## Mini-FAQ (Australian focus)
Q: Are gambling winnings taxed in Australia?
A: No — for players results are generally tax-free; operators pay state-level POCT which affects operator economics. This informs promo generosity.
Q: What payments should I prioritise for Aussie players?
A: POLi, PayID and BPAY top the list for convenience; offer Neosurf and crypto for privacy seekers. Each one should be tracked separately in analytics.
Q: How do I keep my VIPs happy in Australia?
A: Prioritise fast withdrawals, state-aware VIP perks around Melbourne Cup or AFL finals, and an assigned account rep for high-value punters.
Q: What responsible gaming steps are must-haves?
A: 18+ checks, BetStop signposting, deposit/session limits, and links to Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858). Include these in onboarding.

## About the Author
I’m a product analyst and former ops lead for online casino rollouts focused on the ANZ market, with hands-on experience running A/B tests, payment integrations and responsible-gaming flows for Aussie punters. I’ve built RFM pipelines, designed state-aware promos and worked on mobile optimisation for Telstra/Optus networks. Happy to share templates and sample SQL for RFM segmentation if you want them.
Disclaimer: 18+ only. Gambling can be addictive — if you or someone you know needs help, visit BetStop or call Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858. Also remember the Interactive Gambling Act limits some services in Australia; operators need to ensure compliance and players should check local rules.
If you want a short, actionable spreadsheet to run the RFM and cohort experiments above, tell me which data you currently capture (deposits, sessions, payments) and I’ll draft one tailored for Australia — and I can show how a local-friendly site like playcroco displays A$ amounts and POLi options as examples you can mirror.
