Terms of Use — Stay Casino Australia (Website)
These Terms of Use govern your access to and browsing of this website — Stay Casino Australia — the independent review and information resource you’re reading right now. They are a different document from the Terms & Conditions that apply once you register an account with the online casino we cover, and it’s worth being clear on that distinction from the outset. What follows here is not about deposits, bonuses, wagering requirements or your gambling account. It’s about the contract that quietly exists between you and this website every time you load a page, click a link, or copy a paragraph into an email to a mate. If you’re looking for account-level rules — welcome offers, KYC, withdrawal limits — those live on our casino terms and conditions summary instead. If you’re here for the website’s own rulebook, read on.
Use of This Website
Stay Casino Australia is an independent, editorially run information and review resource covering an offshore online pokies operator. We are not the casino, we don’t hold player funds, and we don’t operate a cashier, a login system or an account of any kind for our readers. What we do operate is a publishing site: articles, reviews, comparison tables, charts and guides written for Australian punters who want a clear-eyed look at a specific brand before they decide whether to sign up anywhere. Everything you’re browsing — this page included — exists to inform, not to process a transaction on your behalf. For the honest headline verdict this whole site builds towards, see our full Stay Casino Australia write-up.
That distinction matters because it shapes what these Terms of Use can and can’t cover. We can set rules about how our content may be used, copied or linked to. We can’t set rules about your casino account, your deposit limits or your winnings, because those sit entirely outside our control and squarely within the operator’s own terms. Where this page mentions the casino at all, it’s only to explain how our website links to it — not to restate or replace the operator’s own conditions.
Acceptance of These Terms of Use
By loading, browsing, or otherwise using any page on this website, you accept these Terms of Use in full. If a particular clause doesn’t sit right with you, the appropriate response is to stop using the site rather than to use it selectively while disregarding the parts you’d rather ignore — there’s no mechanism here for partial acceptance. We don’t require you to click an “I agree” button before reading a review, but continued use after we publish a change to this page functions the same way a click-through would: it signals agreement to whatever version is currently live.
These Terms of Use sit alongside, and don’t replace, our privacy policy, which explains what happens to any data collected as you browse, and our site disclaimer, which sets out the limits of what our content should be taken to mean. Reading all three together gives you the full picture of how this website operates; reading only one leaves gaps.
Intellectual Property
Everything we’ve produced ourselves — the written reviews, the comparison tables, the bonus-math charts, the page layouts, the way we’ve organised a welcome-offer breakdown into something scannable — is our own original work and remains our property. That includes the specific wording of our articles, the structure of our guides, our own screenshots and graphics, and the site design you’re looking at. None of it is public domain, and none of it is licensed to you for republication simply because it’s freely readable. You’re welcome to read it, bookmark it, and link to it; you’re not entitled to lift it wholesale and republish it as your own, on another site, in a newsletter, or anywhere else, without asking us first.
Short quotations are a different matter — a sentence or two, clearly attributed back to this site with a working link, falls within ordinary fair use and doesn’t need our sign-off. Reproducing an entire article, an entire comparison table, or the substance of a bonus breakdown we’ve spent time verifying is not the same thing, and that’s the line we’d ask you to respect. If you’d like to reproduce something at length — for a competitor comparison, a research piece, or any other purpose — reach out to our editorial team first (see the contact section below), and we’ll usually say yes for legitimate, attributed use.
Separately, none of the brand names, game titles, software provider names or logos referenced across this site belong to us. Stay Casino, along with pokies titles such as Gates of Olympus, Sweet Bonanza 1000 and The Dog House, and providers including Pragmatic Play, Evolution, Play’n GO, NetEnt, Nolimit City, Yggdrasil, Ezugi and Playson, remain the property of their respective owners. We reference them because a review that avoids naming its subject isn’t much of a review — for identification and commentary purposes only, under the same fair-use logic that lets a film critic name the film. Using those names on this page implies nothing about ownership on our part, and nothing beyond the disclosed affiliate relationship should be read into it.
