A no deposit bonus gives free credit or free spins for signing up, with no money paid in. National Casino has a public no deposit offer for Australians: 20 free spins for installing its app and allowing notifications. Elsewhere the offers are smaller, wins are usually capped at $75, and you must deposit before you can withdraw.
Taken from each casino’s Australian promotions page, bonus terms and general terms.

| Spin Samurai | None for Australians | App install spins, with no deposit condition in the terms | $75 | 45x on spin winnings | Yes, plus a verified account |
| Wanted Win | None; the FAQ says a one-off code may arrive by newsletter | Partner-site free chips (ZILLA CHIPS) | $75 in the general terms; free chips €20 | 40x | Yes, with the method you want to be paid by |
| Richard Casino | None | Push Your Wins spins for installing the app and allowing notifications; partner-site free chips | $35 on the app spins; free chips €20; $75 general cap | 40x | Yes |

Several of them also hand out free spins for one-off tasks, such as Spin Samurai’s missions for confirming your email or verifying your phone, or the first loyalty level at Wanted Win and Richard Casino. Most of those open only after a first deposit, so they don’t count as no deposit offers in practice.
No deposit offers come in three main forms: a free chip, which is a small cash balance such as $10 or $20; free spins on a chosen pokie; or a short block of free play with a time limit. Whatever the form, the money is bonus credit, and it comes with more conditions than a deposit bonus because the casino has nothing of yours at stake.
Suppose a partner site gives you a $20 free chip with 45x wagering. You’d need to bet $900 before anything becomes withdrawable. Pokies that pay back around 96% of what’s bet would, on average, take about $36 from that $900, nearly twice the chip. Most free chips therefore run out before the wagering is done, and the ones that survive are capped. Treat a no deposit bonus as a free try of the casino, with a small chance of a capped win, rather than a way to make money.
A no deposit bonus costs the casino money every time someone signs up just to claim it, and duplicate accounts make that worse. That’s why the offers that do exist tend to sit behind an app install, a phone check or a partner site that the casino can track, and why the caps are so low. It’s also why the casinos we review require a deposit before a no deposit win can be paid out.
If your goal is to try a game without risk, demo pokies do that better than any bonus: no account, no wagering and no caps. Our free online pokies pages let you play Australian favourites in demo mode.
If you’re happy to put in a small amount, the lowest-cost real offers are deposit bonuses. Spin Samurai’s bonus terms start the welcome pack at $15, PlayAmo’s and National Casino’s at $25, and StayCasino’s, Wanted Win’s and Richard Casino’s at $30.
Claiming one isn’t an offence for a player. Australia’s Interactive Gambling Act targets the companies offering online casino games to Australians, not the people playing them. The practical issue is protection: casinos that accept Australians are licensed overseas, so if a bonus win isn’t paid, there’s no Australian regulator to complain to.
We recheck the promotions pages, bonus terms and general terms of every casino on our list regularly, and we compare what we find with the codes other sites are listing. When a casino gives PokiesLAB an exclusive code, it’ll go into the table at the top of this page with its full terms.
They exist, but rarely as public offers. National Casino gives 20 app and notification spins; elsewhere you’ll mostly find app spins and partner-site free chips, capped at $75 or less and needing a deposit before you can withdraw.
Not directly. Its 20 app spins are only credited after a deposit and pay out up to $35. Free chip codes from partner sites are capped at about €20.
There isn’t a public one. The app install spins come with no deposit requirement in the terms, but you’ll need to deposit and verify your account before withdrawing what they win.
Yes, the only one on this page: 10 free spins for installing its Android app and 10 more for allowing push notifications, each with 40x wagering, 7 days to use them and a $75 cap. PlayAmo gives 10 spins for installing its app on the same $75 cap, at 50x.
Only up to the cap, after wagering, and after making a deposit. At every casino we’ve reviewed the cap on no deposit winnings is $75.
It confirms you’re a real player with a payment method in your name, which cuts down on people opening several accounts to claim the same offer. Every casino we review requires it.
A no deposit bonus is real-money play with conditions attached. Free pokies are demo games played with pretend credits, with nothing to win and nothing to wager.
