On this page
Aussie Casinos Guide is an independent site that compares online casinos used by Australian players. We read the full terms of each casino by hand, test the cashier in AUD, and show the date we last checked every detail.
We are not a casino and we do not take bets. We are not a regulator either. This site is for adults aged 18 and over.
Why does this site exist?
Most Australians who search for an online casino end up at an offshore site. Online casino games, including online pokies, cannot legally be offered to people in Australia under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, so there is no local licensed option to compare against.
That leaves players reading terms written for someone else. Wagering rules, maximum bet limits, withdrawal caps and verification demands are often buried deep in the fine print. Many review sites copy the headline bonus and skip the rest.
We started this site to do the boring part properly. We read the terms, write down what they actually say, and put a date on it so you know how fresh the information is.
Who runs Aussie Casinos Guide?
The site is run by a small independent team. Our lead reviewer is Liam Kearney, Senior Casino Reviewer, based in Brisbane.
Liam has spent years reading casino terms and conditions line by line. His focus is payout times, PayID and crypto banking, bonus maths, and the responsible gambling tools each casino offers. He writes or checks every review before it goes live.
We are not owned by a casino operator, and no casino has a say in what we publish.
How do we check casinos?
Every casino we list goes through the same eight checks, from licence and ownership to player complaints. We open an account, read the full terms, check the cashier in AUD and time a withdrawal where we can.
We recheck listed casinos every 30 days and whenever a reader tells us something has changed. The full method, including the weight given to each check, is on our how we rate casinos page.
How does Aussie Casinos Guide make money?
We earn affiliate commissions. When you click a Visit Casino button or a link that goes through our /go/ redirect and then sign up or deposit, the casino may pay us.
That money pays for the time it takes to test casinos. It never changes a score or a ranking. A casino that pays a higher commission does not move up the list, and we do not sell placements.
The details are on our affiliate disclosure page.
How do we stay independent?
Scores come from the same eight weighted checks for every casino. No casino sees a review before it is published. We do not accept payment for a listing, a higher position or a better score. If a casino stops paying players, we remove it, whatever it pays us.
If we have a commercial deal with a casino, the links to it are marked as sponsored in the page code, and this is explained in our disclosure.
What if something on the site is wrong?
Email [email protected] or use our contact form. Tell us the page, what is wrong, and where you saw the correct information.
We aim to check and fix confirmed errors within 2 business days. When we change a fact on a page, we update the date on that page and note what changed.
What is this site not?
We are not a casino. You cannot deposit, play or withdraw here.
We are not a regulator or a complaints body. We cannot force a casino to pay you, though we will record serious complaints and they can affect a casino’s score or listing.
We do not give gambling, legal, financial or tax advice. Our pages are general information to help you make your own decision.
You must be 18 or older to use this site. Gambling can cause harm. If it has stopped being fun, read our responsible gambling page or call Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858, free and 24/7.
