Deposits & Withdrawals

Payment Methods: Full Guide for AU Players

Q: What's the fastest payment method at Robocat Casino?

For deposits, PayID, Apple Pay and Google Pay are all effectively instant. For withdrawals, crypto (USDT on TRC-20 is fastest) clears the on-chain portion in 2–5 minutes after our under-90-second approval. PayID settles in under two hours end-to-end. If you want the fastest total cycle from deposit to cashout, USDT is the pick; if you want instant AU-dollar simplicity without crypto, PayID is the pick.

Q: Does Robocat charge any payment fees?

No — we do not charge a fee on any deposit or withdrawal through any supported method. You may still see third-party fees outside our control: your bank may apply a foreign transaction fee on card payments, MiFinity charges around 1% to load its own wallet, and crypto networks charge small fees to process on-chain transactions. These are always shown to you before you confirm, never afterwards.

Q: Why did my Visa or Mastercard deposit fail?

Almost always because your bank blocked the transaction. The major Australian banks (Commonwealth Bank, NAB, ANZ, Westpac) decline transactions with the 7995 "betting and casino gaming" merchant category code by default. You can call your bank and request an exception, but most players find it easier to switch to PayID, Apple Pay, or crypto — none of which carry that merchant code.

Q: Is Neosurf the same as POLi?

No, and an important note: POLi shut down in mid-2022 and is not available anywhere in Australia. If you see a casino still listing POLi as an active option, their payment page is out of date. Neosurf is a prepaid voucher system (you buy physical vouchers at a retail outlet); PayID is the modern Australian replacement for direct bank transfers. Both are fully operational.

Q: Can I withdraw my winnings using Neosurf or Apple Pay?

No. Neosurf, Apple Pay, Google Pay and a few other methods are deposit-only by design. If you deposited with any of these, your withdrawal will route to an alternative method you nominate — typically bank transfer, PayID, MiFinity or crypto. The alternative method has to be in your own name and has to pass our KYC verification.

Q: Is it safe to use crypto at an online casino?

Yes, assuming you use reputable crypto and a licensed operator. The crypto itself (BTC, ETH, USDT, LTC) is secured by blockchain verification — the casino cannot reverse or manipulate a confirmed transaction. What you need to watch for is the exchange you buy crypto from (use established ones like CoinSpot, Swyftx, Independent Reserve) and the wallet you hold it in (hardware wallet or reputable software wallet, not unknown exchanges). Once the crypto is in your wallet, sending it to a licensed casino is safer than sending fiat through cards.

Q: Do I need to verify my identity for payments?

Yes, once you try to withdraw. We verify identity (KYC) when you request your first withdrawal — not at the deposit stage, so you can start playing immediately. KYC verification takes under 24 hours on most accounts and only needs to be done once. After that, withdrawals go through without any further checks unless the amount is unusually large or the pattern looks suspicious.

Q: Which payment method should I actually use?

For most Australian players: PayID for deposits and withdrawals, with crypto (USDT specifically) as a secondary option for very large amounts or when privacy matters. If your bank blocks casino card transactions, Neosurf is the easiest workaround for deposits. Apple Pay and Google Pay are the most convenient on mobile. MiFinity is the right choice if you play at multiple casinos and want an eWallet layer. Avoid card-only setups (Visa/Mastercard without a fallback) because if your bank starts declining, you have no other option.

Every deposit and withdrawal method available at Robocat Casino, with honest detail on speed, fees, limits and what each one is actually good for. Written for Australian players — PayID, Neosurf, crypto and the reality of Australian banks blocking card transactions. Updated when methods change; POLi is not listed because it shut down in 2022.

Australian-focused methods

Three options that are either AU-specific or particularly well-suited to Australian players. These are what most of our AU player base actually uses.

PayID

Bank

Deposit

Instant (< 60s)

Withdrawal

Under 2 hours

Fees

None

Limits

AU$20 – AU$10,000

How it works

PayID is Australia's near-instant bank-to-bank transfer system, launched in 2018 and now integrated into 100+ Australian banks and credit unions. Instead of sharing a BSB and account number, you link a mobile phone number, email address, or ABN to your bank account. At the casino cashier you enter your PayID identifier, confirm the amount in your banking app, and the money moves through the New Payments Platform (NPP) in under a minute — at any hour of the day, seven days a week including public holidays.

