Cashback pokies offers: what the percentage applies to

A cashback percentage is incomplete until you know its calculation base. Deposits, turnover and net losses are different figures, and an advertised percentage should not silently switch between them.

Establish the calculation base

A hypothetical 10% of $100 in eligible net losses is $10. It is not 10% of every stake made during the period. A promotion may define eligible losses differently, exclude games or adjust for bonuses and withdrawals. Use the exact definition.

Check the period and the cap

A daily, weekly or campaign-long calculation can produce different results. Read the cut-off time, time zone, minimum qualifying amount and maximum credit. A percentage without those boundaries cannot be compared reliably.

Cash and bonus credit are different

A cashback credit may be withdrawable cash, a restricted bonus or another reward type. Check wagering and expiry instead of assuming that “cashback” means an immediate refund to a bank account.

Higher percentages can have narrower conditions

An advertised upper rate may apply only to a particular loyalty tier, selected titles or part of an account’s activity. Do not use the highest tier as the default for every reader. A published source should identify the applicable tier.

Cashback is not loss protection

A partial promotional credit cannot make gambling risk-free or guarantee recovery of spending. It should not be used as a reason to increase stakes or chase losses. Our offer comparison explains public terms without guaranteeing availability or performance.
