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 look into it:

• What is PayID?

PayID is a technology implemented within the framework of the NPP (New Payments Platform) - the national payment infrastructure of Australia.

No need to specify bank details
Translations - in real time, 24/7
Used in mobile and online banks
Can be used to replenish a casino account, and sometimes - to withdraw

PayID Player Benefits

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 a banking mobile application
Security	No need to share bank details directly
No hidden fees	Generally no fees within Australia

Important Limitations and Risks

Despite the pros, there are also cons to know about:

• Limited withdrawal support - most casinos allow PayID for deposit only
• It is impossible to cancel the transfer - if they sent it to the wrong place, 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 as 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. Select a PayID-enabled casino

Usually listed on the Checkout or Deposit page
Make sure the casino is licensed and secure

2. Go to Top Up and select PayID

You will be provided with an email or phone number to send money to

3. Open your bank application

NAB, Commonwealth, ANZ, Westpac and other banks support PayID
Select New Payment → By PayID → enter your information

4. Check the recipient and enter the amount

Please check your name and ID carefully before confirming
Some casinos require your ID in the translation comment

5. Confirm payment

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

What about the conclusion?

At the time of writing, most casinos do not support directly outputting to PayID. The conclusion is carried out:

• To your BSB + Account Number bank account
• Through cryptocurrency
• To e-wallets

Some operators ask for a separate support request if you want to use PayID for output as well.

Safety tips

1. Check your PayID details twice - 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 a block
