What Free Play Means at banteng
Free Play is a no-deposit trial offer available to new accounts. Upon registration and email verification, your banteng account receives a play-credit balance. This balance is real — you can wager it across our full game library — but it carries restrictions. You cannot withdraw Free Play credit directly; instead, you must convert it to real cash through play-through requirements.
The purpose of Free Play is straightforward: we want new players to experience our platform risk-free. You get to know our live-dealer studios in Jakarta and Medan, test slot volatility on games like Gates of Olympus and Fortune Tiger, and observe how we settle sportsbook bets during Liga 1 matches. If you like the experience, you deposit real money and unlock full account features.
Free Play balances expire. If you do not use your trial credit within a set period (typically 7–14 days, depending on the promotion calendar), it forfeits. This expiry window incentivizes testing the platform promptly. During major promotional windows — around Idul Fitri, Idul Adha, or Piala Indonesia tournaments — expiry periods may extend, but we always notify you of the exact deadline.
Your Free Play credit sits in a separate ledger from real-money balances. This means if you deposit real funds after claiming Free Play, your trial balance and cash balance remain distinct. You play through your Free Play first, then convert any winnings to cash, then access your real-money balance separately.
Games Covered Under Free Play
Most games at banteng accept Free Play credit. This includes live-casino tables: blackjack, roulette, baccarat, and Dragon Tiger all support trial play. Slot games like Aviator, Sweet Bonanza, Gates of Olympus, Fortune Tiger, and Mahjong Ways are fully playable with Free Play. Esports markets — Mobile Legends, Free Fire, PUBG Mobile — typically do not accept trial credit, but we occasionally run promotions that include esports as part of Free Play pools.
Sportsbook coverage varies. Certain markets — like Liga 1 matches or Piala AFF group stages — may permit Free Play wagers, while others (high-liquidity tournaments or premium odds) may restrict trial credit. Your banteng account dashboard shows which markets accept Free Play when you navigate to each game or sport.
Play-Through Requirements and Conversion to Real Cash
Free Play credit requires play-through before any winnings can be withdrawn. Play-through means wagering your trial balance a set number of times across eligible games. For example, if you receive 5 units of Free Play and the play-through requirement is 8x, you must wager 40 units total. Once you reach 40 units wagered, your balance — whether it increased or decreased through play — is eligible for conversion.
Play-through is calculated across all eligible games. A spin on Gates of Olympus counts equally with a live-blackjack hand or a Liga 1 sportsbook bet. Losses contribute to play-through just as wins do; it's a volume measure, not a profit measure. Some games may contribute partial amounts to play-through — for instance, live-casino games might count non-specific info toward requirement while slots count non-specific info — but your banteng account displays exact contribution percentages for each game before you play.
Free Play balance does not block deposits
You can deposit real money via DANA, e-wallet, mobile banking, or local payment while Free Play credit is active. Your trial balance and cash balance operate independently, so testing Free Play does not prevent you from funding your account for immediate play.

Free Play and Account Verification
Free Play does not require KYC verification at claim time. You can use trial credit immediately after email verification. However, if your Free Play play-through results in winnings and you decide to convert them to real cash and withdraw, you must complete full account verification before withdrawal processes.
Verification includes an identity scan (ID card or passport), a selfie for liveness confirmation, and address verification. This typically takes subject to verification during business hours in Jakarta or Medan timezones. Once verified, you can withdraw your converted Free Play winnings to any linked payment method — online payment, e-wallet, mobile banking, local payment, online payment, e-wallet, or direct bank transfers.

Free Play Promotions During Holidays and Events
During major calendar events — Idul Fitri, Idul Adha, Imlek, Nyepi, and sporting tournaments like Piala Indonesia or Piala AFF — we occasionally boost Free Play offers. These limited-time promotions may increase the trial credit amount, extend the expiry window, or lower the play-through requirement. We announce these promotions in advance via email and in-app notifications, so check your banteng account settings regularly during peak seasons.
Tournament-specific Free Play offers sometimes restrict game eligibility. For example, during Piala AFF, we might offer Free Play usable exclusively on football markets related to the tournament. These restrictions are always disclosed upfront, and your banteng dashboard filters available games accordingly.
Referring friends to banteng can earn you bonus Free Play credits beyond your initial offer. Our referral programme rewards both the referrer and new account with Free Play or cashback bonuses. If your referred friend deposits and meets their own requirements, you may unlock additional trial credits — a way to test new game releases or premium tournaments at banteng risk-free.
Free Play and Responsible Account Management
Free Play is designed as a low-friction entry point, but your account security remains paramount. Two-factor authentication is available in your account settings and recommended for all users. If you notice unauthorized activity — unusual play patterns or accounts claiming to be you — reset your password immediately or contact our support team via in-app chat or email.
Free Play credit does not obligate you to deposit or continue playing at banteng. If your trial balance expires unused, your account remains active and you can claim future Free Play offers if promoted. There is no cost to your account for unused trial credit — it simply forfeits after the expiry window closes.
