General Provisions & Definitions
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you (“Player”, “User”, “you”) and WinShark Casino, operated by GBL Solutions N.V., a company incorporated under the laws of Curaçao, with registered address at Abraham de Veerstraat 9, Willemstad, Curaçao (“the Company”, “we”, “us”). WinShark Casino operates under licence issued by the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB).
These Terms apply to all access and use of the website located at winshark-casino-australia.com and all associated subdomains, mobile versions, and services (collectively, “the Platform”). These Terms should be read alongside our Privacy Policy and any specific promotion terms published on the Platform, all of which are incorporated by reference.
These Terms are effective as of the date of your first account registration or first use of the Platform, whichever is earlier. We reserve the right to amend these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Platform following notification of changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
Eligibility & Account Registration
To register and use WinShark Casino, you must meet all of the following eligibility requirements at all times:
You are at least 18 years of age. WinShark Casino strictly prohibits access by minors. Players who are found to be under the legal age will have their accounts closed and all funds — including winnings — forfeited.
You are acting on your own behalf, not as an agent or representative of another person.
You are not an employee, contractor, officer, director, agent, or affiliate of GBL Solutions N.V., nor an immediate family member thereof.
You have not previously been self-excluded, banned, or had an account closed by WinShark Casino for violation of these Terms.
You are accessing the Platform from a jurisdiction where online gambling is not explicitly prohibited for individual players. It is your sole responsibility to ensure that your use of the Platform complies with the laws and regulations of your country or region of residence.
One Account Per Player: Each player may hold only one registered account. Multiple accounts registered by the same person — whether using different email addresses, names, or payment methods — constitute a material breach of these Terms. All such accounts will be closed and any balances or winnings held therein will be forfeited without recourse.
Registration Information: You must provide complete, accurate, and truthful information during registration, including your legal full name, date of birth, residential address, phone number, and email address. This information must remain current at all times. Any changes must be communicated to our Support team promptly. The Company reserves the right to request updated information or supporting documents at any stage.
You acknowledge that the personal information you submit is used for account management, identity verification, fraud prevention, and regulatory compliance. By registering, you confirm that all information provided is genuine and complete.
Identity Verification (KYC)
WinShark Casino is required to verify the identity of all players before processing withdrawals and may do so at any other time as required for regulatory or fraud-prevention purposes. This process is commonly referred to as Know Your Customer (“KYC”) verification.
We strongly recommend completing KYC verification immediately after registration to avoid delays when you request a withdrawal. Failure to complete KYC verification will result in withdrawal requests being held until verification is successfully completed.
All submitted documents are processed and stored in accordance with our Privacy Policy and applicable data protection regulations. KYC verification is typically completed within 1–2 business days. If documents are incomplete, unclear, or inconsistent with account information, we may request additional information before completing verification.
Account Management & Security
Account Security: You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials (username and password). You must not share your account access with any third party. Any activity conducted through your account — whether authorised by you or not — is your responsibility. If you suspect unauthorised access to your account, you must notify our Support team immediately.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): WinShark Casino supports 2FA for enhanced account security. We strongly encourage all players to activate this feature via their Account Settings.
Currency: The currency selected during registration is permanent and cannot be changed after account creation. Australian players may register with AUD or another available currency. Please select carefully before completing registration.
Dormant Accounts: An account that has not been accessed for 12 consecutive months may be classified as dormant. The Company may apply an administrative maintenance fee of AU$10 per month to dormant accounts, deducted from the available balance, once the balance falls to zero. Players will be notified via the registered email address before any fees are applied.
Account Closure: You may request the closure of your account at any time by contacting Support via live chat or email. Any remaining Real Money balance will be refunded to your registered payment method, subject to identity verification. Bonus Funds not yet converted are forfeited upon account closure. The Company may close or suspend an account at any time in its sole discretion for breach of these Terms, fraud suspicion, or regulatory requirements.
The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to maintain account security, including but not limited to losses resulting from shared credentials or third-party access.
Deposits
WinShark Casino supports a range of deposit methods including credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard), e-wallets (Skrill, Neteller, ecoPayz), prepaid solutions (Neosurf, Paysafecard), bank transfer, and major cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dogecoin, and others). Available payment methods may vary by country and are subject to change without notice.
