Create Account-Send Games-Spend Credit
Launching in 2009, Gamepool aims to provide Australian gamers with a great online game store.
Our comitment to customer service, huge range, great prices and most importantly our transparent trade system is how we will achieve this.
Our customer service staff are gamers themselves and are more than happy to help with enquiries and give advice. If we do not have a game advertised on our store, this does not mean we dont have it at all, or dont have access to it through our suppliers. Simply email our staff through the 'contact us' page and they will do their very best to track it down for you.
Pricing Policy
Our aim is to make Gamepool pricing as competitive as possible within the Gaming industry. Our pricing is therefore carefully monitored by our staff to provide our customers with the latest, competitive prices, across the widest range of stock. All of our prices are in Australian dollars (AUD$) and include GST (Goods and Services Tax). Pricing may also change frequently depending upon, for example, supplier offers and stock levels If you find a cheaper advertised price somewhere else, email us with the details of the supplier together with prices of the product required and we will endeavour to provide you with a more competitive price.
