What Country Club Casino Actually Is
The name trips people up quite a bit. “Country Club Casino” sounds like one place, but in reality you are dealing with two separate setups that just happen to share a similar name.
First, there is Country Club Tasmania Casino - a physical casino tucked inside a resort complex near Launceston. It is a long-running venue, licensed under Tasmanian rules, with a proper resort around it: restaurants, two hotels, golf course, the works. The second is an online brand at country-club-casino.com that targets Australian players with digital casino games. As far as public information shows, there is no confirmed ownership or corporate link between the two.
So if you are flying into Launceston or driving out from the CBD, you are dealing with the Tasmanian resort. If you have typed a URL and landed on a gambling site with pokies and live tables, that is the online brand. Keeping that split clear from the start helps a lot.
Country Club Tasmania - The Physical Venue
The resort sits at Country Club Avenue, Prospect Vale, TAS 7250, roughly a 10-minute drive from Launceston’s CBD. The casino floor is spread over two levels, while the rest of the complex holds four restaurants, four bars, and two hotels that together offer 177 rooms.
Here is how the gaming hours are laid out:
| Gaming Product | Sun-Thu Hours | Fri-Sat Hours |
|---|---|---|
| Table Gaming | 5:00 PM - 1:00 AM | 5:00 PM - 3:00 AM |
| Electronic Gaming Machines | 9:00 AM - 2:00 AM | 9:00 AM - 4:00 AM |
| TASkeno | From 9:00 AM | From 9:00 AM |
| TAB Betting | From 12:00 PM | From 12:00 PM |
If you end up booked into the villas section, note that it is not right on top of the main complex. It is around 800 metres away, and a courtesy shuttle runs between the villas and the central building. Handy late at night when you do not feel like walking back.
The property also doubles as a base for Targa Tasmania, a motorsport rally that uses the resort as a starting point. So the casino sits inside what is essentially a regional hub for events, not just a standalone gambling space.
To get in touch with the venue itself, you can use:

You must be at least 18 to check into the hotel. Access to the gaming floor follows Australian age rules as well as the venue’s own entry policy.
Visiting in Person - How To Approach It
Sorting out a trip to the resort is not complicated, but planning just a little bit ahead makes the whole thing smoother.
The first thing to do is open the official website before you lock in transport. Opening hours can move around event days or public holidays, and you really do not want to base your plan on old information.
Next, if you want to sleep on-site, do not leave accommodation to the last minute. Those 177 rooms, spread across two hotels, do fill up around events or busy weekends. A room might look easy to get at quieter times, then suddenly is not.
When it comes to getting there, aim for Country Club Avenue in Prospect Vale. If your booking is in the villas rather than the main hotel, that shuttle service bridges the distance and saves you the walk.
Entry to the casino floor is not casual - you will need valid photo ID. Bring it with you rather than assuming you can talk your way around it, as door staff will still ask.
Once you are inside, the timing of your arrival decides what is available. Table games only fire up from 5:00 PM onward. Electronic gaming machines and TASkeno start from 9:00 AM, and TAB betting is from midday, so earlier in the day you are looking at those instead of tables.
Between play sessions you can step off the floor. There are four restaurants and four bars across the complex, so grabbing a meal or just taking a break is not a problem.
And if you get turned around or you are not sure where something is, just use the front desk. Staff can show you the right direction or organise the shuttle if you need to move between areas.
The Online Platform - What To Know First
The online brand at country-club-casino.com promotes pokies, table games, and live dealer rooms. It also advertises a welcome package for new players: up to $4,500 plus 350 free spins plus one “bonus crab”, with no promo code mentioned at the time this text was written.
Before you go anywhere near deposits, though, the legal side deserves a careful look.
Australian law treats interactive gambling differently from land-based venues. Real-money online casino services that offer products like pokies, roulette, blackjack or baccarat to people living in Australia are not allowed unless the operator holds an appropriate Australian licence. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) maintains a public register that lists both licensed operators and brands they have investigated or blocked. Checking that list before sending any money is probably the single best move you can make.
On the country-club-casino.com site, there is no clearly visible licensing or regulatory badge in the general content. That missing piece is not cosmetic, it is highly relevant if you are an Australian resident thinking of playing there.
