## Mini-FAQ for Australian players (short answers)
Q: Is it illegal for me to play at offshore online casinos from Australia?
A: The IGA prohibits operators offering interactive casino services to Australians, but playing is not criminalised for the punter; however, you should be aware of risks and avoid evasion tactics.
Q: Which is safer for quick withdrawals: browser or app (Australia)?
A: Browser is safer for testing; if the browser proves fast payouts and transparent KYC, the app can be considered for convenience — always use POLi/PayID if offered.
Q: What local pokies should I look out for online?
A: Aristocrat classics like Queen of the Nile, Big Red and Lightning Link are hugely popular with Aussie punters; also Sweet Bonanza and Wolf Treasure rank well on offshore sites.

A: Gambling Help Online 1800 858 858 and BetStop (betstop.gov.au) — use these if gambling is causing harm.
