What Casino Games Can You Play?
We go to the casino to play games, to have fun and to get a little spoilt. If a casino doesn’t have a mind-boggling range of games, or at least a decent range of games, from a wide variety of game makers, then we’re going to get pretty bored fairly quickly. Either that, or they won’t get many players, which means they’re going to have s#^t service and the rest of the casino’s going to be pretty ordinary too.

Do They Have Sports Betting and If So, What Are Your Options?
We Aussies love our sports! And if we’re not playing, we’re betting on who’s going to win. In fact, we’re the world’s #1 nation of sports experts (or some of us are at least – the rest are just wannabes!). Most online casinos that cater to Aussies are clued in on that fact, so they’ve started including a lovely range of sports betting options to boost the games.
Actually, if a casino doesn’t have a good range of sports betting options, we won’t strike them off our list forever: but their scorecard will take a mighty blow!

What Kind of Online Casino Banking Methods Are Available?
Aussies are pretty advanced when it comes to playing and paying online. There are so many different banking methods in the world, but not all are really popular over here on our shores. Some aren’t even available! Some methods will let you deposit no sweat, but when it comes time to withdraw, it’s like drawing blood from a redwood.
So whenever we review an online casino’s banking methods, we check to make sure they have plenty of deposit AND withdrawal options that are easy, popular AND LEGAL here in Oz.

How Does The Casino’s Customer Service Stand Up?
We’ve also got pretty high standards when it comes to customer service: we’re used to it being immediate, polite and above all: helpful! No point in getting through to a customer service person on chat with a problem and their first question is: try turning your computer off and on again. Even if that does work, I’m talking to you through my computer and it will cut off!
So we’ve gone and tested out their customer service ourselves (and definitely cacked ourselves up a few times along the way). We’ve come up with some really stupid questions and some sophisticated questions. We’ve been bloody rude, really nice and even played it really dumb. And what have we discovered? Well, you’re going to have to read each review to find out.

What Kind of Casino Bonuses, Prizes and Competitions Do They Offer?
So this is one of the biggest drawcards of every casino: what kind of freebees are they offering? What’s the Welcome Bonus? What are the ‘conditions’? And especially after you’ve signed up and got your Sign Up Bonus, will you still get a decent amount of bonuses, prizes and competitions?
Our bonus scorecard isn’t just for how sweet the sign up deal is, but we also make sure they’ll keep treating you well in the morning.

Do They Have A Worthwhile Casino Rewards or VIP Club?
Almost every online casino has a rewards club, but some of them are just for show. Every time you level up, you get a lovely golden message saying you’re a bit higher on their priority list, but you don’t actually get anything. So we check out each online casino Rewards club and make sure you’re actually getting more bang for your buck: can you trade in loyalty points for prizes/ freebies? Does each level up give you bigger and better options and rewards? And are their expectations for how long or how much you need to climb their ranks realistic?

How User Friendly Is The Casino’s Website?
Have you ever tried to find out about your rights on the ATO website? It’s because no one at the tax office knows anything about how to make a website user friendly!
The same goes for casino websites: you’re not there to spend hours searching for the right game, for the right information or for the ‘contact us’ button: you’re there to relax, enjoy and have fun. So if the casino website isn’t user friendly, we’ll give you the heads up on their review scorecard.

Where Are They Licensed? Are They A Legit Casino for Aussie Players?
Our casino websites are all registered and legal – FOR AUSTRALIANS!
Most online casinos fall under the authority of one of the members of the International Association of Gaming Regulators (IAGR). So they are still accountable even if their patrons are anywhere in the world that’s not the same country as their headquarters. That means if they try anything dodgy, they’ll be stripped of their gaming license in a heartbeat, fined a ridiculous amount (depending on the infringement) and the fact will be advertised all over the world.
There are also casinos, and casino games software makers, that are specifically licensed for Aussie players by the national or state authorities in Australia. For punters, it means no one will block you from withdrawing large amounts of your winnings from your casino bank account and depositing it into your Aussie bank account.
We not only double check that each casino we review on this website is licensed, but that Aussies are allowed to play, and withdraw money, from those casino sites and deposit them into their Aussie bank accounts without any hassles.

Have There Been Serious Complaints Against The Casino?
There are complaints and then there are complaints! So if a casino we are reviewing (and love) has complaints lodged against it, we will let you know, but we won’t just sign them off: we’ll actually check what the complaints are about. If the complaint is something like: “Why doesn’t this casino have any Crowded House themed slot games?” we’ll probably dismiss it. If it’s something like: “Why doesn’t this casino let me withdraw the $1m I won last week?” then we’ll be sure to let you know.
