Your first top-up from NZ$6

Fund the account with at least NZ$6 using a method in your own name. Anything below that minimum will not trigger the welcome match.

Tick the welcome box first

On the deposit screen, tick the welcome offer before you confirm the payment. A deposit sent without it selected is treated as a plain top-up.

Wagering that expires in 24 days

Play through 28× the bonus plus your deposit inside 24 days. Track the counter in your account so the deadline never arrives unnoticed.

Keep what you won

Skip these four and keep your winnings

Read this the moment a bonus lands in your balance, not after the wagering stalls.

Verify before you deposit

Withdrawal requests stall at the cashier when proof of identity, proof of address or payment confirmation is missing, and the check can take around 63 hours.

Send all three documents right after signing up

Check your email for anything still pending

Expiry creeping up unnoticed

Twenty-four days pass quickly, and any unplayed wagering on the bonus and deposit is cancelled once the clock runs out, taking the bonus with it.

Note the expiry date in your calendar

Play most of the wagering in the first week

Deposit without the opt-in

Silversands tie the match to a tick box at the cashier, so money sent before you opt in sits as a plain deposit with no bonus attached.

Pick the welcome offer first, then pay

Re-check the cashier before every top-up

Before the wagering, after the winnings

Cashing out mid-way through 28× wagering forfeits the bonus and the winnings built on it, even when the balance looks ready to go.

Track your wagering in the cashier

Wait until it reads complete, then withdraw

Answers worth having

Deciding whether to take the bonus

Settles the questions that decide it for you: claim, wager, withdraw, or skip.

trustCan I claim the bonus on my phone?+

Yes, and nothing changes on a phone. The bonus sits on your account, not on one device, so you can claim it in a mobile browser and pick up the wagering later on a laptop. Keep one account only, because duplicate accounts get closed.

trustWhy is the wagering on the welcome bonus so high?+

It is the amount you must play through before bonus money turns into cash: here the welcome offer asks for 28× wagering on bonus and deposit. A NZ$200 deposit with a NZ$338 bonus means NZ$9,464 played through. Winnings from spins carry 28× too.

trustWhat if I cannot finish the wagering in 24 days?+

The clock starts when the bonus is credited, and you get 24 days to finish. Anything unwagered at the end is taken back, along with winnings tied to it. Spins follow the same 24 days to complete.

trustDo I need to check the casino's licence before claiming?+

You do not need a licence to play, but the operator needs one, and this one holds ALSI-575876 from the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority. That is the regulator your complaint would go to. New Zealand's own licensing regime under the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026 is rolling out alongside it.

trustWhat if I just play with my own money instead?+

Play carries on without one, and nothing is held back from your own money. You simply skip the playthrough and the 24-day countdown, and withdrawals are not tied to wagering. Spins and cashback still appear if you claim them.

trustWhere do my bonus winnings go when I cash out?+

Winnings go wherever your balance goes, so keep to the cashier and the payment methods on your account. The minimum request is NZ$9 and the ceiling is NZ$26,000. Expect the verification check first: identity, address and payment proof, which can take up to 63 hours.

trustWhat happens when I have already used my welcome offer?+

Every Monday, 19% cashback lands on the prior week's net loss, and no wagering is attached to it. Rewards tiers from Bronze to VIP open as you play, with more behind each step. Direct marketing only reaches you if you gave express consent.
