Minimum deposit casinos from Australia: A$5 is the lowest listed, the catch is withdrawal

By their terms, all nine also require you to bet your deposit once (1×) or three times (3×) before you can withdraw.

The nine, smallest deposit first. "Not found" on ACMA's list does not mean a casino is permitted.

Ordered by the smallest deposit listed, not a ranking. Ties go to the smaller non-crypto deposit, then the alphabet. Within the same amount, Casino Rocket comes last, because its page shows method names only as images. No casino paid for its place; there are no affiliate links on this page.

Compare all nine casinos

How to read the table:

• Rows follow the smallest deposit, as in the list above. This is not a ranking.
• "Not listed" means we found no figure on the pages we read. It does not mean the casino has no minimum, bonus or rule.
• Wagering is the total you must bet before you can withdraw bonus money. "30× (deposit + bonus)" means 30 times the two added together. Separately, the terms of all nine say the deposit itself must be bet 1× or 3× before you withdraw. Worked examples below.
• The ACMA column comes in three forms. "The address we read is on it" means the exact page address is on the list. "[brand].com and N more" means the brand's main address and other domains (website addresses) with its name are on the list; our check doesn't show whether the address we read is among them. "Not found" means only other domains with the brand name are listed. Not found on the list does not mean permitted.
• All pages and terms were read on 7 November 2026 from an Australian connection, without signing in or depositing. The cashier (the casino's payment page) after sign-up may show different amounts. Figures apply to the address shown, not to other addresses of the same brand. The exception to the date: bonus sizes marked 24 Oct 2026 come from promotions pages we read that day and did not read again.
• Where a page writes "$" without naming the currency, we show A$ and mark it "currency not stated".
• Payment methods are named as each casino's page names them. PlayCroco's banking page calls Neosurf "a prepaid voucher" and BitStarz's terms list MiFinity among "e-wallets"; the pages we read don't explain Funanga or web redirect, and we did not check them, so see how they work before you pay. PayAnyBank is a withdrawal method in the cashier lists of four casinos: BitStarz, CasinoChan, FastPay and Lucky Dreams. We did not check what service it is or whether it pays into an Australian bank account, so don't count on it as a bank withdrawal. At FastPay and Lucky Dreams its minimum equals the bank minimum, so the bank figures there stand.

Figures are as listed on each page and in each casino's terms on 7 November 2026, except the bonus sizes marked 24 Oct 2026. Check the casino's own terms before you decide.

A$5, A$10, A$15, A$20: what each amount means, and why there's no A$1

An "A$5 casino" is a casino where one payment method takes A$5, not every method. The amount you need depends on how you pay, so the same casino can be an A$5, A$10 and A$20 casino at once.

A$5. Fair Go's banking page says: "Start playing with only a $5 minimum deposit when depositing with Lightning Bitcoin. However, other deposit methods have different amounts." PlayCroco's and Ozwin's banking pages also list Lightning Bitcoin at A$5. At Ozwin the tile says "Minimum Deposit: $5" and the method's description below it reads "How to deposit with Lightning Bitcoin".

A$10. Lucky Tiger's home page says "a minimum deposit of just $25 for most payment methods (Neosurf only $10)". So A$10 there means Neosurf only. At all three A$5 casinos, A$10 is also available without crypto: a voucher or e-wallet at Fair Go, CardPay, Neosurf or eZeeWallet at Ozwin, and Neosurf or eZeeWallet at PlayCroco.

A$15. FastPay's cashier list shows an e-wallet from A$15 and Neosurf from A$20. Casino Rocket's banking page lists deposits from A$15 (up to A$6,000) and from A$25 (up to A$1,000), with the methods shown only as images.

A$20. BitStarz starts at A$20 by MiFinity, Neosurf or web redirect. CasinoChan starts at A$20 by Neosurf or e-wallet. Lucky Dreams starts at A$20 by web redirect, with Funanga at A$25 and Neosurf or e-wallet at A$30. Card deposits at Fair Go and PlayCroco, and Visa or Mastercard at Ozwin, also start at A$20. Ozwin also lists CardPay from A$10: its page calls it a credit card and says it funds your account "using your bank card", and its steps include selecting "the amount of NFT and credits you would like to receive".

