What reaches your bank differs a lot. Weekly limits in the terms read 20 October 2026 run from A$2,000 to A$22,500 at the entry tier. And 24 of the 25 brands named here have domains carrying their name on the blocked list of the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).
What “payout” means: three numbers
“Payout” can mean three different numbers. Return to player (RTP) is the share of stakes a game pays back over a very large number of rounds; the game's information panel prints it.
The version is which build of that game the casino lists: some studios publish one game at several returns. Cash-out terms decide whether a win becomes money in your account: the weekly limit, the processing time the terms state, the cap on bonus winnings and any fee.
An advert for a “98% payout” is about the first number. A weekly limit of A$2,000 is about the third. Pick the number that matches your question. If you mainly care about speed, see fast paying casinos and withdrawal times by method.
Which casino pays back the most? Game returns, lobby by lobby
Eight lobbies on this page print a return figure (the “payout” field) for each game. On 23 October 2026 we read their whole catalogues from an Australian internet address, without logging in: 55,364 game listings, 55,176 of them with a figure.

Rows are in alphabetical order: with equal medians, the order means nothing. The lowest figure at seven lobbies is the same game, Spinoro's Ruby Prizes at 66.0%.
A catalogue mixes pokies, table games, scratch cards, keno and crash games; we did not count pokies separately. Each figure is what the lobby lists for that game, not a measured result, and we did not open the games to confirm that the same version loads.
So no casino in this set pays back more overall. The medians are equal, and the share of games below 94% differs by 1.5 points at most (3.9% to 5.4%). What the eight lobbies print is a figure per game, not one figure for the casino.
This comparison does not cover every brand on the page. Casino Mate, Wolf Winner and King Johnnie have a return field in their lobby data, but it was empty for every game on 22 October 2026. The catalogues of the other brands were not read for this check.
Why the same game shows a different RTP at two casinos
A studio can release one game at several returns, and the casino chooses which to list. Hacksaw Gaming's page for Wanted Dead or a Wild lists four: 96.38%, 94.55%, 92.33% and 88.42% (read 23 October 2026). The studio does not say which version any casino uses.
Inside one catalogue, the same title from the same studio can appear at two figures. King Billy had 18 such titles on 23 October 2026, for example VoltEnt's 9 Tigers at 94.25% and 96.15%. PlayAmo, Woo and CasinoChan had 11 each, Golden Crown and Ricky one, Casinonic and FastPay none. These may be two versions or two games sharing a name; the catalogue does not say which.
On 23 October 2026 the Australian-facing catalogues of these eight lobbies listed no games from Hacksaw, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Evolution, Play'n GO, Relax Gaming, Playtech, Nolimit City or Red Tiger. We do not know why. The Hacksaw example shows how versions work; it does not come from these lobbies.
Sixty-second check before a session
- Open the game, then its information or paytable panel, and read the RTP line. That is where the game states its own return.
- Below about 94% for a pokie, try another game. About nine in ten games with a figure in these catalogues list roughly 94% or more (all game types; pokies not counted separately).
- Check again at each casino. Which version a casino lists is its own choice.
- If you do not want to check every time, prefer studios whose games sit in a narrow range in these catalogues (next table).
Which studios list higher returns?
Pooled across the eight catalogues on 23 October 2026, here are the ten studios with the most listings. A listing is one game at one casino, so a game listed by all eight lobbies counts eight times.
| Studio | Listings | Titles | Median | Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1spin4win | 1,517 | 227 | 97.10% | 96.5–97.6% |
| BGaming | 2,247 | 311 | 97.00% | 90.0–99.48% |
| TaDa Gaming | 1,673 | 284 | 97.00% | 95.44–97.46% |
| Betsoft | 1,717 | 263 | 96.13% | 91.23–99.71% |
| Evoplay | 1,589 | 267 | 96.02% | 92.15–99.7% |
| KA Gaming | 7,849 | 1,048 | 96.00% | 95.0–98.0% |
| Yggdrasil | 1,613 | 373 | 96.00% | 90.5–97.3% |
| Booming Games | 1,647 | 237 | 95.80% | 94.92–97.11% |
| VoltEnt | 2,932 | 399 | 94.32% | 93.54–99.59% |
| Spinoro | 1,548 | 234 | 94.00% | 66.0–97.3% |
The ten studios with the most listings, ordered by median (ties alphabetical); smaller studios are not shown. A narrow range (1spin4win, TaDa Gaming, Booming Games, KA Gaming) means less checking. A wide range (Spinoro, Betsoft, Evoplay, BGaming) means the game panel matters more. A studio median says nothing certain about any single game.
