The Astromania welcome package as arithmetic: stage costs for a UK player
The welcome package is 250% up to €3,000 across four deposits, plus 350 free spins and one Bonus Crab pick. The cost to a player comes down to a single formula: bonus plus deposit, multiplied by 35, inside 10 days. The stage match decides the bonus, and the deposit you choose scales everything else.
The Astromania registration guide covers account creation and e-mail confirmation before a first qualifying deposit.
What 35x is applied to, and the conditions around it
Wagering is 35x on the deposit plus the bonus, so a €100 deposit with a €100 bonus carries €7,000 of bets. Winnings from free spins carry their own 40x. The clock is 10 days, the maximum bet while a bonus is active is €5 (about £4.24), and every stage asks for a deposit of at least €20 (about £16.95).
Skrill and Neteller deposits do not qualify for the welcome package. The first stage is a 100% match with 200 free spins. The later stages are usually matched 75% up to €500, 50% up to €500, and 25% up to €1,000, in that order.
A four-stage route costed: €20, €100, €250 and €100
The route opens gently, puts the biggest deposit on the 50% stage and closes with a small one on the 25% stage. Every deposit is under the usual cap of its stage.

| Stage | Deposit | Match | Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | €20 (£16.95) | 100% | €20 (£16.95) |
| 2 | €100 (£84.76) | 75% | €75 (£63.57) |
| 3 | €250 (£211.91) | 50% | €125 (£105.95) |
| 4 | €100 (£84.76) | 25% | €25 (£21.19) |
| Route | €470 (£398.39) | €245 (£207.67) |
| Stage | Total | Turnover at 35x | Bets at €5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | €40 | €1,400 (£1,186.68) | 280 |
| 2 | €175 | €6,125 (£5,191.73) | 1,225 |
| 3 | €375 | €13,125 (£11,125.14) | 2,625 |
| 4 | €125 | €4,375 (£3,708.38) | 875 |
| Route | €715 | €25,025 (£21,211.94) | 5,005 |
Across the route, €470 of deposits earns €245 of bonus, and each €1 of bonus is backed by about €102.14 of turnover. The 50% stage is where the arithmetic bites hardest: its €125 bonus alone asks for €13,125 of bets, more than half of the €25,025 for the whole route.
Pace inside the 10 days
Spread evenly, the stage 3 turnover is €1,312.50 (about £1,112.51) a day. At the maximum bet that is just over 262 bets a day. The stage 1 turnover needs €140 (about £118.67) a day, stage 2 needs €612.50 (about £519.17) and stage 4 needs €437.50 (about £370.84).
At 100 bets a day at the maximum, the stage 1 target of €1,400 is reached in 3 days, while the stage 3 target would need more than 26 days at that rate, far past the 10-day limit. Two things change the pace. A smaller average stake raises the number of bets needed for the same turnover, and a stage that starts late leaves fewer days to play it. The free-spin winnings add their own 40x on top: €10 won on the 200 spins means another €400 (about £339.05).
If you split that daily turnover across shorter sessions, Astromania on mobile looks at the same targets during commute and evening play.
Where the usual caps stop paying more
A bigger deposit adds bonus only up to the cap of the stage. The match stops growing once the cap is reached, though the deposit itself keeps adding to the turnover base.
At stage 3 the 50% match reaches its usual €500 cap at a deposit of €1,000. A €250 deposit therefore sits a quarter of the way to the cap, and the €125 bonus is paid in full.
Why the wallet matters: the same €100 with and without the welcome
A €100 deposit by card, bank transfer, Paysafecard, Neosurf or Bitcoin at stage one earns a €100 bonus and a €7,000 (about £5,933.41) target. The same €100 sent by Skrill or Neteller is accepted as a deposit, but it earns no welcome bonus and so no welcome turnover either. A player who only wants to use their own money may do exactly that; for a bonus-seeker it costs €100 of match.
The same holds at every stage. A €250 deposit by Skrill at stage 3 gives up the €125 bonus that this route counts.

After the welcome stages: reloads, cashback and the sports offer
The weekly reload gives 50 free spins on a €20 deposit, and the weekend reload is a 50% match on a €20 deposit. Live-casino cashback is 25% with 1x wagering, with the cap usually at €200 (about £169.53). Sports betting has its own welcome of 100% up to €100 (about £84.76), so a full-size sports deposit is worth a €100 bonus, with wagering usually 6x at minimum odds of 2.0 for singles or 1.5 for multiples.
Loyalty coins can typically be swapped in the Bonus Shop for free spins, bonus cash or Bonus Crab plays.
FAQ: Astromania welcome stages and the numbers behind them
€1,000 (about £847.63), which is the usual cap on a 100% match.
About €667 (about £565.37), because 75% of that is the usual €500 cap.
€4,000 (about £3,390.52), since 25% of that is the usual €1,000 cap.
A €1,000 deposit plus a €1,000 bonus is €2,000, and 35x of that is €70,000 (about £59,334.10).
No. The turnover for each €1 of bonus depends on the match, not on the deposit: €70 on a 100% match, about €81.67 on 75%, €105 on 50% and €175 on 25%.
At 40x it is €720 (about £610.29) of bets.
