Small case studies (mini-cases)

bsb007 lists POLi, PayID and crypto options clearly and shows audit details — useful if you’re comparing options.
That reference leads naturally into when to prefer app installs vs browser play, which I’ll explain next.

## Small case studies (mini-cases)

Case 1 — The arvo tester (A$50): Bets A$1 spins on a low-volatility pokie, uses POLi deposit, walks away after +A$30 profit. Lesson: small bankrolls get longer play and lower emotional tilt.
Case 2 — The Friday night blowout (A$1,000): Chooses a mix of Lightning Link and live blackjack, sizes at 1–2% per bet, uses crypto for faster cashout. Lesson: spread risk and pre-plan withdrawals to lock in wins.

These little cases show how choices change outcomes, and the following mini-FAQ answers common quick questions.

Mini-FAQ (for Aussie players)
Q: Are winnings taxed in Australia?
A: No — gambling wins are typically tax-free for private punters, though operators pay local POCT which can affect offers.
Q: Is it legal to use offshore sites from Australia?
A: Playing isn’t criminalised for players, but ACMA can block sites — exercise caution and prioritise audited operators.
Q: Which payments are fastest for deposits?
A: POLi and PayID are instant for deposits; crypto is fastest for withdrawals on many offshore sites.

If you want a practical site to compare features and app instructions, many local guides and operator help pages — including operator pages like bsb007 — have concise overviews and payment tables that are handy for a quick decision.
