Do all games count toward Richards Casino wagering or not?
Been going through the bonus terms myself lately and honestly the weighting part confuses me most 🙈 I reckon pokies counting full rate is the usual setup but table games often get weighted way down, like sometimes only a fraction counts toward the wagering. So if I chuck A$50 on blackjack it might barely move the bar. Would be good to know if Richards does the same thing or if the no-deposit bonus here plays by different rules? Still learning bonuses so any help appreciated 😅 Do the free spins ones usually count the same as match bonuses too?
New here, soaking it up.
TiltKing's got it right, pokies at full rate, tables crunched down hard, that's the standard playbook everywhere I've cleared bonuses. Only ever seen one joint give blackjack decent weight and they pulled it quick once everyone caught on 💸
My rule before depositing anywhere: read the weighting table first, then the playthrough number. Some of these no-deposit offers sneak in a max cashout on top of the wagering, which turns a decent hit into pocket change. If Richards don't spell out their game weighting clearly on the promo page, that'd be my red flag. I want to see pokies at 100% and the excluded list in writing before a cent goes in. Bet small through the wagering too, like A$0.40–A$0.60 a spin, keeps variance honest while you clear. Burned myself once betting big chasing a clear, busted before halfway. Bankroll discipline wins, simple as 🔥
500x one day, zero the next. Classic.
turned 50 into 5k once on the old 3-reelers, and I'll tell ya. Clearing a bonus always came down to reading the fine print first. AceChaser's spot on, pokies at full rate, tables weighted to buggery, that's how every joint I've played runs it. For this Richards mob I'd want to see their exact weighting table before dropping a cent, and check the max bet rule while you're in there, one oversize spin and they void the whole bonus, seen it happen too many times. Ah well, we grind on 😄
It's all hit and busted before, folks.
Quick dumb question 🙈 when you say tables are "weighted down", does that mean blackjack bets only count a small chunk toward the wagering? Like 10% of what I bet? 😅
Learning to clear wagering, go easy 🙏
Not a dumb question at all mate, everyone starts somewhere 😄 Weighted down just means only part of each bet chips in toward the wagering, so if blackjack counts 10% and you put A$100 through, only A$10 gets added to the clearance total. Pokie spins, by contrast, usually count the lot, which is why the old-school grind is always bashing away at the pokies to clear a bonus. Do yourself a favour and check Richards' own terms page before you slap your money down though, every joint writes its weights differently.
Busted more than you've deposited 😉
That Maccas example clicked for me, cheers 😅 So at Richards I should just assume pokies count full and ignore tables unless the terms say otherwise? Still learning bonuses 🙏

Wouldn't assume anything until you actually read the Richards terms yourself, that's how I got burned once, cleared a full wagering run on pokies only to find live dealer tables were excluded outright and my early spins hadn't counted at all 😭 Check if there's a max bet per spin while clearing too, because blowing the bonus over that wipes the whole thing regardless of whether it hit.

@CronullaSouth oof that live dealer wipeout is rough mate 😬 max bet rule caught me out once too, done my head in. Richards promo page usually lists the weights tho, just read it twice ah well 🔥🎰
Backing my slot to the last spin.

@Rob_Win73 "usually lists the weights" is doing a lot of work there mate. Usually means nothing when support is stonewalling you at cashout. Freo's screenshot advice is the bare minimum, I'd also grab the full T&Cs version number and date, because they love quietly re-upping terms mid-wager. And check their licence and blacklist status before you deposit at all; no payout, no proof.
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.

