Universal Minimum Age and Online Gambling Restrictions

Across every state and territory in Australia, the statutory minimum age to enter a casino gaming floor or participate in legal gambling is 18 years. Venues enforce this requirement at entry points, requiring government-issued photo identification upon request.

Under the Commonwealth Interactive Gambling Act 2001, online casino gambling is prohibited within Australia. The properties indexed on the map and ranking are physical, brick-and-mortar hotel-casino complexes. This website provides geography, transport, and lodging information only and does not host or facilitate any online gambling operations.
