Adelaide has one licensed casino. It sits inside the heritage-listed Adelaide railway station on North Terrace, trading as SkyCity Adelaide, and it is the only venue in South Australia permitted to run banked table games and unrestricted-stake gaming machines. That is the answer to the question this page is built around, and most of what follows is the context that makes it the right one — the licence that grants it, the games it covers, the age gate at the door, the hotels a short walk away, and the separate, much larger set of offshore casino sites the Australian Communications and Media Authority has warned or blocked because the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 prohibits offering online casino games to anyone in Australia.

Data current as of 23 September 2026, checked against the ACMA’s register of formal warnings and blocking requests, the South Australian Casino Act 1997 and the ACT Casino Control Act 2006.

The Prohibited Online Sites Named by the ACMA

A reader asking about “casinos in Adelaide” today will land first on offshore comparison pages that list brands the ACMA has itself warned. Eleven of them have been the subject of formal warnings in recent years, and the table in “The Prohibited Online Sites Named by the ACMA” sets each one against the operator the regulator named and the month it acted. None of them holds an Australian licence for online casino games, because no Australian jurisdiction issues one. Listing them here is not a recommendation: it is the shape of the offshore market an Adelaide resident meets when they search for casino options, set against the regulator’s own record.

The landscape: brands, operators and ACMA dates

The table is the comparison that brings a reader to this page, and it reads the same way down the column of operators: a small set of Curaçao-registered holding companies, a Maltese-registered operator (Casino Intense), one Romanian entity (Consolutetish S.R.L.) and a few single-purpose vehicles. The ACMA’s formal warning is the only Australian regulatory action these names have attracted for offering online casino games to people physically in Australia, and once the warning is public the ACMA’s next step is asking Australian ISPs to block the site at the DNS level.

What the table cannot carry is what matters to a player: every one of these sites runs on an offshore licence and outside the Australian consumer-protection regime. A withdrawal that stalls, a bonus that voids winnings, an account that closes with a balance inside — none of these disputes have an Australian body to take them to. A site blocked with funds still sitting in it is not a theoretical risk; it is the most common way Australians lose money to offshore operators, because the IGA targets the provider, not the player, and the provider’s assets are typically not in Australia to be recovered.

RocketPlay

RocketPlay was warned in March 2026 over its .com.au-facing service, with Pulsup Ltd named as the operator; an earlier May 2022 warning over the same brand had named Dama N.V. The site presents itself as licensed in Curaçao, which is not an Australian licence and does not put it within reach of the ACMA’s consumer-protection powers. For a reader who arrived at RocketPlay through an Adelaide-flavoured comparison page, the picture is that the regulator has acted against this operator twice in four years. The brand keeps appearing under new corporate shells each time.

Level Up Casino

The May 2022 warning covered Level Up alongside five other Dama N.V. brands. Dama N.V. is one of the most-warned operators in the ACMA’s register, named across Rocketplay, Wild Tornado, Cobra Casino, Dazard, Bambet and Level Up in that single 2022 round, then again over Woo Casino and Spirit Casino in 2025. The repetition is the point: an offshore operator the ACMA warns can change its front-of-house brand without changing the company behind it, and the warning record follows the company, not the marketing.

Woo Casino

Woo Casino drew its formal warning in March 2025, again naming Dama N.V. The same Dama N.V. portfolio had already been warned in 2022 — so by March 2025 the regulator’s record against this single operator ran across at least eight brands and over two and a half years. A reader comparing Woo Casino to a smaller, single-brand operator is comparing two different things; Woo sits inside a serial-warned group.

Spirit Casino

Spirit Casino’s warning came in May 2025, again with Dama N.V. named. The pattern is the same one Woo sits inside — same parent company, same regulator, same prohibition. Where Spirit differs from the older brands is that it is newer to the market, and the warning landed before the brand had built the kind of Australian-facing footprint its siblings had.

National Casino

National Casino was named in a July 2025 warning that also covered Bizzo Casino, with Consolutetish S.R.L. as the operator. Wikipedia and the ABC’s reporting on Australian online gambling both carry the brand as a current example of an offshore site accessible from Australia, and BetStop’s published register of attempted-registration attempts lists National Casino among the domains Australians tried to enrol at. The signal from those listings is the direction of demand, not the safety of supply.