What is a good RTP, and which games pay back the most?
Across every game with a printed figure in the eight catalogues, the median is 96.00%, and about nine in ten games list roughly 94% or more. Pokies were not counted separately.
So 96% is a fair reference for a pokie, and below about 94% is a reason to look at another game. This is a benchmark from these catalogues, not a studio rule. For pokies in detail, see best paying pokies.
The type of game moves the return more than the choice of casino does:
- Video poker, Jacks or Better with optimal play: 99.54% on a 9/6 paytable, 97.30% on 8/5 (Wizard of Odds). The paytable is on screen. Video poker.
- Blackjack: Beter Live's VIP, Speed, Spooky and Private Edition tables list 99.51% in Woo's catalogue; Grand Bonus Blackjack lists 96.78%. Blackjack.
- Baccarat, eight decks: 98.94% on the banker, 85.64% on the tie (from Wizard of Odds' house edges of 1.06% and 14.36%). Baccarat.
- Roulette: 97.30% on a European single-zero wheel (36/37), 94.74% on an American double-zero wheel (36/38). Roulette.
- Pokies: not counted separately; 96.00% is the median of whole catalogues.
- Keno: Keno Classic in New South Wales, Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory returns 63.6% to 75.1% per A$1, depending on how many spots you pick, with jackpots at their starting value (our calculation from the official prize tables, 19 October 2026). Online keno games list their own figure: 100HP's Keno appears at both 95.0% and 98.0% in King Billy's catalogue. Keno.
- Scratch cards: at least one in the catalogues, Coin Blox Scratchcard, lists 70.0%. We did not work out a range for scratch cards.
The video poker, blackjack and baccarat figures assume correct play and the stated rules; we did not check each table's rules. See also the house edge by game.
How much can you withdraw a week, and how fast?
At the entry tier, weekly limits in the general terms run from A$2,000 (Lucky Tiger, Rich Palms, Shazam) to A$22,500 (King Billy). The table quotes each casino's general terms, read 20 October 2026 from an Australian internet address (banking pages 22 October; Golden Crown's bonus terms 17 October; Dundee Slots' and Queen Spins' withdrawal limits re-read 27 October). Times are what the terms state; we did not measure them. The last column counts domains carrying the brand's name on ACMA's blocked list on 23 October 2026. For a clause-by-clause reading of such terms, see our study of withdrawal terms at 30 casinos.
Order: the weekly limit at the entry tier for an AUD account, highest first, ties alphabetical. For sorting, a limit of 10,000 in the player's currency counts as A$10,000 for an AUD account, and PlayCroco's “$7,500” (currency not named) as A$7,500. Terms with no weekly figure (BitStarz, Grand Rush) come last. Queen Spins has two English versions of its terms; its row uses the version for Australia (A$), not the international one (€). This is not a ranking of the casinos.
At 11 casinos below, all on the SoftSwiss platform, you must bet a total of three times your deposit before you withdraw it. Otherwise the casino may charge a fee or refuse. The 11 are Golden Crown, PlayAmo, Woo, CasinoChan, Ricky, Casinonic, Queen Spins, Dundee Slots, Spinago, King Billy and Rocket. Each one's terms say: “Any deposit must be wagered three (3) times the deposited amount before you may withdraw those funds.” Next to it: “The Casino reserves the right to charge a processing fee or refuse withdrawal if wagering requirements are unmet.”

A cell saying Not in the general terms means we did not find it there; a promotion's own rules may set a cap. A cell saying No time in the terms is not a promise of speed.
Ranges: for Rocket one listed domain is disputed, and for Lucky Tiger and Rich Palms the second domain may be a promotional site rather than the casino. Dates and sources are in the last section.
Can you play there from Australia, and what does the ACMA list mean?
Online for real money, no provider may offer an online casino to people in Australia. If you use one anyway, ACMA warns that such services “will not give you the same customer protection as a licensed service”. It adds that if the site is blocked, “you may not be able to log in and access your existing account” (read 22 October 2026).