Pros

Fastest AU-specific option — settles in under a minute at any time
No fees on either side of the transaction
Works seven days a week, including weekends and holidays
Your bank statement shows the transfer recipient, not the gambling merchant category code that some banks block
Both-way — deposits and withdrawals

Cons

Your bank can still see you transferred to a casino-affiliated PayID — not truly private
Some banks flag high-value transfers for manual review
Requires your bank to be PayID-enabled (most major AU banks are)

Best for

Australian players who want instant transfers in AU dollars without hidden fees. This is our top recommendation for the majority of players.

Neosurf

Prepaid voucherDeposit only

Deposit

Instant

Withdrawal

Not available (deposit-only)

Fees

None

Limits

AU$10 – AU$500 per voucher

How it works

Neosurf is a prepaid voucher system — think gift card for online payments. You buy a voucher at an Australian newsagent, service station, or convenience store for a fixed amount (AU$10, AU$20, AU$50, AU$100, or AU$250), receive a 10-digit PIN, and enter that code at the casino cashier to credit your account. No bank link, no credit card, no registration required to buy the voucher. Deposits land in seconds.

Pros

Maximum privacy — no bank or card details shared with the casino
Hard spending ceiling — you cannot deposit more than the voucher value
Available at thousands of AU retail locations
Instant deposits
Free — no fees on either side

Cons

Deposit only — you cannot withdraw winnings via Neosurf
Need to choose an alternative withdrawal method (bank transfer, crypto) and pass KYC on it
Per-voucher cap of AU$500 — for larger deposits you combine multiple vouchers
You must physically visit a retail location or buy online

Best for

Players who value privacy above all else, or who want a hard cap on how much they can deposit in a single session. Also the right choice if your bank blocks casino card transactions.

Bank Transfer

Bank

Deposit

Instant (NPP) or 1 day (standard)

Withdrawal

1–3 business days

Fees

None

Limits

AU$20 – AU$50,000

How it works

Direct bank transfer via BSB and account number, or faster via the NPP (PayID is the NPP's consumer product). Traditional bank transfers have been displaced by PayID for most day-to-day casino use, but bank transfer remains the right choice for very large transactions where the PayID ceiling is a concern. Withdrawals take 1–3 business days to appear in your account, depending on your bank's clearing schedule.

Pros

Highest deposit ceiling of any method (AU$50,000)
Most reliable fallback if other methods fail
No third party between you and your bank
Both-way transactions

Cons

Slowest withdrawal method — up to 3 business days
Your bank statement shows the transfer in full detail
Some banks still flag large gambling-related transfers for review

Best for

High-roller deposits above PayID limits, or as a fallback when other methods are unavailable. Expect withdrawals to be slower than eWallet or crypto alternatives.

Cards and mobile wallets

Credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. The universal options, with one significant caveat for Australian players: the major AU banks decline a high percentage of card transactions flagged with gambling merchant codes. You may need a fallback.

Visa & Mastercard

Card

Deposit

Instant

Withdrawal

3–5 business days

Fees

Bank-dependent

Limits

AU$20 – AU$10,000

How it works

The standard credit and debit card path. Enter the card number, expiry, and CVV at the cashier; the deposit clears instantly subject to your bank approving the transaction. Withdrawals route back to the same card as a refund, which takes 3–5 business days to show up in your statement. The important catch for Australian players: many major banks (Commonwealth Bank, NAB, ANZ, Westpac) decline transactions flagged with gambling merchant codes, so your deposit may fail even if your balance is healthy.

Pros

Universally accepted at every licensed casino
Familiar process — no new accounts to set up
Credit card purchases may be protected by your card issuer's chargeback scheme
Both-way transactions

Cons

Australian banks frequently decline casino transactions (gambling merchant codes blocked by default)
Withdrawals are slow — up to 5 business days via card refund
Credit cards treat gambling deposits as cash advances at some banks — higher rates, no interest-free period
Least private option — appears in detail on bank statements

Best for

Players whose bank is known to approve casino transactions, or as a one-time fallback if other methods are unavailable. For regular play, most Australians prefer PayID or crypto.