Bizzo Casino

Bizzo Casino was warned in July 2025 with National Casino, but the brand itself had been warned earlier — to TechSolutions (CY) Group Limited and TechSolutions Group N.V. in 2022. Two operators, the same brand, two warnings: the brand kept trading through a corporate change. For a reader, that is a clearer sign of risk than any single warning, because it shows the operator rotating the wrapper around a continuing service.

Ignition Casino

Ignition Casino sits under a different operator again — Bamboo Media — warned in July 2025. Ignition has a longer offshore history than most of the other names here, and the brand is one of the better-known examples of an offshore casino still accepting Australian-facing traffic despite years of regulator attention. The 2025 warning is the ACMA’s latest public move against it; readers who remember earlier waves will recognise the name.

Instant Casino

Instant Casino was warned in February 2025, with EOD Code SRL named as the operator. EOD Code has not featured elsewhere in the ACMA’s public warnings, and Instant Casino presents as a relatively new entrant into the offshore market accessible from Australia. The warning landed early in the brand’s Australian-facing life, before it had time to build a settled customer base.

Jackbit

Jackbit was warned in April 2026 alongside CasinOK, with Ryker B.V. named as the operator. Jackbit presents as a crypto-first casino, which puts it inside the same payment prohibition the ACMA enforces through the Interactive Gambling Act: licensed Australian wagering has not accepted credit or crypto as a deposit route since 11 June 2024, and an offshore site asking for either is operating outside the Australian framework from the first deposit.

Casino Intense

Casino Intense drew its formal warning in April 2025, with Sterplay Holding Ltd named as the operator. Casino Intense is a smaller brand than most of the others in this set, and the listings that name it on Australian-facing comparison pages are the kind of secondary sources that pick up an offshore brand without verifying its standing. The ACMA’s 2025 warning is the primary-source record; the listings are echoes of it.

Sky Crown

Sky Crown sits at the older end of the warning register, with a September 2022 warning naming Hollycorn N.V. Hollycorn has been the subject of multiple ACMA actions, including one over Blue Leo Casino at the same time, and the operator’s continued presence on affiliate pages accessible from Australia is part of why the regulator moved to ISP-level blocking for some of its portfolio. A reader comparing Sky Crown to a brand warned within the last twelve months is comparing a long-running case to a fresh one.

What “Best Casino” Means Under Australian Law

The phrase “best casino in Adelaide” carries a constraint most comparison pages do not state: the answer must be a venue that holds an Australian licence, because the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 makes it an offence to offer online casino games, online pokies or in-play betting to a person in Australia, and no state or territory licenses online casino products. That removes the offshore list above from the running as a “best” option and leaves Adelaide Casino as the only eligible answer inside the city limits.

For an Adelaide resident who wants to play, the choice is between the licensed venue and going without. That is the choice the rest of this page describes: what the licensed venue offers, what it costs to enter, what it has on the floor, and where to stay nearby if a night is in the plan. A reader who arrived at this page looking for an online “best casino” has arrived looking for a product Australia does not license, and the regulator’s record is the evidence for why it does not.

Licensed Venue Comparison

Adelaide Casino is the sole licensed casino in South Australia, granted under the Casino Act 1997 and currently held by SkyCity Adelaide Pty Ltd. The licence was extended in October 2013 to run to 30 June 2035, and it allows the casino to expand to as many as 200 gaming tables and 1,500 gaming machines subject to redevelopment. The premises sit in the Adelaide railway station building on North Terrace, between the Adelaide Oval river crossing and the riverbank precinct. The minimum age to enter is 18, and identification is checked at the door.

How prohibition works in practice: ACMA enforcement and blocking

The ACMA’s enforcement under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 runs on three escalating steps: investigation, formal warning, and a request to Australian internet service providers to block the offending site at the DNS level. The blocking step is the only one that produces a public number — a running total of how many sites have been blocked since the first request.

According to the ACMA as reported in June 2026, a total of 1,751 illegal gambling and affiliate marketing websites had been blocked since the first blocking request in November 2019, and more than 230 unlicensed gambling services had left the Australian market since enforcement was strengthened in 2017. In the round reported on 26 June 2026 the ACMA asked Australian ISPs to block 12 more illegal gambling websites: 7Signs, ChromaBet, Donbet, Duospin, Freshbet, Slots Gem, Jacks Club, Lucky Start, Pointsbetz, Spinrise, Vinyl Casino and Wildsino.

