Terms and Conditions

These terms and conditions explain how mark-iv.com operates, what you can expect from our content, and the responsibilities that apply to you as a visitor. By using this site, you agree to the terms set out below. If you don't agree with them, please don't continue using mark-iv.com.

Who we are and what this site does

AU Online Casinos is an independent comparison and information site covering online casinos, online pokies, bonuses, payment methods and related topics for players based in Australia. We do not operate a casino, accept wagers, process deposits or hold player funds. Every casino named on this site is a separate, independently operated business, and any account, deposit or wager you make is between you and that operator alone.

The casinos referenced across mark-iv.com, including VegasNow, Wincrown, Casea, Kinbet, Tower Casino, CoinPoker, Winnerisland, Betninja, CrazyTower and Golisimo, are offshore operators. They are not licensed in Australia, and Australian consumer protection law generally does not apply to your dealings with them. We cover them because Australian residents can access them, not because we endorse or guarantee their conduct.

Age and eligibility

This site, and the casinos it covers, are intended for adults aged 18 and over. If you are under 18, you must not use this site or attempt to register with any operator mentioned here. It is your responsibility to check that online gambling is lawful for you personally, given your location, residency status and any relevant local restrictions, before signing up with any operator.

How our content is put together

Our reviews and rankings are based on research into publicly available information: licensing details, published bonus terms, game libraries, payment options and other material an operator makes available. Ratings reflect our editorial assessment against a consistent set of criteria and are not a guarantee of any outcome, payout, or level of service. We update pages periodically, but terms at individual casinos — bonus amounts, wagering requirements, expiry dates, payment methods and cashout limits — change often and without notice. Always check the operator's own terms before you deposit or claim an offer.

Nothing on mark-iv.com should be read as financial, legal or gambling advice. If you're unsure whether an offer, a payment method or a casino suits your circumstances, check directly with the operator or seek independent advice.

Commercial relationships and how we're funded

AU Online Casinos may earn a commission when a reader clicks through to a casino and signs up. This is how independent comparison sites like ours are typically funded, and it does not change the price you pay, the deposit you make, or the terms an operator offers you. Commission does not buy placement — the order casinos appear in reflects our editorial rating, not what an operator pays us. We're not shy about this arrangement; it's just how the site keeps running.

Offers, bonuses and free spins

Headline offers shown on this site, including free spins packages, are supplied by the operators themselves and are correct to the best of our knowledge as at the date each page was checked. They are subject to change, withdrawal or amendment by the operator at any time, and typically carry conditions such as minimum deposits, wagering requirements, maximum cashout limits, eligible games and expiry dates. We present these headline conditions where they are available, but the operator's own terms and conditions always take precedence over anything summarised on mark-iv.com. Claiming any offer is between you and the operator, and we cannot intervene in disputes over bonus terms, account verification or withdrawal decisions.

Your responsibilities as a reader

• Confirm you meet the minimum age and any eligibility requirements before registering with any operator
• Read the operator's own terms, privacy policy and bonus conditions before depositing or wagering
• Keep your account details, identification documents and payment information secure
• Gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and use spending limits or self-exclusion tools where you feel they'd help
• Understand that outcomes at any casino, including on pokies, table games and live dealer titles, are not predictable and cannot be guaranteed by us or by the operator

Limitation of liability

We take reasonable care to keep information on mark-iv.com accurate and current, but we make no warranty that content is complete, error-free or up to date at every moment. To the extent permitted by law, AU Online Casinos accepts no liability for losses arising from your use of this site, your reliance on its content, or your dealings with any third-party casino operator. This includes, without limitation, losses connected to deposits, wagers, bonus terms, withdrawal delays or account verification carried out by an operator.

Links to third-party sites

mark-iv.com contains links to casino operators and other third-party websites. We don't control those sites, and we're not responsible for their content, their terms, their security practices or how they handle your personal information once you leave mark-iv.com. Each operator's own terms, privacy policy and licensing information should be checked directly on their site.

Responsible gambling

If gambling stops being enjoyable or starts affecting your finances, relationships or wellbeing, support is available. Our Responsible Gambling page lists tools and services that can help, including spending limits, self-exclusion options and independent Australian support services. These are worth reading before you register anywhere, not just if a problem has already developed.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms and conditions from time to time to reflect changes in our content, our commercial arrangements, or the wider regulatory environment. The version published on this page at any given time is the one that applies. We'd suggest checking back occasionally, particularly if you're a regular reader.
