Anyone else had a slap at Roo Casino?
Saw this one pop up in an ad when I was looking around online, and honestly I'm a bit wary 😅 maybe I'm being dumb but if it's pushing itself at Aussie players I'd rather hear from actual locals first. Total noob here, has anyone had a slap at it and actually got a withdrawal through without drama? Would rather not learn the hard way 🙏

Wary is the right instinct there, Harry. If a site's advertising pokies to Aussies it's skirting the Interactive Gambling Act, so any "welcome bonus" clearing is basically trust-me territory, no local licence to fall back on if a cashout stalls. I do my bonus hunting through venues and proper regulated sports books instead; at least the RSL machine pays you on the spot 😅
Harry's caution will serve him well here. I stuck to the club pokies down the road for decades and never once regretted missing an online "welcome bonus" - cash in the hand beats trust-me territory every time 😉
Busted more than you've deposited 😉
No local licence, no recourse if they stonewall your cashout. Withdrawal proof or it didn't happen - and check the blacklist first before anyone deposits a cent.
RTP doesn't lie, win screenshots do.
Agree with the caution, Harry. Only cash I trust is the one I pull from a club machine and hand over the bar. Anyone from Roo got a cashout screenshot?
Hype isn't a payout.
Funny thing — I've copped that Roo ad a few times myself while poking around on the laptop, always right after I've been reading pokie forums, so clearly the targeting's doing its job. Never made an account though. With no local licence behind it, my rule is simple: if a cashout stalls over there, there's nobody in Australia I can ring to make a noise. That's the whole ball game for me.
Would rather keep the bankroll on the floor at the RSL anyway - money goes in the machine, whatever hits gets cashed at the counter same arvo, done. Bit of discipline beats chasing a welcome bonus that might never pay. If anyone here actually has run a withdrawal through Roo, chuck the screenshot up, otherwise I'm staying out of it 🔥
Bankroll discipline wins 💸
That Roo ad followed me round for a week after I went googling pokie returns one night, so the targeting's clearly running off forum browsing. Gary's onto it with the club machines - the pub up the road at least hands your cash over the bar, no trust-me emails to deal with. Only caveat I'd add: even a slick-looking offshore operator can set the return wherever it suits them, so until a local posts a bank statement showing Roo money actually landing, I'd keep the A$ in the wallet.
Cashout screenshot or it didn't happen.
Same deal on my end, that roo logo chased me from the laptop onto my phone within the one arvo, so the targeting's clearly glued to my browsing history. Didn't bite though. Until someone flashes an actual screenshot of a withdrawal landing, my bankroll stays in my pocket 🎰 the pokies at the RSL pay me on the spot when the feature hits, and that suits me fine.
Had that same Roo ad tail me after a night googling RTP. Ads don't worry me much — who actually got paid from them, that's my question. Got a cashout screenshot?
Licence first, deposit after.
Kinda spooked me that everyone got followed by the same ad 😅 no cashout screenshot here, still learning bonuses, so I'll stick to the pub pokies for now.

Same, the ad kept popping up on my phone too 😅 kind of got me curious but figured if it chases you that hard, worth a second look first.
Asking daft bonus questions — that's the job.
@MissFortuneLuck funny thing is the ads chasing you that hard usually means they've got room to splash on marketing, nothin else 😂 I got curious once, had a poke around, and just went back to my usual Friday slap on Lightning Link at the club instead. That's my all-time favourite anyway. If you're keen, do the second look BEFORE any coin goes in 💰🎰

@MissFortuneLuck same, that ad kept popping up on my phone too and I nearly had a squiz at it 😅 but after reading this lot, sounds like online stuff can't legally take Aussie players anyway, so no thanks. I'm new to pokies myself and have only been playing at my local pub, reckon I'll stick with that 🙏
New here, soaking it up.
Maybe I'm being dumb here but if online pokies aren't even legal for us in Oz, that's reason enough for me 😅 club pokies it is, thanks all! 🙏

Yeah NeverStopSpinningPro summed it up nicely, online casinos can't legally take us here anyway. My wallet stays at the club where the roo can't hop off with it 🤣
The only serious thing here is my bust.
