At The Pokies we know how important hassle-free payments are. We tested deposits and withdrawals at pokies102.org across PayID, bank transfer, Visa/Mastercard, cryptocurrencies and popular e-wallets to bring you a single, authoritative guide. Our results show clear differences in processing time, fees and verification requirements — this page explains what to expect, how to speed up transactions, and which method is best for different players.
We ran real transactions and spoke with support to verify limits, fees and processing times. Our testing covered:
| Payment Method | Deposit Min / Max | Withdrawal Min / Max | Processing Time (typical) | Fees | Wagering Impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PayID | From AUD 20 | From AUD 50 | Instant to 10 minutes | No site fee; bank may vary | Deposit x1 before withdrawal |
| Bank Transfer | From AUD 30 | From AUD 50 | 1–5 business days | Possible bank charge | Depends on payment method |
| Visa / Mastercard | From AUD 30 (multiples of 10) | From AUD 100 | Instant deposit; 1–7 business days withdrawal | ~3% may apply by processor | Deposit x3 before withdrawal |
| Cryptocurrency (BTC/ETH/USDT) | From AUD 20 equivalent | From AUD 100 equivalent | Deposit instant on confirmation; withdrawals within 24 hours | Network fees only | No wagering for crypto deposits (variable) |
| E-wallets (Neteller/Skrill) | From AUD 20 | From AUD 50 | Instant deposits; 24–48 hours withdrawals | Usually none from site; provider fees possible | Depends on promotion terms |
We tested PayID deposits and funds cleared in under 5 minutes in most banks. Card deposits were instant. Crypto deposits posted after the required number of blockchain confirmations (we recommend waiting for at least 1–3 confirmations shown on the deposit screen).
In our trials, PayID withdrawals processed fastest (usually within minutes to a few hours once approved). Card and bank transfers took longer due to banking processing and potential manual review.
Overview: PayID is an instant bank transfer system widely supported across Australian banks. We found it offers the best balance of speed, low cost and reliability for local players.
Advantages:
Typical limits and rules: Minimum deposit around AUD 20; minimum withdrawal around AUD 50. Wagering: commonly x1 for PayID deposits before a withdrawal is permitted, but always check the specific bonus terms.
Our results: In multiple tests with different banks, PayID withdrawals were approved within 1–4 hours and funds appeared in our accounts within the same business day. This makes PayID our top recommendation for Australian players who want speed and low fees.
Overview: Standard bank transfers are dependable for larger sums. Processing time depends on the banks involved and any manual review by The Pokies compliance team.
Advantages:
Typical limits and rules: Minimum withdrawal is commonly AUD 50; daily maximum is often capped (we observed limits such as AUD 9,000 per 24 hours in our checks). Processing takes 1–5 business days depending on bank policies.
Our results: Bank transfers required manual verification in two of our larger withdrawal tests (identity docs requested). Once verified, funds arrived within 2–4 business days. Expect a possible bank fee applied by your bank, depending on their policy.
Overview: Card payments are convenient for deposits and sometimes for refunds/withdrawals back to the same card. Cards are typically quick for deposits but slower for payouts due to chargeback and anti-fraud protections.
Advantages:
Typical limits and rules: Minimum deposit often AUD 30 (deposits in multiples of AUD 10 may be required in some flows). Minimum withdrawal often AUD 100; card withdrawals can take 1–7 business days. A fee of approximately 3% may apply for some card transactions, depending on the bank and currency conversion rates.
Our results: Deposits arrived instantly. Withdrawals to cards were slower and occasionally routed to bank accounts by our provider; expect additional checks and typical processing of 3–7 business days for the payout to land in your statement.
Overview: Crypto is available for players who prefer blockchain-based transactions. Crypto deposits and withdrawals offer privacy, low operator fees, and fast settlement once blockchain confirmations complete.
Advantages:
Typical limits and rules: Minimum deposit often around AUD 20 equivalent; minimum withdrawal often AUD 100 equivalent. Withdrawals are processed after confirmation and may be subject to on-chain network fees. Wagering requirements for crypto deposits can differ — some promos exclude crypto deposits from bonus eligibility.
Our results: Crypto deposits posted as soon as the required blockchain confirmations were reached. Withdrawals were processed within hours in normal conditions; high network congestion can add delay and higher network fees.
