Weekly Promotions Keep Ritzo Fresh for AU Players
Reload offers, free spins drops on selected slots, live dealer leaderboards and cashback, run on a rolling weekly and monthly schedule.
How Promotions Work at Ritzo
Last updated: August 27, 2026
Our welcome package gets new players started, but the promotions calendar is what keeps the lobby interesting week after week. Here's how each recurring offer type actually works, so you know what you're opting into before you tap claim.
Reload Offers
A reload is a deposit match offered on a top-up after your welcome bonus is used, cleared or expired. We typically run these on set days of the week, meaning the match percentage and any spins attached can differ from one Tuesday to the next. Reloads are opt-in through the promotions tab in your account, and the match rate, minimum deposit and wagering requirement are stated in full on the offer page at the time it's live. T&Cs apply, 18+.
Because reload terms rotate, we don't fix a permanent match rate on this page. Always check the offer card before you deposit, since claiming automatically locks in whatever wagering and game-weighting rules apply to that specific reload.
Free Spins Drops on Selected Slots
Free spins drops are batches of spins credited to specific pokies, usually new releases from Pragmatic Play, NoLimit City or Yggdrasil. "Selected slots" means exactly that: the spins won't work on every title in the lobby, only the ones named in that drop's terms. Spin value, game eligibility and expiry windows are set per drop and shown on the claim screen. T&Cs apply, 18+.
Winnings from free spins are usually credited as bonus funds subject to wagering, not cash, so it's worth reading the specific requirement before you start spinning through it. If a drop expires unused, the spins are forfeited, they don't roll over into the next one.
Live Casino Leaderboards
Leaderboards reward volume and consistency at the live tables rather than a single big win. Points typically accrue from real-money stakes on eligible Evolution Gaming tables such as blackjack, roulette or game shows, and rankings update during the promotion window. Prize pools, the number of paid positions and the qualifying stake period are published on the leaderboard's own terms page for that round. T&Cs apply, 18+.
Because leaderboard tables can change between rounds, we don't repeat game lists or prize structures here. If you play live tables regularly, it's worth checking the current leaderboard before a session, since points sometimes only start counting once a minimum stake threshold is reached.
Cashback
Cashback returns a portion of net losses over a set period, commonly weekly, as bonus funds or, in some cycles, as withdrawable cash. Calculation windows, the percentage returned and any wagering attached to the cashback credit are set out in that cycle's terms. Cashback is generally calculated automatically and credited without needing a bonus code, but eligibility can be tied to account status or recent activity. T&Cs apply, 18+.
| Promotion | Typical trigger | Usually credited as |
|---|---|---|
| Reload offer | Deposit on a promo day | Bonus funds |
| Free spins drop | Opt-in or automatic on eligible slots | Bonus funds after wagering |
| Live leaderboard | Real-money stakes on eligible tables | Prize (cash or bonus, per terms) |
| Cashback | Net losses over the cycle | Bonus funds or cash, per terms |
Opting In and Tracking Progress
Most reloads and spins drops need an opt-in tap from the promotions tab before you deposit or spin, while leaderboards and cashback generally track in the background once you're playing eligible games. Your account dashboard shows active promotions, wagering progress and expiry countdowns in real time, so you can see exactly how far a bonus is from clearing.
- Check the offer card for minimum deposit, match rate and expiry before opting in
- Confirm which pokies or live tables are eligible, since weighting and eligibility vary by promotion
- Watch wagering progress in your account rather than assuming a bonus has cleared
- Note whether a prize or cashback pays out as cash or as bonus funds subject to further wagering
Playing Within Your Limits
Promotions are designed to add value to sessions you'd already be playing, not a reason to chase losses or extend a session past what you'd planned. If a reload or leaderboard push starts feeling like pressure rather than fun, our deposit limits and self-exclusion tools are available in account settings, and free, confidential support is one call away through Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 or at https://www.gamblinghelponline.org.au/. Ritzo is for players 18 and over.

How Promotions Work at Ritzo
Do I need a bonus code for Ritzo's reload offers?
Usually not. Most reloads and spins drops are opt-in through the promotions tab in your account, though some cycles may use a code shown on the offer page. Always check the specific terms before depositing. T&Cs apply, 18+.
Which pokies qualify for free spins drops?
Only the titles named on that drop's terms, usually a small selection of newer releases from providers like Pragmatic Play or NoLimit City. Eligible games change between drops, so check the current list before opting in.
How do live casino leaderboards decide the winners?
Points build from real-money stakes on eligible Evolution Gaming tables during the promotion window. The exact scoring, prize pool and paid positions are set out on that round's leaderboard terms page.
Is cashback paid as cash or as a bonus?
It depends on the cycle. Some cashback credits arrive as withdrawable cash, others as bonus funds with a wagering requirement attached. The current cycle's terms always state which applies.
Can I run a reload and a cashback offer at the same time?
Sometimes, but not always, since some promotions exclude combining with others while a bonus is active. Check each offer's terms for any exclusivity rule before opting in.
