Rewards: Rakeback, Daily Cases and Level Bonuses
The Rewards page is where every free thing on RustCases lives: three free cases when you sign up with a referral code, rakeback on every gem you wager, daily cases that unlock as you level up, one-time level milestone bonuses, missions, promo codes and the 30% first-deposit match (up to 100 bonus gems). Nothing here requires a deposit to start.
Three free cases when you sign up
New accounts get three free cases. They unlock with a referral code (use a creator's code if you came from one, or FREE) and a verified email, and the skins you win are paid as gems you can play with straight away. Free gems expire after 7 days if unused, so open your cases and try a 1v1 battle while they are fresh.
Free-case winnings are playable immediately; withdrawing them requires 5 gems (about $3.33) of real deposits in the last 7 days, which is standard anti-abuse practice on skin sites and is disclosed up front in the FAQ.
Rakeback on every gem you wager
Rakeback returns a slice of everything you bet, win or lose, as claimable gems. The total rate is tiered by level: 0.25% up to level 49, 0.5% from level 50, and 0.75% from level 150. It is split into three pots you claim separately: daily (about 47% of the total), weekly (about 35%) and monthly (about 18%), so there is always something to collect the next time you log in.
Daily cases, level rewards and missions
Daily cases unlock by account level and can be opened once per day or used to create a daily case battle against other players. Each milestone level also pays a one-time gem bonus you claim from the Level Rewards row, and the missions ladder pays out for completing specific in-game goals. Levels are earned from wagering (cumulative XP to reach level L is L³), so the more you play the faster the free rewards compound.
Deposit bonuses and promo codes
New players get a 30% match on their deposits, bonus up to 100 gems, in as many deposits as they like for 30 days, with a 3× wagering requirement on the bonus (deposit 334 gems to get the full 100). One promotion per deposit, plus your referral bonus: an active deposit-match code pays first, then the first-deposit match, then a Night Market deposit coupon, and signing up with a referral code adds a 5% bonus to your deposits on top while the code is active. Promo and gift-card codes are redeemed on this page (a quick reCAPTCHA protects them), and new codes are posted in Discord and on the site's socials.