A$1, A$2 or A$3. None of the nine addresses we read lists a minimum of A$1, A$2 or A$3 in dollars. That finding covers these nine addresses on 7 November 2026. It doesn't prove that no such casino exists anywhere. Some lists that promise a "$1 casino" mean a promotion, such as free spins for A$1.50, not the smallest amount the cashier takes, so if a list promises A$1, check the casino's own cashier.

Minimums in coins are not dollar minimums. FastPay's terms and Casino Rocket's banking page also give minimums in coins, such as 1 DOGE, 0.001 BCH or 0.01 LTC. The terms of both casinos say: "Currency exchanges between crypto and fiat are not supported." (Fiat means ordinary money, such as dollars.) So if you deposit in a coin, your balance stays in that coin; the casino does not convert it to dollars, and the dollar minimums above don't apply to it. At CoinGecko's rate at 08:19 UTC on 7 November 2026, 1 DOGE was about A$0.10, 0.001 BCH about A$0.38 and 0.01 LTC about A$0.76 (our estimate; rates change by the hour). That is why we give minimums only in dollars: a coin minimum is not a cheaper way into an account in dollars.

PayID. We did not see PayID in any of the 53 pages and terms texts we saved on 7 November 2026. That doesn't mean these casinos don't take it: Casino Rocket shows its methods as images, and we can't see the cashier after sign-up. How PayID itself works is in our PayID guide.

Getting in for A$5 is one thing. Getting money out is another.

A small deposit is not a small withdrawal

You can only withdraw once your balance reaches the casino's minimum withdrawal, and the three casinos that take A$5 share the highest smallest withdrawal, A$100, with Lucky Tiger. Fair Go, Ozwin and PlayCroco take A$5 in, but their cheapest way out is A$100. Lucky Tiger takes A$10 by Neosurf and also pays out from A$100. The other five start lower: A$10 to A$50 in the cashier lists of FastPay, BitStarz, CasinoChan and Lucky Dreams, and A$30 for ordinary currencies (not crypto) in Casino Rocket's terms (its banking page lists no withdrawal minimum). A$100 is 20 times the deposit (our arithmetic). So, by the methods these pages list, your balance has to reach A$100, by winning or by paying in more, before any of an A$5 deposit can leave. Paying in more has its own catch at PlayCroco while a promotion is in use: its bonus terms say "If you happen to redeem bonuses or deposit on top of an existing playable balance, any winnings will be voided and original deposit reimbursed in your account." The terms don't say whether this also applies to a deposit made without a bonus.

Smallest deposit → smallest listed withdrawal, by casino:

• Fair Go: A$5 → A$100 (bank, crypto or e-wallet)
• Ozwin: A$5 → A$100 (bank, Bitcoin or eZeeWallet)
• PlayCroco: A$5 → A$100 (bank, eZeeWallet or Bitcoin)
• FastPay: A$15 → A$30 (e-wallet or crypto)
• BitStarz: A$20 → A$50 (every listed method)
• CasinoChan: A$20 → A$10 (crypto)
• Lucky Dreams: A$20 → A$30 (e-wallet or crypto)
• Lucky Tiger: A$10 → A$100 (crypto, card, PayPal or wire transfer)
• Casino Rocket: A$15 → A$30 (by its terms, ordinary currencies)

Casino pages and terms, read 7 November 2026. The cheapest way in and the cheapest way out are often different payment methods: at Fair Go, A$5 is by Lightning Bitcoin, while A$100 is the minimum by bank, crypto or e-wallet.

You may not get to choose the way out. A cheap way out only helps if the casino lets you use it. Four casinos tie withdrawals to the way you paid in:

• BitStarz's terms: "withdrawals have to be made to the same method that you deposited with."
• Fair Go's terms: "Payments will ordinarily be returned to the same payment method used for deposit if possible", and it may "decide which method you receive your withdrawals through".
• Ozwin's terms: "Where feasible, withdrawals will be sent back to the payment method(s) used for deposit", and it may "determine the method through which you receive your withdrawals".
• Lucky Tiger's home page: "withdrawals must generally be processed through the same method used for deposits. If this is not possible, contact support to arrange an alternative."