The blocking-rate calculation here is the page’s overview of the prohibition. From November 2019 to June 2026 is roughly 79 months, and 1,751 sites blocked across that period gives a rate of between roughly 22 and 23 sites blocked per month — a band, not a single figure, because the ACMA’s blocking rounds vary in size from a single site to a dozen or more. The condition on the band is that it includes both direct gambling sites and affiliate marketing pages, which the ACMA blocks together because affiliate sites are the route most Australians first meet the offshore brands through.

A reader who wants to act on this band should treat it as a measure of how often new domains replace blocked ones, not as a forecast of how many will be blocked in any single month. The regulator’s monthly rate is the average of rounds that have run as small as one site and as large as the June 2026 round of twelve, and the rate is rising slowly as the ACMA’s tools have expanded.

What the offshore market costs Australia

The economic case for prohibition is the size of the leak. H2 Gambling Capital’s 2025 report estimated that Australians lose about A$3.9 billion a year to illegal gambling sites, and that the share of gambling going through legal channels fell from 74% in 2021 to 64%. The legal share is falling because the illegal one is growing; the prohibition holds the supply side off-shore, but it cannot hold Australian demand off the sites.

That is the read of the numbers the page already carries: the ACMA blocked roughly 22 sites a month between 2019 and 2026, and A$3.9 billion a year still leaks past the blocks. A reader who treats the prohibition as airtight is reading it wrong; the prohibition works on the supply side, and the demand side is the reader’s own choice.

The Northern Territory exception

A small clarification worth its own paragraph: the Northern Territory Racing and Wagering Commission (NTRWC) regulates 52 of Australia’s online bookmakers, including Sportsbet, Bet365 and Ladbrokes, which are licensed in the Territory for tax reasons. These are wagering services, not online casinos — racing and sport, not banked table games. The NTRWC’s remit is real but narrow, and the commission has no full-time staff and meets once a month in Darwin, which is part of why the 2026 reform conversation has been about whether the NT regulator is the right body to hold that role.

Player Wellbeing and the Self-Exclusion Gap

Australian consumer protection for gamblers runs through two registers: BetStop, the National Self-Exclusion Register, which covers Australian-licensed online and telephone wagering services, and the in-venue self-exclusion process run by each state’s gambling authority. The two registers do not overlap, and an Adelaide resident who wants to self-exclude from a venue-based casino must use the South Australian process, not BetStop.

BetStop and what it does not cover

BetStop went live on 21 August 2023 and binds every Australian-licensed online and phone wagering service — meaning a person who registers with BetStop is refused new account openings and is logged out of existing ones across the licensed wagering market. What BetStop does not bind is in-venue gambling, and an offshore casino is not connected to it at all. A person registering with BetStop to manage an offshore gambling problem is registering with the wrong register; the offshore site has no obligation to honour a BetStop exclusion, and the ACMA’s enforcement actions against those sites do not require it to.

The ACT self-exclusion process

The ACT Gambling Support Service runs a free, 24/7 Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858, offering telephone, online and face-to-face gambling and financial counselling, funded by the ACT Gambling Harm Prevention and Mitigation Fund. ACT residents wanting to self-exclude from Casino Canberra must use the ACT Gambling Harm Prevention team’s own self-exclusion process, available for periods of 6 months to 3 years. South Australia’s equivalent is run through the state’s Consumer and Business Services (CBS) and the Office of the Problem Gambling, with venue-level self-exclusion available at Adelaide Casino’s cashier and a state register for multi-venue exclusions.

National Gambling Helpline

The National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858 is the single national entry point: free, 24/7, with chat at Gambling Help Online. It is funded under federal-state agreements and operates across every jurisdiction, including South Australia. For a reader who has been spending time on any of the offshore sites listed above and wants to stop, the helpline is the right first call, because BetStop does not reach the offshore market and the venue-level registers do not reach it either.

Adelaide Casino: The Licensed Venue

Adelaide Casino is the licensed venue the rest of this page is built around. It opened on 12 December 1985 under South Australia’s state-owned Lotteries Commission, was sold to SkyCity Entertainment Group in June 2000, was renamed SkyCity Adelaide in April 2001, then reverted to the Adelaide Casino name in 2009. The heritage building is the original Adelaide railway station, and the Riverbank precinct redevelopment of 2015–2021 — worth about A$330 million — added the EOS by SkyCity tower, which opened in 2021 with 120 hotel rooms and expanded gaming space.

