The Astromania welcome package, paced across ten days
The welcome package at Astromania Casino is 250% up to €3,000 (about £2,542.89) over four deposits, together with 350 free spins and one Bonus Crab pick. Every stage starts at a €20 deposit (about £16.95), wagering is 35x on deposit plus bonus, and the bonus has 10 days to be cleared. While it is active the maximum bet is €5 (about £4.24). The sums below turn those five figures into a day-by-day plan for a UK player.
What each stage costs in turnover per euro of bonus
The first deposit pays 100% plus 200 free spins. Beyond it, the matches are usually 75%, 50% and 25%, with ceilings of €500, €500 and €1,000. Because wagering applies to deposit plus bonus, a smaller match means more turnover for each euro of bonus received.
| Stage | Match | Turnover for €1 of bonus | Money on the account per €1 of bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100% | €70 | €2 |
| 2 | 75% | about €81.67 | about €2.33 |
| 3 | 50% | €105 | €3 |
| 4 | 25% | €175 | €5 |
The first stage is by far the cheapest way to earn bonus money; the fourth costs two and a half times as much turnover per euro.
Pace milestones for €35, €150 and €400 over the ten days
Take a first-stage deposit and set three checkpoints: 30% of the turnover by day 3, half by day 5, everything by day 10. The 30% and 50% marks are a planning device, not terms of the offer; they stop a player leaving the whole sum to the last days.
| First deposit | Turnover at 35x | By day 3 | By day 5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| €35 (£29.67) | €2,450 (£2,076.69) | €735 (£623.01) | €1,225 (£1,038.35) |
| €150 (£127.14) | €10,500 (£8,900.12) | €3,150 (£2,670.03) | €5,250 (£4,450.06) |
| €400 (£339.05) | €28,000 (£23,733.64) | €8,400 (£7,120.09) | €14,000 (£11,866.82) |
A player who has done only €900 by day 5 has to lift the daily figure to catch up: on the €35 line the remaining €1,550 over five days is €310 a day. The €150 line asks for €1,050 a day and the €400 line for €2,800, so the size of the first deposit is a decision about how much play a ten-day window can hold. On the €35 line, five evenings of €490 at a €2 stake mean 245 bets a night.
The €5 cap decides how many bets the turnover needs
With the maximum bet at €5, the €2,450 of the €35 plan needs at least 490 bets. At €2 a stake it needs 1,225 bets, and at €1 it needs 2,450. Stakes smaller than the cap stretch the same turnover over more rounds, which suits a slow evening session but puts pressure on the 10-day limit. Over 10 days that is 49 bets a day at €5, 123 a day at €2 (1,225 divided by 10) and 245 a day at €1.
Free-spin winnings carry 40x, not 35x
Money won from free spins is wagered 40x instead of 35x. Spin winnings of €50 therefore need €2,000 (about £1,695.26) of turnover, against €1,750 (about £1,483.35) if the same €50 were bonus money. That is €250 (about £211.91) more turnover than the same sum in bonus money.
Skrill and Neteller: the two routes that start nothing
A deposit by Skrill or Neteller does not qualify for the welcome package. Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, Paysafecard, Neosurf and bank transfer remain open for the first stage, and the €20 minimum applies whichever is chosen. A €150 (about £127.14) stage-one deposit sent by Skrill would forgo a €150 match and the 200 free spins, so the route comes first in the plan, before any pace is set.
Other offers that sit beside the welcome package
The weekly reload pays 50 free spins on a €20 deposit. The weekend reload is 50% on a €20 deposit, so a €150 (about £127.14) deposit would bring €75 (about £63.57). The sports welcome is 100% up to €100 (about £84.76): a €60 deposit earns €60, and anything from €100 up earns the full €100.
Live casino cashback is 25% with 1x wagering.
