Is it legal to use PayID at online pokies sites in Australia?

Using PayID to deposit at online casino sites is not illegal for individual Australian players. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (IGA) prohibits Australian companies from offering certain interactive gambling services to Australian residents, but it does not criminalise players themselves for gambling at offshore sites.

How long does a PayID deposit take to appear in my casino account?

PayID deposits typically appear in your casino account within seconds to a few minutes of making the transfer in your banking app.

Are there any fees for using PayID at online pokies casinos?

In almost all cases, no. Australian banks do not charge customers for making PayID payments.

Can I withdraw my winnings back to my bank account via PayID?

Yes, and this is one of the most attractive features of choosing PayID at online pokies sites. Withdrawals processed via PayID route funds directly to your linked bank account.

What should I do if my PayID deposit does not show up in my casino account?

First, verify your bank statement to confirm the transfer was successfully sent and has left your account. Then contact the casino live chat support.

Which Australian banks support PayID for online casino deposits?

The vast majority of Australian financial institutions support PayID, including Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, ANZ, NAB, ING, Macquarie Bank, and most regional banks.

Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Lasera, we believe online pokies and casino games should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only. Gambling is never a way to make money or solve financial problems. Please gamble responsibly and within your means.

If you find yourself struggling to control your gambling, support is available and completely confidential.

Age Verification

You must be at least 18 years of age to use Lasera.com.au and participate in online gambling in Australia. We take age verification seriously and comply with all local laws and regulations.

If you are under 18, or if you believe someone underage is accessing gambling services, please contact our support team immediately.
