What are the best Aussie online casinos?

Below you will find our list of best Australian online casinos. We guarantee that these casinos are 100% trustworthy, offer an extensive range of casino games, use only the best software providers and offer great promotions. 

How we test online casinos

Before we add a  new casino site to our top 10 best online casinos, the casino has to undergo multiple strict and extensive tests. We have developed a testing method that allows us to determine precisely just how good the casino is.

We always examine four critical elements of the casino: safety, casino games, customer service and promotions. We test all casinos by registering, wagering and withdrawing money at least twice. Furthermore, we put the customer service to the test by asking several questions, ranging from easy day to day issues to more complex queries that require more knowledge and time.

Safety: is the gaming environment safe and secure? Is the site reliable? Is your private data encrypted? Where is the casino licensed?

Casino games: how is the quality and quantity of the games that are offered? Does the casino have the best pokies from the most respected game developers? Will you find progressive jackpot pokies? Is there a live casino?

Customer service: at what speed are withdrawals processed? What are the payment options? Is there a live chat option and how well does customer service respond to questions or problems? Are the terms and conditions clear and fair?

Promotions: what kind of (welcome) promotions are offered and how good are the bonus terms and conditions?

Casino news 2017

These are the main casino news stories for 2017:

Australian Interactive Gambling Amendment Bill passed

In March 2016, the Interactive Gambling Amendment Bill 2016 was officially passed by the Australian Senate. This bill was aimed at eliminating online gambling activities offered in the country, including online gambling online poker.

As a result, several large gaming brands have left the Australian Market, leaving the Australian online casino player somewhat stranded.

It is not illegal for Australians to gamble online, but a lot of licensed, trustworthy casino operators have decided to no longer accept new Australian customers. These operators include Spin Palace, Royal Vegas, Grand Reef, G’Day, Hello Casino, LeoVegas, Vera & John, Casumo, GUTS, Rizk and Thrills.

Slots Million is granted a UK-license

Slots Million has been given a UK licence, which is excellent news for our UK visitors. It means that Slots Million, one of our favourite online casinos, can finally accept players from the United Kingdom. Before acquiring the highly respected UK license, Slots Million held a Malta Gaming Authority gaming license, which is also seen as a strict authority.

To receive a UK Gaming License, the online casino must pass several strict and rigorous procedures concerning prevention of gambling addiction, social responsibility and player protection.

Netent and Microgaming pull out of Australia

Software providers Netent and Microgaming have decided to leave the Australian market as a result of the IGA Bill. As a result, Australian online gamblers are going to miss popular slots such as Immortal Romance, Starburst and Jack and the Beanstalk. Pokie players seem to have embraced Pragmatic Play pokies such as Wolf Gold, Vegas Nights and 7 Monkeys to get their gambling itch scratched.