What is on the floor

Adelaide Casino runs 90 gaming tables and 950 gaming machines under its current licence, with the right to expand to 200 tables and 1,500 machines as redevelopment progresses. The floor covers the banked table games — blackjack, roulette, baccarat, craps and casino poker — and the slot-machine floor in the same building. Outside the casino, South Australia had 11,672 gaming machines in 471 venues in September 2023, and South Australian gaming-machine losses outside Adelaide Casino totalled about A$0.92 billion in 2022–23, equivalent to about A$497 per adult. The casino’s own gaming-machine losses are reported as part of its licence conditions but not separately aggregated in public data at the same scale.

The minimum gaming-machine return-to-player rate in South Australia is 87.5%, and the general maximum bet outside the casino is A$5.00; Adelaide Casino itself has no maximum-bet limit, which is the structural reason a high-stakes player chooses a casino over a pub or club.

Regulation, taxes and licence

Adelaide Casino is regulated by South Australia’s Independent Gambling Authority and the state’s Liquor and Gambling Commissioner. In the 2007-08 financial year the casino paid more than A$41 million in taxes and charges to the state, and the licence term runs to 30 June 2035. The licence is the only casino licence in South Australia, and the regulator’s authority over the venue includes machine numbers, table numbers, opening hours and the responsible-gaming obligations the casino must meet.

Hotels within walking distance

EOS by SkyCity is the on-site hotel, with 120 rooms in the tower added to the casino in 2021. Other walking-distance options along North Terrace include the Adelaide Hilton (roughly 300 metres east), the InterContinental Adelaide (roughly 500 metres south), and a cluster of smaller hotels along Hindley and Rundle Streets within a 10-minute walk. For a reader planning a single-night visit, EOS by SkyCity removes the need to leave the building; for a longer stay, the North Terrace cluster covers most price points and is close to the riverbank restaurants that opened with the precinct redevelopment.

Where to eat and drink

The rooftop bar at Adelaide Casino — the one the comparison pages tend to highlight under “casino rooftop bar Adelaide” — sits on top of the EOS by SkyCity tower and is the venue’s most-photographed feature. Other bars and restaurants inside the complex run from a casual sports bar on the gaming floor to a fine-dining option on the upper levels. The riverbank restaurants adjacent to the precinct (the ones that opened with the 2015–2021 redevelopment) are a separate operator set but walk straight into the casino without crossing a road.

The Games on the Floor

Adelaide Casino’s table game catalogue covers the banked games that the sites detailed in “The Prohibited Online Sites Named by the ACMA” cannot legally offer to Australians. A reader comparing Adelaide Casino to an offshore site on “games offered” is comparing a licensed catalogue to a prohibited one.

Blackjack

Blackjack is the standard seven-seat banked game, with the standard rules: dealer stands on all 17s, double down on any two cards, split up to three hands. Adelaide Casino runs multiple stakes levels, with minimums at the main floor from A$10 to A$25 depending on the table and a high-roller room above that. The expected house edge under standard rules is roughly 0.5% with basic strategy; players who deviate from basic strategy give the house more, which is the standard reading of any blackjack floor.

Roulette

Roulette runs both American double-zero and European single-zero wheels, with minimums starting around A$5 on the main floor. The single-zero wheel has a house edge of 2.7%; the double-zero wheel has a house edge of 5.26%. The two-wheel choice is itself a value comparison — a player who can choose the single-zero wheel and does is taking a different bet than a player who does not.

Baccarat

Baccarat runs the standard punto banco format, with banker, player and tie bets. The banker bet carries a house edge of about 1.06%, the player bet about 1.24%, and the tie bet about 14.4%. Baccarat is the highest-stakes table-game floor on average in Australian casinos, including Adelaide, and the table minimums reflect that — main-floor minimums start around A$25, with the high-roller rooms above that.

Craps

Craps runs the standard pass-line, don’t-pass and odds bets, with a house edge of about 1.4% on the pass line and 0% on the odds bet behind it. The Adelaide Casino craps floor is smaller than the blackjack or roulette floors, but it is present, and the dice crew is on the table most evenings.

