Disclaimer — Stay Casino Australia
Before you rely on anything published across this site, it’s worth understanding exactly what Stay Casino Australia is — and, just as importantly, what it isn’t. We are an independent review and information resource covering Stay Casino, an offshore online pokies operator. We are not Stay Casino, we don’t process deposits or withdrawals, and we don’t run the casino’s cashier, KYC checks or bonus terms. This page sets out, in plain language, the boundaries of what we publish, how we’re funded, and what you should and shouldn’t take away from reading our content.
Who We Are and What This Site Does
Stay Casino Australia is an editorially independent affiliate publication. Our team researches, tests and writes about Stay Casino — its pokies library, welcome package, cashier options, KYC process and general reputation — and publishes the results as reviews, guides and comparison pages. We are not owned by, employed by, or contractually directed by Metlait SRL, the company that owns and operates Stay Casino. Nothing on this site should be read as an official statement from the operator, and nothing we publish is legally binding on Stay Casino or on you.
Our role is to organise publicly available information — the operator’s own terms, footer disclosures, payment tables and responsible gambling tools — into something an Australian punter can actually use before signing up. We test what we can (registration flow, cashier limits, support response times), and where we can’t independently verify a figure — such as the exact size of the pokies library, or hour-by-hour withdrawal timing — we say so rather than presenting a guess as settled fact. If a claim on this site strikes you as too good to be true, treat it with the same scepticism we’d want you to bring to any gambling website, including this one.
Everything here is intended for readers based in Australia who are already of legal gambling age and are considering, or already have, an account with an offshore pokies operator. If that doesn’t describe you, some of this content may not be relevant to your situation.
Affiliate Disclosure — How We Earn Money
We’ll be upfront about this rather than burying it in fine print: Stay Casino Australia earns money through affiliate marketing. When you click through to Stay Casino from a link or button on this site and go on to register an account, we may receive a commission from the operator’s affiliate programme. This is standard practice across the online casino review industry and it’s how independent sites like ours stay funded without charging readers directly.
A few things worth knowing about how that arrangement works in practice:
- Commission is paid to us by Stay Casino’s affiliate programme, not by you. Signing up through a link on this site costs you nothing extra — the same account, same bonus terms and same cashier limits apply whether you arrive via our link or by typing the operator’s address directly into your browser.
- Every button on this site that says something like “Sign Up” or “Claim Bonus” routes through our tracked affiliate link. We’re disclosing that plainly here rather than disguising it.
- Commission arrangements do not change the substance of what we write. Our reviewers document the welcome package’s actual wagering requirement (40x), the maximum bet allowed while clearing a bonus (A$8), and the KYC turnaround (up to 30 working days) the same way whether those figures make the operator look good or not — because an affiliate relationship with an operator doesn’t buy editorial silence on its drawbacks.
- We are not a comparison-shopping service covering the whole market on this particular site — our coverage is centred on Stay Casino specifically. Readers who want a wider market comparison should treat that as an acknowledged limitation of a single-brand review resource, not something we’re trying to hide.
If you’d rather not use an affiliate link, you’re free to navigate to Stay Casino directly. Either way, always confirm you’re 18 years or older before creating an account, and only register if you’re comfortable with the terms published on the operator’s own site.
Not Financial, Legal or Professional Advice
Nothing published on Stay Casino Australia constitutes financial, legal, tax or professional advice of any kind. Our content is for general information and entertainment purposes only. We are not financial advisers, solicitors or accountants, and we don’t know your personal financial position, your household budget, or whether pokies play is an appropriate leisure activity for your particular circumstances.
If you have questions about how gambling winnings or losses might affect your tax position, or whether your spending on pokies fits sensibly within your broader finances, speak to a qualified, licensed professional rather than relying on anything written here. Similarly, if you have questions about your specific legal position as an Australian resident using an offshore gambling site, a solicitor familiar with the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 is a far better source than a review website. We publish our understanding of the general regulatory landscape for context, not as a substitute for individually tailored legal advice.
We’d also add a plainer point: pokies are a form of entertainment that costs money over time, not an income strategy. Any content on this site that discusses bonus structures, cashback percentages or wagering requirements is describing how those mechanics work — it is not a suggestion that playing pokies is a sensible way to build wealth, and pokies aren’t a way to make money. Treat any amount you deposit as the cost of entertainment, not as an investment.
Accuracy of Information on This Site
We make a genuine effort to keep every figure on this site — bonus percentages, minimum deposits, payout limits, KYC timelines, game availability — accurate and current, sourced from Stay Casino’s own published terms wherever possible. That said, operators change their terms, promotions and cashier limits without always notifying affiliate partners in advance, and offshore gambling sites are, in our experience, more prone to unannounced changes than mainstream consumer businesses.
