Casinos with a no deposit bonus
Short answer
Five of the casinos we rate give free credit without a deposit: Class777 ($27.77), WinX96 ($19.96), Victor96 ($19.60 in its app), BSB007 ($18) and UFO9 ($10 free chips). Winnings are capped, usually at $20 to $30, so treat it as a free test drive rather than a payday.
The ranking shows these five in order of our overall score. That score looks at the whole casino, not just the freebie; our how we rate page explains the weights. Further down you will find every welcome deal on the site, including the casinos whose main offer is a deposit match.

Free credit offers side by side
| Casino | Free offer | How you get it | Cash-out cap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class777 | $27.77 free credit | On sign-up | $30 |
| WinX96 | $19.96 free credit | On sign-up | $20 |
| Victor96 | $19.60 no-deposit bonus | In the Android app | Shown in the bonus terms |
| BSB007 | $18 no-deposit bonus | On sign-up | $20 |
| UFO9 | $10 free chips | On sign-up, no deposit | Shown in the bonus terms |
The odd amounts are not typos. Casinos in this group like numbers that echo their name, so Class777 gives $27.77 and WinX96 gives $19.96. It makes no difference to how the credit works.
How a no deposit bonus actually works
A no deposit bonus is a small amount of bonus money, or a set of free chips, added to your account after you register. You play pokies with it like normal credit. What you cannot do is withdraw it straight away: bonus money comes with conditions that turn it into cash.
Most of these offers come with three conditions. First, a rollover (also called wagering, turnover or winover): you have to place a set amount of bets before winnings become withdrawable. Second, a cash-out cap: the most you can take out from the free credit, whatever you win. Third, game rules: usually pokies only, sometimes with a maximum bet per spin while the bonus is active.
The cap is the part people miss. Say you turn Class777's $27.77 into $150 on a lucky run. With a $30 cash-out cap, $30 is what you can withdraw, and the rest is removed when you cash out. That is still $30 you did not deposit, which is why we like these offers as a free trial.
Minimum withdrawal still applies
A capped bonus can sit below the site's minimum withdrawal. WinX96 caps free-credit winnings at $20 but asks $100 to withdraw, so you would need to add your own winnings from a real deposit to reach the line. Class777 caps at $30 with a $50 minimum.
How to claim free credit, step by step
Register with your real details
Sign-up at these sites runs on your mobile number and an SMS code. Use your legal name and real phone number, because they are checked again when you withdraw.
Find the offer in Promotions
Some sites add the credit automatically; others list it in the promotions page or bonus wallet for you to claim. Victor96's $19.60 is given inside its Android app, so install that first.
Read the terms before the first spin
Check the rollover, the cash-out cap, the eligible games and any maximum bet. It takes two minutes and saves an argument later.
Play the eligible pokies
Use the credit on the games the terms allow. Your progress toward the rollover usually shows in the bonus or promotions section of your account.
Verify and withdraw
Once the rollover is cleared and you are over the minimum withdrawal, upload ID if asked and request the cash-out to the bank account in your name.
Welcome deals at every casino we rate
A no deposit bonus is a taster; the welcome deal is the main meal. At iPay9, Bunny96, 9AU, AUD99 and Black Pokies, the welcome deal is the main offer, and Kangaroo88 pairs its two 50% matches with $18 Roo's Newbie free credit. Each link goes to that casino's full bonus page with the claim steps and terms.
| Casino | Welcome offer | Min deposit | Rollover | Full terms |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| iPay9 | 100% up to $250 | $10 | 6x turnover | iPay9 bonus |
| Bunny96 | 100% up to $300 | $30 | 5x | Bunny96 bonus |
| Victor96 | 50% + 70% + 80% on first 3 deposits, up to $1,800 | $50 for the bonus | 2x on the first bonus | Victor96 bonus |
| 9AU | 50% + 50% + 50% on first 3 deposits, up to $1,500 | $50 for the bonus | 3x–5x | 9AU bonus |
| WinX96 | 100% up to $296 | $50 | 3x winover | WinX96 bonus |
| Kangaroo88 | Two 50% bonuses up to $150 each + $18 Roo's Newbie free credit | $20 | 3x winover (pokies) | Kangaroo88 bonus |
| UFO9 | 70% up to $210 + $10 free chips | $50 for the bonus | 6x | UFO9 bonus |
| BSB007 | 50% up to $300 | $50 | 2x | BSB007 bonus |
| Class777 | 100% up to $277 | $20 | 3x winover | Class777 bonus |
| AUD99 | 100% up to $300 | $30 for the bonus | 7x turnover | AUD99 bonus |
| Black Pokies | 20% daily first-deposit bonus up to $300 | $10 | 4x | Black Pokies bonus |
Low rollovers stand out here. BSB007's 2x and Victor96's 2x on the first deposit mean less than a third of the play that AUD99's 7x asks for, and Kangaroo88 keeps its two 50% matches at 3x. A bigger headline number is not always the better deal, so look at the rollover column first.