Acceptable Use of This Website
Most people who land here are doing exactly what the site is built for — reading a review, comparing a couple of payment methods, checking whether a bonus figure is accurate before depositing. That’s the intended use, and there’s nothing to agree to beyond simply browsing normally. The rules below exist for the smaller set of uses that fall outside that, and we’d rather state them plainly than leave them implied.
What You’re Free to Do
- Browse, read and reference any page on this site for your own personal, non-commercial research into an offshore pokies operator.
- Link to any page on this site from your own website, forum post or social account, using a plain, accurate link.
- Quote a short, clearly attributed excerpt with a link back to the original page.
- Share a link to a page here with a friend, in a group chat, or on social media.
What’s Not Permitted
- Scraping, harvesting or mass-downloading our content, tables or charts using automated tools, bots or crawlers outside standard, well-behaved search engine indexing.
- Republishing, mirroring or framing our pages — or substantial portions of our written content — on another domain without our prior written permission.
- Reverse-engineering, decompiling or otherwise attempting to extract the underlying code, structure or data behind this site beyond what’s visible in an ordinary browser.
- Attempting to gain unauthorised access to any part of this site’s infrastructure, or interfering with its normal operation through any technical means, including denial-of-service attempts.
- Uploading or transmitting malicious code, viruses or anything designed to disrupt this site or its visitors.
- Misrepresenting your relationship to this site — for example, presenting yourself as an official Stay Casino Australia representative, or implying an affiliation with us that doesn’t exist.
- Using this site, or any content taken from it, to build a rival aggregator page that passes off our research and verification work as your own.
Where we identify use that breaches these rules, we reserve the right to restrict access, request removal of republished material, and pursue whatever remedy is reasonably available to us under applicable law. In practice, most issues we’ve encountered get resolved with a straightforward request rather than escalation, and we’d expect the same to hold here.
Affiliate Disclosure
This website is funded through affiliate marketing, and we’d rather say that clearly here than leave it to a footer link. When you click a sign-up button or a tracked link on this site and go on to register an account with Stay Casino, we may earn a commission from the operator’s affiliate programme. That arrangement doesn’t cost you anything extra — the account, bonus terms and cashier limits you get are the same whether you arrive through our link or type the operator’s address in directly.
That funding model doesn’t come with an unspoken agreement to go easy on the operator. Wagering requirements, the maximum bet cap while a bonus is active, how long KYC actually takes — we describe those the same way whether or not they flatter Stay Casino, since what an affiliate arrangement actually covers is hosting and the hours spent verifying figures, not a favourable word count. For the longer version of how this funding model works and what it does and doesn’t shape editorially, our disclaimer page goes further than this Terms of Use page needs to.
Sign Up & Claim BonusAccuracy of Content on This Site
We put real effort into keeping the figures on this site — bonus percentages, minimum deposits, payout limits, KYC timeframes — matched to what Stay Casino currently publishes. Even so, using this website means accepting that offshore operators change terms, promotions and cashier limits without always telling affiliate partners in advance, and we can’t promise that every number on every page reflects the exact terms live on the operator’s platform at the precise moment you’re reading it.
Before you deposit, claim an offer or request a withdrawal, cross-check the current terms directly on Stay Casino’s own site rather than treating anything published here as the final word. This applies most to bonus wagering conditions, payment method availability, and KYC document requirements, all of which the operator can revise unilaterally. If you spot something here that’s clearly out of step with what the casino currently publishes, we’d genuinely like to know about it (details in the contact section below) so we can correct it.
Links to Other Websites
This site links to a number of external destinations — Stay Casino itself, payment providers named in our banking guides, the Anjouan licensing authority, and independent responsible-gambling organisations among them. We include these links for convenience, disclosure and reference, and including a link doesn’t amount to us vouching for everything that site does, says or how it handles your data once you’re there.
The moment you click through from this site to any of those destinations, these Terms of Use stop applying and the destination’s own terms and privacy practices take over. We’d encourage the same caution you’d bring to any gambling-adjacent website — reading its terms before you deposit, checking its licensing claims independently — and we’re not in a position to guarantee the ongoing accuracy, uptime or security of a site we don’t control.