FastPay, CasinoChan and Casino Rocket go the other way: "we may pay your withdrawal via a different method than the one you specified", at their "sole discretion". We found no such rule for PlayCroco or Lucky Dreams in what we read; that is not proof there is none. So before you pay in A$5 or A$10, check that the casino lists a withdrawal by the same method. Neosurf, for example, is not among Lucky Tiger's listed withdrawal methods, so a Neosurf deposit there means asking support how the money comes back.

A bank withdrawal costs more at the three A$5 casinos. Fair Go, Ozwin and PlayCroco each list an A$50 fee on a bank withdrawal. Ozwin says not to include the fee in the payout request, "as it will be automatically added by the system", so an A$100 bank withdrawal there takes A$150 from your balance (our reading). Fair Go's and PlayCroco's pages don't say whether the fee comes out of the amount or is charged in addition; if it comes out, an A$100 bank withdrawal leaves you A$50. Each of the three also lists a way out from A$100 with no fee: crypto or e-wallet at Fair Go, Bitcoin or eZeeWallet at Ozwin and PlayCroco. The rules above on which method pays you still apply. The cashier lists of FastPay, CasinoChan, BitStarz and Lucky Dreams, read before login, show no commission on any listed method. Lucky Tiger doesn't state a withdrawal fee on the pages we read, and neither does Casino Rocket's banking page. Some fees are in the terms, though. If the deposit has not been bet three times, CasinoChan, Casino Rocket and Lucky Dreams may charge a processing fee, of an amount they don't state, or refuse the withdrawal. FastPay names its fee: 10%, if your bets since the last deposit don't exceed 3× the deposit on slots or 10× on live or table games, and only if it approves the withdrawal (see wagering). FastPay also charges 10% on a third or later withdrawal within 24 hours. Check before you pay in.

Bank transfers also have higher minimums elsewhere. FastPay lists A$200 by bank, CasinoChan A$100 and Lucky Dreams A$300, against A$10 to A$30 by crypto or e-wallet.

Timing is a target, not a promise. Fair Go says "we aim to process all withdrawals within up to 2 business days". Ozwin lists a bank processing time of 2 business days, and the same page adds: "Depending on your bank, it might take up to 10 business days to receive the winnings after they have been processed on our side." So at Ozwin, 2 business days of processing can be followed by up to 10 more before the money reaches you.

Meeting every condition doesn't guarantee a payout. The federal department warns that illegal gambling services "sometimes refuse to return deposits or pay winnings to the customer", and if an illegal service withholds your winnings, ACMA says Australian regulators can't help and you are unlikely to see the money again (see below).

Large wins have a ceiling too. The terms cap withdrawals: for example, A$2,000 a week at Lucky Tiger and A$1,500 a day at Casino Rocket. Fair Go's terms say "The maximum withdrawal per customer per week is up to $7,500 AUD", while its banking page lists A$2,500 a week by bank; the pages don't show which limit the cashier applies.

Proof of ID before the first withdrawal

Have your documents ready before you deposit: a casino may ask you to prove who you are before any money comes out. The terms call this check KYC ("know your customer"). Lucky Tiger's terms make it a condition: "Before requesting your first withdrawal, you must complete account verification (KYC) and meet any applicable bonus wagering requirements." Its home page says this "typically requires a government-issued photo ID, proof of address (utility bill or bank statement from the last 90 days), and proof of payment method." Fair Go's terms say "It is required that you verify your identity with documentation" and "Copies of the card(s) used to deposit are required at the time of withdrawal." The terms of the other seven allow such a check; FastPay, CasinoChan and Casino Rocket, for example, write: "We reserve the right to verify your identity before processing any withdrawals." A right to check is not a promise that every player will be asked. Casino Rocket adds that if you don't provide the documents it asks for, "any funds in your balance will be forfeited".

A small balance left alone can go

Don't leave a small balance in an account you no longer use. Fair Go's and PlayCroco's terms void or forfeit the balance after 12 months without activity (PlayCroco counts 12 months with no recorded login); Ozwin's say the balance "may be voided" after 12 months. Five others take a monthly fee from an unused account: Casino Rocket €25 after 12 months, FastPay and CasinoChan €20 after 12 months, Lucky Dreams €10 after 120 days, and BitStarz at least €5 after 6 months. We found no inactivity rule in Lucky Tiger's terms on 7 November 2026; that is not proof there is none.

