Online Gambling Information

Online casinos give you the opportunity to play pokies for real money from the comfort of your own home. No longer do you have to go to your local pub, club, RSL or casino to enjoy the excitement that poker machines offer. Playing online gives you some great advantages over playing offline.

Some of these advantages include,

  • You can collect lots of bonuses and special promotions
  • The games online typically have higher payout percentages
  • You can play at any time you want
  • You have access to a huge library of different pokies
  • The jackpots online can go into the millions

Online Casino History

It was in 1994 that the first gaming sites started to appear on the Internet and the idea of playing casino games from home was an instant hit with players. In the early days the game range was very limited but today there are thousands of poker machines you can play online.

Over the years the regulatory landscape has seen some major changes with a large number of countries introducing licensing regimes for gaming sites. Unfortunately a very small number of countries including Australia have gone with prohibition instead of regulation. We hope to see this change in the future.

Casino Bonuses

All online gaming sites offer new players the chance to claim a sign-up bonus when you join. * While these bonuses can be a great way to get more play for your money there are Terms and Conditions attached to all bonuses offers.

Before claiming any bonus you MUST read the terms and conditions as if you do not you may do something that voids any winnings. Bonus issues are the number one cause of player disputes most of which would not have happened if the player read the terms. Common bonus terms include but are not limited to,

  • Wagering requirements
  • Max bet limits
  • Game restrictions

Many players decide to opt out of the sign-up bonuses which means you can play without the restrictions. Again, if you do decide to take any bonuses please read the terms before you do.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are there no online casinos for Australians?

In 2017 the Australian Government amended the Interactive Gambling Act to enforce a prohibition of online gaming in Australia. This effectively banned online casinos from offering their services to customers located in Australia.

How do I deposit money into my online casino account?

All of the casinos we list accept a wide range of deposit methods. The most popular are credit and debit cards and virtual wallets like NETeller. There are lots of other options so see the casino websites for details.

Is it safe to use my credit card to deposit?

Yes - all of the casinos listed above use 128-bit SSL encryption which is the same level of security used by the major financial institutions. The casinos process billions of dollars worth of transactions every year.

How old do I have to be to play?

You must be at least 18 years of age (21 in some jurisdictions) to play pokies both offline and online. You will be required to provide ID documents to verify your information when you join any of the casinos.

Can I claim the same bonus more than once?

No. Opening multiple accounts at a casino to claim a bonus more than once is against the terms and conditions at all online casinos. If you do try to do this most casinos will void any winnings so there is no point breaking the rules.

What happens if I get disconnected while playing?

Simply re-connect and you will be returned to exactly where you were before you were disconnected. When playing for real all game states are saved (unlike here at FreePokies.com).

Do I have to download software to play?

No - all of the casinos we list offer a no download version so you can play instantly in your browser just like you play the games here at FreePokies.com

Can I play on my mobile?

Yes, all of the online gaming sites listed at FreePokies.com are compatible with mobile and tablet devices.
