Best Christmas Casino Bonuses, Tournaments & Games in Australia

King Billy was already near the top even before the ‘improved’ welcome bonus, so what’s their Christmas gift for us? They slashed the already below-average 30x wagering requirements to 25x!

Now, with a welcome package of up to A$2,500 and 250 free spins AND just 25x wagering requirements, I can confidently say that King Billy currently has the best welcome bonus of all Australian casinos.

Their Xmas bonus made my first spot because it’s an actual gift, and you don’t have to do anything special to claim it. They had something good, and they made it better, so well done, King Billy! Now, the lower wagering requirements only apply to the welcome bonus, so it’s intended for newly registered players only.

For its regulars, King Billy has another Christmas bonus – an Advent Calendar-style promotion where you can claim a different bonus every day, like a spin at the Fortune Wheel, 45 free spins, etc. Obviously, you don’t know next day’s offer, so there’s an element of surprise (it’s how Advent Calendars work), but as you’ll see further down my Xmas bonus list, many Australian casinos went with this type of a bonus.

Stay Casino ‘Christmasfied’ their welcome bonus too, so new users who register during the festive period can get a welcome package of up to A$5,000 and 350 free spins. To be perfectly honest here, Stay Casino’s welcome bonus was already generous, so it’s not like this is some major upgrade, but it’s still a more-than-decent deal. It comes with 40x wagering requirements on both the bonus part and the free spins, and the minimum qualifying deposit is A$30.

As I mentioned, Advent Calendars are a theme this year, and Stay Casino also runs a daily promotion throughout December. The maximum amount you can get if you collect all Christmas bonuses is A$2,800 and 1,300 FS, and what I especially like here is that you can claim the Day 1 bonus later in the month. Not just Day 1, but you can claim any of the daily bonuses any day throughout December, and this is the main reason why Stay Casino is my #2 choice right behind King Billy and not another platform.

While King Billy went with the ‘lower the WR’ route, Wild Tokyo went the other route – improve the welcome bonus amount. So, the Christmas bonus at Wild Tokyo casino is a welcome package that combines a deposit match of up to 270% and A$5,300 for the first three deposits, 700 free spins, and 15 coins.

The T&Cs remain unchanged, which means that the wagering requirements are 50x for both the bonus and free spins parts, and you know how I feel about wagering requirements higher than 40x. This is the only reason why I bumped Wild Tokyo lower down my list, but I can’t fault the bonus amount.

Wild Tokyo has some other aces up its sleeve, though. They have a special Christmas Weekend Bonus that combines a 60% deposit match of up to A$400 and 50 free spins, and while this is not some groundbreaking deal, they also have no deposit rewards for collecting daily bonuses. So, when you combine all the Xmas bonuses, it’s a more-than-decent package, so Wild Tokyo is well deserving of a top 3 spot on my list.

I’ve always been a fan of Rolling Slots’ theme because Rock’n’Roll baby!, but now they gave me another reason to like it – their dedication to Christmas. I’m a sucker for Xmas decorations, and I really love how they went all in with the Christmas theme here. Like, they truly did a full website revamp just for Xmas, and we got to give them credit for that.

I’ll also give them credit for their Christmas Welcome Pack, which follows the example of Wild Tokyo and Stay Casino and combines a deposit match of up to 330% and A$6,400 with 730 FS, a significant improvement over their standard welcome bonus. The wagering requirements are 45x, and the minimum deposit is a standard A$30.

Besides the welcome bonus, Rolling Slots also has a daily Xmas bonus (sort of like an Advent Calendar) and the daily reward and minimum required deposit are different each day, but they’re usually either free spins, bonus money, a Fortune Wheel spin, or a combination of the three.

Ritzo’s December promotion is called Arctic Diamond Nights, and it works like a daily promo that you can only claim on the day that it’s offered (so you can’t go back to the earlier daily promos or ‘skip’ a promo and claim the next one). For example, if the December 20 daily bonus is 84 free spins on Santa Mummy, you can only claim it on December 20.

So, the daily December bonus calendar is fairly standard and doesn’t really stand out from casinos like DragonSlots or Bizzo, but the standout feature here is the hidden stockings.

It works like an Easter Egg promotion, and the details are a secret, so you have to find out each of the 6 hidden stockings and click on them to reveal the bonus. I won’t say more because I don’t want to ruin the surprise, but let’s just say that it’s well worth your time to look for those stockings.

Neospin’s Christmas Calendar runs from 10 to 25 December, but even though the promotional time is shorter than most of the casinos on this list, it does pack a punch. I especially like the no deposit free spins you can claim, and I would say that it’s the part that makes this bonus unique.

The bonus can only be claimed on the particular day, so if the Day 3 bonus has expired, for example, you won’t be able to claim it. Also, the bonuses for the following days are locked, which means that you can only claim 1 bonus per day – the bonus that’s on offer that particular day.

Richard Casino jumped on the Advent Calendar bandwagon and offers a daily bonus every day from December 1 to December 25. All the bonuses require a deposit and a promo code to be used, so you need to open the Advent Calendar page to check out the exact offer and promo code for the day.

The minimum deposit requirement is A$30, and the bonuses are very similar to the other Christmas deals at other casinos, so most of them are free spins for a specific pokie, but occasionally, you can get a bonus like a deposit match of a spin at the Wheel of Fortune.

The wagering requirements are 40x for all the daily bonuses (except the Wheel of Fortune deals), so I’d say that they’re within the industry standards.

The Christmas bonus at DragonSlots is an Advent Calendar, and they’ve placed it in their Missions feature. I actually like how, instead of a standard calendar, they styled it like an interactive festive map where you move to the gift boxes, and each box unlocks a new bonus.

The prizes include free spins, Wheel of Fortune spins, and similar, but one very important rule to mention here is that the Advent Calendar promotion is only available to users who have made at least three deposits here, so unless you have three or more deposits, you can’t participate in it.

I won’t get into much detail about Bizzo’s Advent Calendar because it’s identical to DragonSlots’, which means that it runs for 31 days (from December 9 to January 8), and you need at least three deposits to be eligible.

The rewards themselves also follow the same pattern as DragonSlots. On some days, you’ll get smaller no deposit perks like 10 free spins on Burning Chilli X, while other days unlock rewards that require a deposit, like 50 free spins on Big Bass Splash with a minimum A$30 deposit.

The idea is to have a mixed calendar where each reward is different, so I think they executed it well enough.

Slotozen is yet another Australian casino that runs an Advent Calendar as a Christmas bonus, and it’s part of their Missions program. Much like all the other Advent Calendars on this list, you only get to open one gift daily, and it contains a prize like free spins, bonus credits, or coins that you can exchange for other bonuses.

Note that the Christmas Advent Calendar is only available for users who have placed at least 5 deposits at Slotozen, but even minimum deposits count.
