  2. Selecting the best online casino in Australia may seem overwhelming with so many choices. E-wallets offer quick deposits and withdrawals, and you don’t need to share bank or card details with the casino. They offer lower house edges than pokies, offering a more consistent win potential over an individual gaming session. Online pokies are the most popular casino game in Australia and come in heaps of themes, mechanics, and win potential. Pick your poison with lists ranging from classic table games to modern live dealer favourites and, of course, unique pokie titles.
    This is most likely the only time I’ve reviewed an online casino in Australia with a proper VIP welcome package. That’s 10 bonuses you can get in a row, with each one combining a deposit match and free spins. I’m also a big fan of the welcome bonus, which offers a 10-tier deposit match of up to A$7,500 and 550 free spins for the All Lucky Clover 5 slot (a popular BGaming slot with an RTP of 97%). The game selection is as good as some of the best AU casinos around, say Stay Casino or Wild Tokyo.
