Promo code types and when to use them
What Promo Codes Are
Promo codes are short text codes that unlock a specific offer in Milky Way Casino. A code can trigger a deposit bonus, free spins on a listed slot, a cashback rate for a set period, or entry into a tournament. Each code has conditions: a minimum deposit, eligible games, a wagering requirement, and an expiry date.
Where To Find Them
Milky Way Casino publishes promo codes in three places: the Promotions page in your account, email newsletters (sent to the address linked to your profile), and occasional on-site banners during campaign periods. Some codes are account-specific and work only for the player who received them; others are public and work for any eligible account until the campaign ends.
How To Activate A Promo Code
Log in, open the Cashier, and choose your payment method. Enter the promo code in the field labeled Promo code (or similar) before confirming the deposit, then check that the bonus line appears in the payment summary. If the code does not apply, re-check spelling and spacing, confirm the deposit meets the minimum, and verify the code matches your currency and region settings in your profile.
After the bonus credits, open the bonus section in your account to see the attached rules: wagering, max bet, and game contribution. Play only the eligible games until the wagering counter reaches zero, then withdrawable funds move to your cash balance under the casino’s standard withdrawal rules.

Wagering (Playthrough) Terms At Milky Way Casino
Wagering, also called playthrough, is the amount you must bet before Milky Way Casino lets you withdraw a bonus and any winnings from it. A “30x” requirement means you need to place total bets worth 30 times the bonus amount (and sometimes the bonus plus the deposit, depending on the bonus rule).
- Example 1 (bonus-only wagering): You claim a $50 bonus with a 30x wagering requirement on the bonus. You must place $50 × 30 = $1,500 in total bets before the bonus balance becomes withdrawable.
- Example 2 (deposit + bonus wagering): You deposit $100 and receive a $100 bonus with a 35x wagering requirement on deposit + bonus. The wagering target is ($100 + $100) × 35 = $7,000 in total bets before you can withdraw bonus-related funds.
