My uncle Terry taught maths in Hobart for thirty-one years and still can’t read a menu without totting up the specials. When he started playing pokies online, he didn’t ask what the site looked like. He asked for “the numbers”. Every one of them.
So here’s LevelUp, Terry style. Eight numbers, what each one actually means for an Australian player, and where the catch hides, because there’s always a catch. He’d have my hide if I skipped that bit.

2020: not new, not ancient
The site has been running since 2020, operated by Dama N.V., a company behind several casino brands on the same platform. Six years is a decent run in this industry. Long enough for the cashier, the bonus engine and the account tools to be well worn in, which mostly means they work without drama.
7,000+: a lobby you won’t finish
Pokies make up the bulk of it, from studios Aussies know well: Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, BGaming, Yggdrasil and a long list of smaller names. Classic three-reelers, Megaways, Hold and Win, Bonus Buy, jackpots, the lot. Most pokies run in demo mode, so you can learn a game before a dollar goes in.
Terry’s view on seven thousand games: “Nobody needs more than ten.” He’s got nine favourites. He’s working on the tenth.
700+: the live side
Hundreds of live tables, with Evolution among the studios behind them. Blackjack, roulette, baccarat and the show-style games with a host and a big wheel. Live tables are real money only, no demo, and each table shows its minimum and maximum bet before you sit down. Check that first. It’s the one number people skip.
A$20: the entry ticket
Australian accounts run in AUD, and the usual minimum deposit is about A$20. Card, e-wallet and crypto options all sit in the cashier, with crypto covering the big coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and USDT. Deposits land instantly. The exact list you see depends on your account, so the cashier after login is the real answer.
4 and 40x: how the welcome package works
The welcome offer is split across the first four deposits, each with a match bonus and free spins. The headline totals change with the season, which is why no single figure is printed here; the promotions page always shows the current one.
What changes much less is the structure. Bonus funds usually carry wagering around 40x, there’s a maximum bet while you’re clearing it, and games count toward wagering at different rates. Terry made me put this in a table:
|
You bet |
On |
Counts toward wagering |
|
A$10 |
a pokie |
A$10, the full amount |
|
A$10 |
a table game |
only a fraction, often 10% or less |
|
A$10 |
a live table |
often little or nothing |
So 40x on a A$100 bonus means A$4,000 in bets, and that only moves at full speed on pokies. Play blackjack with bonus money and you’ll be at it untill Christmas. Or skip the bonus entirely and play with a clean balance. Plenty of people do, simply because it keeps withdrawals uncomplicated.
24 hours: getting paid
Crypto withdrawals usually land within about a day once your account is verified. Cards and bank transfers take longer, typically a few business days. Two things speed everything up: verify on day one by uploading your ID and a proof of address, and withdraw to the same method you deposited with.
There’s also a ceiling on how much can come out per day and per month, which only matters if you land something big. If you do, it arrives in instalments. Terry calls that “a nice problem to have”.
18+: the one that isn’t negotiable
You must be 18 or over, and it’s checked properly during verification. Worth saying plainly because the account tools that come with it are useful to everyone, not just the young: deposit limits, session reminders, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion, all in the account settings.
And the number Terry added himself
Zero. As in, the number of Australian regulators that look after offshore casino accounts. LevelUp operates offshore, so if a dispute ever went badly there’s no local body to call. The games and payouts are real, but it’s worth keeping your own record of deposits and withdrawals, verifying early, and not leaving a big balance sitting there.
Where to see the current figures
Promotions rotate, the lobby grows, limits get tuned. The live versions of all eight numbers are on LevelUp casino, where the casino lobby, cashier and promotions page are open to browse before you register.
Set a deposit limit before your first top-up, the way Terry sets a budget before he opens the menu. And if gambling ever stops adding up, Gambling Help Online is free and confidential on 1800 858 858, 24/7.
