PayID and online casinos: what Aussies should know

What is PayID?

PayID links your bank account to an easy identifier such as a phone number or email, so payments move between Australian banks within seconds through the New Payments Platform. That speed is why "PayID pokies" is a popular search.

Do the casinos on this site accept it?

We have not confirmed PayID support at any of the five casinos we list. Payment options differ by country and change often, so open the cashier at the casino you want and see what is offered for Australia. We will list PayID only once we have verified it.

What to check before you pay

• Whether the method appears in the cashier after you register with an Australian address.
• The minimum and maximum deposit, and any fees.
• Whether your bank blocks or flags gambling transfers. Some banks decline payments to offshore gambling merchants.
• How you will withdraw. Many casinos pay out to the same method, or offer another.

Alternatives that are confirmed

Depending on the casino, options include cards, Apple Pay, e-wallets such as Skrill, Neteller and MuchBetter, and crypto at 21bit. See the comparison table for what each lists.

Safety first

Never send money to a person or "agent" who asks for a PayID transfer outside a casino's own cashier. That is a common scam. Read the legal explainer too: sites licensed overseas are not covered by Australian consumer protection.
