What is AstroPay?
AstroPay is a digital wallet with virtual cards. It started as a prepaid card and now offers a wallet you can hold money in, send from and pay with. Some online casinos list it as a deposit method, and a smaller number list it for withdrawals.
AstroPay’s availability and supported currencies differ by country, so check on AstroPay’s own site that you can open an account in Australia, and whether it holds AUD, before you sign up.

Safety and Security with AstroPay
When you pay a casino with AstroPay, your bank account and card details aren’t passed to the casino. That isn’t anonymity: the casino still checks your ID before it pays a withdrawal.
Every casino that lists AstroPay on this site is based offshore. Keeping casino money in a separate wallet can make your spending easier to track.
AstroPay FAQs
Can Australians use AstroPay at online casinos?
Only where a casino lists it. AstroPay is a wallet you fund and pay from. Check that it accepts sign-ups from Australia, and confirm the casino lists it for withdrawals as well as deposits.
Should I deposit with an AstroPay card or the wallet?
A one-time virtual card can't receive a payout. If you expect to withdraw to AstroPay, deposit from the wallet at a casino that pays out to it.
Can I withdraw casino winnings to AstroPay?
Only if the casino pays out to AstroPay, and only to the wallet. Check the withdrawal menu before you deposit, and expect an ID check before your first withdrawal.