Because of that, we can’t promise that every number on every page reflects the exact terms live on Stay Casino’s site at the moment you’re reading this. Before you deposit, claim a bonus or attempt a withdrawal, always cross-check the current terms directly on Stay Casino’s own platform rather than relying solely on what’s written here. Specific areas where this matters most:
- Bonus terms — wagering requirements, maximum bet limits and expiry windows on promotions can be revised by the operator at any time.
- Payment methods and limits — minimum and maximum deposit or withdrawal amounts, and which payment providers are currently supported for Australian players, are set by Stay Casino and can shift.
- KYC requirements — the specific documents requested during verification can vary case by case and aren’t entirely within our ability to predict.
- Game availability — individual pokies titles are added and occasionally removed from the lobby by the operator and its software providers.
If you spot information on this site that appears to be out of date or inconsistent with what Stay Casino currently publishes, we’d genuinely like to know — see the contact section below.
Age Restriction and Responsible Gambling
This site, and the operator it covers, are intended exclusively for adults aged 18 years or older. If you are under 18, please leave this site now. Age verification is enforced by Stay Casino itself during account registration and again during KYC checks, and we do not have any mechanism to verify a reader’s age ourselves — the responsibility sits with you, and with the operator’s own verification process, not with an information website.
Pokies are designed to be engaging, and for a portion of players, that engagement can tip into a pattern that stops being enjoyable. We’d rather say this plainly than gloss over it: nothing about the content on this site, including our reviews of bonus offers or cashback structures, is intended to encourage anyone to gamble beyond what they can comfortably afford, and nothing here is a promise about outcomes — there’s no sure thing in pokies play, and results are never guaranteed. If gambling stops feeling like entertainment and starts feeling compulsory, that’s worth taking seriously and acting on. Our full breakdown of deposit limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion tools available through the operator sits on our dedicated responsible gambling and self-exclusion guide.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Stay Casino Australia, its editorial team and its publisher accept no liability for any loss, damage or inconvenience arising from your use of this site or your reliance on its content. This includes, without limitation, financial losses incurred while gambling at Stay Casino or any other operator referenced on this site, losses arising from an error, omission or delay in the information we publish, and any indirect or consequential loss connected to your use of this website.
We provide this site and its content on an “as is” basis. We don’t control Stay Casino’s cashier systems, KYC processing times, customer support responsiveness or game outcomes, and we have no ability to intervene in disputes between you and the operator on your behalf. Any decision to register an account, make a deposit, claim a bonus or request a withdrawal at Stay Casino is made entirely at your own discretion and own risk — you’re always wagering real money, and that remains true regardless of anything written on this site. If a dispute arises between you and Stay Casino, your recourse is with the operator directly (via live chat or [email protected]), and, if unresolved, with independent player-advocacy platforms in the wider industry — not with us.
Nothing in this section limits or excludes liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded under Australian consumer law.
Links to Third-Party Websites
This site contains links to third-party websites, including Stay Casino itself, payment providers, licensing authorities and responsible gambling organisations. These links are provided for convenience and disclosure purposes and their inclusion doesn’t imply that we endorse, control or take responsibility for the content, accuracy, privacy practices or availability of any external site.
Once you leave Stay Casino Australia and land on a third-party site, that site’s own terms, conditions and privacy policy apply — ours no longer do. We’d encourage a sensible amount of caution with any gambling-adjacent website, including reading a site’s own terms before depositing funds, and we’re not in a position to guarantee the ongoing accuracy, security or uptime of any external destination we link to.
Copyright and Intellectual Property
All original content on this site — written reviews, guides, comparison tables, charts and page layouts — is the copyright of Stay Casino Australia and may not be reproduced, republished or redistributed without prior written permission, except for brief quotations used with clear attribution back to this site. Requests to reproduce our content should be sent to the contact address below.
Game titles, provider names, screenshots and brand names referenced on this site — including Stay Casino, Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza 1000, The Dog House and other pokies titles, along with software provider names such as Pragmatic Play, Evolution, Play’n GO, NetEnt, Nolimit City, Yggdrasil, Ezugi and Playson — remain the property of their respective owners. We reference them for identification and review purposes under fair use principles, and no affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement by those trademark holders should be inferred from that usage alone, beyond the affiliate relationship with Stay Casino disclosed elsewhere on this page.
