Every offer on the table, with the arithmetic worked through: the five-deposit welcome package, free spins, no-deposit offers, promo codes, cashback, and the weighting rules that decide whether a bonus is any use to a live casino player.
The welcome offer is not one bonus but five, spread across your first five deposits and worth up to NZ$5,400 with 350 free spins in total. A sixth deposit carries a further reward. Each stage has its own match rate and its own ceiling, and each has to be claimed before you fund the account.
| Deposit | Match | Ceiling | Free Spins |
|---|---|---|---|
| First | 100% | NZ$1,100 | 100 |
| Second | 75% | NZ$1,100 | 50 |
| Third | 75% | NZ$550 | 50 |
| Fourth | 50% | NZ$1,100 | 100 |
| Fifth | 100% | NZ$550 | 50 |
The headline figure assumes you take all five at their ceilings. Anyone depositing once will see the first row only, so treat NZ$5,400 as the size of the programme rather than the size of the offer in front of you.
Wagering is a turnover target, not a loss you have to make. Every qualifying stake you place counts towards it, win or lose, and the balance you finish with is what you keep once the target is met.
Take the first deposit at its ceiling: put in NZ$1,100, and the match adds another NZ$1,100 in bonus funds. If the terms set the requirement at 40 times the bonus, the bonus has to be staked forty times over before anything can be withdrawn. Where the terms instead say 40 times bonus and deposit combined, the target doubles for the same money. That single word — combined — changes the offer more than the percentage on the banner does.
Two settings decide how long the target takes to clear. The first is the maximum stake permitted while a bonus is live, which is deliberately low and stated in the terms; exceed it once and the bonus can be voided even if you were winning. The second is the contribution rate of whatever you are playing.
Weighting is the percentage of each stake that counts towards the target, and on a site built around 500+ live tables it deserves reading before anything else. Slots normally carry the whole load; live dealer games carry very little or none, precisely because the house edge at a table is thin enough that clearing a bonus there would be too easy.
| Game type | Typical contribution | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Video slots | Full | Every stake counts in full |
| Jackpot slots | Reduced or excluded | Often barred while a bonus is live |
| Table games | Small fraction | Slow going towards the target |
| Live dealer | Little or none | Usually the worst place to spend a bonus |
Those bands are the industry pattern rather than a promise; the current terms are the authority. The practical rule stands either way. A bonus at Stay Casino is money for the slot lobby, and the live floor is where to spend your own cash.
The 350 free spins arrive in batches alongside the deposit matches rather than all at once, and they are tied to named slots such as Gates of Olympus and Sweet Bonanza. Each spin is set to a fixed value that you cannot raise.
Spin winnings almost always land as bonus funds carrying their own wagering, so a good session on free spins creates a target rather than a payout. Batches expire quickly — a matter of days, not weeks — and unused spins simply disappear, so claim them when you can actually sit down and use them.
No-deposit offers appear periodically and credit a small bonus or a handful of spins for registering alone. Wagering on these runs at 40 to 60 times, and a maximum withdrawal cap applies, so the realistic outcome is a free look at the lobby rather than a payday.
Promo codes are published on the promotions page and in the newsletter, and are entered at the cashier when you deposit. The WEEKEND code, for example, attaches a reload bonus. A code applied after the deposit has cleared cannot usually be added retrospectively.
Beyond the welcome sequence the calendar is regular rather than dramatic. Free-Spin Tuesdays, weekend reloads, birthday rewards, Fortune Wheel spins and tournaments with shared prize pools run through the year, and every wager earns loyalty points that convert into bonuses and free spins.
Weekly cashback of up to 7% is credited each Monday. Cashback is the offer worth paying attention to, because it is calculated on net losses and typically carries a far lighter requirement than a deposit match. Where a bonus is an obligation, cashback is close to cash — check which one you are being given before deciding an offer is generous.
Every bonus carries the same short list of ways to lose it. Exceeding the maximum stake while wagering is the common one. Buying a bonus feature on a slot is usually barred. So is low-risk play, which means covering most of a roulette table or betting both sides of an even-money proposition to grind the target down without risk.
Bonuses also expire, one is normally active at a time, and a withdrawal made before the target is met generally forfeits the remaining bonus and anything won from it. None of this is unusual, but all of it is enforced.
No. Declining it leaves your deposit as plain cash with no turnover target and no maximum stake, which is the better choice if you intend to play live tables.
You can request it, but the outstanding bonus and its winnings are usually removed first. Finish the target or decline the offer.
Deposits start at NZ$30, though a specific promotion may set its own qualifying minimum. The offer terms state it.
Yes, in almost every case. They are credited as bonus funds with a target attached and a short expiry.
