Next, a crisp Mini-FAQ to answer common follow-ups.
## Mini-FAQ (for Australian players)
Q: Is RTP guaranteed for my session?
A: No — RTP is long-run theoretical; short-term variance dominates.
Q: Are winnings taxed in Australia?
A: Typically no for recreational players — gambling winnings are generally not taxed in Australia, but operators pay POCT in states which can affect offers.
Q: How fast are withdrawals with PayID/crypto?
A: PayID bank transfers can clear in hours; crypto withdrawals can be minutes if the casino supports them and your exchange is quick.
Q: What if my KYC is rejected?
A: Rescan with better light, full document edges, and upload in the format requested; contact support and keep screenshots.
Q: Who to call if gambling’s getting rough?
A: Gambling Help Online: 1800 858 858 and BetStop for self-exclusion options.

Note: If you want a tailored calculator (e.g., enter your deposit, WR and bet size for exact spins needed and expected theoretical loss in A$), tell me your numbers and I’ll run the math and show a small table you can screenshot for future arvos. Also, if you want, I can add a side-by-side comparison of three live-dealer strategies for Aussie players during big events like the Melbourne Cup.