Apple Pay

eWallet / MobileDeposit only

Deposit

Instant

Withdrawal

Not available (deposit-only)

Fees

None

Limits

AU$20 – AU$5,000

How it works

If you have an iPhone, iPad or Mac with Touch ID or Face ID, Apple Pay offers the fastest tap-to-deposit flow at the cashier. Choose Apple Pay at checkout, authenticate with biometrics, and the linked card processes the deposit without you typing anything. Underneath it is still your Visa or Mastercard, but Apple Pay uses a one-time token per transaction rather than exposing your real card number to the casino.

Pros

Fastest checkout on iOS — tap and authenticate, done in seconds
Biometric security layer on every transaction
Real card number never shared with the casino
Same consumer protections as the underlying card

Cons

Deposit only — withdrawals need an alternative method
Still subject to the underlying bank approving gambling transactions
Requires an Apple device and a linked card

Best for

iOS users who want friction-free deposits. Pair with PayID or crypto for withdrawals.

Google Pay

eWallet / MobileDeposit only

Deposit

Instant

Withdrawal

Not available (deposit-only)

Fees

None

Limits

AU$20 – AU$5,000

How it works

The Android equivalent of Apple Pay. Link a card to your Google account, authenticate at checkout with your device's fingerprint or PIN, and the deposit processes instantly. Like Apple Pay, Google Pay tokenises the transaction — the casino never sees your actual card number.

Pros

Fast checkout on Android without entering card details
Device-level authentication required for every transaction
Card number tokenised for privacy
Works cross-device if you have Google Pay on multiple devices

Cons

Deposit only at most casinos
Underlying bank still approves or declines the transaction
Requires an Android device

Best for

Android users who prefer not to enter card details each session. Same pair-with-PayID-or-crypto pattern as Apple Pay.

eWallets

MiFinity is our primary eWallet option. It has largely replaced Skrill and Neteller at Australian-facing casinos thanks to cleaner bonus-eligibility rules and better support for AU dollars.

MiFinity

eWallet / Mobile

Deposit

Instant

Withdrawal

Under 2 hours

Fees

None at Robocat · MiFinity may charge 1%

Limits

AU$20 – AU$15,000

How it works

MiFinity is an international eWallet that has become the preferred alternative to Skrill and Neteller at Australian-facing casinos. You fund the wallet by bank transfer, card or crypto, then fund the casino from the wallet. The casino only sees the MiFinity transaction, not your underlying bank or card. Withdrawals route back into the wallet within hours and can be cashed out to your bank, card or crypto afterwards.

Pros

Works both ways — deposits and withdrawals
Private — bank statement shows MiFinity, not a casino
Fast withdrawals back to the wallet (under 2 hours)
Higher limits than most card methods
Bonus eligibility preserved (some older eWallets exclude bonuses)

Cons

MiFinity may charge a small loading fee (around 1%)
Two-step process — fund the wallet before funding the casino
Less familiar than PayID for most Australian players

Best for

Players who want an eWallet layer between their bank and the casino, especially if they play at multiple sites and want a single source of truth for gambling funds.

Cryptocurrency — BTC, ETH, USDT, LTC

Crypto is the fastest and most private way to move money at a licensed casino, especially for withdrawals. It is also what most Australian players use when their bank starts declining casino transactions.

A few things to understand before you start:

Which crypto to pick

If you are new to crypto casinos, start with USDT on the TRC-20 network. It is a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, so your AU$ balance moves linearly with the USD/AUD rate rather than with crypto market swings. TRC-20 network fees are often under one cent per transaction. Most Australian crypto exchanges (CoinSpot, Swyftx, Independent Reserve) sell USDT in AU dollars.

Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin work too, but their AU$ value fluctuates. If you deposit AU$500 in BTC and the price drops 10% before you withdraw, you will have less AU$ at the end even if you won on the games.

Network choice matters

USDT exists on several blockchains — Tron (TRC-20), Ethereum (ERC-20), Solana, and others. They are not interchangeable. Sending USDT on TRC-20 to an ERC-20 address (or vice versa) means losing the funds permanently. Double-check the network before every transfer. Our cashier displays the network alongside the deposit address.

