Online gambling in Australia is primarily governed by the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (IGA), administered by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). The IGA prohibits Australian companies from offering certain real-money interactive gambling services to Australians — but it does not make it illegal for Australian residents to access offshore online casinos. Richard Casino is operated by Hollycorn N.V. from Curaçao under licence 8048/JAZ (Curaçao Gaming Control Board), which means it operates outside Australian jurisdiction and is legally accessible to Aussie players aged 18+.
The minimum legal gambling age is 18 across all Australian states and territories (Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania, ACT and NT). If you are under 18, you must not register or play.
Tax on winnings: Recreational gambling winnings are generally not subject to income tax in Australia. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) does not treat casual gambling wins as assessable income. If you gamble professionally or as a business activity, different rules may apply — consult a registered tax agent for advice.
Player protections: Richard Casino offers responsible gambling tools including deposit limits, session limits, loss limits and self-exclusion. You can also register with BetStop — Australia's National Self-Exclusion Register — to block access to all licensed Australian wagering services at once (betStop.com.au). For free, confidential help with gambling problems, contact Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 (24/7) or visit gamblinghelponline.org.au. Gamblers Anonymous Australia meetings are available nationwide.
Your funds and data are protected by SSL encryption. Richard Casino does not sell your personal information to third parties. For complaints or disputes, contact support first; if unresolved, the operator can direct you to independent alternative dispute resolution options as set out in the Terms and Conditions.