All nine also ask you to bet the deposit itself before you withdraw.

Bonuses and wagering in dollars

A bonus raises the amount you must bet before withdrawing, often to dozens of times your deposit. Wagering is the total of all your bets that a casino requires before it lets you withdraw.

Fair Go, PlayCroco and Ozwin all count it the same way for deposit bonus coupons (the terms' name for bonuses you claim with a deposit; PlayCroco's welcome offer, for example, comes with a coupon code): a multiplier times the sum of the deposit plus the bonus, "unless otherwise stated". Fair Go and PlayCroco use 30×; Ozwin uses 35×.

Our arithmetic, from the figures on each casino's pages and in its terms on 7 November 2026.

Without a bonus. The terms of all nine ask you to bet the deposit itself before you withdraw. Fair Go's terms say: "You must wager your deposit at least once (1×) before you can request a withdrawal from your account." On A$20 that's A$20 of bets. Ozwin's terms set the same rule: "you must wager each deposit at least once (1×) before requesting a withdrawal. If you fail to meet this requirement, an administrative fee of 15% will be deducted." Another clause says Ozwin "reserves the right" to charge this fee, "typically 15%"; neither says what the 15% is taken from. PlayCroco, Lucky Tiger and BitStarz also set 1×. FastPay, CasinoChan and Casino Rocket set three times: "Any deposit must be wagered three (3) times the deposited amount before you may withdraw those funds." Lucky Dreams sets the same 3×. Those three add: "The Casino reserves the right to charge a processing fee or refuse withdrawal if wagering requirements are unmet." Lucky Dreams keeps the same right. CasinoChan, Casino Rocket and Lucky Dreams don't state the fee. FastPay does: if the bets since your last deposit don't exceed three times the deposit on slots, or 10 times on live or table games, "such a withdrawal will be charged with a 10% fee", and whether to approve it is "at the sole discretion" of its management. So A$20 means A$60 of bets at CasinoChan or Lucky Dreams. An A$15 deposit at FastPay means A$45 of bets on slots or A$150 on live or table games (our arithmetic).

One case from start to finish: A$20 at CasinoChan, no bonus.

1. You pay in A$20 by Neosurf or e-wallet.
2. You bet A$60 (3×) before you withdraw (our arithmetic). Bets can lose, so your balance may be lower by then.
3. Your balance has to reach the minimum for your withdrawal method: A$10 by crypto, A$20 by e-wallet, A$30 by PayAnyBank or A$100 by bank. CasinoChan may pay by a different method than the one you choose.
4. You may have to prove who you are. Its terms say "We reserve the right to verify your identity before processing any withdrawals". If you don't provide the documents, it "may suspend or close your Account, and any funds in your balance will be forfeited".
5. Even then, the casino may not pay, and for an illegal service ACMA says Australian regulators can't help (can you get your money back).

Fair Go with its bonus. The promotions page offers "100% up to $200 - Redeem it 5 times!". The terms set 30× for deposit bonus coupons "unless otherwise stated", and the page doesn't say whether this offer states otherwise. If 30× applies, A$20 plus an A$20 bonus means A$1,200 of bets. The terms also cap a bet at A$10 "unless specifically stated otherwise", so that's at least 120 bets. For what the terms call "free bonuses", Fair Go sets at least 60× unless otherwise stated.

PlayCroco. The promotions page offers "200% up to $5,000" and gives its own example: "Deposit $20, play with $60". That's A$20 of your money plus an A$40 bonus. If the general 30× applies, as the bonus terms set unless otherwise stated, you would need 30 × A$60 = A$1,800 in bets before withdrawing. The same terms say "Betting above $10 during a bonus playthrough will result in any promotion winnings voided", and that for selected deposit bonuses "a maximum cashout limit of up to 20× the deposit amount may apply"; they don't say which bonuses are selected.

Ozwin. The welcome package is "400% up to $4,000, plus 100 Free Spins", split into two steps of "200% up to $2,000 + 50 Free Spins". The terms set 35× unless otherwise stated. If that applies to this offer, A$20 plus an A$40 bonus means A$2,100 of bets (our arithmetic).

