Golden Nugget Casino’s June 2022 Race: $1 Million in Free Play Cash

Golden Nugget online casino players have every reason to look forward to June. On top of any existing ongoing promotions, the casino has decided to reward New Jersey and Michigan customers. Players can partake in a special, opt-in promotion that could exceed $1 million in Free Play rewards.
This casino is already a fan favorite and a US market leader. And this exciting promotion just further cements Golden Nugget as one of the best online casinos in USA – especially in June.
Please note that Golden Nugget’s June 2022 Race promo is not available to customers from all states. West Virginia players cannot participate.
The $1 million will be split among all players who decide to opt-in and generate enough points on the leaderboard. The more you play, the more rewards you can get.
How The Golden Nugget June 2022 Race Works
To opt-in for this promotion, you will have to make a real money deposit of at least $20. The next step is earning 50 points on the promotional leaderboard in June.
Only bets made with real money deposits are eligible for earning points, bonus cash wagers don’t apply.
- Make a deposit of at least $20
- Earn 50 points on the leaderboard
How to earn promotion points?
To earn promotion points, you will just have to play. Almost all games are eligible but contribute a different number of points.
- Slots: 5 points per $100 real money wagered
- Table games: 1 point per $100 real money wagered
A minimum of 50 points will make you eligible for the minimal cash reward. However, the first 150 players on the leaderboard will receive the bulk of the bonus funds.
The reward split is somewhat unfair, considering the top place alone will get at least $100,000 in Free Play! That’s plenty of motivation for the high-rollers out there, even though everyone can get at least a slice of the big cash pie.
Just The Start for Golden Nugget Online Casino
The casino’s June promotion will not be a one-off. Namely, Golden Nugget plans to offer $10,000,000 in guaranteed total prizes until the end of the year. Here are the main highlights of this yearly promotion:
- $10,000,000 in total prizes
- End of year giveaway: $1,500,000
- 250 total winners and special prizes for Top 10 winners
- Top Prize: $240,000 in bonuses or Rolls Royce Cullinan
- 2nd Prize: $120,000 in bonuses or Luxury Jewelry Package
- 3rd Prize: $60,000 in bonuses or a Wild Watercraft Adventure
Following’s DraftKings’ acquisition of Golden Nugget Online Casino, it’s reassuring to see that the casino is not putting anything on hold for a moment. In fact, they’re going stronger than ever!

Thunderkick commits to growth in Ontario with Betty partnership

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has agreed a deal with Ontario-based operator Betty to supply the rapidly growing online casino with a diverse collection of globally popular titles.
Betty, an official partner of sporting franchises Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors, has risen to prominence since its 2022 establishment, when it was built following the consultation of 300 casino players to create the optimal iGaming environment.
Distinguishing itself from North American competitors by catering specifically to slot enthusiasts rather than sports bettors, the operator has curated a portfolio of 2,800 games, hand-picked to deliver customers maximum entertainment value.
Thunderkick’s content is the latest to be integrated into Betty’s online casino, and the agreement will see a selection of its most popular titles, including The Wildos 2, Midas Golden Touch 3, and Esqueleto Explosivo 3, made available to a greater number of Ontarian players.
Thunderkick marked its debut in the Canadian province in Q2 of 2024, and has since partnered with a network of leading operators to improve its market position. The collaboration with Betty will further amplify its visibility in a key jurisdiction as the provider looks to reinforce its reputation as a global slot developer.
Svante Sahlström, CCO at Thunderkick, said: “It’s our mission at Thunderkick to go deeper, not wider, in 2025. That means forging meaningful, lasting relationships in target markets as opposed to securing as many commercial deals as possible.
“Since entering Ontario over 12 months ago, we have worked tirelessly to enhance our presence in the province, and working with leading brands such as Betty allows us to bring our unique games to a deeper pool of Canadian players.”
Paraskeva Smirnova, Casino Operations Manager at Betty, added: “Betty’s USP has always been our drive to build a slot portfolio with the very best titles from the industry’s most creative suppliers.
“Thunderkick’s passion for slot development is there for all to see, and the introduction of its games to our casino further elevates the consumer experience.”