Confirmations and timing

Crypto deposits credit after a set number of network confirmations — 1 for Bitcoin (10–30 min), 12 for Ethereum (1–3 min), 6 for Litecoin (2–5 min), 10 for USDT (2–5 min). The wait is baked into blockchain security; we cannot make it faster without compromising safety. Withdrawals are different — we approve on our side in under 90 seconds, and then the crypto network does its own thing.

Volatility vs stablecoin

This is the biggest single decision. Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin can move 5–10% in a day, sometimes more. USDT is designed to hold its dollar peg. If you plan to hold a casino balance for weeks or you worry about market moves, use USDT. If you treat deposits and withdrawals as same-day transactions, any of the four works.

Bitcoin (BTC)

Cryptocurrency

Deposit

10–30 min (1 confirmation)

Withdrawal

Under 90 seconds approved, 10–30 min on-chain

Fees

Network fee only

Limits

AU$20 equivalent – AU$100,000 equivalent

How it works

Bitcoin deposits are paid to an address generated by the casino for your account. Send BTC from your wallet, wait for one confirmation on the Bitcoin network (around 10–30 minutes depending on network congestion), and the deposit credits your casino balance in AU dollars at the current exchange rate. Withdrawals are approved on our side in under 90 seconds and broadcast to the Bitcoin network immediately — the time to your wallet depends on network conditions.

Pros

Fastest withdrawal approval on our side (< 90s)
Bank doesn't see the transaction — no gambling flags
Highest practical deposit ceiling
No conversion fees on our side — we convert at the spot rate
Both-way — deposits and withdrawals

Cons

Network fees vary with congestion — typically AU$1–AU$20 per transfer
Value volatile — your AU$ balance at deposit may differ from AU$ paid out
Requires a crypto wallet and some experience sending BTC
Mistyped addresses cannot be recovered

Best for

Players who already hold BTC and want the fastest overall withdrawal cycle. Also the private choice if your bank is hostile to gambling transactions.

Tether (USDT)

Cryptocurrency

Deposit

2–5 min (TRC-20)

Withdrawal

Under 90 seconds approved, 2–5 min on-chain

Fees

Network fee only

Limits

AU$20 equivalent – AU$100,000 equivalent

How it works

USDT (Tether) is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, so deposit and withdrawal amounts are stable in AU terms — no market volatility between the time you deposit and the time you cash out. On the Tron (TRC-20) network, transaction fees are typically under AU$1. Most crypto-aware players in Australia prefer USDT over BTC for exactly this reason.

Pros

Stable value — no volatility risk between deposit and withdrawal
Cheapest network fees (TRC-20 under AU$1, often free)
Fastest crypto confirmations (2–5 minutes)
Both-way transactions
Same privacy benefits as other crypto

Cons

Requires understanding the difference between TRC-20, ERC-20 and other Tether networks — wrong network means lost funds
Stablecoin depends on Tether's reserves (well-audited but not risk-free)
Needs a crypto wallet

Best for

Our most-recommended crypto option. Fast, cheap, stable value. If you're new to crypto casinos, USDT is the right starting point.

Ethereum (ETH)

Cryptocurrency

Deposit

1–3 min (12 confirmations)

Withdrawal

Under 90 seconds approved, 1–3 min on-chain

Fees

Network fee only (variable)

Limits

AU$20 equivalent – AU$100,000 equivalent

How it works

Ethereum deposits work the same way as Bitcoin — send to an address, wait for confirmations, balance credits in AU$ at market rate. ETH confirmations are faster than BTC (1–3 minutes vs 10–30) but the network fee is more variable, ranging from around AU$1 during quiet periods to AU$30+ when the network is congested.

Pros

Faster confirmations than Bitcoin
High deposit ceiling
Both-way, privacy-preserving transactions
Widely supported in crypto wallets

Cons

Network fees spike during high-activity periods
Same volatility concern as Bitcoin — ETH price moves
Requires a crypto wallet

Best for

Players who already hold ETH. If starting fresh, USDT is a better choice for stable value and lower fees.