Lucky Tiger. Its terms say the wagering on Welcome Match bonuses is "calculated as (deposit + bonus) x35 for slots and cards". Its home page lists 250% on the first deposit, so A$25 plus an A$62.50 bonus means A$3,062.50 of bets (our arithmetic). Each A$1 bet on card games counts as A$0.20. The same terms add: "Welcome Match Bonuses carry a maximum withdrawal calculated as x20 the deposit amount except where explicitly stated otherwise." On A$25 that is A$500 (our arithmetic).

What an A$5 deposit gets. None of the nine casinos' pages or terms we read confirms a bonus on an A$5 deposit. Fair Go, Ozwin and PlayCroco use the same words: "All deposit bonuses require a minimum deposit of $20, unless stated otherwise." We found no other minimum for their welcome offers. The other bonus minimums we found are A$20 at FastPay and for BitStarz's deposit bonus, A$25 at Lucky Tiger, A$30 at Casino Rocket, A$40 for BitStarz's free spins and €20 or the equivalent at CasinoChan (A$25 on its promotion cards); we found none for Lucky Dreams. Fair Go's terms add: "Winnings generated from ANY of our deposit based reward bonuses (Weekly, Monthly, Yearly, Snail Mail or any other) will not be honoured if the awarded deposit is below $5." Lucky Tiger's bonus lines also say "Minimum deposit $25 (Neosurf $10)", but the page we read doesn't spell out whether an A$10 Neosurf deposit gets the bonus.

What the other five casinos' bonus terms say. These come from their terms, not from an offer we saw live; we have not checked that any of them is open to a new player in Australia. Sizes dated 24 October 2026 come from promotions pages we read that day and did not read again on 7 November.

• FastPay: "The First Deposit Bonus: 100% up to 750 AUD + 100 free spins", from A$20 in a single payment (two payments of A$15 don't qualify). "Wagering requirements for the bonus money is 50x", to be completed within 48 hours, "otherwise, the bonus and all winnings will be forfeited". Cash-out from the bonus is capped at 10 times the bonus. An A$20 deposit with an A$20 bonus means A$1,000 of bets in two days (our arithmetic, by the terms' own example).
• Casino Rocket: the standard first-deposit bonus needs a deposit of at least A$30 and goes up to A$500 + 50 free spins; the second goes up to A$1,000 + 100 free spins. "All bonuses (unless otherwise specified) need to be wagered 45 times", and for the welcome package that means "45 times the bonus amount", within 14 days. So each A$1 of bonus means A$45 of bets, and an A$30 bonus means A$1,350 (our arithmetic). Table games, roulette and video poker count 0%, and live dealer games don't count. The maximum bet with an active bonus is A$7.50. The terms add that the bonus size and minimum "may be subject to change if a player registers via a partner's site".
• BitStarz: a deposit bonus needs a deposit of at least A$20; the 180 free spins in its welcome package need at least A$40. Its bonuses page on 24 October 2026 said "a 100% bonus + 180 Free Spins on your first deposit". "All bonuses (unless otherwise specified) need to be wagered 40 (forty) times", within 7 days for the welcome package. The terms don't say whether 40× counts the bonus or the deposit plus the bonus: on A$20 with a 100% bonus, that's A$800 or A$1,600 of bets (our arithmetic). Slots count 100%, apart from excluded ones; table games, video poker and live games count 5%. If you withdraw the deposit before the bonus wagering is done, "bonus funds and all winnings from this bonus will be forfeited."
• CasinoChan: a bonus needs "a deposit of at least €20 or an equivalent amount in their selected currency"; "No bonuses are available for any of the crypto currencies." The terms give no A$ figure and its promotion cards on 7 November 2026 list "25 AUD", so an A$20 deposit, its lowest listed, may not get the bonus; check the A$ amount on the offer before you pay. Its bonuses page on 24 October 2026 showed "100% UP TO 1850 AUD + 100 FREE SPINS" for the first deposit. "Deposit bonuses must be wagered 40X times", and they expire after 30 days. The terms don't say whether 40× counts the bonus or the deposit plus the bonus: on A$25 (the minimum on its promotion cards) with a 100% bonus, that's A$1,000 or A$2,000 of bets (our arithmetic). Slots count 100%, with some exceptions; the listed table games, video poker, roulette, poker and crash games count 5%. The maximum bet with an active bonus is A$8.
• Lucky Dreams: its promotions page on 24 October 2026 showed "100% up to $500 + 100 Free Spins" for the first deposit (currency not stated); we did not find a minimum deposit for it. Unless an offer's own terms say otherwise, bonuses "must be wagered 40 times the bonus amount/free spins winnings amount" within 7 days. So an A$20 bonus means A$800 of bets (our arithmetic). Slots count 100%, with some exceptions; roulette counts 25%, blackjack 10% and baccarat 0%. Its bonus terms cap bonus winnings at 5,000 (AUD is among the listed currencies) and the bet at A$8 while a bonus is being wagered.

