What are the best online casino sites in Australia in your opinion?

[Hispo]

Hey guys. Are there any Aussies on this forum who play online pokies? I recently moved to Australia from the UK and I’m looking for some reliable Australian online casino sites to try out. I’d love recommendations for casino sites with a good selection of pokies, decent bonuses, and secure payment options (I don’t mind crypto-exclusive casinos, as long as they’re trustworthy and actually pay out).

My dude, I'm sorry to disappoint, but the AU online gambling market is more complex and regulated than that of the UK. The IGA (Interactive Gambling Act) of 2001 prohibits offering online casino games and poker to Australians, so only sports betting and lotteries are allowed here in AU (with strict rules around advertising and in-play betting). Enforcement in Australia has become tougher in recent years, so most Aussie players use popular offshore online casinos that don't block players from AU.

@Rampage88 has a point, but there are dozens of online casinos where you can play slots. mBit casino is nice, but it's crypto only. I'm from the U.S., but I've been playing in Australia without VPN while traveling, so you shouldn't have any problems signing up. There are around 5,000 slots to choose from.

Casinonic is the best real money online casino in Australia in my experience. It offers a welcome bonus of AU$5000 and thousands of pokies from top game studios like BGaming, NetEnt, BetSoft, and Pragmatic Play. While it’s a fiat casino, I believe it also accepts BTC and other cryptocurrencies

If you’re looking for an AU-friendly crypto casino with even more slot games than Casinonic, you might want to try BitStarz. It’s a pretty reputable gambling site, and its crypto bonuses are nice

Is it legal to play at offshore online casinos though?

Australian law does not explicitly prohibit people in Australia from using offshore gambling sites, but using such sites technically carries some risks for players, such as a lack of recourse in disputes (or so they say)

Casinonic is great indeed. There are over a thousand pokies, and the welcome bonus is fantastic. I highly recommend the "luck of tiger", I've had the most luck with this game so far.
