The 100% deposit bonus steps and promo codes
The welcome package is split across four deposits, with a combined value of 375% up to $5,625 AUD plus 200 free spins. Three of those steps use a 100% match: Step 1, Step 2 and Step 4. Step 3 uses a 75% match instead, so it sits outside the exact 100% deposit bonus offer.
| Step | Promo code | Match | Extra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Step 1 | AXE1 | 100% up to $1,500 AUD | 50 free spins |
| Step 2 | AXE2 | 100% up to $1,125 AUD | 100 free spins |
| Step 4 | AXE4 | 100% up to $1,500 AUD | No free spins listed for this step |
Each 100% match doubles the qualifying deposit in bonus balance up to its stated cap. For example, a $100 AUD deposit with the first step can add a $100 AUD bonus, creating $200 AUD in combined deposit and bonus funds before wagering is completed. A $1,500 AUD deposit on Step 1 reaches the $1,500 AUD bonus cap, while a larger deposit does not create a larger match on that step.
Use the code for the step you are claiming
Enter AXE1 for the first deposit, AXE2 for the second and AXE4 for the fourth. The code needs to match the relevant welcome step.
How to claim the bonus without missing a step
The offer is tied to a qualifying deposit and the matching promo code. The minimum deposit for the welcome bonus is $30 AUD. If you want the free spins attached to Step 1 or Step 2, the corresponding step and code matter just as much as the deposit amount.
Choose your welcome step
Decide whether you are claiming Step 1, Step 2 or Step 4 of the 100% offer. Check the match cap and any free spins attached to that step.
Prepare at least $30 AUD
Make a qualifying deposit of $30 AUD or more. A larger deposit can produce a larger bonus until the relevant step’s maximum is reached.
Enter the correct promo code
Use AXE1 for Step 1, AXE2 for Step 2 or AXE4 for Step 4. Take a moment to check the code before confirming the promotion.
Play within the bonus rules
The bonus remains valid for 7 days. During that period, the maximum bet is $8 AUD per spin, and the wagering requirement applies to the deposit plus bonus together.
Complete the wagering
Once the required wagering is finished and the other terms are met, the bonus balance can move towards withdrawal subject to the applicable cashout rule.
A practical point: do not treat the bonus balance as ordinary cash straight away. The offer has a time limit, a maximum spin value and a substantial wagering requirement. Honestly, this is the part most people skip, but it is where the real cost of a promotion is easiest to understand.
Ready to use a 100% match?
Pick the welcome step first, then make sure the promo code, deposit and bonus terms line up before you start playing.
Wagering on the 100% deposit bonus: the calculation made clear
The welcome bonus carries a 45× wagering requirement calculated on the combined deposit and bonus amount. That means the calculation is not based on the bonus alone. A $100 AUD deposit receiving a $100 AUD match creates a $200 AUD combined amount, so the wagering target is 45 × $200 AUD, or $9,000 AUD.
| Deposit | Bonus | Combined amount | 45× wagering target |
|---|---|---|---|
| $30 AUD | $30 AUD | $60 AUD | $2,700 AUD |
| $100 AUD | $100 AUD | $200 AUD | $9,000 AUD |
| $1,125 AUD | $1,125 AUD | $2,250 AUD | $101,250 AUD |
| $1,500 AUD | $1,500 AUD | $3,000 AUD | $135,000 AUD |
The table shows the maths rather than suggesting a particular deposit. With Step 2, a $1,125 AUD deposit reaches the full 100% bonus cap. With Step 1 or Step 4, the maximum match is reached with a $1,500 AUD deposit. If you claim a smaller amount, the bonus and wagering figures reduce with it.
Which games contribute to wagering?
- Pokies and slots contribute 100% to the wagering requirement.
- Roulette, card games, poker, video poker and craps contribute 5%.
- Jackpot games and crash games contribute 0%.
- Some slot games are excluded from wagering contribution.
Slots therefore provide the full contribution rate, while the listed table and card categories add wagering more slowly. A game’s contribution rate changes how quickly the target is reached; it does not change the 45× requirement itself.
