The United Welcome Package, Explained

Last updated: September 6, 2026

New players at United get a welcome package when they sign up, followed by regular free spins drops on selected pokies. We keep the exact numbers inside your account dashboard rather than printing them here, because offers get refreshed and we would rather you see the current, correct figures than a stale headline number. This page walks through the structure so you know what you are agreeing to before you tap deposit.

Why We Don't Print Fixed Numbers on This Page

Bonus terms at United move with the market. Match percentages, spin counts and eligible games get reviewed regularly, so instead of locking a number into this page that might be out of date by the time you read it, we show the live offer at signup and again inside your account once you are logged in. That is the number that actually applies to you. Treat anything you read elsewhere about United's bonus size as unconfirmed until you see it on your own screen.

How the Welcome Package Is Structured

Rather than a single flat bonus, the United welcome package is typically built in stages tied to your first deposits. That structure rewards players who come back for a second or third top-up rather than front-loading everything into a single transaction. It also gives us room to add free spins on selected pokies from providers like Pragmatic Play and Nolimit City as part of the same package, rather than as a separate afterthought.

  • A bonus credit calculated against your qualifying deposit, shown as a percentage at signup
  • Free spins on selected pokies, usually released in batches over several days rather than all at once
  • A wagering requirement attached to bonus funds, detailed in full in our terms
  • A time window to clear the bonus, after which unused bonus funds may be removed
  • Game weighting rules, since pokies, live tables and card games can contribute differently toward wagering

We deposit and credit everything in AUD, so there is no currency conversion guesswork between what you see in your banking app and what lands in your United balance.

Ongoing Free Spins on Selected Pokies

The welcome package is a one-time event, but free spins keep going after that for regular players. We rotate spins across selected pokies titles, often tied to new game launches from studios like Betsoft, BGaming and Booming Games. Which titles are included changes over time, so check the promotions tab in your account rather than assuming a spin offer applies to every game in our library.

Winnings from free spins are usually paid as bonus funds first, subject to the same wagering conditions as the welcome package, unless your account terms say otherwise. Read the specific offer details before you opt in, since spin value and eligible games vary between promotions.

Wagering Requirements, in Plain English

A wagering requirement means you need to play through your bonus amount a set number of times before it converts to withdrawable cash. If your bonus credit is, for example, matched at a multiple stated in the offer, that multiple applies to the bonus amount, not your original deposit, unless the specific promotion says otherwise. Live tables often contribute less toward wagering than pokies do, so if clearing a bonus quickly matters to you, pokies from providers like Evolution Gaming's slot arm or Playson are usually the faster route.

TermWhat It Means
Bonus amountThe credit added to your account after a qualifying deposit
Wagering multipleHow many times you must stake the bonus before it can be withdrawn
Game weightingHow much each bet on a given game counts toward that multiple
Time limitThe window you have to complete the wagering before the bonus expires

Claiming a Bonus Without the Guesswork

When you register, you will usually see the live welcome offer on the signup screen itself, with the option to opt in or skip it. If you skip it, you can generally still claim a later free spins promotion from your account, since these are separate from the welcome package. Deposits run through PayID, POLi, Visa, Mastercard, bank transfer or major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether, and the qualifying deposit for a bonus is usually your first successful payment using one of these methods.

Playing Within Your Limits

A bonus is there to extend your play, not to guarantee an outcome. There is no such thing as a risk-free spin or a certain win, at United or anywhere else. If gambling stops being enjoyable or you are chasing losses to try to trigger a bonus payout, that is a signal to step back. Gambling Help Online offers free, confidential support for Australians at https://www.gamblinghelponline.org.au/ or by phone on 1800 858 858, any time of day.

The United Welcome Package, Explained

What is the exact welcome bonus amount at United?

The current figure is shown at signup and inside your account promotions tab, since offers are reviewed and updated regularly. We do not publish a fixed number on this page so you always see the live offer that actually applies to your account. T&Cs apply, 18+.

Do free spins expire?

Yes, free spins are usually released in batches with a set window to use them, and unused spins typically expire after that period. Check the specific promotion in your account for the exact expiry date. T&Cs apply.

Which games count toward clearing a bonus?

Pokies generally contribute the most toward wagering requirements, while live dealer tables and some card games are weighted lower or may not count at all. The weighting for each game is listed in our terms and inside the promotion details. T&Cs apply.

Can I withdraw my deposit while a bonus is active?

Rules on this vary by promotion. Some offers let you withdraw your original deposit while bonus funds remain locked to wagering, others treat deposit and bonus together until the requirement is met. Always check the specific offer terms before opting in.

Do I have to opt in to get the welcome package?

Yes, in most cases you will be asked to accept the welcome offer during registration or after your first deposit. If you decline, you can still browse and claim other free spins promotions later from your account. Must be 18 or over to register.
