Separate the events
List asset purchase, casino deposit, wager result, withdrawal, exchange and later disposal as distinct timestamps.
This page is a decision worksheet built around a specific search task. It separates observable records, first-party wording and unresolved claims so the conclusion can be checked again after a material change.
Record AUD values
Keep the valuation source and AUD amount at each material event alongside native crypto units.
Preserve identifiers
Store wallet addresses, transaction hashes, exchange statements, casino ledgers and fees without exposing private keys.
Classify purpose carefully
Do not assume hobby, business, personal-use or investment treatment; document facts and obtain advice for the actual circumstances.
Reconcile end to end
Tie opening holdings, acquisitions, transfers, winnings or losses, disposals and closing balances.
A casino statement is not a complete crypto tax record
The operator ledger may omit acquisition cost, external wallet movement, exchange rates and later disposals. Retain independent source records and consult a registered professional.
Questions this page resolves
Are Australian gambling winnings always tax-free?
Treatment depends on facts, and crypto transactions can raise separate tax questions.
What value should I record?
Keep native units and a defensible AUD valuation source at each relevant timestamp.
Does transferring between my wallets matter?
It may require ownership and fee records even where the transfer itself is not a disposal.