Bonus terms are one risk. The bigger one is the law, and whether you get paid at all.

The law, ACMA's blocked list and your risk

Australian law bans providing online casinos to people in Australia. It targets the providers, not the players, but the money risk falls on players. The federal Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts explains it this way on its page about the Interactive Gambling Act 2001:

"It's illegal to provide some interactive gambling activities, such as 'online casinos', to someone in Australia. Examples include roulette, poker, craps, online 'pokies' and blackjack."

"It targets the providers of interactive gambling, not their potential or actual customers."

"This offence applies to all interactive gambling providers, whether based in Australia or offshore, whether Australian or foreign owned."

"Customers should be aware that if they gamble using illegal services, they run a high risk of losing their money. These services sometimes refuse to return deposits or pay winnings to the customer."

Source: The Interactive Gambling Act 2001, infrastructure.gov.au, read 7 November 2026.

The offence sits with the provider; for players, the department's warning is about money. That warning matters here: a casino that refuses to pay out leaves you with no A$100 withdrawal, whatever its page lists.

What the casinos' own terms say about your country. Four of the nine tie play to the law where you live. We quote them without drawing a conclusion for players in Australia; how they apply to you is a question for a lawyer.

• Fair Go lists, among the circumstances in which it may "void any winnings and confiscate the balance in your Casino account": "If you reside in a jurisdiction where participation in the Game is prohibited by law".
• PlayCroco: a member must be "located in a jurisdiction where online gaming is not prohibited".
• Ozwin: "It is solely your responsibility to verify the legality of online gaming in your jurisdiction."
• Lucky Dreams: "The Website accepts Users only from those countries and geographic regions where online gambling is allowed by law."

FastPay, CasinoChan and Casino Rocket also write: "Use of VPNs to bypass geographic restrictions is strictly prohibited and may lead to confiscation of winnings." A VPN is a service that makes your connection appear to come from another country.

The department's page also says: "It's generally illegal to advertise interactive online gambling to Australian audiences." This article carries no links, buttons or paid placements for any casino. Casino addresses appear only as text, to show where each figure came from.

ACMA asks internet providers to block websites on its list, and the list includes domains of all nine brands. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) says: "We will ask an internet service provider to block access to a website where serious criminal or civil offences are involved." Its example includes "providing prohibited interactive gambling services to customers in Australia (such as online casinos, online slot machines and services that allow in-play online sports betting)".

On ACMA's list as of 7 November 2026:

• For two casinos, BitStarz and Lucky Dreams, the address we read is on the list.
• For four, Ozwin, PlayCroco, FastPay and CasinoChan, the brand's main address and other domains with its name are on the list. Our check doesn't show whether the address we read is among them.
• For three, Fair Go, Lucky Tiger and Casino Rocket, only other domains with the brand name are on the list: 49, 2 and 15 of them. The address we read was not found.

Not found on the list does not mean permitted. The law quoted above applies to the provider, whatever address it uses. You can check any address on ACMA's Blocked gambling websites page.

Can you get your money back if a casino won't pay?

If an illegal service won't pay, ACMA says Australian regulators can't help and you are unlikely to get the money back. Its page Protect yourself from illegal gambling operators says: "If you use an illegal service, Australian regulators will not be able to help you if: you believe the service provider has treated you or another player poorly; the service provider withholds your winnings". It adds: "Unfortunately, you are unlikely to see your money again in these situations." A block can also cut you off from your balance: "This means you may not be able to log in and access your existing account." For problems recovering money from an overseas gambling website, ACMA lists three options: "seek independent legal advice; complain to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission; contact the relevant licensing authority". ACMA lists these options but does not say they will get your money back.

