What happens between signing up and your first game?
By the end you will know what to gather, what to fill in and what the first days bring.
Extreme Casino checks before the first payout
On the evening you open the account, the personal details you type are matched against the photo ID, proof of address and payment card image you send in later. The licence behind Extreme Casino, held under 790702 (Anjouan) by the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority, is what obliges the site to establish who each player is. That check comes at the latest before your first withdrawal, and in many cases it finishes within 68 hours. Anything mistyped, a shortened first name or an old street number, is what turns a routine check into a week of messages.
Check country, currency and email before you confirm
Once registration closes, the country, the currency and the email address are the three settings that are awkward to undo. The account runs in Australian dollars, so the currency you pick should be the one printed on your statement. Registering from an Australian address is part of who may join, and one player holds one account only, which means a second attempt under a different address is the wrong way back in. Pick with care on the day, because support has to unpick a choice made in a hurry.
Before any habit forms, the first days
In the hours after your first deposit, the welcome offer is chosen in the cashier as you top up, so no code is typed anywhere; the deposit itself can start at A$8. Limits on deposits and losses, session reminders, a cooling-off period and self-exclusion are all open from that first day, and the National Gambling Helpline answers free on 1800 858 858 at any hour. Gamblers Anonymous Australia runs peer meetings across the country, and the National Debt Helpline advises on gambling debt on 1800 007 007.
