Fair Go Casino splits its welcome offer into five equal steps: 100% up to AU$200 on each of the first five deposits, AU$1,000 in total, with the code WELCOME and a AU$20 minimum deposit. Every step is wagered 30 times on deposit plus bonus, with a AU$10 maximum bet. That makes the full AU$200 step a AU$12,000 target. Free money is treated much harder: 60x, a 5x cap, and a flat AU$180 ceiling on some promotions, even though the homepage FAQ says there is no maximum cashout. There is also a clock that few players notice, 150 days to start a withdrawal.
Five steps of AU$200, one code
The welcome bonus is 100% up to AU$200 on each of the first five deposits, entered with the code WELCOME. The minimum deposit is AU$20. Claiming the whole thing means depositing AU$200 five times, AU$1,000 in all, and receiving AU$1,000 in bonus.
Smaller deposits work, but the bonus matches the deposit one for one, so a AU$20 deposit gives AU$20. Winnings from deposit-based rewards are void if the deposit was under AU$5, a rule that matters only if you deposit by a method with a very low minimum, such as the AU$5 Lightning Bitcoin option.
AU$12,000 on a AU$200 step
Deposit bonus coupons need 30x on deposit plus bonus. A AU$200 deposit with a AU$200 bonus is a AU$400 base, so the target is AU$12,000. With the maximum bet of AU$10 during any bonus playthrough, that is at least 1,200 bets. Go above AU$10 and the promotion winnings are void.
A AU$20 step is much more manageable: AU$40 times 30 is AU$1,200, or at least 120 bets at the cap. The bonus counts as completed when the wagering is met or when the balance falls below AU$0.50, at which point the remaining bonus balance is cleared.
Table games, blackjack, video poker, craps, American roulette and baccarat do not count towards the wagering. Red or black bets in roulette are not allowed with a bonus either.
- AU$20 deposit: AU$20 bonus, AU$1,200 to wager
- AU$200 deposit: AU$200 bonus, AU$12,000 to wager
- All five steps in full: AU$1,000 of bonus
The 1x rollover and the 150-day clock
The deposit must be rolled over once before any withdrawal. After you redeem a coupon, you must start a withdrawal within 150 days, or the winnings are forfeited. That is roughly five months, which sounds long, but it runs from the coupon, not from the end of your wagering.
A pending withdrawal blocks you from claiming any bonus. And if your last deposit is more than three months old and you claim a free bonus, you are not entitled to a withdrawal.
Free money: 60x, 5x and AU$180
Free bonuses are wagered 60 times. The no-deposit cash-out limit is 5 times the bonus, and the terms give the example that a $100 bonus equals $500. A AU$25 free bonus at 60x is AU$1,500 of bets.
Free money promotions also have a maximum withdrawal of AU$180. If you took a no-deposit bonus without a deposit, you must deposit at least AU$25 and meet the 1x rollover before withdrawing. Withdrawals from a free bonus of AU$25 to AU$50 are processed only with a utility bill matching your address.
The homepage FAQ states that there is no maximum cashout limit. The promotional terms say otherwise, with the 5x cap and the AU$180 limit written out clause by clause.
Cashback, Koala Monday and the monthly gift
Cashback is 25%, or 40% for VIP players, on a busted deposit of at least AU$10 that was made without a bonus. It carries 20x wagering, needs a balance under AU$1 and covers deposits up to a month old. Koala Monday requires a AU$20 deposit and pays a bonus of up to AU$1,000. Fair Draw requires AU$500 deposited in total from Friday to Thursday.
The monthly deposit gift is AU$20 to AU$25, with a AU$180 maximum cash-out and 60x. Comp points convert at 100 points to AU$1. A referred friend needs a first deposit of at least AU$25 and 5x wagering.
No bonus for 38 countries, and little outside feedback
Promotional term 26 lists 38 countries that receive no bonuses, including Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Players excluded from bonuses cannot enter the tournaments either.
Trustpilot shows 4.3 from 908 reviews. Neither CasinoGuru nor AskGamblers has a usable record of the casino, so there is no count of bonus complaints to cite. The confiscation list in the terms includes bonus abuse, among eleven items.
Who the Fair Go bonus suits
It suits an Australian pokies player who deposits in small steps, such as AU$20 to AU$50, keeps bets at or below AU$10 and expects to be done well inside 150 days. It does not suit players who want to claim the full AU$200 steps without a AU$12,000 target in mind, or those who hope to turn a free bonus into more than AU$180.
