Golden Star Casino

Golden Star Casino Australia - First Impression

Golden Star does not have an imposing theme as is the practice with quite a few online casinos. The focus is squarely on the games and promotions. However, the text, icons and colours create a sense of the glitz and glamour of Hollywood.

Though Golden Star accepts players from many countries, its Aussie clients get special attention. They can deposit and wager in Australian dollars, using locally prevalent payment options. Australians are also taking up cryptocurrencies and such players can deposit and withdraw in Bitcoins. All the games offered in the land casinos of Australia can be played at Golden Star, including video pokies.

Golden Star was launched in 2012 and in this span of time it has started giving tough competition to much older online casinos. The reason is that its products are backed by high quality management, marketing and support. Not only is Golden Star a licensed online casino, but each of its games suppliers have been independently certified for fair software. Players are encouraged to gamble in a responsible manner using a number of tools described in the Responsible Gambling page.
