Crown Australia
Crown Perth Casino is the only legal land-based venue in Western Australia since 1985. Alongside the physical resort, the online platform brings the same brand to players who want casino access without the trip.
Licences
Two separate operations, two separate regulatory frameworks.
Land-Based Licence
The physical resort operates under the Gaming and Wagering Commission of Western Australia. The licence runs until 2050, held by Burswood Nominees Limited (ACN 078 250 307). Western Australian law permits exactly one casino in the state - this is it. The regulator sets minimum RTP requirements for electronic gaming machines, with payout information displayed at each machine group on the floor.
Online Licence
The online platform operates under a Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) licence. The MGA requires independent game testing, certified RNGs, KYC verification, and responsible gambling tools built directly into the platform. The online operation runs independently from the Burswood property with no shared regulatory oversight between the two.
Why Crown Australia Stands Above Every Other Option
The Perth resort pulls more than 10 million visits a year - more than any other single entertainment destination in Western Australia. Here's what actually drives it.
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| The Only Integrated Casino Resort in Western Australia | The venue at Burswood is not a standalone casino. It's a full resort - three hotels totalling 1,188 rooms, 33 restaurants and bars, a 2,300-seat theatre, a day spa, conference facilities, and a 24-hour gaming floor. No other venue in WA combines all of this under one address. |
| 24/7 Gaming With No Competition in the State | The gaming floor runs around the clock, every day of the year except three public holidays. Over 200 tables, 2,000 electronic gaming machines, and two dedicated VIP rooms. For anyone in Western Australia, this is the only option at this scale. |
| More Games, More Bonuses Online | Crown Casino online runs 10,000+ titles from 20+ providers, a welcome offer of up to $1,200 AUD across three deposit rounds, weekly cashback up to 25% at the top VIP tier, and a dedicated mobile app for iOS and Android. Regular tournaments run across the platform alongside standard sessions. |

Who This Suits, Land-Based vs Online, and Before You Walk In
Who This Suits and Who It Doesn't
The resort is cash-in, play immediately. The online platform runs on transaction processing times. Different rhythms, different players.
- You want to earn Points on everything - dinner at Nobu, a show at the theatre, a hotel stay, and a session on the floor all count toward the same Crown Rewards balance
- You prefer demo mode before committing real money - test any pokie on the online platform before your first deposit
- You want to book a table, check your Points balance, and buy theatre tickets without leaving the app

Before You Walk In
Check both the Perth Theatre schedule and the Optus Stadium events calendar before you book your trip. A show night and a stadium event on the same day means the car parks fill fast and fine dining reservations disappear. Pick your dates around what's on - not the other way around.
Frequently Asked Questions
Table minimums vary by game and shift upward during peak hours - blackjack and baccarat are the most affected. Rewards members can check current minimums by section on the Gaming Information Terminals located throughout the floor before sitting down. Arriving earlier in the day consistently gives you access to lower entry points across most table games.
The resort is open to the public - no hotel booking required to access the casino floor, restaurants, bars, or theatre. Hotel guests get priority access to the pool and day spa, but every other part of the property is available to walk-in visitors. The Rewards card is free to sign up for on arrival, regardless of whether you're staying on-site.
Deposits are available via POLi, PayID, PayPal, Afterpay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Skrill, Neteller, and major cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Tether. Withdrawals run through PayID, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, and crypto - Afterpay, POLi, and Apple Pay are deposit-only methods. No fees are charged by the platform on either deposits or withdrawals.
The venue at Burswood is the only legally licensed casino in Western Australia - state law permits exactly one, and it has held that licence since 1985. The result is a fully integrated resort combining a 24-hour gaming floor, three hotels, 33 dining venues, and a 2,300-seat theatre under one address.
Withdrawals above $2,000 AUD in a single transaction may trigger a KYC verification request requiring a government-issued ID and proof of address. The verification process takes between 24 and 48 hours to complete. Once verified, withdrawal limits may be increased individually for higher-volume players.
The Crown Casino app is the recommended way to access the online platform on mobile - download it directly from the platform's website for iOS and Android. For players who prefer not to download, the platform also runs through a mobile-optimised browser with the full game catalogue available.
The resort enforces a 12-hour daily gaming limit and a 48-hour weekly limit across the floor. A dedicated PlaySafe Centre operates on the property with trained support staff, self-exclusion programs, and risk assessment tools. These limits apply to all players regardless of Rewards tier or VIP status.
Ticketmaster is the only authorised ticket seller for Crown Theatre Perth. The Box Office opens Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 5:00pm and two hours before any performance. Touring shows and major stand-up acts sell out weeks in advance, so booking ahead is strongly recommended.
Tier status at the resort is reviewed annually on 1 October based on Status Credits accumulated over the previous 12 months. Extended inactivity reduces your credit accumulation and can result in a tier drop at the next review date. The online platform operates a separate VIP structure - activity on one does not affect standing on the other.
Online platform accepts deposits from $10 AUD for most payment methods, with cryptocurrency deposits starting from $20 AUD. The minimum deposit to activate the welcome free spins is $15 AUD. All transactions are processed in Australian dollars regardless of the payment method used.
