Is online casino legal in Australia?
It is illegal for operators to offer online casino, slots or poker to Australian residents under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001. The law targets operators, not players — there is no record of an Australian resident being prosecuted for playing at an offshore casino.

What is a wagering requirement and how do I calculate it?
A wagering requirement is the number of times you must play through a bonus before you can withdraw winnings. A €100 bonus with 35× wagering means you must place €3,500 in qualifying bets before cashing out.

Are winnings from gambling taxed in Australia?
No — recreational gambling winnings are not treated as taxable income for Australian residents. Lottery, sports-betting and casino wins are not declared on your tax return. The rule differs for professional gamblers assessed on profit.

How do I verify a casino's licence?
Look up the licence number on the regulator's public register. UKGC licences are checked at gamblingcommission.gov.uk, MGA at mga.org.mt, and Curaçao at curacao-egaming.com. The licence number must appear in the casino's footer and match the public record.

What does RTP mean and why does it matter?
RTP (Return to Player) is the percentage of wagered money a slot or game is designed to pay back over millions of spins. A 96% RTP slot returns €96 for every €100 wagered on average — meaning the house edge is 4%.