Litecoin (LTC)

Cryptocurrency

Deposit

2–5 min (6 confirmations)

Withdrawal

Under 90 seconds approved, 2–5 min on-chain

Fees

Network fee only (very low)

Limits

AU$20 equivalent – AU$100,000 equivalent

How it works

Litecoin is often called "silver to Bitcoin's gold" — same underlying technology, faster block times (2.5 minutes vs 10), and consistently low network fees (usually under AU$0.50 regardless of congestion). If you want a traditional crypto experience without Bitcoin's fees or volatility of altcoins, LTC is a solid middle ground.

Pros

Very low, predictable network fees
Fast confirmations (2–5 minutes)
Mature, stable crypto network since 2011
Both-way transactions

Cons

Price volatility (though less than BTC historically)
Less widely held than BTC or USDT — may need to buy specifically
Requires crypto wallet familiarity

Best for

Players who want crypto's speed and privacy but don't need the stablecoin guarantee of USDT.

The truth about fees

We do not charge any fee on any method, in either direction. That is a deliberate policy; many casinos charge 1–3% on card deposits and a flat fee on withdrawals, and we find that opaque and unpleasant.

Third-party fees outside our control can still apply:

Bank fees on card deposits. Some banks treat gambling-related card charges as cash advances, charging higher interest with no grace period. This is a bank policy, not ours.
Foreign transaction fees. Because our payment processor may be based outside Australia, your bank may apply a 1–3% foreign transaction fee on card deposits. PayID avoids this because it is domestic.
MiFinity loading fee. MiFinity charges around 1% to load its wallet. From wallet to casino is free; the fee is on the bank-to-wallet step.
Crypto network fees. The blockchain network (not the casino) charges a small fee per transaction. TRC-20 USDT is cheapest (often under AU$0.10); Ethereum on peak days can cost AU$20+. These fees are shown before you confirm.

Every fee you might encounter is disclosed before you confirm a transaction. We never apply hidden charges after the fact.

KYC verification and payments

We verify identity (KYC) when you request your first withdrawal. Deposits require no verification — you can sign up and start playing immediately. The first cashout triggers a one-time check that usually completes in under 24 hours and only needs to be done once.

Two documents are needed:

Government photo ID — passport, driver licence, or national identity card.
Proof of address, under 90 days old — utility bill, bank statement, or council rates notice showing your name and residential address.

The name and address on these documents must match the payment method you want to withdraw to. This is the biggest withdrawal-delay cause: depositing from one person's card and attempting to withdraw to another is automatically declined under our licence obligations. One person, one account, one set of payment details.

For full detail on how we handle your personal information during KYC, see our Privacy Policy.

How to choose — a simple decision tree

Rather than memorise the comparison table, answer four questions and you will land on a sensible pick.

1. Is your bank blocking casino card transactions?

The major Australian banks decline a large percentage of these by default. If your Visa or Mastercard has been rejected at any casino in the last year, skip to the next question — this is a recurring problem, not a one-off. Good alternatives: PayID (same bank, different rails) or Neosurf (doesn't touch your bank at all).

2. Do you need both-way transactions?

If yes, cross off Neosurf, Apple Pay and Google Pay — they are deposit-only. You will need to nominate a withdrawal method anyway (bank transfer, PayID, MiFinity, or crypto).

3. How much do you typically deposit?

Under AU$500 per session: any method works. AU$500 to AU$10,000: PayID or crypto are smoothest. Over AU$10,000: bank transfer or crypto, because other methods hit per-transaction limits.

4. How much does privacy matter to you?

If your bank statement tracking bothers you, or you want to keep gambling funds separate from household finances: crypto (especially USDT) or Neosurf are the private choices. If privacy isn't a factor: PayID is probably your best pick.

The default answer for most AU players: PayID for both deposits and withdrawals, with USDT (TRC-20) as a secondary method for very large amounts or when privacy matters. Keep Neosurf as an emergency option if a PayID transfer ever fails and you want to deposit quickly. This covers 90%+ of use cases cleanly.

When deposits or withdrawals go wrong

Most transactions go through without issue. When they don't, the reason is almost always one of the following:

Card deposit declined

The most common problem. Your bank has decided a casino is not a place it wants your money to go. Options: call the bank and request an exception on the 7995 merchant code (works sometimes), use a different bank's card, or switch to PayID/crypto/Neosurf which don't carry that code. We cannot override your bank's decision.

