Terms and Conditions – Online Casinos

This page sets out the terms and conditions that govern your use of thorstarter.org (referred to below as "this site", "we" or "us"). By browsing or using any part of this site, you agree to these terms. Please read them carefully before relying on any content here to make decisions about online gambling or casino play.

We review, rank and compare online casino operators available to Australian players. We are an independent comparison and review publisher — we are not a casino, we do not accept bets or wagers, and we do not hold a gambling licence. All casino operators featured on this site are offshore operators, and it is your responsibility to confirm that using a given service is lawful where you reside.

Who We Are and What This Site Does

thorstarter.org is an independent online casino comparison platform serving readers in Australia. Our editorial team researches and reviews offshore casino operators — examining their licences, bonus structures, game libraries, payment methods, withdrawal processes and mobile compatibility — to help Australian adults make more informed choices.

We publish editorial ratings, ranking lists and written assessments. These represent our independent editorial opinions based on research and publicly available information at the time of review. They are not endorsements, guarantees of quality, or recommendations to gamble.

Our casino rankings and payout comparisons are updated regularly, but conditions at individual operators can change without notice. Always verify the current terms directly with the operator before depositing.

Eligibility and Who May Use This Site

This site is intended solely for adults aged 18 years or older. Australian law sets 18 as the minimum age for gambling participation, and we take that standard seriously. If you are under 18, you must not use this site or act on any information it contains.

You must be at least 18 years of age to use this site.
You are responsible for ensuring that online gambling is lawful in your jurisdiction before registering with any operator we feature.
The casino operators listed on this site are offshore operators. Eligibility rules, accepted currencies and available services vary by operator and may change.
Nothing on this site constitutes legal or financial advice. If you are unsure whether a particular service is available or lawful where you are, seek independent advice.

For information on staying in control of your gambling activity, please visit our responsible gambling guidance.

Affiliate Relationships and Commercial Disclosure

thorstarter.org earns revenue through affiliate partnerships with casino operators. If you click through to a casino from this site and subsequently register an account or make a deposit, we may receive a commission from the operator. This is how independent comparison publishing is funded.

Our commercial relationships do not determine editorial rankings or ratings. Operators cannot purchase a higher position, a better score or a more favourable write-up. Our rankings are based on editorial assessment criteria — including licence standing, payout performance, bonus fairness, payment options and player experience — applied consistently across all operators we review.

Where a casino appears in a ranked list, its position reflects our editorial judgement at the time of publication, not the size of any commercial arrangement. We will always disclose when content is commercially supported, and we will always note meaningful drawbacks alongside any recommendation.

Bonus offers and promotional terms shown on this site are taken from information available at the time of research. They are subject to change by the operator at any time. Always read the full terms and conditions on the operator's own site — including wagering requirements, minimum deposits, maximum cashout limits and expiry periods — before claiming any bonus.

Accuracy of Information

We make reasonable efforts to keep the information on this site accurate and up to date. However, the online casino industry moves quickly. Bonus offers, game libraries, payment methods, withdrawal limits, licence details and operator terms can all change between our review date and the moment you read this page.

Bonus figures and offers — displayed as supplied by the operator at the time of research. Verify current offers directly with the casino before signing up.
Licence and regulatory status — we research and publish licence details as part of our review process, but licence status can change. Check the operator's site and the relevant licensing authority's public register for current status.
Game counts and payment methods — these figures can change as operators add or remove content and payment options.
Editorial ratings — these are our independent assessments, not customer review scores or tested results from verified deposits or withdrawals.

We accept no liability for decisions made on the basis of information on this site that has since changed. If you spot an inaccuracy, please contact us and we will investigate promptly.

No Gambling Services Provided

thorstarter.org does not operate gambling services of any kind. We do not:

Accept deposits or wagers
Process withdrawals or payments on behalf of any casino operator
Hold player funds
Guarantee winnings, payouts or the outcome of any gambling activity
Facilitate account registration on behalf of any operator

Any account you open with a casino operator listed on this site is a direct relationship between you and that operator. We are not a party to that relationship, and we have no ability to intervene in disputes between you and an operator. If you have a complaint about a casino, you should raise it directly with the operator, and if unresolved, with the relevant licensing authority.

Third-Party Links and Operator Sites

This site contains links to third-party casino operator websites. Once you leave thorstarter.org, you are subject to the terms, conditions and privacy policies of the site you visit.

Privacy

When you use this site, we may collect standard browsing data including page views, referring sources and device type, through analytics tools. We do not collect personal information unless you voluntarily submit it — for example, through a contact form. We do not sell personal data to third parties.

Affiliate links to casino operators may involve the operator placing cookies on your device to track referrals. These are governed by the operator's own privacy and cookie policies, not ours. We recommend reviewing those policies before clicking through to any operator site.

Changes to These Terms

We reserve the right to update these terms and conditions at any time. Changes take effect as soon as they are published on this page. We will update the page date shown at the top of this site whenever material changes are made. Continued use of this site after changes are published constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
