2024's Best AU Online Casino Reviews

Online Casino Reviews FAQ

Why should I trust your reviews?

We can give you several reasons. Our experts have been in the online casino industry for over a decade and have tested the recommended online casinos by actually playing at them. We are an independent site and have nothing to fear from online casinos nor do we receive any favours from them. Our reviews are not vague. You will find the specifics listed. For example we will not just state that the online casino is licensed by a reputed regulatory authority, we will name that authority. Where the online casinos have some drawbacks we do not hesitate to point those out.

Still, we do not insist that you blindly believe us. Sign up at any of our recommended online casinos and make a small deposit. Wager at the online casino for a week, exploring its various facets. You will then realise that our casino reviews express reality as it is.

Do the online casinos you feature offer quick withdrawals?

The withdrawal request processing times at our recommended online casinos are quicker than the industry average. This is one of the most important reasons that they are on our featured list. Online casinos hold your money in trust and are bound to return it on call, subject to normal processing times. We will never recommend any online casino that intentionally delays withdrawals or arbitrarily rejects withdrawal requests.

Withdrawal periods depend on the payment option chosen. Withdrawals to electronic wallets are the quickest, followed by withdrawal to credit cards and finally withdrawals through checks. This is explained in more detail in the Banking section. Withdrawal periods also depend on the requests in queue, which is a random phenomenon. On certain days the queues may be longer and the withdrawal will take more time. On other days the queues will be short and you will get your funds in a trice.

Can I use POLi or PayPal to Make deposits and take money out?

You can use POLi to make deposits at the Australian online casinos that we recommend. POLi is a local option owned by Australia Post. It transfers funds seamlessly from your bank to your online casino. The online casinos we recommend are registered with POLi. You have to operate from a bank registered with POLi and have Internet banking facilities. You do not have to register with POLi. Unfortunately POLi only transfers funds from banks to merchants and not the other way round. So you cannot withdraw funds from the online casino using this payment option. You can learn more about POLi in our banking section.

PayPal as such operates in Australia, but not many Australian online casinos offer it as a payment option. At one time PayPal prohibited funds transfers to and from online gambling sites. Though it has now removed such restrictions, Australian online casinos still seem to be wary, especially when other good electronic wallets are available.

If I get stuck is there toll-free Aussie customer support at these casinos?

Almost all the online casinos that we recommend offer Aussie toll free customer support over phone. You need to access the customer support page of the web site for the number. You must keep in mind a few pointers. The number will be toll free only if you are calling from within Australia. If you are travelling and need to contact the casino from outside then international rates will apply. Also if you call from your mobile phone, even from within Australia, standard mobile rates will apply.

Having said that, we would also like to point out that live chat is a much more effective way of contacting customer support. It is a real time interaction just as in the case of telephone support. It is free from anywhere in the world. And you will have a written record of your interaction. We ensure that our recommended online casinos offer live chat support.

Do all online casinos listed here offer iPhone and Android play?

Yes, all online casinos listed at our web site offer iPhone and Android play. This is another mandatory requirement that we prescribe. Mobile gaming is growing by leaps and bounds. Being able to connect to your online casino while on the move is changing the face of remote gambling. And we want this option to be available to you. Our recommended online casinos offer you two ways to connect to your Australian mobile casino. You can download the app from Apple Store or Google Play and use it to activate the casino. Or you can access the mobile web site of the casino from your smartphone browser and play from there.

Even if you using a mobile device on Windows or Blackberry operating systems you can play the games from the web sites. We would like to point out that the casinos do not offer the full range of games for mobile play.

Other information about our online casino reviews

You would have noticed that we have mentioned certain important criteria in reviewing online casinos and we would like to acquaint you with some specifics before you start reading the reviews. Two important facets that add credibility to online casinos are the larger group that they may belong to and when they were established. Most of the older casinos will highlight when they were launched. Some reputed online casino groups are Vegas Partner Lounge, Fortune Lounge, Jackpot Factory, Palace Group and Mansion Casino group. There is no insinuation that stand alone casinos or new casinos cannot be good. Online casinos are as good as those agencies that contribute to it and we list some of them here. Reputed regulatory jurisdictions include Gibraltar, Malta, Alderney, Antigua and Kahnawake. Established online casino software providers are Microgaming, Playtech and NetEnt. Trustworthy audit agencies are eCOGRA and TST.

What ultimately makes an online casino unique is the bonuses and promotions it offers and not the casino games or payment options. If you have the inclination to avail these then this is where your focus should lie. You have to ask the question that whether the bonus or promotion is suited to you. If you are not a high roller player then a welcome bonus cap of AU$5,000 is meaningless for you. You should instead look for lower play through online casinos. Leader board promotions are again meant by and large for players who wager large amounts. Low rollers stand a better chance in prize draw promotions.

The following are must have according to us. The online casino must be licensed by a reputed regulatory authority. It must allow you to carry out financial transactions in Australian dollars. It must offer live chat support. Think about what you expect from online gambling and add your own requirements to this must have list. For example, if you want to play from your smart phone then a mobile platform becomes a must have. If you do not intend to wager on the move then the mobile platform will not be on your priority list. The must have list will make the selection of online casino much easier and more meaningful.

Finally there is a useful tip. You can contact live help from the online casino web site even without registering. Prepare a list of questions and take the support representative through them. It will give you a feel whether you would be comfortable in that online casino.
