Casino bonuses and promotions are a huge part of how casinos differentiate themselves and attract new users. In particular, any original or unique offers go a long way – and PlayStar has some fun innovations up its sleeve.
You can check out all the different offers by clicking on the “Promotions” tab on the PlayStar platform. I’ll be covering everything I found on offer while reviewing PlayStar below.
Welcome Bonus $500 + 500 Free Spins
The welcome bonus is every casino’s first big pitch so it needs to be eye-catching – and it’s clear that PlayStar got the memo.
All new players qualify for a 100% deposit bonus which maxes out a possible $500. That means if you deposit $500 up front, you’ll start off with a $1,000 bankroll. A $100 deposit means a $200 bankroll, and so on.
But that’s not all. You’ll also get 100 free spins, regardless of how much you deposit. And on your second and third deposits, you’ll get another 200 free spins each – meaning there’s a total of 500 free spins up for grabs, all as part of your welcome bonus.
I love these multi-part bonuses, and 500 is definitely at the upper end of the usual free spin offers.
As always, there are some terms and conditions to be aware of. You’ll need to deposit a minimum of $20 to trigger the bonus. Your initial free spins only get unlocked once you’ve wagered your deposit, so it’s not actually a no-deposit bonus.
And of course, the most important condition of all is the wagering requirements. PlayStar requires you to gamble with your bonus cash 30x before its eligible for withdrawal, which is right around average for the industry.
All in all, there is a lot to like about this bonus.
PlayStar Bonus Code
No bonus code or promo code is required to unlock the PlayStar welcome bonus. In fact, unlike many welcome bonuses you don’t even need to claim it during registration.
All you need to do is sign up and then head to the cashier to make your first deposit. When doing so, choose the Welcome Bonus option from the drop-down menu and continue with your deposit. The bonus will trigger automatically once your payment is processed.
PlayStar Daily Prize Wheel
On-running promotions might not attract the same headlines as welcome bonuses, but they are certainly very important from a customer perspective. The best casinos continue to provide special offers long after players have signed up, to keep them happy and invested in the site.
At PlayStar, that means the Daily Prize Wheel, which you get to spin every single day providing you gamble $50 on slots. The Prize Wheel offers guaranteed prizes – which is always great to hear – of either free spins or cash.
Our only criticism here is that if you’re not into slots, you won’t get the chance to spin the wheel. I’d like to see the offer expanded a little, so that everyone gets an opportunity.
Free Daily Lotto Game
This is a nice little perk available to anyone who has deposited $20 in the last seven days. Every day, you get to enter a unique Lotto Deluxe game, totally free. Pick 5 numbers and see if you’re lucky enough to win a prize – either free spins or cash.
I’m a big fan of little promotional touches like this – it’s not exactly a game changer but it’s fun, simple, and really adds to the experience overall.
PlayStar Club
PlayStar Club is the PlayStar NJ loyalty program. It functions pretty much like the classic rewards program, with 5 different levels which you progress through the more you play.
Every real money bet you place earns you reward points, which count towards your level and can also be cashed in for different prizes. As always, the prizes get more interesting the higher you climb.
I particularly like some of the real-world prizes, like restaurant vouchers, sporting event tickets, and gift cards.
Overall I like the PlayStar Club, even though the best prizes are contingent on you earning a lot of points first – which means spending a lot of money gambling
