Anyone had a slap at Lucky Dreams' wagering list yet?
Went digging through their wagering list the other arvo and half the big-name pokies barely count a cent towards clearing, mate. Ran a bonus there once at 50c a spin and it dragged forever because my favourites were on the low-contribution pile. Anyone know if the free games from features count the same as base spins or is that another catch?
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
Yeah nah, Freo_Dad's spreadsheet rule saved my hide too - turned a scrappy bonus into a grand once by riding one fully-counting pokie. Ah well, we grind on
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
This thread is making me realise I almost torched my first bonus on a dead machine that barely counts. Where do you even find the contribution table, buried in the T&Cs? 😅

Same boat as LuckIsAll_Clue here, only found the contribution table after I'd already burned half a bonus on a pokie that counted next to nothing 😬 Took me an actual read of the T&Cs on my phone at smoko to find it. reckon I get the idea, if a game doesn't count fully, every spin clears less, so it's the wagering maths that matters more than chasing a big feature. Do the table usually say the exact percentage per game or just "counts/doesn't count"? 🤔
The bit that gets me is how the contribution table usually sits a few pages deep in the T&Cs, after all the general boilerplate nobody reads, it took me two smoko-length scrolls to find it myself. Worth noting the listed percentage can also change per promotion, so the table you memorised last month may not match this one. 📊 Check it fresh every time, same as I refresh my volatility sheet before a session.
Volatility > vibes.
Same here, found the contribution table way too late 😅 burn question is whether excluded games still eat your bonus balance if you spin them anyway?
New here, soaking it up.
@TiltKing777 the excluded games usually still deduct from your bonus balance on every spin, they just contribute zero towards the playthrough. So your A$100 bonus can quietly shrink to nothing while the progress bar stays frozen at 0%. Worst possible combo, and the clock keeps ticking too.
My usual tip: run excluded titles at minimum bet if you must play them at all, and do your real wagering on the highest-contribution pokies (typically 100%) at a bet size that gives you enough spins to survive the variance. On a small spin sample you can be up or down wildly even on decent RTP, so give yourself room. And CasinoLadyx has a fair point, I'd also like to see an actual cashout screenshot from someone here before I bother with their bonus terms again.
TiltKing777, on most wagering terms the excluded games won't reduce the playthrough requirement at all, so your bonus balance just sits there spinning while the clock runs down. Worst of both worlds. Worth checking whether the excluded titles are blocked outright or merely zero-contribution, because that nuance varies between offers, and with a small spin sample you won't notice the difference until the deadline's nearly gone.
Do the EV, then spin.
Burnt enough deposits on excluded tables to learn the hard lesson tbh 🤦 Jacko nailed it, check the contribution list BEFORE loading, otherwise you can do hundreds of spins @ decent bet size and wonder why the progress bar hasn't moved. That game eating your balance while ticking the clock down is exactly where they get ya 🔥 If anyone clears theirs properly, tell us which pokie did the work.
TiltKing777, the clock still runs on excluded games either way. And has anyone here actually cleared a Lucky Dreams bonus and got a cashout screenshot? Believe it when I see who got paid.
RTP doesn't lie, win screenshots do.

@CasinoLadyx LuckyLadyVIP just posted a A$280 cashout right there, that's your proof lol. Cashout hits different after wagering's cleared 🔥💰
One slot, one love 🎰

@AllInEveryTime_TillIWin yeah this is the trap alright, watched me own bonus balance melt down doing spins that counted for nothing 😱 Still reckon Lucky Dreams is worth a crack tho, cleared a decent chunk off the wagering on their pokies last arvo and pulled out A$280 🤑 just read the list first, that's the whole game 💰🔥
Backing my slot to the last spin.
@LuckyLadyVIP A$280 cashout after pokies cleared the wagering, good result 👌 Lesson from my bust yesterday: keep the bet per spin small, like 2 a spin, and the balance survives long enough to actually hit.

@AceChaser solid tip mate, small spins is exactly how I do it too, had a run on the pokies there last night and the balance lasted way longer at low bets, ended up banking a decent hit 🔥💰 Somehow whenever I bump the bet size the bonus just evaporates, every time, ah well.

@AceChaser so if I bet $2 a spin it all counts towards clearing the bonus, yeah? 🤔 total noob here so go easy on me, I made my first deposit last week and went too big per spin and the bonus was gone in like twenty minutes 😭 will try small spins tonight, thanks mate 🙏

@ClassicTV read the bonus terms before anything else, not the forum tips. Most of these places cap the max bet per spin while wagering is active - go over it and they void the whole bonus, which sounds like exactly what happened to your first deposit. Also check which pokies actually count 100% toward the rollover; some games count nothing at all, so you can spin for an hour and clear zero.
Small spins are fine, but don't confuse a surviving balance with a payable one. Until someone here posts a screenshot of A$280 actually landing in their bank account, I'd treat every Lucky Dreams "it paid" story as marketing. Check the blacklist thread first, and keep your deposits small until you see a real cashout from them.
Hype isn't a payout.
A screenshot of the A$280 withdrawal is worth more than three posts of hype. Did it actually land in your bank, AceChaser? That's who actually got paid territory until then.
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.

@ClassicTV SlotQueen is spot on, the max bet per spin while wagering is the usual trap. Check the Lucky Dreams terms for that cap before tonight's session. Yeah, small bets count, but also look at which games contribute 100% toward clearing, pokies usually do but table games barely move the needle. Been there myself, busted a bonus in one session by overbetting and had to grind the next one out at minimum stakes 🎰
Cashing out in time is half the battle.
Cleared the Lucky Dreams wagering on pokies last arvo myself, max bet cap is real so watch it 🎰 hoping my cashout actually lands, will report back 💰 ah well
The hit is close, I can feel it.
Watched a mate blow his bonus at the RSL pokies doing the same over-max bet thing 🤣 terms first, spins second. I just donate to the casino again anyway lol
The only serious thing here is my bust.
