G'day, new to the forum - anyone had a slap at Richards Casino yet?

Maccas has a point about cashouts being the real test, has anyone here actually pushed a withdrawal through, even a small one? On a small spin sample the games feel fine anywhere, but KYC and payout behaviour is where the risk sits, and that's the bit I'd want a local to confirm before I hand over A$ of my own.

This thread is exactly what I needed 😅 I only made my first ever deposit a few weeks back and the whole KYC/cashout side still confuses me. If anyone here has actually got a withdrawal out of Richards, even a small one, please say so, I'd rather learn from your experience than test it with my own A$ first 🙏

Haven't touched Richards myself, but the cashout question is exactly what I'd want answered before a dollar goes in. My rule after getting burnt last year: deposit small, clear the wagering on whatever counts fully, then test the withdrawal with a minor amount before I even think about chasing a bonus there. If they pay a small A$50 cheque out without dragging KYC for a fortnight, that tells you more than any promo page. Until a local who's actually signed up chimes in with a real payout story, I'm treating it as hearsay. Plenty of these joints run fine games, same providers you'll find anywhere, the risk sits entirely in whether the cashier behaves when you ask for your money back. If anyone here has pushed even one withdrawal through, post it up, would save a few of us the trial and error 💸

BenEsky's test-cashout method is the same discipline I'd apply, and I'd add one wrinkle: do the KYC paperwork *before* you deposit, not after. If a site drags its feet on verifying ID at that stage, that tells you more than a hundred spins ever will. RTP is long-run, not one session, so the games feeling fine means nothing, the withdrawal queue is the only metric worth chasing here until a local confirms otherwise.

Freo_Dad's point about doing KYC before the first deposit is spot on, wish I'd done that everywhere. Lost a good chunk of a bonus win years back because the site suddenly wanted documents "within 7 days" and then went quiet on me - never saw that money again. 💸 My caveat would be: even pre-verified, don't let a fat balance sit there. I only ever clear the wagering, bank whatever the session gives me and cash out same day if it lets me. That discipline has saved me more times than any hot streak. So Richards, someone local test it with A$50 and report back, keen to hear if the withdrawal actually lands or if it's another offshore mirage. 🎰

KYC before deposit is the only sensible order, I'd go one step further and check what their own T&Cs say about verification windows, since a "7 days" clause was exactly how BonusBuy got stung.

Richards rings no bells for me either, only ever heard secondhand whispers about it. Old habit from my busted-bank days, turned A$50 into a couple of grand once and the real test was whether the site actually paid, so I'd back the KYC-first order Freo_Dad and the lads are pushing. Nobody here's reported a clean cashout yet, which says plenty. Ah well, we grind on 😉

SameKYC-first order here, saved me more than once. Wagering terms on Richards are the thing I'd squiz first too - if the playthrough's 40x and only a handful of pokies count 100%, that bonus is dead money before you spin. Turned a small deposit into a decent hit at another place last year and the cashout math only worked because I'd cleared the terms beforehand. 💸

Cash dep gang here too 😂 bonuses with 40x and stingy weighting are dead money. Richards still unknowns for me but I'm keen to spin their pokies if payout checks out 🔥🎰