Overview: E-wallets are a middle ground offering the speed of digital payments with broad acceptance across casinos. They are ideal if you want to move funds quickly between operators and your wallet.
Advantages:
Typical limits and rules: Minimum deposits from AUD 20; withdrawals commonly from AUD 50. Processing typically completes within 24–48 hours once approved. Some promotions may exclude e-wallet deposits from bonus eligibility.
Our results: E-wallet deposits were instant and withdrawals were completed within 24 hours for standard amounts. Larger withdrawals sometimes triggered identity checks that added an extra business day.
The Pokies implements industry-standard security to protect your financial and personal data. We examined their security practices and verified the following:
In our experience, verification requests occurred primarily on larger withdrawals or when payout destinations differed from deposit sources. Upload documents promptly to avoid delays — verified accounts receive priority in processing.
| Method | Site fee | Provider / network fee | Currency conversion |
|---|---|---|---|
| PayID | None from site | Possible bank fee | Usually AUD — no conversion for AUD accounts |
| Bank Transfer | None from site | Possible intermediary bank fees | Depends on your bank |
| Visa / Mastercard | Site may pass ~3% fee | Card issuer fees and currency conversion | Conversion applied by processor if needed |
| Cryptocurrency | None from site | Network miner fees | Conversion to AUD based on market rate at payout |
| E-wallets | Usually none | Provider fees possible | Provider determines conversion |
Note: Always confirm the fee breakdown in your Cashier before confirming a transaction. Small fees charged by banks or networks are common and beyond the operator's control.
Typical limits (we observed these thresholds during our tests):
If you plan to withdraw substantial sums, contact support ahead of time to confirm limits and document requirements to avoid delay.
Problem: Withdrawal stuck pending beyond the usual time.
Solution: Check email for KYC requests, confirm your verification status in account settings, and contact support with the transaction ID. If pending more than the stated maximum, request escalation.
Problem: Deposit not credited instantly.
Solution: Confirm you used the correct PayID or wallet address, wait for the required confirmations (crypto), and contact support with a screenshot of your bank or wallet transfer if it remains uncredited after the typical time window.
Problem: Site asking for documents after deposit.
Solution: This is a routine anti-fraud measure. Prepare a government ID, a bank statement or utility bill for address verification and a photo or card verification if required. Upload securely via your account verification area.
We selected the best method based on speed, cost and convenience for different player types:
The Pokies supports responsible gambling. You can set deposit limits and cooling-off periods in your account settings. During our tests, the limit tools worked immediately and prevented deposits above the set threshold until the limit reset or was removed by support following verification steps.
It depends on the method. PayID and crypto are fastest (minutes to 24 hours). Card and bank transfers typically take 1–7 business days depending on banks and verification. We recommend verifying your account to avoid additional delays.
The Pokies typically does not charge its own fees for deposits or withdrawals, but third-party providers (banks, card issuers, network miners or e-wallets) may apply fees. Card transactions often incur around ~3% depending on your bank and currency conversion rules.
Common documents include a government-issued photo ID (passport or driver’s licence), a proof of address (utility bill or bank statement within 3 months), and, if withdrawing to a card, a copy of the front and back of the card with some digits masked. Provide documents promptly to speed processing.
Yes, but withdrawals often require additional verification if the payout method differs from the deposit method. Using the same method where possible simplifies compliance checks.
Yes. If you accepted a deposit bonus you must meet wagering requirements before withdrawing bonus-related funds. Check the specific bonus terms for wagering multipliers and eligible games.
If you face payment problems, our tests show that providing clear transaction references and screenshots speeds resolution. Keep records of bank or wallet confirmations and respond quickly to any verification requests to keep processing times short.
After extensive testing at pokies102.org, we conclude The Pokies offers a modern, secure payments suite with options to suit casual players and high rollers alike. PayID stands out for Australian players for speed and low cost; crypto is best for low platform fees and quick settlement; cards and bank transfers remain reliable for convenience and high-value transfers. Always verify your account early, understand bonus wagering linked to deposit methods, and choose the method that matches your priorities: speed, fees or limits.
We will keep testing and updating this page as payment options evolve. If you need a walkthrough for a specific payment method or help with a transaction, check your Cashier section on pokies102.org or contact support with your transaction ID and account details for fast assistance.
