PayID in online gambling: convenience or trap?

PayID is a payment system popular in Australia that allows you to instantly transfer money between bank accounts without having to enter a BSB and account number. All you need is a unique identifier: email, phone number or ABN.

In gambling, PayID has gained popularity due to instant deposits and ease of use, but there are also nuances. Let's figure it out:

• What is PayID?

PayID is a technology implemented as part of the NPP (New Payments Platform) - Australia's national payment infrastructure.

No need to provide bank details
Translations - real time, 24/7
Used in mobile and online banking
Can be used to top up your casino account, and sometimes to withdraw

PayID Benefits for Players

Advantage	Description
Instant transfers	Money goes to the account in seconds
Simple ID	Phone number or email is your payment ID
Convenience through applications	Works directly through the banking mobile application
Security	Don't share bank details directly
No hidden fees	Generally no fees within Australia

Important limitations and risks

Despite the pros, there are also cons worth knowing about:

• Limited withdrawal support - most casinos only allow PayID for deposit
• It is impossible to cancel the transfer - if sent the wrong way, it is extremely difficult to return
• Fake PayID addresses - sometimes attackers disguise themselves as casinos
• PayID payments are not protected by banks in the same way as credit cards

Important: PayID works like a P2P transfer. This is an analogue of a transfer from card to card, and not a full-fledged payment gateway.

How to use PayID in a casino: step by step

1. Choose a PayID-enabled casino

Usually indicated on the Checkout or Deposit page
Make sure the casino is licensed and reliable

2. Go to the top-up section and select PayID

You will be given an email or phone number to send money to

3. Open your banking app

NAB, Commonwealth, ANZ, Westpac and other banks support PayID
Select "New Payment" → "By PayID" → enter the received data

4. Check the recipient and enter the amount

Check name and ID carefully before confirming
Some casinos require your ID in the remittance comment

5. Confirm payment

Money comes instantly or within 1-2 minutes
The balance will be updated in the casino automatically, or after confirmation of support

What about the conclusion?

At the time of writing, most casinos do not support direct withdrawal to PayID. Output is carried out:

• To BSB + Account Number
• Through cryptocurrency
• On e-wallets

Some operators ask for a separate support request if you want to use PayID for withdrawal.

Safety tips

1. Double check PayID details - scammers can fake email
2. Save translation confirmation - screen or PDF with transaction
3. Do not send money without registration and authorization on the site
4. Do not use third-party brokers or agents to pay
5. Do not use someone else's PayID or bank - this can cause blocking