Pokies and slots

Adelaide Casino runs 950 gaming machines across the floor, with stakes from a few cents up to the casino’s A$5-plus maximum (the casino itself has no statutory maximum-bet cap, in contrast to pubs and clubs where A$5 is the statutory ceiling). The minimum return-to-player rate of 87.5% is a South Australian statutory floor, not an Adelaide Casino specific — and Adelaide Casino’s machines tend to be at or above that floor. Online pokies are a separate product: they are prohibited under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 and not available from any Australian-licensed site, which is what makes the offshore list at the top of this page the only route an Australian has to them.

The Practical Visit

A reader who has decided to go to Adelaide Casino rather than an offshore site still needs the practical layer: getting in, paying, eating and leaving.

Entry

The minimum age is 18; identification is checked at the door. The casino is open most days from late morning, with a 24-hour licence for the gaming floors and shorter hours for the bars and restaurants. Dress standards have softened since the casino’s reopening under SkyCity — smart casual is the practical floor — but the rooftop bar and the higher-end restaurants have their own standards.

Getting there

The casino sits on North Terrace, in the Adelaide railway station building, with the Adelaide Railway Station literally next door. From Adelaide Airport the casino is a 15-minute taxi or a direct tram (the tram stops at the Adelaide Railway Station, which is the casino’s address). Parking is available on-site and in the nearby Wilson and Secure parking structures, with validation for some rates at the casino cashier.

Money

The casino runs cash and eftpos on the floor; credit cards are accepted at the cashier for cash advances, though Australian banks’ policies on gambling-related cash advances vary and a reader expecting to use a credit card at the table should check before they go. Cryptocurrency is not accepted on the floor; the prohibition on credit cards and crypto as a deposit route for licensed online wagering (since 11 June 2024) does not apply to a venue-based casino, but the venue does not run a crypto cashier.

Leaving

A reader who has set a limit before they arrived is the reader who leaves on it; a reader who has not will leave when the floor closes or the wallet runs out, whichever comes first. The South Australian self-exclusion register, applied through CBS, is the formal route for a player who wants the casino to enforce a stop. BetStop does not cover the venue.

The Broader Australian Casino Landscape

Adelaide’s licensed casino sits inside a national network of licensed venues that the offshore market exists outside. A reader comparing Adelaide to other Australian cities is comparing it to four other licensed casinos.

The Star Brisbane

The Star Brisbane at Queen’s Wharf began a staged opening at the A$3.6 billion Queen’s Wharf Brisbane precinct on 29 August 2024, with the main casino floor and premium gaming rooms opening first. The Queen’s Wharf project was developed jointly by Star Entertainment Group and Hong Kong-based Chow Tai Fook Enterprises. The opening came amid concerns about the licence position of its lead partner, Star Entertainment Group, which had been found unsuitable to hold its Queensland casino licences in late 2022 after an independent review by former Court of Appeal judge Robert Gotterson concluded the operator had misled regulators and failed its anti-money-laundering duties. Star was fined $100 million on 9 December 2022, with a 90-day suspension of the Treasury Brisbane and Star Gold Coast licences deferred to 1 December 2023 to allow remediation.

The Star Brisbane replaced Treasury Casino, which had operated in Brisbane’s historic Treasury Building since April 1995 and closed on 25 August 2024 to make way for the new venue. Treasury had occupied a three-level gaming emporium of 80 gaming tables and over 1,300 gaming machines, plus a hotel, six restaurants, five bars and a nightclub.

Queensland had 21,122 gaming machines operating in 351 venues in October 2023, giving a sense of the venue density that supports the Brisbane market compared with South Australia’s 11,672 machines in 471 venues.

Casino Canberra

Casino Canberra, in the Canberra CBD, was the first legal casino in the ACT, built on land excised from Glebe Park under a 99-year lease; it has no hotel, theatres or retail. Wikipedia describes Casino Canberra as the only casino in Australia not licensed to operate poker machines, with 39 gaming tables for blackjack, roulette, baccarat and other games, a poker lounge and a sports lounge. The ACT had 3,587 gaming machines operating (5,091 approved) in 46 venues on 1 November 2023, with player losses of A$0.19 billion in 2022–23.

Casino Canberra is regulated under the ACT’s Casino Control Act 2006 and Casino Control Regulation 2006, administered by the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission, which also issues casino employee licences (short-term licences valid up to 6 months, full licences valid for 3 years). Aquis Canberra Pty Ltd was issued the ACT casino licence on 23 December 2014 under section 22 of the Casino Control Act 2006, to operate the casino at 21 Binara Street; the licence is now held by Casino Canberra Limited.

