What are the key facts about GunsBet?
Who runs GunsBet and what licence does it hold?
GunsBet is owned and operated by Novatrix SRL, a company registered in Costa Rica with registration number 3-102-893958. Its terms and footer name licence no. 0000002 from the Tobique Gaming Commission. Disputes go to arbitration in Costa Rica, with EGIS as the outside dispute service.
Older archived terms named Dama N.V. and a Curaçao licence instead, so older accounts should check which company they signed with.
Tobique is a light-touch regulator, so a refused withdrawal leaves you few options. Our guide on whether you can sue a casino for not paying out explains what that means in practice.
Is GunsBet blocked in Australia?
Yes. ACMA’s list of blocked illegal gambling websites includes gunsbet.com, gunsbet.co, gunsbetplay1.com and gunsbetplay2.com. ACMA named GunsBet among 18 offshore casinos in its 2021 announcement on blocking more illegal gambling websites.
GunsBet’s restricted country list does not include Australia, but that does not make it legal here. The terms also ban using a VPN “to bypass geographic restrictions” and say this “may lead to the confiscation of winnings”, so reaching the site through a VPN puts your balance at risk.
The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 bans operators from offering online casino games to people in Australia. Playing is not an offence for you as a player, but GunsBet is an offshore site that ACMA has specifically acted against. ACMA has blocked more than 1,800 illegal gambling websites. Our guide on whether online gambling is legal in Australia covers what this means for you.
How fast does GunsBet pay out?
GunsBet says it aims to process withdrawals within 72 hours of approval. After that, its payments page lists e-wallets such as Skrill and Neteller as instant, cards as 1 to 3 days and bank transfers as 1 to 3 banking days.
Withdrawals stay pending until verification is complete, so upload your documents before your first request. Our guide on how to make a casino withdrawal explains what to prepare.
What are GunsBet’s withdrawal limits?
GunsBet caps withdrawals at A$3,000 a day, A$7,500 over a rolling 7 days and A$30,000 a month. The minimum withdrawal is A$30, and progressive jackpot wins are paid in full outside these limits.
At these caps, a A$30,000 win takes at least a month to withdraw, and the casino can pay you by a different method than the one you picked. Our guide to online casino withdrawal problems explains the common disputes and how to respond.
Which GunsBet terms can cost you money?
Five clauses in GunsBet’s terms can cost you money:
- Deposit wagering: each deposit must be bet 3 times before you withdraw it. If not, the casino can charge a processing fee or refuse the withdrawal.
- Verification deadline: if the casino cannot reach you within two weeks of a withdrawal request, it locks the account and cancels the withdrawal.
- VPN use: using a VPN to get around geographic restrictions may lead to confiscation of winnings.
- Dormant accounts: after 12 months with no login or play, the casino can take €20 (or the AUD equivalent) a month from your balance.
- Duplicate accounts: accounts sharing a household, IP address or device count as duplicates.
Which payment methods can Australians use at GunsBet?
GunsBet’s payments page lists cards and e-wallets, but no PayID and no crypto methods. The page showed limits in euros, so the cashier in an Australian account may differ.
The casino’s internal currency is the euro, so your bank may charge conversion costs. Our guide on how to avoid casino payment scams explains how to protect yourself.
What is the GunsBet welcome bonus really worth?
GunsBet’s welcome package is spread over three deposits and is worth up to A$2,900 plus 310 free spins. Each part needs a minimum deposit of A$35 and has 40x wagering on the bonus and free spin winnings, to be met within 7 days. We do not publish GunsBet bonus codes.
Other rules: the maximum bet with a bonus is A$7.50, bonus winnings are capped at A$15,000, and table and live games count only 5% towards wagering. Dozens of popular pokies and all jackpot slots are excluded.
With a A$100 deposit and a A$100 bonus, you need to bet A$4,000 before you can withdraw, and you have 7 days to do it. On pokies with 96% RTP, the expected loss is about A$160, leaving around A$40 of your A$200 balance. Treat the bonus as extra playing time, and compare the full terms of other offers on our no deposit bonus page.
What games does GunsBet offer?
GunsBet says it has more than 8,500 games, and its lobby shows studios such as Pragmatic Play, BGaming, Playson, 3 Oaks and Gamzix. The library covers:
- Pokies: video, jackpot, hold and win, and bonus-buy pokies.
- Live casino: roulette and blackjack from Pragmatic Play Live and other studios.
- Crash games: titles such as Chicken Road and Plinko.
Some studios are not available in Australia. GunsBet’s terms say NetEnt games are blocked for Australia and that Amatic games are restricted here. For pokies at sites that are not blocked, see our guide to online pokies in Australia.
What responsible gambling tools does GunsBet have?
GunsBet offers daily, weekly and monthly deposit, loss and wager limits in your account settings. You can also set a cooling-off period of 1 week to 6 months, or self-exclude for 6 months, 9 months or 1 year. Higher limits only apply after the current limit ends.
The external help it links to is GamCare, Gamblers Anonymous and Gambling Therapy, with no Australian services. BetStop does not cover offshore casinos like GunsBet, so if you need a break, set a self-exclusion in your account, confirm it in writing with support and install blocking software. Our guide on how to stop gambling lists the tools that work at offshore sites.
What should you do if you already have a GunsBet account?
If you already hold a GunsBet account, these steps protect your balance:
- Verify your identity: upload ID, proof of address and proof of payment before you ask for a withdrawal.
- Withdraw your balance: request it in amounts within the A$3,000 daily limit.
- Do not take a bonus: an active bonus locks your balance until the 40x wagering is done.
- Answer the casino: reply to calls and emails within two weeks, or the withdrawal can be cancelled.
- Keep records: save screenshots of transactions and chats, and close the account in writing once paid.