The Company reserves the right to request verification of payment methods and source of funds at any time. Deposits from payment methods not belonging to the account holder, or from jurisdictions where online gambling is restricted, may be reversed and the associated account suspended pending investigation.
Withdrawals
Players may request withdrawal of Real Money funds at any time, subject to the conditions set out below. Bonus Funds and free spin winnings may only be withdrawn after applicable wagering requirements have been met in full.
Withdrawal Method: Withdrawals must be made to the same payment method used for deposits, up to the deposited amount. Remaining balances may be withdrawn via an alternative approved method. The Company reserves the right to request additional verification before approving withdrawal requests.
Pending Period: WinShark Casino may apply a review period to withdrawal requests before processing. During this period you may cancel the withdrawal and return the funds to your balance for continued play. Once approved, the withdrawal cannot be reversed.
Bonuses & Promotions
WinShark Casino offers a range of promotional offers including welcome bonuses, reload bonuses, free spins, cashback offers, and loyalty rewards. All bonuses are subject to the specific terms of each promotion in addition to the general conditions set out in this section. In the event of any conflict between the specific promotion terms and these general Terms, the specific promotion terms shall prevail.
Standard wagering requirements at WinShark Casino are 45× the bonus amount, unless otherwise specified in the applicable promotion. Wagering requirements must be met within the validity period of the bonus. If the validity period expires before requirements are met, the bonus and any associated winnings will be forfeited.
Not all game types contribute equally to wagering requirements. The standard contribution rates are:
100%
10%
5%
10%
0% — see individual game info
While a bonus is active and wagering requirements have not yet been completed, the maximum bet per spin or hand is AU$8.00 (or currency equivalent). Placing bets above this limit during active bonus play is a breach of these Terms and may result in the bonus and any associated winnings being voided without notice.
Unless otherwise stated in specific promotion terms, bonuses expire 5 days from the date of activation. Free spins must be used within 24 hours of being credited to the account. Expired bonuses and associated winnings are forfeited automatically.
Only one bonus may be active in an account at any time. Players may not claim a new bonus until the existing bonus has either been completed (wagering met) or cancelled. Attempting to circumvent this condition is a violation of these Terms.
If a player claims a free bonus (no deposit required) without making a real money deposit in between, a minimum deposit must be made before withdrawing any winnings generated from consecutive free bonuses. This condition is designed to prevent bonus abuse.
Each free spin has a value of €0.10 (or currency equivalent) unless otherwise stated. Winnings generated from free spins are credited as Bonus Funds and are subject to applicable wagering requirements. Maximum winnings derived from free spin bonuses may be capped — see the specific promotion terms for applicable limits.
The Company reserves the right to withhold, cancel, or claw back bonuses and winnings in any case where there is evidence of systematic bonus exploitation, collusion, use of multiple accounts, use of automated betting strategies, or any other activity deemed to be bonus abuse. The Company’s determination in such matters is final.
Gameplay Rules & Fair Play
All games offered on the WinShark Casino platform use certified Random Number Generator (“RNG”) technology and are regularly audited by independent third-party testing agencies to ensure fair and unpredictable outcomes. The return-to-player (“RTP”) percentage for each game is published within the individual game information panel.
Technical Malfunctions: In the event of a technical fault, server disruption, or software error that affects game integrity or round resolution, the Company reserves the right to void affected bets and return stakes to the players involved. The Company is not liable for any disruption to gameplay resulting from factors beyond its reasonable control, including internet connectivity issues on the player’s side.
Erroneous Odds or Payouts: If a game is made available with an erroneous RTP setting, incorrect paytable, or technical anomaly that produces abnormal payouts, the Company reserves the right to void any bets placed during such a period and/or withhold associated winnings pending investigation.
Disconnections: The Platform uses technology designed to detect player disconnections and preserve game state where possible. However, the Company cannot guarantee uninterrupted connectivity and is not liable for losses caused by disconnection, time-outs, or incomplete transactions resulting from connection failure on the player’s device or network.
Prohibited Activities
The following activities are strictly prohibited on the WinShark Casino platform. Any player found to have engaged in prohibited activity will have their account suspended or permanently closed, and all balances and winnings may be forfeited:

Using the Platform for any unlawful purpose, including money laundering, fraud, or any activity that violates applicable laws