What the four licensed casinos have in common

The four licensed Australian casinos — Adelaide Casino, The Star Brisbane, Crown Melbourne and Crown Perth (and Casino Canberra for tables-only) — share three features: they are licensed under a state or territory Casino Act, they are subject to ongoing suitability reviews by an independent regulator, and they are the only venues legally permitted to offer unrestricted-stake gaming in their state. The offshore sites named at the top of this page offer none of these features. A reader weighing “best casino in Adelaide” against the offshore list is comparing a regulated venue to an unregulated one, and the comparison’s outcome is fixed before the first hand is dealt.

Choosing Between the Venue and the Offshore Market

A reader who has read this far is choosing. The choice has three honest shapes.

Staying with the licensed venue

The licensed venue costs the player the time it takes to travel to North Terrace and the entry threshold of an 18+ identification check. In return it offers a regulated floor, a regulated payout, a regulator the player can complain to if something goes wrong, and access to responsible-gambling tools (self-exclusion at the cashier, the state’s register, the National Gambling Helpline). For an Adelaide resident, the venue is the entire legal answer.

Going to an offshore site

The offshore site costs the player the protection of Australian law. There is no Australian regulator to complain to, no Australian consumer-protection regime to enforce a payout, no BetStop coverage, and the ACMA may direct Australian ISPs to block the site while a balance remains in the account. For a player who can absorb those risks and self-manage them, the offshore market offers a wider game catalogue and the convenience of playing from home. The risk is the regulator’s record above: A$3.9 billion a year in losses, 1,751 sites blocked since 2019, and 230 unlicensed services that have already left the market.

Going without

The third option is simply to choose none of them. It is the option most Australians who lose money to offshore sites wish they had taken earlier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the name of the main casino in Adelaide?

The main casino in Adelaide is Adelaide Casino, trading commercially as SkyCity Adelaide. It is the only venue in South Australia licensed to operate banked table games and unrestricted-stake gaming machines under the Casino Act 1997, and it sits inside the heritage-listed Adelaide railway station building on North Terrace. SkyCity Entertainment Group has owned the licence since June 2000.

Where is the casino in Adelaide located?

Adelaide Casino sits on North Terrace, Adelaide, inside the heritage Adelaide railway station building at the riverbank end of the city centre. The Adelaide Railway Station tram stop is at the building’s entrance, and Adelaide Airport is a 15-minute taxi or direct tram ride away. The address places the casino between the Adelaide Oval river crossing and the riverbank precinct that was redeveloped in 2015–2021.

What is the minimum age to enter the casino in Adelaide?

The minimum age to enter Adelaide Casino is 18. Identification is checked at the door, and the South Australian Independent Gambling Authority’s licensing regime treats 18 as the floor for entry to the gaming floors, the bars and the rooftop venue. Under-18s are not permitted on the gaming floor even when accompanied.

Does the casino in Adelaide offer table games such as blackjack and baccarat?

Yes. Adelaide Casino operates 90 gaming tables across the floor under its current licence, with blackjack, roulette, baccarat and craps all available in the main gaming rooms. Table minimums vary by stakes level and time of day, starting from around A$5–A$10 on the main floor for roulette and blackjack and higher for baccarat and craps. A high-roller room sits above the main floor.

Are there hotels within walking distance of the casino in Adelaide?

Yes. EOS by SkyCity is the on-site hotel with 120 rooms in the tower added in 2021, and it sits inside the casino building. Walking-distance alternatives along North Terrace include the Adelaide Hilton, the InterContinental Adelaide, and a cluster of mid-range options along Hindley and Rundle Streets. For a single-night visit, EOS removes the need to leave the building.

Can Australians legally play at an online casino instead of visiting the casino in Adelaide?

No. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001, strengthened by the Interactive Gambling Amendment Act 2017, makes it an offence to provide online casino games, online pokies or in-play betting to a person in Australia, and no state or territory licenses them. The ACMA enforces the prohibition by issuing formal warnings, asking ISPs to block offending sites (1,751 blocked since November 2019) and removing unlicensed services from the Australian market. Individual players are not prosecuted, but an offshore site gives no Australian consumer protection and no Australian complaints body to take a dispute to.
