faq
What is the wagering requirement for bonuses?
Most bonuses at Wintera carry a 35x wagering requirement applied to the bonus amount plus your deposit. For example, a A$100 bonus on a A$100 deposit requires A$7,000 in total wagering (35 × A$200). Daily cashback has 0x wagering and is credited immediately. Different games contribute different percentages toward this requirement: slots 100%, table games 10%, live casino 0%.
Are welcome bonus funds sticky?
Yes. Wintera's welcome package bonuses are sticky, meaning bonus funds do not count toward your withdrawal balance until the wagering requirement is met. Only your original deposit and winnings from wagering can be withdrawn. Once wagering is complete, the bonus becomes withdrawable. Reload bonuses and cashback are not sticky.
How long do I have to use my bonus?
Welcome bonuses and reload bonuses are valid for 14 days from the date they are credited. Daily cashback is credited each day at midnight with a 7-day validity period per credit. If the validity period expires, unused bonus funds are forfeited.
Which deposit methods activate the welcome bonus?
The welcome bonus is available when depositing via Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer, Skrill, Neteller or MiFinity. Deposits made via paysafecard or cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT) do not activate the welcome package, though you can still play with your deposit funds.
What happens if I withdraw before meeting the wagering requirement?
If you attempt to withdraw before meeting the 35x wagering requirement on a bonus, Wintera applies a 15% penalty to your requested withdrawal amount. For example, requesting A$200 with unmet wagering results in a A$30 penalty. The bonus and remaining funds remain in your account. You must complete wagering to withdraw without penalty.
