Disclaimer

BonusList helps Australians compare online casino offers. This disclaimer explains what our information can and cannot do for you. Please read it together with our terms of use. The site is published by Velvetdune Online Media DMCC, Fortune Executive Tower, Cluster T, Jumeirah Lakes Towers, Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

We are a comparison site

BonusList does not offer gambling. We do not open player accounts, process deposits or withdrawals, pay winnings or decide the outcome of any game, and we have no say over how a casino runs its business. Velvetdune Online Media DMCC does not hold a gambling licence and does not need one to publish information. Where we mention a licence, it belongs to the casino operator or the game studio, never to us.

Online casinos are not licensed in Australia

The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 makes it illegal to offer online casino games and online pokies to people in Australia, and no state or territory can license them. Sports betting, lotteries and keno are the forms of online gambling that are licensed locally. The ACMA regularly blocks offshore casino websites, and a blocked site may later reappear under another address. The casinos we compare are based overseas. Their presence on BonusList is not a statement that they are legal or authorised for you, and it is your responsibility to check the law that applies where you live before you sign up.

For adults only

You must be 18 or older to gamble. If you are under 18, please leave the site. Casinos check age and identity, often before your first withdrawal, and can close accounts and keep winnings when checks fail.

General information, not advice

Our reviews, lists and guides are general information. They are not financial, legal or tax advice and they do not take your personal circumstances into account. No betting system or bonus strategy can overcome the house edge, and past results say nothing about what happens next. Treat what you read here as one input into your own decision.

Bonuses and terms change

Welcome packages, free spins, wagering requirements, maximum bets, game weightings, minimum deposits and cash-out caps are set by each casino and can change at any time, sometimes the same day. We record offers from the casino's own pages, in AUD where they are published, and the date at the top of each page shows when its offers were last checked. Between a change at the casino and our next check, a difference is possible. If what you see on the casino's site differs from our page, the casino's terms apply. Read them in full before you deposit or claim anything.

Pokies, RTP and game data

Return-to-player (RTP) figures, volatility ratings and feature descriptions come from game studios and casinos. RTP is a long-run average across millions of spins; it does not predict a single session, and some studios release the same pokie with several RTP settings. Check the information panel inside the game for the version the casino is running.

Payment methods

What we say about PayID, POLi, Neosurf, cards, e-wallets and cryptocurrency reflects what casinos and payment providers publish. Fees, processing times and limits depend on the casino, your bank and the provider. Some Australian banks decline gambling transactions, and rules for licensed Australian wagering do not apply to offshore casinos. We cannot trace, reverse or refund any payment.

Winnings and tax

Any comments we make about winnings and tax are general. For your own situation, check with the Australian Taxation Office or a qualified adviser.

Affiliate links

Many casino links on BonusList, including all buttons that pass through a /go/ address, are affiliate links. If you open an account after following one, the casino may pay us a commission. You pay nothing extra. Our affiliate disclosure explains how this affects, and does not affect, what we publish.

Other websites

Once you leave BonusList, the other website's terms and privacy policy apply. We are not responsible for a casino's content, security, account decisions, bonus rulings or withdrawal times. Disputes about an account belong with the casino: use its complaints process first, then contact the body that licenses it, if it has one.

Trade marks

Casino names, logos, game titles and screenshots belong to their owners and are shown only to identify the products we discuss. Their appearance does not mean the owners endorse or sponsor BonusList.

Accuracy and availability

We check our pages and correct mistakes we find or that readers report, but we cannot promise every page is complete, accurate and current at all times, or that the site will always be available. Pages may be changed, merged or removed without notice.

Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by law, Velvetdune Online Media DMCC is not liable for any loss or damage arising from the use of BonusList or reliance on its content, including money lost gambling, bonuses refused or cancelled, accounts closed, withdrawals delayed or linked websites becoming unavailable. Nothing here limits rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law that cannot lawfully be excluded.

If gambling is a problem

Set a budget and a time limit before you play, use deposit limits and time-outs, and never chase losses. If gambling is taking over, call Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 (free, confidential, 24/7), and you can block yourself from every Australian licensed wagering provider through BetStop. Our responsible gambling page lists the tools casinos offer. For an immediate crisis, Lifeline is on 13 11 14.

Updates

We update this disclaimer when the site or the law changes. The date at the top of the page shows the current version.
