bonus rules: 40× wagering, the $5 bet cap and game contributions
The main rule is 40× wagering on the bonus amount only. It is not 40× the deposit plus the bonus. So, if a $100 deposit produces a $100 bonus, the wagering target is $4,000.
| Term | Rule | Worked example |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit bonus | 40× the bonus amount | $20 bonus × 40 = $800 wagering |
| Free-spin winnings | 40× the winnings | $10 in winnings × 40 = $400 wagering |
| Maximum bet | $5 while the bonus is active | Keep each bonus-play bet at $5 or below |
| Slots | 100% contribution | $100 in slot wagers counts as $100 |
| Bingo, live and table games | 5% contribution | $100 wagered counts as $5 |
The contribution rate changes how quickly different games move the requirement. A $100 slot wager counts in full, while $100 wagered on a table game, live game or bingo counts as $5 towards the target. This is why slots are the most direct way to clear the stated wagering requirement.
The $5 maximum applies during active bonus play, so avoid placing a larger bet while any relevant welcome or deposit bonus is running. Free-spin winnings also carry 40× wagering, which means the reward is not ready for withdrawal immediately after the spins finish.
Real money play still carries real risk
Only play with money you can afford to lose. BitStarz provides self-exclusion tools, and gambling services are restricted to players aged 18 and over.
Free spins, Bonuz Mania and other deposit-linked extras
The first-deposit 180 Free Spins are delivered in instalments rather than all at once: 20 spins arrive immediately, then 20 spins each day for eight days. Their winnings are subject to 40× wagering, so include them in your calculation rather than treating them as instantly withdrawable cash.
Bonuz Mania is another deposit-linked feature. A deposit of $50 or more provides 3 Bonuz Mania spins, with the spin bet set at 10% of the deposit. For example, a $50 deposit gives a $5 spin bet. The spins must be claimed within 24 hours of deposit confirmation and used within two hours once claimed.
- Only one set of 3 Bonuz Mania spins can be active at a time, so multiple deposits cannot stack several sets.
- The Mega Jackpot starts at $25,000, resets to $25,000 after a win and is paid as real cash with no wagering.
- The Minor Jackpot starts at $100, grows hourly and carries 1× wagering.
- Deposit Multiplier prizes can reach $50,000 and carry 40× wagering.
- Bonuz Mania can also award Jackpotz Dollars up to J$10,000, Piggyz Cash up to $50,000 and cashback from 5% to 50%.
Cashback is based on net losses during a 24-hour period. The accumulated amount is capped at twice the deposit that triggered the prize, must be activated within seven days of winning, and then builds over a further 24-hour period. It is credited within six hours after that period ends and carries 1× wagering. Only one cashback prize can be active at once.
There are also weekly competitions. Slot Wars offers a $5,000 cash prize pool plus 5,000 free spins, with points earned from any slot; its free-spin winnings carry 40× wagering. Table Wars has a $10,000 prize pool for the top 40 players, with a $3,000 top prize and wager-free prizes.
