Dropped A$100 in on day one for the ThePokies13 welcome bonus. Spins arrived over five mornings, twenty a batch. Finished the wagering on day six on pokies only.
Most people who land at ThePokies13 skim the headline match and stop there. The package actually runs on a seven-day clock, and the fine print only starts to matter once the account is live and the deposit is already through. Below is that full stretch, day by day, so nothing sneaks up on you.
The Offer in One Line (as at 17 September 2026)
100% match on the first deposit up to A$500, plus 100 free spins on the nominated Pragmatic Play pokie, from a A$30 minimum. Wagering is ×40 on the bonus only, and you’ve got 7 days. At The Pokies 13 the one move you can’t reverse is skipping the opt-in toggle at the cashier before you hit confirm on the deposit.
Your First Seven Days with the Bonus
How the thepokies13 package actually plays out once you’re in:
Day 0 – sign up
Account’s usually up in a few minutes. Bonus hasn’t started. Put a deposit limit on before you do anything else; the week compresses faster than it looks on paper.
Day 1 – first deposit
Drop A$30 or more via PayID, card or crypto with the bonus switch on. Match money sits in the bonus balance; your deposit stays as cash. Spins land on the nominated pokie — sometimes in daily batches, depending on the terms that week.
Days 2–6 – clearing
Pokies spins count 100% toward wagering. Live and table games chip in 3%. Listed jackpot pokies contribute nothing. Cap each spin under A$5 and watch the tracker for the A$ left to clear instead of running the maths yourself.
Day 7 – deadline
Anything still uncleared at the 7-day mark drops off, bonus winnings included. Cash balance is left alone. Once a bonus is cleared it flips to cash and can go out after the identity check clears.
Three Numbers Worth Keeping Handy
- ×40 hits the bonus only; your deposit sits outside that multiple
- A$5 is the hard ceiling on every spin while the bonus is live
- 7 days start when the bonus credits, not when the deposit lands

What New Players Say
A few accounts pulled from player feedback on The Pokies 13, lightly cleaned up:
T
No thepokies13 free spins on day one. I'd deposited before flicking the bonus toggle, so that money stayed plain cash. Next A$30 I toggled first and the spins showed inside a minute.
E
Solid cash session on day three, so I let The Pokies 13 new-player offer run out on purpose instead of grinding the rest. PayID cash-out in under an hour, bonus gone, no fuss.
Worth Claiming?
Take it only if pokies are already your thing, you can clear ×40 at A$5 a spin or under inside the week, and you treat the ThePokies13 credit as more spins—not money in the bank. Skip it if you live on tables, need quick withdrawals, or know you won't hit the turnover in seven days; just deposit plain. Gamble responsibly. Gambling Help Online 1800 858 858.