Free credit or welcome bonus: which is better?
They do different jobs. Free credit lets you test the lobby, the mobile site and the cashier with zero risk. The cap keeps the upside small, but it is a good way to decide whether you like a casino before depositing.
A welcome bonus is where the value is. Deposit $100 at Bunny96 and you play with $200. If the 5x rollover counts on deposit plus bonus, that is $1,000 in bets before cashing out; with BSB007's 2x on a $100 deposit and its 50% match, $150 in play needs $300 in bets on the same basis. And 9AU puts no maximum withdrawal on its welcome bonuses at all.
Our usual route: claim the free credit, see if you enjoy the site, then decide whether its welcome deal is worth a deposit. Five of our casinos let you do both, and Class777 and WinX96 pair free credit with low 3x winover welcome bonuses.
Other promos worth knowing
- Rebates: UFO9 pays a daily 5% rebate, and AUD99 pays a daily bet rebate every night.
- Reloads: Bunny96 runs 15% weekday and 20% weekend reloads, and Black Pokies' main deal is a 20% daily first-deposit bonus.
- Crypto bonus: AUD99 adds a 20% daily bonus on USDT deposits.
- Quests and VIP: Class777 has daily and weekly deposit quests; Bunny96 has a six-tier lifetime VIP with Sunday bonuses, and Black Pokies a five-tier VIP with weekly bonuses.
Rebates and reloads are where regular players get most of their extra value, because they keep coming after the welcome deal is used up.
Making the most of free credit
Pick pokies you understand. If you have never played a game, try it first in our free pokies demo lobby so the bonus is not spent learning the features. Lower volatility games give more small wins, which helps you work through a rollover; high-volatility games can blow a small balance in a few spins. Our online pokies guide explains RTP and volatility in plain terms.
Keep the bet size modest and within any maximum bet rule, and finish ID checks early so a successful run is not held up. If you want the full picture on any of these casinos, start with the Victor96 review or the WinX96 review.
Free money still counts as gambling. All offers here are 18+, and if you find yourself chasing bonuses, our responsible gambling page has BetStop and Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858).
Questions people ask
Can I really win money from a no deposit bonus?
Yes, within the limits. Once you clear the rollover, winnings up to the cash-out cap become withdrawable. At Class777 that cap is $30, at BSB007 and WinX96 it is $20. You also need to reach the site's minimum withdrawal, which may mean topping up your balance with winnings from a real deposit.
Do I need a bonus code for these offers?
The offers on our list are given on sign-up, so the usual route is to register and then check the promotions section or bonus wallet. If a site shows a code beside an offer, enter it when you claim. Victor96's $19.60 is tied to its Android app, so sign up or log in there.
Why is there a cap on no deposit winnings?
The casino is handing out money with no deposit, so it limits how much can leave. The cap, such as $20 at WinX96 or $30 at Class777, keeps the offer a trial rather than a giveaway. Deposit bonuses generally give you more room, at the cost of putting in your own money first.
Can I claim a no deposit bonus more than once?
No. Free credit is a one-off welcome for new players, and casinos link it to your name, phone number and payment details. One account per person is a standard rule in the terms, so the way to get more free play is to claim the offer at a different casino on our list.
Which welcome bonus has the lowest rollover?
BSB007's 50% up to $300 comes with a 2x rollover, and Victor96's first deposit bonus also has 2x. Class777, WinX96 and Kangaroo88 sit at 3x winover, and 9AU between 3x and 5x. Those are among the easiest to clear on our list. AUD99 is at the top of our range with a 7x turnover.
Are free spins the same as a no deposit bonus?
Not quite. Free spins are a set number of spins on chosen pokies; a no deposit bonus at our sites is usually free credit or free chips you can use across eligible pokies. Both carry rollover rules and caps. UFO9 calls its sign-up gift $10 free chips, which works like credit.
What happens if I deposit while free credit is active?
It depends on the site. Some keep the bonus and cash balances separate; others require you to finish or forfeit the free credit before a deposit bonus can start. Check the promotions page before depositing, or ask live chat, so you do not lose the progress you have made on the rollover.