Our Position on Australian Access and Legality
Because this is a recurring point of confusion, we want to be direct about it in our own disclaimer rather than leaving it implied elsewhere on the site. Stay Casino is an international online casino accessible to Australian players. It is licensed and regulated under the Government of Anjouan (Licence ALSI-202509073-FI2), held by the operating company Metlait SRL. It does not hold, and has never claimed to hold, an Australian gambling licence of any kind, because no such licence exists for online casino operators — Australia doesn’t licence local online casinos, and real-money pokies are available to Australian residents only through international sites like this one, licensed in other jurisdictions.
Under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, it’s the operator, not the individual player, that carries the compliance obligation. There’s no penalty for Australian players choosing an offshore casino, and there’s no reported case of an Australian resident being fined or prosecuted for holding an account with one. That said, accessing an offshore operator does sit outside the reach of Australian consumer protection frameworks that apply to domestically licensed wagering providers — a distinction we think is worth understanding rather than glossing over. For the full detail on the specific licence, the operating entity and what that licence does and doesn’t cover, see our dedicated licence and regulation breakdown.
We don’t editorialise this section to talk anyone into or out of playing at an offshore operator — that’s a personal decision that depends on your own risk tolerance, budget and jurisdictional comfort. Our job is to make sure the facts behind that decision are stated accurately rather than dressed up.
Changes to This Disclaimer
Editorial practices shift, affiliate arrangements get renegotiated, and the regulatory conversation around offshore gambling coverage in Australia doesn’t stand still — any of those can prompt a revision here. The signal that something’s changed is the “Updated” date at the top of the page; we don’t operate a notification list for disclaimer edits, so a regular reader’s best bet is glancing at that date occasionally, especially before leaning on anything in the affiliate disclosure or liability sections above.
Sticking around on this site after we’ve revised this disclaimer counts as accepting the new version. Anyone who’d rather not is free to stop reading — there’s no other opt-out mechanism to speak of.
Contact Us
Spotted something inaccurate on this site, want to ask about our relationship with Stay Casino, or have a question about this disclaimer specifically? Reach our editorial team through the contact page. What we can’t do from here is touch anything tied to your actual account — deposits, withdrawals, KYC uploads and bonus disputes all belong to Stay Casino’s own support desk (live chat or [email protected]), never to us. Curious how our research process actually works? That’s laid out on the about us page, and how we handle any data collected on this site itself is covered separately in our privacy policy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Stay Casino Australia the same company as Stay Casino?
No. We are an independent affiliate review site covering Stay Casino, operated by Metlait SRL. We don’t process payments, run the cashier or set bonus terms — that’s entirely the operator’s responsibility, governed by its own terms and conditions.
Do I pay more by signing up through a link on this site?
No. Using our affiliate link costs you nothing extra. Commission is paid to us separately by Stay Casino’s affiliate programme and doesn’t come out of your deposit, bonus or winnings.
Can I trust the figures published on this site?
We source everything from the operator’s own published terms and verify what we reasonably can, but offshore operators change terms without always notifying affiliates. Always confirm current bonus, payment and KYC terms directly on Stay Casino’s own site before depositing.
Is playing at Stay Casino legal for someone in Australia?
Australian gambling law places the compliance burden on the operator, not the player, and there’s no penalty for an Australian resident choosing to play at an offshore casino such as this one. Stay Casino does not hold, and has never claimed, an Australian licence — the “Our Position on Australian Access and Legality” section above covers the full detail.
What should I do if I have a dispute with Stay Casino?
Contact the operator directly via live chat or [email protected] first, since only Stay Casino can action account, deposit or withdrawal issues. We can’t intervene in individual account disputes on your behalf.
Who verifies my age and identity when I register?
Stay Casino itself, not this site. Registration requires you to confirm you’re 18 or older, and identity, date of birth and address are checked during KYC before a first withdrawal is released.
About Our Editorial Team
Every page on this site, this disclaimer included, gets kept current by people actually checking Stay Casino’s live disclosures rather than copying whatever an aggregator listed last year. We don’t have sign-off authority over the operator’s cashier, its KYC queue or its bonus engine, and this page exists in part to keep that boundary obvious rather than let the site quietly sound more official than it is.
For our full assessment of the casino — pokies library, welcome package, cashier speed and overall verdict — head back to our complete Stay Casino Australia review. Should pokies stop feeling like entertainment at any point, Gambling Help Online runs a free, confidential counselling line around the clock on 1800 858 858. Worth flagging early: BetStop only reaches licensed Australian wagering providers, so an offshore brand like Stay Casino sits outside its self-exclusion register entirely — Gamban and BetBlocker are the device-level alternatives built to actually cover international sites. And if what you’re feeling goes beyond gambling specifically, Lifeline takes calls on 13 11 14, any hour. Confirming you’re 18 or older isn’t optional before any of this, either.