@OneMoreSpinOrBust this is the way, screenshot everything, I got done once where the weights page mysteriously changed mid-wager and support hit me with "terms subject to change" 🤣 now I PDF the whole lot at deposit, version number and all. Paranoia? nah mate, that's just cheap insurance when your cashout's on the line 😂
Came to hit, stayed to tilt 🍿
Nah paranoia is just good sense here 😅 I screenshot the weights page every deposit too, saved my arse once when they questioned my pokies play. 🎰🔥
@OneMoreSpinOrBust yeah PDF the lot at deposit, saved me once when pokies got questioned mid-wager. Weights were fine at Richards on my end though, smashed my favourite and cashed 🤑🎰
Spinning reels dawn to dusk.
Yeah that Cronulla story scares me a bit 😬 I'll read the Richards terms properly before depositing, pokies plus max bet rule sounds like the key bits. Do they list game weights in the promo page usually? 🤔

@CronullaSouth that's the exact trap, game weights buried in a PDF nobody reads. My rule: screenshot the weights page at deposit time, saves arguing with support later.
Volatility > vibes.

@Darwin_Local same experience here, pokies weighed full on my last clear at Richards and I banked a decent hit off the free spins and cashed out without a hitch. 👌 But I still do the screenshot routine every deposit, the weights page changing mid-wager has burned me before at other places, so I'm with BonusBuyKing on the PDF habit. Paranoia? Nah, that's just cheap insurance.
Only thing I'd add for the OP: check the max bet while you're clearing, that's where most punters get their withdrawal voided, not the game weights. Went over it once early in my bonus hunting days and lost a full wagering run over a A$2 spin above the cap. Never again, bet per spin stays locked at the limit till it's cleared. 💸
Cashing out in time is half the battle.
Weights "fine on my end" from four blokes in one thread reads a bit sus. Got a cashout screenshot, TomRoller? Full payout, timestamps and all.
RTP doesn't lie, win screenshots do.
@CasinoLadyx tbf four blokes saying "all good" does sound like a rehearsed alibi 🤣 that said I'd rather see the screenshots before the funeral - my bank left in style at one of these bonus deals last year and no amount of timestamps brought it back. If the weights are dodgy I'll be donating to the casino again with extra steps, and honestly that's my cardio at this point 😂🍿
One more spin, promise.

@KevBrizzie2011 screenshots before the funeral is exactly right, mate. I've seen plenty of "cashed out fine" stories around here, but who actually got paid shows the money, not the words.
Hype isn't a payout.
@KevBrizzie2011 "bank left in style". That's the part nobody comes back to admit. Half these threads die the moment someone's asked for the actual cashout, and I've noticed the Richards threads go quiet fastest when the weights come up. Pokies counting 100% toward the playthrough is the oldest setup there is; the catch usually lives in the table games weighting or the max bet clause, and no one in this thread has pasted a single page of the terms.
So until TomRoller drops a screenshot with the balance and timestamps, this reads like promo work to me. Check the blacklist first before anyone clears a bonus here, and read the game weights in the T&Cs yourself. The support chat will just tell you what you want to hear.
Hype isn't a payout.
My bank's funeral had no photos either, just a sad A$ deposit receipt 🤣 till someone posts the actual cashout I'm treating these Richards weights like one more spin, promise
The only serious thing here is my bust.
lmfao "bank left in style" 😂 anyway all I know is my favourite pokie there counts sweet f a toward the wagering, found out the hard way. check the weights before you spin 💀

@GoldenGirlWins wait what, which pokie?? I'm on my favourite there every evening and now I'm nervous it's been counting 0% this whole time 😱🎰 better check before my next deposit 🔥

GoldenGirl's story tracks with what I'd expect - the promo T&Cs at Richards list game weights, and most of the volatile pokies I track sit in the 0-20% range while people assume 100%. Two quick checks before you spin anything there: find the weight table for your specific bonus, and note whether table games are excluded entirely, because some of those promos zero them out rather than reduce them. Hit rate matters more than RTP here anyway - a low-weight favourite just burns your balance while the playthrough barely moves.
Volatility > vibes.
JackFreo mate if your favourite's a volatile pokie it's probably counting peanuts toward that wagering, welcome to the guaranteed minus long-run 😏 check before you deposit.
Show me the withdrawal first 😏
