How Payments Work at Wazamba
Every deposit and withdrawal at Wazamba runs in AUD. Here's what to expect from PayID through to crypto, method by method.
Payment Methods, Speeds and Limits at Wazamba
Last updated: September 29, 2026
We built our cashier around how Australians actually bank: PayID and POLi for instant AUD transfers, familiar cards, plus crypto and Neosurf for players who want an alternative. No conversion fees, no foreign currency confusion, everything in AUD from the deposit screen to your balance.
PayID: our fastest deposit option
PayID is the deposit method most of our Australian players reach for first. Link your PayID (phone number or email tied to your bank account) in the cashier, confirm the amount in AUD, and the funds usually land in your Wazamba balance within minutes. There's no card number to type and no waiting on a bank transfer reference to clear. If a PayID deposit hasn't shown up after 30 minutes, check your bank app for a hold before contacting our support team.
POLi: direct from your online banking
POLi lets you pay straight from your bank's online banking portal without saving card details anywhere. You'll be redirected to your bank, log in as usual, approve the payment, and return to Wazamba with the deposit credited, typically within a few minutes. POLi is a solid backup if your bank doesn't yet support PayID, or if you prefer not to store card numbers in any cashier.
Visa and Mastercard
Standard card deposits are processed instantly on approval. Withdrawals back to a card are slower than PayID, usually 1 to 3 business days once our team approves the request, since card refunds route through the card network rather than a direct bank rail. Some Australian card issuers flag gambling transactions for extra verification, so keep an eye on SMS or app prompts from your bank.
Bank transfer
A direct bank transfer works for larger deposits or for players who'd rather not use PayID or POLi. It's the slowest option on the way in, often 1 business day to clear, and slower again on withdrawal. If you're planning a big session or a VIP-level deposit, PayID will almost always get your funds active faster.
Cryptocurrency: Bitcoin and Tether
We accept Bitcoin and Tether for players who prefer crypto rails. Deposits are converted to AUD value on your account at the rate shown at the time of transaction, so your balance and your wagering always display in Australian dollars, not in coin. Network confirmation times vary, generally faster with Tether on supported networks, and withdrawals back to a crypto wallet tend to clear quicker than card refunds once approved.
Neosurf
Neosurf vouchers suit players who'd rather not use a bank-linked method at all. Buy a voucher from a participating outlet, enter the code in the cashier, and the AUD value is credited instantly. Note that Neosurf is a deposit-only method: withdrawals need to go via PayID, POLi, card or crypto instead.
| Method | Deposit speed | Withdrawal speed | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| PayID | Minutes | Minutes to a few hours after approval | Fastest both ways |
| POLi | Minutes | Not available for withdrawal | Deposit only |
| Visa / Mastercard | Instant | 1 to 3 business days | Subject to card issuer checks |
| Bank transfer | Up to 1 business day | 2 to 5 business days | Best for larger amounts |
| Bitcoin / Tether | 10 to 60 minutes | Under 24 hours after approval | Value shown in AUD |
| Neosurf | Instant | Not available for withdrawal | Deposit only |
Verification and account limits
Before your first withdrawal, we'll ask for standard ID verification: a photo ID and, depending on the method, proof of the payment account or wallet you're withdrawing to. This is a one-time step for most players and protects your funds as much as ours. Deposit and withdrawal limits vary by method and by VIP tier, and are shown in the cashier before you confirm any transaction.
Fees and currency
We don't add our own conversion fee on AUD transactions. Your bank or card issuer may apply its own charge for gambling-coded transactions, which is worth checking if you're unsure. Crypto network fees are set by the blockchain, not by us, and are shown before you confirm a crypto withdrawal.

Payment Methods, Speeds and Limits at Wazamba
What's the fastest way to deposit AUD at Wazamba?
PayID. Most deposits land in your balance within minutes, with no card details needed and no conversion since everything runs in AUD.
Can I withdraw using POLi or Neosurf?
No, both are deposit-only. For withdrawals, use PayID, POLi-linked bank account via bank transfer, Visa or Mastercard, or Bitcoin and Tether if you deposited that way.
Why hasn't my withdrawal processed instantly?
Every withdrawal goes through an identity and account check first. Once that's approved, PayID and crypto are usually fastest, while cards and bank transfers take a few business days.
Do I need to verify my identity to withdraw?
Yes, a one-time check with photo ID and confirmation of your payment method is standard before your first payout. It's there to protect your account.
Are there fees on deposits or withdrawals?
We don't charge our own AUD conversion fee. Your bank may apply a gambling transaction fee, and crypto withdrawals carry standard blockchain network fees, both shown before you confirm.