Disclaimer of Warranties
This website, and everything published on it, is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. We don’t warrant that the site will be available without interruption, that it will be free of errors, or that every figure, table or comparison will remain accurate indefinitely without our attention. Content is prepared with genuine care, but a review site is not a guarantee, and treating it as one would be a mistake we’d rather warn you against than let you discover the hard way.
Nothing on this site should be read as a promise about how your own experience with Stay Casino, or with any other operator we mention, will unfold. There’s no sure thing in how a bonus offer, a withdrawal request or a support interaction plays out on any given day, and nothing published here changes that. To the extent permitted by law, we exclude all warranties not expressly stated on this page, without limiting any consumer guarantee that can’t lawfully be excluded under Australian Consumer Law.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we exclude liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of this website — including reliance on its content, technical interruptions to the site, or errors and omissions in what we publish. This extends to indirect or consequential loss connected to browsing this site, but it does not extend to your gambling activity itself: any financial outcome from playing at Stay Casino, or at any other operator, is a matter between you and that operator, governed by its own terms, not by anything written on this website.
We don’t control Stay Casino’s cashier, KYC processing, customer support or game outcomes, and this website has no ability to intervene in an account dispute on your behalf. If something goes wrong with a deposit, a bonus or a withdrawal, your recourse sits with the operator directly, not with us. Nothing in this section limits or excludes liability that cannot be lawfully limited or excluded, including any non-excludable guarantees under Australian Consumer Law.
Age Restriction — 18+ Access Only
This website is intended exclusively for readers aged 18 years or older. By using this site, you’re confirming you meet that minimum age, and if you don’t, the only appropriate action is to leave now. We have no technical mechanism to verify a visitor’s age on this website itself — that responsibility sits with you, and, separately, with the operator’s own age-verification process during account registration and KYC checks should you go on to sign up anywhere. Treat that as two independent checkpoints, not one shared safety net.
Changes to These Terms of Use
Expect this page to move periodically — new content-licensing wording, a shift in how affiliate publishing is regulated in Australia, or simply tidying up language that’s gone stale all count as reasons we’d touch it. Whenever that happens, the “Updated” date at the top ticks forward; we don’t run a mailing list for legal-page updates, so there’s no notification chasing you down. Planning to quote or reproduce something we’ve published? Check the live version first rather than working from a version you read months ago.
Continuing to browse this website after a revision goes live is treated the same way accepting the previous version was: simply by carrying on.
Governing Law
These Terms of Use are governed by, and should be read in accordance with, the laws applicable in Australia, reflecting the audience this site is written for. That choice governs how these Terms of Use themselves are interpreted — it says nothing about, and doesn’t extend to, the licensing status of any casino we cover, which is addressed separately and honestly on our about us page. Nothing in this clause limits any mandatory protection available to you under the law of the place where you actually access this site, where such protection can’t lawfully be excluded.
Contact Us
A broken link, a figure that looks off, or a request to reproduce something we’ve written — all of that goes through the contact page, where it lands with our editorial team directly. As with every other legal page on this site, we’ll repeat the boundary because it matters: a stuck deposit, a pending withdrawal, a KYC document sitting in review — none of that is something we can action, since it belongs entirely to Stay Casino’s own support channels. Our privacy policy covers what we do with data collected on this website, and our site disclaimer sets out the wider limits on what our content is meant to be taken as.
Responsible Gambling
Reading a review site doesn’t carry the same weight as opening a casino account, but since this site exists to help people make that decision, we’d rather close on this than skip it. Everything covered here concerns adults aged 18 and over, and online pokies are a form of entertainment rather than a way to make money — you’re always wagering real funds once you play, and nothing published on this website changes that. The moment gambling stops reading as entertainment, Gambling Help Online takes calls around the clock on 1800 858 858, free and confidential either way. A quick clarification on BetStop: its self-exclusion register is built for licensed Australian wagering providers, which means it simply doesn’t reach an offshore-licensed operator like the one this site reviews — Gamban and BetBlocker are the tools actually built to block international gambling sites at device level. For anything that feels like a crisis, Lifeline is on 13 11 14. For the account-level limits, cooling-off periods and self-exclusion tools the operator itself offers, our responsible gambling guide walks through them in full.
