Bonus wagering at imperial wins depends on more than the amount you stake. Game type, bet size, bonus restrictions and the source of your balance can all affect whether play contributes. This guide explains the main exclusions, how the 40x requirement works and what New Zealand players should check before accepting an offer. You can review imperial wins terms mid-sentence before depositing, but always rely on the current promotion rules.
How wagering at imperial wins is calculated
The welcome offer requires wagering of 40 times the bonus plus the qualifying deposit. If you deposit €20 and receive a €20 bonus, the stated wagering target is €1,600. Free-spin winnings have a separate 25x wagering requirement. These are turnover requirements, not a promise that every wager will count at the same rate.
The bonus and deposit are treated together
A qualifying balance must meet the promotion’s conditions from the start. The welcome pack requires a minimum deposit of €20, and the bonus can remain active for up to 7 days. If wagering is unfinished, the bonus, related winnings and bets placed may be deducted. The maximum bet during wagering is €4 per spin, or the equivalent amount shown for the account currency.
Which games may contribute less
Not every game makes the same contribution to a bonus target. The official promotion pages refer to a wagering contributions guide, while published third-party summaries report that standard pokies and scratchcards may contribute at 100%. Those figures should be checked against the specific promotion because contribution rates can change by title or campaign.
Why game selection matters
Reported lower-contribution categories include pokies with an RTP of 96.5% or higher at 30%, RNG table games at 8% and many other titles at 1%. These figures are not a licence to assume that every game in a category qualifies. A game with a low contribution can consume a large part of the 7-day period while adding only a small amount to the target.
- Check the contribution rate before opening a title.
- Prefer clearly eligible pokies when the promotion allows them.
- Do not switch games simply because a title displays a bonus feature.
- Keep the maximum wager at €4 or less while the requirement is active.
Bet types that can be excluded
imperial wins terms prohibit several strategies designed to move through a bonus without meaningful gaming risk. Feature buys and bonus buys are excluded during wagering. Equal, zero or minimal-margin bets are also prohibited, as is using bonus funds only to progress stages within a bonus game.
Sports bets and restricted play
Casino bonus funds and winnings derived from them must not be used for sports betting. The terms state that using those funds for sports can void all winnings on the balance. The same caution applies to switching from low-contribution games to high-contribution games purely to complete the requirement faster.
Before placing a bet, confirm that it is ordinary play permitted by the offer. A deposit may not qualify at all if your balance is above €1, a withdrawal is pending or another bonus is attached to that deposit.
Practical checks before claiming imperial wins bonuses
The welcome pack covers three deposits and offers up to €1,000 plus 150 free spins. The first deposit offers a 100% match up to €500, the second a 50% match up to €200, and the third a 100% match up to €300. The free spins are listed for Clash of Gods: Anubis vs Hades, Zeus Goes Wild and Take Olympus.

Record the promotion name, deposit amount and expiry time when you opt in. Screenshots can help if the displayed balance later looks different. The site also provides imperial wins live chat and 24/7 email support, so ask which games and bet types count before risking funds rather than after a disputed result.
- Read the promotion’s full terms and contribution guide.
- Confirm the bonus appears before starting play.
- Use only permitted games and ordinary bet types.
- Track the remaining target and the 7-day deadline.
- Withdraw only after the wagering conditions and any identity checks are complete.
What to do when a wager does not count
First compare the transaction with the promotion’s rules: game category, stake size, bet style, balance source and expiry date. Keep the round time, game name and stake amount. If the account history does not explain the result, contact support and request a written explanation of the contribution applied.
New Zealand players should also separate bonus terms from regulatory questions. The site quotes Curaçao licence OGL/2024/284/0863, but the regulator validator recorded that licence as revoked on 21 September 2026. There was no confirmed evidence in the available information that imperial wins holds a New Zealand licence. For official local gambling information, consult the Gambling Commission and do not treat a promotional page as regulatory approval.
Conclusion
A wager may fail to advance your target because the game contributes at a reduced rate, the bet breaks a bonus restriction or the funds are being used for sports. The safest approach is simple: read the live terms, stay within the €4 maximum bet, finish within 7 days and keep records of your play. Only claim a bonus when its conditions suit the way you intend to play. 18+ only. If gambling is causing concern, contact the NZ Gambling Helpline on 0800 654 655.
