Spinstralia Casino

Spinstralia Casino Review

Sometimes you can see red flags in the terms and conditions page of a casino, or once examining its payment systems more closely. It’s much more rare to see the red flags in the landing page, or even in the URL of the site – and yet, that’s precisely the case with Spinstralia Casino. Just from looking at the domain name (which has nothing to do with the casino name, or even with casinos in general), it’s obvious that its unknown owners have purchased a pre-existing, yet defunct domain name in order to ride on its rankings in Google.

That laughable attempt at SEO continues on the main page, which is absolutely chock-full of text that describes Spinstralia as “the best online casino” (obviously trying to tie it into these particular keywords). Because of that, and because of the site’s terrible design, it was a little difficult for us to tell apart fact from fiction: which of the claims they make are legitimate, and which ones were just there so that the proper keywords would be present for the sake of the Google algorithm.

One thing’s for sure, though: the best online casino this ain’t. Beyond that, we’ll need to dive in and see just how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Bonuses

No Deposit Bonus – AU$1,500 + 50 Free Spins

Before we really dive into the bonuses of Spinstralia Casino, we have to make it very clear that it’s impossible to verify whether any of those offers are actually real or not. That is because, even after signing up for an account, Spinstralia Casino doesn’t have a dedicated bonuses page – instead, you’re supposed to receive those bonuses automatically with deposit, or with the assistance of support. We haven’t made a deposit (for reasons that should become increasingly obvious as you read the review) and have been completely unable to get in touch with the support team.

Ordinarily this wouldn’t have been a problem, there are a lot of bonuses here that just seem… off. Case in point: the no deposit bonus, which will give you a staggering AU$1,500, alongside 50 free spins. Most online casinos don’t actually have a no deposit bonus, and the ones that do tend to give you no more than AU$5 to test out their features before you decide to take the plunge. As such, a no deposit bonus of AU$1,500 is suspicious – it’s an amount that would make even welcome bonuses blush!

What’s more, Spinstralia Casino claims that players can receive it, and “all they need to do is sign up for a bank account”. Huh? What is that even supposed to mean? Does Spinstralia Casino want you to sign up for a bank account with them? If so, that is an absolutely terrible idea, and one that no reasonable person should never even consider. It couldn’t be a more obvious scam!

Welcome Bonus – 150% Match up to AU$1,500 + 50 Free Spins

When we discussed the no deposit bonus above we pointed out that the amount sounds more like that of a welcome bonus instead. Spinstralia Casino immediately proved us right by simply… having the exact same offer as their welcome bonus. That’s right: by placing a deposit, you’ll receive a 150% match up to AU$1,500, as well as 50 spins on the pokie “Caishen’s Gold”.

On its own, that’s actually a really decent bonus – but considering all the red flags, we really have to wonder whether you’ll even see it at all, or if you do, whether you’ll be able to withdraw it. On paper, the site will require you to complete an x40 wagering requirement to do so, which is already higher than average… but, given everything that we know about the casino, it’s hard to believe that Spinstralia will let you withdraw anything even if you do manage to complete them.

Additional Welcome Bonuses

Spinstralia Casino doesn’t just offer one welcome bonus, it offers an entire package! To be more specific, you’ll be receiving a little extra cash to play with for your first four deposits, with the first offer being described above. The second bonus will give you more spins (100), but a lower match bonus, just 100% match up to AU$1,000. The third and fourth bonuses will give you the same match bonuses as the first and second ones respectively (150% up to AU$1,500 and 100% up to AU$1,000), but without any free spins attached to them.

In theory, this is a really good offer! In practice, it’s a little too good to be true, at least when you take into account all of the red flags surrounding the casino and its bonuses. Still, if you decide to take the risk and give the bonus a shot, be aware that you’ll need to deposit at least AU$25 to claim it, and then you’ll have to wager it x40 times to attempt a withdrawal. These conditions apply to all 4 of the welcome bonuses.

Games

While we have many issues with the bonuses available at Spinstralia Casino, it is undeniable that they’re quite diverse. The same can’t be said about its games, which encompass almost exclusively pokies. As such, we won’t go into too much detail here – we’ve gone at length about the pokies a bit below.