Crypto deposit not credited

Almost always one of: wrong network (sent USDT on ERC-20 to a TRC-20 address — irrecoverable), insufficient confirmations (wait the full required time for the network), or the wrong address (check the full string, not just the first and last four characters). If the transaction is on-chain at the right address and has the required confirmations, contact support with the transaction hash.

Withdrawal taking longer than expected

Standard approval is under four hours on our side. If that has passed: check whether your account has completed KYC (unverified accounts are held for verification), and check that the withdrawal method matches a method you have deposited from (withdrawal to a new method requires extra verification). If both are fine, contact support.

Withdrawal returned to balance

Sometimes a withdrawal is returned and the amount reappears in your casino balance. Reasons: the receiving bank rejected the transfer, the nominated account was frozen, or the method you chose has a daily limit that the withdrawal exceeded. The balance is intact; you can try again with a different method or a smaller amount.

Frequently asked questions

What's the fastest payment method at Robocat Casino?

For deposits, PayID, Apple Pay and Google Pay are all effectively instant. For withdrawals, crypto (USDT on TRC-20 is fastest) clears the on-chain portion in 2–5 minutes after our under-90-second approval. PayID settles in under two hours end-to-end. If you want the fastest total cycle from deposit to cashout, USDT is the pick; if you want instant AU-dollar simplicity without crypto, PayID is the pick.

Does Robocat charge any payment fees?

No — we do not charge a fee on any deposit or withdrawal through any supported method. You may still see third-party fees outside our control: your bank may apply a foreign transaction fee on card payments, MiFinity charges around 1% to load its own wallet, and crypto networks charge small fees to process on-chain transactions. These are always shown to you before you confirm, never afterwards.

Why did my Visa or Mastercard deposit fail?

Almost always because your bank blocked the transaction. The major Australian banks (Commonwealth Bank, NAB, ANZ, Westpac) decline transactions with the 7995 "betting and casino gaming" merchant category code by default. You can call your bank and request an exception, but most players find it easier to switch to PayID, Apple Pay, or crypto — none of which carry that merchant code.

Is Neosurf the same as POLi?

No, and an important note: POLi shut down in mid-2022 and is not available anywhere in Australia. If you see a casino still listing POLi as an active option, their payment page is out of date. Neosurf is a prepaid voucher system (you buy physical vouchers at a retail outlet); PayID is the modern Australian replacement for direct bank transfers. Both are fully operational.

Can I withdraw my winnings using Neosurf or Apple Pay?

No. Neosurf, Apple Pay, Google Pay and a few other methods are deposit-only by design. If you deposited with any of these, your withdrawal will route to an alternative method you nominate — typically bank transfer, PayID, MiFinity or crypto. The alternative method has to be in your own name and has to pass our KYC verification.

Is it safe to use crypto at an online casino?

Yes, assuming you use reputable crypto and a licensed operator. The crypto itself (BTC, ETH, USDT, LTC) is secured by blockchain verification — the casino cannot reverse or manipulate a confirmed transaction. What you need to watch for is the exchange you buy crypto from (use established ones like CoinSpot, Swyftx, Independent Reserve) and the wallet you hold it in (hardware wallet or reputable software wallet, not unknown exchanges). Once the crypto is in your wallet, sending it to a licensed casino is safer than sending fiat through cards.

Do I need to verify my identity for payments?

Yes, once you try to withdraw. We verify identity (KYC) when you request your first withdrawal — not at the deposit stage, so you can start playing immediately. KYC verification takes under 24 hours on most accounts and only needs to be done once. After that, withdrawals go through without any further checks unless the amount is unusually large or the pattern looks suspicious.

Which payment method should I actually use?

For most Australian players: PayID for deposits and withdrawals, with crypto (USDT specifically) as a secondary option for very large amounts or when privacy matters. If your bank blocks casino card transactions, Neosurf is the easiest workaround for deposits. Apple Pay and Google Pay are the most convenient on mobile. MiFinity is the right choice if you play at multiple casinos and want an eWallet layer. Avoid card-only setups (Visa/Mastercard without a fallback) because if your bank starts declining, you have no other option.
