Our Richard Casino review covers who runs it, what its licence is worth, how it pays Australians and what the 16,000-game lobby holds. Richard Casino launched in 2023, runs a sportsbook beside the casino and is operated by Metlait SRL, the company behind StayCasino and Golden Crown. We haven’t completed a paid withdrawal here yet.

A player who wants one login for pokies, live tables and sport, deposits by card or crypto and is happy to be paid by bank transfer or crypto will find Richard Casino does the job, with weekly withdrawal room of $15,000. A player chasing the “$80 free” offers advertised around the web will be disappointed: the casino’s own terms allow only partner chips and app spins without a deposit, both capped low. And a player who wants Aristocrat, NetEnt or Amatic pokies should look elsewhere, since the first isn’t stocked and the other two are shut to Australian accounts by the terms.
The footer of richardcasino.com, and clause 1.1 of its terms, name Metlait SRL of El Guayaval, Cartago, Costa Rica as the operator, with Tobique Gaming Commission licence No. 0000064. Metlait has been running StayCasino for years on the same licence, and Golden Crown since 2019, so this is an established operator trading under a new name rather than an unknown company. The licence seal in the footer links to the regulator’s validator, which is the quickest way to confirm the number matches.
Being licensed in Tobique, a First Nation territory in Canada, means Richard Casino is not licensed in Australia and cannot be: the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 forbids offering these games to Australians, and the enforcement falls on the operator, not the player. The practical consequence is that your remedy for a dispute is the casino’s complaints process and then EGIS, the dispute body the Tobique regulator recognises, rather than any Australian ombudsman.
From abroad, richardcasino.com forwards you to a numbered domain run by the same company. The footer details are the same on both. Any “Richard Casino” domain whose footer is missing them should be avoided.
Our stopwatch test is running and the time will be published here. Until then, these are the rules from sections 10 and 11 of the terms.
| Rule | Richard Casino |
|---|---|
| Minimum withdrawal | €20 in the terms, shown as $30 for AUD accounts |
| Weekly maximum | $15,000 |
| Monthly maximum | $30,000, with larger balances paid in monthly instalments |
| Profit cap | €50,000 per 24 hours, €100,000 for VIPs; jackpots exempt |
| No deposit winnings | Capped at $75 (T&C 11.7) |
| Processing | Within 72 hours of approval; bank transfers 3 to 5 days |
Across your first five deposits Richard Casino matches 100%, 50%, 75%, 50% and 100%, up to $1,000 each time, and adds 100 free spins per deposit. The minimum qualifying deposit is $30, wagering is 40x on the bonus and on spin winnings, spins must be played within 3 days and the cash within 7, and the bet limit while wagering is $8. Cash bonus winnings are capped at ten times the bonus and spin winnings at $150 per batch.
Sports punters get an extra: a free bet worth 50% of the first deposit, between €20 and €100, usable on odds from 1.01 to 2.00 within 14 days.
Clearing a $100 match takes $4,000 of pokie bets. That is the whole story of the welcome offer.
The table reflects Richard Casino’s Australian payments page as we saw it from abroad.
| Method | Deposit | Withdrawal |
|---|---|---|
| Visa, Mastercard, Maestro | $20 to $4,000, instant | Not offered |
| Apple Pay | $20 to $4,000, instant | Not offered |
| MiFinity | $20 to $4,000, instant | Not listed |
| Jeton | $85 to $1,500 | Not listed |
| Bank transfer | $20 to $4,000, 3 to 5 days | $100 to $4,000, 3 to 5 days |
| Crypto (BTC, ETH, LTC, DOGE, USDT) | From 100 µBTC or 10 mETH, no ceiling | $20 to $4,000, instant |
| PayID, POLi | Not available | Not available |
Withdrawals come down to two options: bank transfer, with a $100 floor and a wait of several days, or crypto, which is instant from $20. Card and Apple Pay depositors should expect to be paid by bank transfer. The FAQ on the homepage mentions e-wallet payouts within an hour and card payouts in one to three days, but neither appeared in the Australian withdrawal list we saw, so don’t count on them.
Credit cards are accepted. Our advice is the same as for every casino here: deposit from a debit card or a bank account, never from credit.
The lobby we counted had 16,037 games from 158 studios: 13,164 pokies, 1,459 live tables and the balance in table games, crash titles and instant wins. The volume comes from KA Gaming, Spinomenal, Pragmatic Play, Fazi, Amusnet, VoltEnt, Red Tiger, BGaming, TaDa, CT Interactive, Hacksaw, Evoplay, Betsoft, Booming Games, Endorphina, Spinoro and Kalamba, with Yggdrasil, Nolimit City, Relax and Thunderkick also present.
Australians lose two studios to the terms: NetEnt games are not available in Australia (T&C 3.3) and Amatic is restricted here (T&C 3.4). Pragmatic Play, with over 600 pokies and nearly 540 live tables, is open, which is a point in Richard Casino’s favour over some competitors. There is nothing from Aristocrat, IGT, Ainsworth, Play’n GO or Microgaming.
For the Aristocrat classics, our free Where’s the Gold, 5 Dragons and Big Red demos are the way to play them.
Evolution (517 tables) and Pragmatic Play Live (537) dominate, joined by smaller studios. Live bets contribute far less to bonus wagering than pokies, so keep them for cash play.
The sports section runs on the same balance, with pre-match and live markets and the OnlyWin free bet for new depositors. We review Richard Casino as a casino; the sportsbook is a convenience, not a reason to choose it over a dedicated bookmaker.
Everything works in a mobile browser. A “Download APP” button on the site provides an Android build that is installed directly, outside Google Play, while iPhone users save the site to their home screen. Installing the app and enabling notifications is the trigger for the Push Your Wins free spins described in the bonus terms.
Live chat is available around the clock from the site, and email reaches [email protected]. During our withdrawal test we’ll time a chat question about payout rules and note how long a person took to answer.
Deposit, loss, wager and session limits can be set from the account or through support, along with cooling-off periods and self-exclusion. As at every casino in this group, deposit limits don’t bind crypto deposits because the casino can’t block an incoming transfer; a limit you set only governs cards, Apple Pay, MiFinity and bank transfers.
Richard Casino is StayCasino with a different coat of paint and a sportsbook attached: the same operator, licence, bonus structure and payment rails, with the same strengths (a huge lobby including Pragmatic Play, clear withdrawal limits, crypto payouts in minutes) and the same gaps (no PayID, no Aristocrat, card deposits paid back by bank transfer). If you already have a StayCasino account there’s little reason to open this one except the welcome pack. If you don’t, it is a reasonable first choice among the operator’s brands. The score waits for our withdrawal to be paid.
Metlait SRL, a Costa Rican company that also operates StayCasino and Golden Crown, under Tobique Gaming Commission licence No. 0000064.
It holds a verifiable offshore licence and Australia isn’t restricted in its terms. There’s no Australian regulator behind it, which is true of every offshore casino.
The terms allow up to 72 hours after approval. Crypto withdrawals are listed as instant and bank transfers take three to five days. Our own timed result is coming.
$15,000 a week and $30,000 a month, plus a €50,000 profit cap per 24 hours. No deposit winnings are capped at $75.
No. Australian deposits are by card, Apple Pay, MiFinity, Jeton, bank transfer or crypto.
Yes, an Android app downloaded from the site rather than Google Play, and a web app for iPhone.
No. The terms exclude NetEnt and Amatic for Australian players. Pragmatic Play, BGaming, Hacksaw and Betsoft are available.