In November 2019 ACMA urged Australians with accounts at "illegal gambling websites such as Emu Casino or FairGo Casino to withdraw their money now". We have not checked whether that FairGo is the same operator as fairgocasino5.com.

Credit and crypto: a ban that covers online betting providers. Since 11 June 2024, under the Interactive Gambling Amendment (Credit and Other Measures) Act 2023, online betting providers (the law's term is "online wagering service providers"; this is not the bonus wagering above) have a payment ban. The department's Credit card ban page says: "Online wagering service providers are banned from accepting credit cards, credit-related products (e.g. digital wallets) or digital currencies (e.g. cryptocurrency) as payment methods." The rule is written for betting providers; the sources we used don't say how it relates to online casinos.

For this ban, the department says companies that fail to enforce it "may be liable for fines of up to $247,500" (A$), and that ACMA "has responsibility for overseeing compliance with the credit betting ban". The list of payment methods is in section 15C of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001.

More changes are coming. ACMA says that on 19 August 2026 Parliament passed the Interactive Gambling Amendment (Gambling Reform) Bill 2026, and that "Most of the reforms commence on 1 January 2027" (About the Interactive Gambling Act, read 7 November 2026). We have not checked what the reforms will change for the casinos on this page.

If you still want to compare these casinos, check the figures yourself: they change.

Check the figures yourself

The figures above are as listed on these addresses on 7 November 2026. Casinos change their cashiers and terms, often without a date on the page. Six checks cover the catches on this page:

1. The minimum withdrawal for your method, on the banking page or in the cashier. If it is higher than your deposit, you'll need to win or add money up to that amount before anything comes out. Check too whether the terms make you withdraw by the method you paid in with, or let the casino choose: BitStarz, Fair Go, Ozwin and Lucky Tiger point to the deposit method; FastPay, CasinoChan and Casino Rocket may pay by another.
2. The wagering rules in the terms: the multiplier, what it counts (deposit, or deposit plus bonus), and how many times the deposit itself must be bet before withdrawal (1× or 3× at these nine; FastPay's fee rule counts 10× on live or table games).
3. The minimum deposit for any bonus, in the offer's own terms. If your deposit is below it, you get no bonus.
4. Whether the address is on ACMA's list, on the Blocked gambling websites page.
5. What proof of identity the casino asks for before the first withdrawal, in the terms. Lucky Tiger requires it before the first withdrawal; at Casino Rocket, documents not provided can cost you the balance.
6. Whether you can afford not to be paid. Even when every condition above is met, the casino may not pay, and for an illegal service ACMA says Australian regulators can't help then (can you get your money back). Deposit only what you can afford to lose.

The cashier after sign-up may differ from the one shown before login. Figures for one address don't carry over to other addresses of the same brand.

FAQ

Sources and method

How we read the casinos. We read each casino's own pages and terms on 7 November 2026 from an Australian connection, without signing in or depositing; the figures were the same as at our previous reading on 30 October 2026. The bonus sizes at BitStarz, CasinoChan and Lucky Dreams are the exception: they come from promotions pages read on 24 October 2026 and carry that date. No figure here has been tested with a real payment. Where a page writes "$", we give it as A$. For the general terms of PlayCroco and BitStarz we used copies our terms collector saved from an Australian connection the same day. CasinoChan publishes more than one terms text; we used the one casinochan.com showed our terms collector from an Australian connection that day (effective 11 May 2026). Casino pages are listed as text only:

Order. Casinos are ordered by the smallest deposit listed on their page, then by the smallest non-crypto deposit, then alphabetically. Casino Rocket shows its cheapest method only as an image, so within the same amount it comes after the casino whose method is known. Bonus, wagering, withdrawals and the ACMA list are shown for comparison and don't affect the order. This is not a ranking.

Calculations. Wagering totals, the bets needed to turn over a deposit 1×, 3× or 10×, the 20-times ratio and the fee example are our arithmetic from the casinos' own figures. Where they rest on an assumption, the assumption is stated next to the figure. Coin minimums in A$ are our estimate at the CoinGecko rate of 08:19 UTC on 7 November 2026, a third-party price; FastPay's and Casino Rocket's terms say they don't exchange crypto for ordinary money.

Disclosure. No casino paid to be listed, and this page has no affiliate links.