ACMA says the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 “makes it illegal for gambling providers to offer some online services to people in Australia”. Its list of banned services includes “online casinos”. No online casino is licensed in Australia. ACMA publishes a list of blocked gambling websites.
On 23 October 2026 that list had 1,810 domains. For 24 of the 25 brands on this page, at least one listed domain carries the brand's name (counts in the table above; FastPay 13, Ignition 16). Casino Mate had none, which does not make it licensed or legal to offer in Australia. We did not check who runs each listed domain.
For the law in more detail, see is online gambling legal in Australia.
Does anyone check these percentages?
Not in a way you can see for each casino. In the general terms of the 24 casinos we read on 20 October 2026 (the 23 in the table plus Ignition), none names a testing laboratory; we searched for the testing labs eCOGRA, iTech, GLI and BMM and for the word “laboratory”. Lucky Tiger, Rich Palms and Shazam say they use a “certified and audited Random Number Generator (RNG)” without naming the auditor.
Ignition's separate fairness page, read 23 October 2026, says it uses an RNG and names no laboratory or report. So a figure in a game panel is a statement by the casino or the studio. We did not read casino footers or other casinos' fairness pages.
So where do winnings pay back best?
By game return, no casino stands out: the eight lobbies we read share a 96.00% median, so choose the game and check its panel. By cash-out, read three cells in your casino's row — weekly limit, time and fees — against what you plan to do:
- A large win: the weekly limit and any instalment rule decide how long it takes. At A$2,000 a week, A$20,000 takes ten weeks.
- Playing with a bonus: the bonus win cap decides what you can keep. Where the cell says per promotion, read that promotion's rules first.
- Depositing and withdrawing after little play: the 3× deposit rule at the 11 SoftSwiss casinos applies, and so do the fees of 10% or more at Casino Mate, Jackpot Jill, King Johnnie and Wolf Winner and “typically 15%” at Ozwin.
This holds for the terms read 17–22 October 2026 only. Terms change, and times were not measured. Every brand here except Casino Mate has domains on ACMA's list, and that does not make Casino Mate licensed. Our full list of reviews covers each casino in more detail.
FAQ
Which online casino has the highest payout in Australia?
By game return, none on this page: on 23 October 2026 all eight lobbies that print a figure per game had a 96.00% median. Cash-out terms differ, from A$2,000 to A$22,500 a week at the entry tier (terms read 20 October 2026), and 24 of the 25 brands here have domains on ACMA's blocked list.
Why does the same pokie show a different RTP at two casinos?
Studios can release one game at several returns (Hacksaw lists Wanted Dead or a Wild at 96.38%, 94.55%, 92.33% and 88.42%), and the casino chooses which to list. The game's information panel shows the figure for the game you open.
What is a good RTP for a pokie?
About 96%: that is the median across every game with a figure in the eight catalogues we read on 23 October 2026, and about nine in ten list roughly 94% or more (pokies were not counted separately). Below about 94%, look at another game.
Which game pays out the most?
Of the games here, video poker on a 9/6 Jacks or Better paytable (99.54% with optimal play) and Beter Live blackjack tables listed at 99.51% in Woo's catalogue, then baccarat on the banker (98.94%) and European roulette (97.30%). Keno Classic in New South Wales, Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory returns 63.6% to 75.1%, with jackpots at their starting value.
How much can I withdraw a week, and how fast?
Under terms read 20 October 2026, from A$2,000 a week (Lucky Tiger, Rich Palms, Shazam) to A$22,500 (King Billy) at the entry tier; Queen Spins' terms for Australia, re-read 27 October 2026, state A$8,000 (its international version €5,000), and BitStarz and Grand Rush give no weekly figure. Processing times are what the terms state, from BitStarz's “shall try to pay out withdrawals within 1 hour” to several business days, and we did not measure them.
Is it legal to play at these casinos from Australia?
Online for real money, no provider may offer an online casino to people in Australia. ACMA says the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 “makes it illegal for gambling providers to offer some online services to people in Australia” and lists “online casinos” among banned services; no online casino is licensed here. On 23 October 2026, 24 of the 25 brands on this page had domains carrying their name on ACMA's blocked list; Casino Mate had none, which does not make it licensed.
Do casinos publish their payout percentage?
Not as one figure for the casino: the eight lobbies we read print a return per game, and none of the 24 casino terms we read on 20 October 2026 names a testing laboratory. The figure in a game's panel is the casino's or the studio's statement.
