Play online →Frequently asked questions
Can I play the same games online?
Yes — roulette, blackjack, baccarat and pokies are the same game families you see on the Southbank floor, available online around the clock.
Is online play age-restricted too?
Yes — 18+, with age verification on the platform, just as the venue checks photo ID at the gaming floor.
Does the house edge differ online?
Every casino game carries a house edge, venue or online — published game rules state the figures per title; treat both as paid entertainment.
Where does the Play online button lead?
To an online gaming platform; its terms, rules and licensing are published on the platform itself.
Where can I find support if online play stops being fun?
Treat online sessions the same way you would a visit to Southbank: decide on a budget before you start and keep play within it. Every page on this site carries an 18+ responsible-gambling notice, because the house holds an edge whether you are at the venue or playing from home. If play stops feeling like entertainment, support is available through Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858. That line sits alongside, not instead of, the online platform's own terms and published rules, which you should always read first.
