Promo code types and when to use them
What Promo Codes Are
A promo code is a short code you enter in Nova Casino to unlock a specific offer. One code normally applies to one promotion, such as a deposit bonus, free spins on a listed slot, or a cashback deal. Codes can be case-sensitive, and each one has fixed conditions like a minimum deposit, an expiry date, and a maximum number of uses per player.
Where To Find Them
Nova Casino publishes promo codes in places it controls: account emails, SMS (if you opted in), and the Promotions section after you log in. Nova Casino also places codes in short-term campaigns, so the same code may appear only during a weekend or around a tournament. If you see a code on a third-party site, match it against the offer text inside Nova Casino before depositing.
How To Activate A Promo Code
Log in to Nova Casino, open the cashier, and choose your payment method. Enter the promo code in the promo code field before you confirm the deposit, then check that the bonus label appears in the deposit summary. Complete the deposit, and open “Bonuses” to confirm the bonus is marked as active; if the offer includes free spins, Nova Casino credits them to the listed slot after the deposit is approved.
Examples Of Promo Codes (Fictional)
- NOVA100START — activates a 100% match bonus up to $100 on deposits of $20+; expires 7 days after issue.
- SPIN20NOVA — credits 20 free spins on a selected slot after a $15+ deposit; valid for 48 hours.
- CASHBACK10 — enables 10% weekly cashback up to $50 after a $30+ deposit; one activation per account.
Nova Casino applies promo codes through the cashier during deposit, and you can confirm activation in the “Bonuses” area right after payment clears. Current availability depends on the campaign, so the working code is the one that matches an active offer inside your account.

Nova Casino Wagering (Playthrough) Requirements
At Nova Casino, a wagering requirement is the number of times you must bet the bonus amount (or bonus plus deposit, depending on the bonus type) before you can withdraw any bonus-related winnings. The casino counts only qualifying real-money bets, and some games contribute less than slots or do not count at all.
- Example 1: Bonus-only wagering (35x bonus) You claim a $50 bonus with a 35x wagering requirement on the bonus amount. You must place $50 × 35 = $1,750 in qualifying bets before you can withdraw winnings tied to that bonus.
- Example 2: Bonus + deposit wagering (30x deposit+bonus) You deposit $100 and receive a $100 bonus with a 30x wagering requirement on deposit plus bonus. The playthrough target is ($100 + $100) × 30 = $6,000 in qualifying bets; if table games count at 10%, $200 wagered on blackjack reduces the target by $20.
