Cashback.
Up to 20% Back.
Every Week.
Not every week goes your way — and that is exactly when the Star Casino online cashback bonus earns its keep. Part of your net losses comes back to your account every week, from 5% for new players to 20% for Star Elite members. This page explains how it is calculated, how to reach a higher rate, the rules behind it and the 13 questions Star Casino online Australia players ask most.
Star Casino online refunds part of your net weekly losses (total wagered minus total won). The rate rises with your VIP tier: Bronze 5%, Silver 7%, Gold 10%, Diamond 15%, Star Elite 20%. Cashback is calculated automatically, credited weekly as bonus funds and usually carries light, tier-based wagering — check the Promotions tab for your current terms.
Five Tiers, Five Rates
Your tier is based on how much you wager over a rolling 30 days. Climb a step and every future week pays back more.
Higher tiers also bring lighter wagering, personal offers and priority withdrawals. Star Elite adds wagering-free cashback on selected weeks. Full details on the VIP program page.

Cashback vs Deposit Bonus
Both have their place. Here is how they compare for a typical Star Casino online player.
| Weekly cashback | Deposit bonus | |
|---|---|---|
| When you get it | After a losing week | Upfront, with a deposit |
| How much | 5–20% of net loss | A match % of your deposit |
| Wagering | Light, tier-based | 35× on welcome bonus |
| Best games | Any real-money play | Pokies (100% contribution) |
| Withdraw flexibility | Real balance stays free | Withdrawing early forfeits bonus |
| Best for | Regulars, table & crash players | New players, pokie fans |
Low-edge games like blackjack pair well with cashback because they often contribute little to bonus wagering. Deposit bonus details: welcome bonus FAQ.
How Much Will Cashback Help You?
Tap the line that best describes how you play.
Cashback returns a fraction of losses — losing more always costs you more. Never increase play to “earn” cashback.
Set a weekly deposit limit in your account so cashback stays a cushion, not a target.
Star Casino Cashback FAQ
13 answers, grouped by topic. All answers stay open — just scroll.
What is the Star Casino cashback bonus?
A weekly refund of part of your net losses, credited back to your account. The percentage depends on your VIP tier, from 5% at Bronze up to 20% at Star Elite.
How is cashback calculated?
On net losses: total wagered minus total won over the week. If you wager A$5,000 and win A$4,700, your net loss is A$300 — at Gold’s 10% that is A$30 back.
When is cashback paid?
Weekly, for the previous week’s play. The exact credit day and time are shown in the Promotions tab of your account.
Do I need to opt in or use a code?
No code is needed. Cashback is calculated automatically for eligible accounts. Check the Promotions tab to confirm it is active for you.
How do I get a higher cashback rate?
Climb the VIP tiers by wagering more over a rolling 30 days: Silver at A$5,000 (7%), Gold at A$20,000 (10%), Diamond at A$50,000 (15%). Star Elite (20%) is invitation only.
What cashback rate do new players get?
Bronze tier, 5%, starting from your first deposit.
Can I drop to a lower tier?
Tiers are based on wagering within 30 days, so if your activity falls, your tier and cashback rate can drop too. Check the VIP program page for current rules.
Is cashback paid as cash or bonus funds?
Cashback is credited as bonus funds, which usually carry wagering requirements appropriate to your tier before they can be withdrawn.
Is there wagering on cashback?
Generally yes, with lighter requirements at higher tiers. Star Elite members get wagering-free cashback on selected weeks. The current multiplier is listed in your Promotions tab.
Do I get cashback if I won overall?
No. Cashback only applies to net losses. If your winnings exceed your bets for the week, there is nothing to refund — which is good news anyway.
Do all games count toward cashback?
Net losses are calculated across your real-money play. Some promotions exclude certain games or bonus play, so check the cashback terms.
Is cashback better than a deposit bonus?
It depends on your style. A deposit bonus gives more upfront but comes with heavier wagering. Cashback gives less, only after losses, but suits regular players, table games and anyone who values flexibility.
Should I chase losses to get more cashback?
Never. Cashback returns only a fraction of losses, so losing more always costs you more. Treat it as a small cushion, not a reason to keep playing.
