Payment availability does not determine whether a gambling service is permitted to operate in Australia. Always verify the legal status of a service separately.
Understanding Online Payments
Different online services may support different payment methods. Before transferring money, review the recipient, transaction amount, processing rules and security information.
What Is PayID?
PayID is a payment-address system used within Australia's banking environment. It can link supported identifiers to eligible bank accounts.
✓ Verify the recipient.
✓ Confirm the amount.
✓ Check your bank's payment screen.
✓ Keep transaction records where appropriate.
Bank Transfers