Beyond them, however, you won’t find almost anything except a very small number of table games. There isn’t a live section, nor any sports betting, bingo, skill-based games, or anything else of the sort. You can’t even bet on virtual sports! It boggles the mind why Spinstralia Casino genuinely thought that this scarce selection would satisfy the modern gambler even a little.

Pokies

At first glance, you might believe that the pokie selection is rather decent! After all, we’ve got hundreds of titles from over a dozen of the most well-respected providers out there! We’ve long praised the likes of Pragmatic Play for having very high-quality titles, so what’s the problem? Well… Take a closer look at the list of providers. Notice anything that shouldn’t be there?

While newbies to the Australian casino scene can’t be expected to know this, quite a lot of providers don’t offer their services in Australia due to our weird gambling regulations (or lack thereof). Some companies, like IGT, rely on subsidiaries (in this case, IGTech) to distribute their games. Others, like the vast majority of providers on this list, do not support our territory at all. In fact, if you go to an international casino and try to play a NetEnt game (for instance), all you’ll get is an error message.

Wouldn’t you know it, though – there isn’t a single error message to be found on Spinistralia Casino! And that is almost certainly because the games are fake. They’re mere copies of the titles created by reputable providers, but ones that the casino can control (as they don’t connect to the providers’ servers at all). We don’t need to tell you the many reasons why you should avoid betting any money on fake games.

Live casino

Unfortunately, live casino games are not currently available at Spinstralia Casino. Chances are they also won’t be available in the future, since it’s very likely that most, if not all of the games offered by Spinstralia Casino are fake. And while it’s relatively simple to fake pokies, the same doesn’t hold true for live games, such as those offered by Pragmatic Play – that’s why you can only find their pokies here and not their live offerings. Yet another sign that Spinstralia Casino is a deeply fraudulent one.

Deposits & Withdrawals

At this point, you might be thinking to yourself “boy, there sure are a lot of red flags about this casino!” Well, you ain’t seen nothing yet, because some of the strangest things about it lie in its payments. For starters, while the minimum deposit is AU$25 (which is reasonable), the minimum withdrawal is not specified. The maximum withdrawal, however, is: and it’s a mere AU$500 a day. Some of the lowest we’ve seen.

This isn’t the weird part, though. The weird part comes from when we examine the available payment methods, which are perplexing to say the least. For example, Visa is available for both deposits and withdrawals, which is very odd because Australian online casinos are not permitted to use Visa for payment processing, only MasterCard. While you can find Visa available as an option on more international sites that just so happen to accept Australians among others, an AU-only site accepting Visa payments is… if not illegal, then definitely breaching some regulations.

What’s even weirder is the inclusion of PayPal, which isn’t found even on big international casinos! PayPal as a company generally don’t endorse gambling, which is why it’s almost impossible to find it on the overwhelming majority of websites. The very few that do offer it (none operating in Australia as far as we can tell) go through intense regulations to solidify good relations with PayPal… and we somehow doubt that a site with no license and an unknown owner has gone through the same motions.

Withdrawal time

The site’s main page alleges that you can withdraw with any of the methods that you can use for deposit – except, of course, for the pre-paid solutions. It would’ve been a little bit weird if they were included as well, after all! But which of the payment options will lead to the fastest withdrawals? We’ve got a few ideas, but before that, we need to make it very clear that all of these estimates are purely theoretical. In practice, we can’t guarantee that any payments will actually take place.

With that said, most players will likely gravitate first towards bank transfer or card withdrawals – chances are every Aussie already has at least one of those, right? Well, don’t be so hasty: while Spinstralia Casino won’t tell you that, these methods can be incredibly slow, and can take up to 10 days to process your payment. Does that sound like it’s way too long? Then you should consider withdrawing via crypto or e-wallet, like PayPal or Skrill. It will still take a day or two simply because that’s how long Spinstralia will take to process the transaction, but after that, it should (again, theoretically speaking) arrive right away.

VIP Program

To its credit, Spinstralia Casino does actually offer players the chance to participate in a VIP program that will reward them with various perks and extras, allegedly. The problem is that, since the site doesn’t have a dedicated VIP page, all of the information we’ve got stems from what few nuggets of information there are on the main page. And trust us, it isn’t much.

