How the rewards system actually works
The Wrest Point Casino bonus setup is a little different from what most players expect when they hear “bonus”. There is no deposit match, no bundle of free spins, and you do not type in a promo code anywhere. What we run instead is the Federal Rewards Club, a long-standing points-based loyalty program that tracks what you do on-site at our Sandy Bay property in Hobart.
You earn points when you play on the gaming floor, stay in the hotel, or dine at our outlets. Over time those points come back to you as credit against accommodation, food and beverages, plus a set of member-only perks. Nothing virtual, no vouchers floating in an app - just a structured way to get value back on what you are already spending with us.
One thing that matters straight away: the program links Wrest Point Hotel Casino with Country Club Tasmania. Points you earn at either Federal Group venue go into a single balance, and you can redeem across both properties without needing two separate memberships. For guests planning a longer Tasmania trip that split between Hobart and Launceston, that cross-venue setup is actually very practical.
Joining the program happens on-site at Member Services, either at Wrest Point or at Country Club Tasmania. You must bring valid photo ID. At the moment there is no confirmed online self-registration portal, so your first visit to the desk is where your membership starts and where we issue your card.

Joining the Federal Rewards Club
The actual sign-up process is deliberately simple. You head to Member Services at Wrest Point Hotel Casino or at Country Club Tasmania, show your driver’s licence or passport, complete a short registration form at the counter and, in most cases, walk away with a Federal Rewards Club card the same day. From that point on, the card is linked to your profile and connects automatically to your gaming, eligible accommodation bookings and dining spend across the venues.
There is one condition that regularly catches guests out. Stays booked via third-party platforms such as Booking.com do not earn points under the current program rules. Only direct reservations - through wrestpoint.com.au or by calling the property directly - are eligible to accrue points to your Federal Rewards Club balance. This is set out clearly in the official Federal Rewards Club brochure, so it is not something that comes down to interpretation on the day. If you are arranging a stay and you want it to count towards your points, book direct with us. It is the one step you really should not skip.
Checking how many points you have is handled via Member Services or as explained by staff at the time you join. Right now there is no dedicated app dashboard or login-based web portal for tracking your balance. It is a bit old-school by broader industry standards, but it does keep the program friction-free and straightforward for most people.
Gaming areas and what feeds your points
Our casino floor covers a solid mix of gaming options, and spend across most of these areas can contribute to your Federal Rewards Club balance. Knowing when each area is operating helps if you are planning a visit around specific styles of play.
Boardwalk gaming machines are open from 9 am daily. The main casino gaming machines switch on at noon every day. Rapid Roulette starts from 1 pm, seven days a week. Traditional table games, including American Roulette, open from 5 pm Sunday through Thursday, while on Fridays and Saturdays those tables run extended hours right through until 3 am. Sports betting and TASkeno are available from 9 am daily as part of the standard offering.
| Gaming Area | Opening Time | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Boardwalk Gaming Machines | 9 am daily | Separate from main floor |
| Main Casino Gaming Machines | Noon daily | Includes linked progressive jackpots |
| Rapid Roulette | 1 pm daily | Available seven days |
| Table Games (Sun-Thu) | 5 pm | Standard close |
| Table Games (Fri-Sat) | 5 pm until 3 am | Extended session |
| Sports Betting and TASkeno | 9 am daily | Available seven days |
| VIP Gaming Room | Set hours | Higher stakes table options |
Machine denominations start from 1 cent and run up to $1. Several machines are linked to progressive jackpots, and those linked prizes have climbed into the tens of thousands at times before they were finally won. For guests looking for a different style of play, the VIP Gaming Room offers a separate setting for higher-stakes table games, operating within the same core table game hours.
All gaming areas are strictly 18-plus. Entry to the casino spaces requires age verification, and that requirement covers the gaming floor, the casino bar and all table game environments on the property.
There is also a practical loyalty observation that holds true here. When you concentrate your gaming, stays and dining at a single venue group instead of spreading them thinly across multiple properties, your points balance tends to grow faster. It is not a formal rule, just how most points-based programs in this sector tend to work for regular members.
