How the Stardust Welcome Package Works
Last updated: September 30, 2026
We built our welcome package around a simple idea: give new players from Canada a fair runway on slots and live tables in the currency they already use. Here is the structure, in plain terms, with no invented numbers and no guesswork.
When you open an account with us, your first deposits can trigger a welcome package rather than a single one-off bonus. That package typically combines a deposit match, credited as bonus funds on top of your own money, with a batch of free spins on selected slots. The exact percentages, deposit tiers, and spin counts are confirmed at signup and in full on our Terms page, because those figures can shift with promotional cycles and we would rather point you to the current version than print a number here that goes stale.
Every deposit and every bonus credit at Stardust runs in Canadian Dollars. You will not see your balance converted into USD or EUR at any point, and there is no currency conversion fee hiding inside the bonus terms. Whether you fund your account through Interac e-Transfer, a Visa or Mastercard, or a crypto deposit in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or USDT, the bonus amount and any wagering target are calculated in CAD from the moment the funds land.
Wagering Requirements, Explained Simply
A wagering requirement, sometimes called a playthrough requirement, is the multiple you need to bet through before bonus funds convert into withdrawable cash. If a wagering requirement is listed as 30x on a bonus, that means the bonus amount, or in some cases the bonus plus deposit combined, needs to be wagered thirty times over before you can cash out winnings tied to it. The exact multiple, whether it applies to the bonus alone or to bonus plus deposit, and the maximum time window to clear it are all set out in our Terms and Conditions page, and we recommend reading that page fully before you opt in to any offer.
- Wagering usually applies to bonus funds first, before your own deposited cash is touched
- Not every game contributes equally: slots often count at 100 percent, table games and live dealer titles typically count less or not at all
- There is usually a maximum bet size while a bonus is active, and betting above it can void the offer
- Bonus funds and free spin winnings often carry a maximum withdrawal cap, separate from your standard cashout limits
- Wagering requirements expire after a set number of days, so idle bonus balances can be forfeited
Free Spins on Selected Slots
Alongside deposit match funds, the welcome package usually includes free spins on selected slots from studios such as Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, and Play'n GO. These spins are tied to specific titles chosen for the promotion, not applied account-wide, so check which game the spins unlock before you plan a session around them. Winnings from free spins are usually credited as bonus funds, which means they carry the same wagering requirement as your deposit match before they can be withdrawn.
We rotate which slots carry free spin promotions from time to time. If a specific title stops qualifying, any spins already credited to your account remain valid for the stated expiry period, they simply will not renew automatically. Our Promotions page tracks which slots are currently active for spin-based offers outside the welcome package itself.
Eligibility and Account Basics
The welcome package is intended for new players opening a first account with us, and is limited to one per person, one per household, and one per payment method. You need to be 19 or older to register and play, in line with the minimum legal age that applies across the Canadian provinces. We ask for standard identity and payment verification before larger withdrawals, which is a security step, not a way to delay your bonus.
Stardust operates as an international platform, and no single Canadian regulator licenses offshore casino sites for players in this market. Whatever licence Stardust currently holds is confirmed on our Terms page and in the site footer, and we encourage you to check that before depositing, alongside the registered company details also published there.

How the Stardust Welcome Package Works
Is the Stardust welcome package paid out in CAD?
Yes. Your deposit, the bonus match, and any wagering targets are all calculated in Canadian Dollars. There is no conversion into USD or another currency at any stage.
Do free spins winnings pay out straight away?
Usually not immediately. Winnings from free spins on selected slots are typically credited as bonus funds, which carry the same wagering requirement as the rest of the welcome package before they become withdrawable.
Which games count toward clearing the wagering requirement?
Slots generally contribute the most toward wagering, often at 100 percent. Live dealer tables and certain table games usually contribute less or are excluded entirely. Full weighting is listed on our Terms and Conditions page.
What happens if I do not clear the wagering requirement in time?
Bonus funds and any related winnings are forfeited once the stated expiry window passes without the wagering requirement being met. The exact number of days is set out in the Terms page for the current promotion.
Can I use Interac e-Transfer to trigger the welcome package?
Yes. Interac e-Transfer, Visa, Mastercard, and supported cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and USDT can all qualify as your first deposit toward the welcome package, subject to the minimum deposit listed in the terms.