The $8 AUD spin limit applies while the bonus is active
The maximum bet during an active welcome bonus is $8 AUD per spin. Going above that amount can put the promotion at risk, so keep your stake at or below the stated limit until the bonus conditions are complete.
Free spins, validity and cashout rules
Step 1 includes 50 free spins and Step 2 includes 100 free spins. The welcome free spins are awarded for Wild Cash and Big Atlantis Frenzy by BGaming. Free spin winnings have a maximum of $750 AUD, and the 45× wagering rule on the welcome offer applies to the combined deposit and bonus amount.
The welcome bonus is valid for 7 days. That short window covers the bonus conditions, so it is sensible to consider whether you can use the promotion within that period before claiming it. The Step 4 100% match has no free spins listed with it, while its match can reach $1,500 AUD.
| Rule | Limit |
|---|---|
| Minimum qualifying deposit | $30 AUD |
| Wagering | 45× deposit + bonus |
| Maximum bet while bonus is active | $8 AUD per spin |
| Welcome bonus validity | 7 days |
| Welcome bonus maximum cashout | 5× the deposit |
| Free spin winnings cap | $750 AUD |
The welcome bonus cashout is capped at 5× the deposit. For example, if the qualifying deposit is $100 AUD, the maximum cashout under that welcome bonus rule is $500 AUD. The cap is based on the deposit amount, not simply the size of the bonus displayed.
A simple pre-claim check
Before depositing, check four things: the correct step, the matching promo code, the 7-day validity period and whether the 45× wagering target suits the way you plan to play.
Other deposit promotions after the welcome steps
The 100% welcome offer is part of a wider set of deposit promotions. These are separate from the first, second and fourth welcome steps, so their codes and terms should not be mixed together.
| Promotion | Value | Key deposit rule | Code or timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuesday Reload | 45% up to $750 AUD | $30 AUD minimum; 45× wagering; 7 days | TUESDAY, Tuesdays |
| Thursday Combo | 75% up to $750 AUD + 25 FS | $30 AUD minimum; 45× wagering; 7 days | THURSDAY, Thursdays |
| Daily Bonus | 25 FS today + 25 FS tomorrow | $100 AUD minimum | Daily |
| Weekend Bonus | 70% up to $750 AUD | Available Friday - Sunday | Friday - Sunday |
| Weekend with FS | 75% up to $750 AUD + 25 FS | Available Friday - Sunday | Friday - Sunday |
There is also a High Roller Package worth 500% up to $9,750 AUD plus 300 free spins across four bonuses. It has a $380 AUD minimum deposit, 45× wagering on the bonus and separate codes from AXEHR1 through AXEHR4. That package is a different promotion from the standard 100% welcome steps.
If you prefer to build rewards through regular play, the Axe Casino VIP Club has nine levels, from Level 0 Flotr to Level 8 Drakkar. Players earn 1 comp point for every $30 USD/EUR wagered on pokies, while cashback begins at Level 4 and rises to 15% at Level 8. Cashback is calculated on real-money spend during the week and credited every Monday.
Deposits, withdrawals and support for bonus players
AUD is supported, and Visa, Mastercard and Maestro deposits are listed from $30 to $6,000 AUD. Other deposit methods include Skrill, Neteller, Payz, PaysafeCard, AstroPay, MiFinity, MuchBetter, bank transfer, Interac and cryptocurrency options. Crypto deposits include Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, XRP, Dogecoin, USDT, USDC, BNB, ADA and TRX, with no stated upper deposit limit for crypto.
Bonus wagering must be completed before withdrawal. Withdrawals are limited to $2,500 USD or EUR per day, $7,500 USD or EUR per week and $15,000 USD or EUR per month, with higher payout limits for VIP players. Withdrawals are processed within 72 hours of approval; bank transfers take 3-5 days, while crypto withdrawals are handled fastest.
A first withdrawal may require identity verification and document checks before funds are approved. Support is available 24/7 through live chat and email, with a contact form also available. Axe Casino uses SSL encryption for transactions and personal data, and the minimum age is 18+.
Check the numbers before you deposit
A 100% match can look straightforward, but the deposit-plus-bonus wagering, $8 AUD spin limit and 5× cashout cap are just as important as the headline percentage.