The casino offers “lower wager”, personal VIP support assistant, exclusive bonuses and promotions, higher withdrawal limits, and many other perks. All of them sound pretty good, but how you’re actually supposed to get them is a mystery lost to the ages. The main page also makes mention of a cashback program, but it does so in deliberately unspecific terms (like saying that “some platforms” offer a cashback, not whether Spinstralia does). As such, we can’t confirm whether the casino offers any cashback features, and if it does, how they’re tied into the VIP program (if it exists).

Tournaments

In all honesty, we didn’t expect Spinstralia Casino to offer any tournaments – while it does offer an okay selection of pokies, sites like this tend to generally provide the bare minimum when it comes to their extra features. As such, imagine our surprise when we spotted a big button labeled “Tournaments”… Only for it to lead to a broken page. Sometimes, you can be surprised by how much you’re not surprised.

To be completely fair, the page isn’t exactly “broken” – it just gives a generic “under construction” text that promises something which, let’s face it, will not be delivered. There will never be any tournaments at Spinstralia Casino, and we don’t need a crystal ball in front of us to practically guarantee it. Hell, it’s doubtful that we’ll even get any “Drops & Wins” tournaments that are organized by the pokie providers rather than the casino itself.

Verification

It’s very common for online casinos to require you to verify your identity before you’re allowed to make a withdrawal – in fact, every single legitimate site does it in order to comply with money laundering regulations. So, how does Spinstralia Casino go about it? Well… It doesn’t. Probably?

The fact of the matter is that the words “verification” aren’t mentioned at all on the main page of the site, where most of its player-focused information is located. It only appears in the terms and conditions, where it’s used very loosely – “we may ask you to confirm your identity”, the casino “reserves the right to carry such verification procedures”, and so on.

Will you be asked to verify your identity when it’s time for your first withdrawal? We don’t know. Chances are Spinstralia Casino doesn’t, either.

Is Spinstralia Casino Legit & safe?

If you’ve been reading our review in order up until this point, then you should already have a pretty decent idea that Spinstralia Casino isn’t safe at all. But we haven’t even gotten to the worst part yet: namely, that the site is completely unlicensed, and seems to have an unknown owner. Nowhere is it mention who owns it, which is one of the biggest red flags of them all.

This means that, if you get scammed, there is literally nothing you can do about it. You can’t report the casino to the regulator because it’s not regulated. You can’t even sue them if you’re so inclined, because you wouldn’t know to whom to serve the documents. And take our word for it: no legitimate online casino has ever needed to hide who owns it from its players.

Customer support

If something went wrong with your Spinstralia Casino experience, like some game that didn’t work, or even worse, a deposit that didn’t reflect or a withdrawal that got denied, you’d have little choice but to reach out to the customer support specialists and attempt to solve the problem. That’s why it’s so important for casinos to have a great support service – and why it’s so bad that Spinstralia doesn’t.

Unlike most other casinos, you can’t reach out to them via live chat or e-mail. These all too common avenues have been completely closed to players, and if you see a little chat icon in the bottom right corner of your screen, it’s a lie. It won’t connect you to anyone, and will instead send your message to the team who will respond via e-mail at a later date. In other words, it’s a carefully concealed ticketing service, and one that doesn’t even seem to work, given the fact that it’s been nearly 48 hours since we sent them our questions as of the time of writing this review and we still haven’t received a reply from them.

Mobile casino

At this point, given what we know about Spinstralia Casino, it might surprise you to learn that its mobile version is… functional. It’s not good, mind you: the casino already has a pretty lacking design on desktop, and its mobile version doesn’t change the fundamentals. What it does is add just a few quality of life features, such as giving you a handy menu tucked into the left side of the screen.

It’s not much. In fact, many might say that it’s the bare minimum. But given the fact that we have consistently failed to receive even that from Spinstralia Casino, it honestly came as a bit of a surprise to us. Is it worth praising? Absolutely not. But it’s worth pointing out that at least one aspect of this casino floated somewhat above rock bottom.
