Why Use Bank Transfers at Online Casinos?
A bank transfer moves money from your Australian bank account without an app or voucher. Offshore casinos often receive it through a payment processor rather than their own Australian account.
The trade-off is speed: a transfer can take a few business days. Not every casino lists it: fewer than half of the casinos on this site do.
Casinos that list Bank Transfer
How to Deposit via Bank Transfer
- Log in to your casino and select Bank Transfer as your deposit method.
- The casino gives you the payment details in its cashier, including any reference to quote.
- Log in to your online banking or mobile app.
- Set up the casino as a new payee using the provided details.
- Transfer the amount you wish to deposit, including the reference number.
- Wait for the transfer to process — typically 1–3 business days.
- Your casino balance will be credited once the funds arrive.
Withdrawing via Bank Transfer
Many casinos pay out by bank transfer. How long it takes depends on the casino’s own approval and ID checks and on your bank, and is often several business days.
Benefits of Using Bank Transfers
- No third-party accounts — Transact directly from your existing bank account.
- Bank-level security — Protected by your bank’s encryption and fraud systems.
Drawbacks
- Slower processing — Deposits and withdrawals can each take several business days.
- Fees vary — Some casinos charge for bank transfer withdrawals, and your bank may charge for an international transfer.
- Business days — Transfers that go overseas may not move on weekends or public holidays.
- Manual setup — You enter the payee details in your banking app yourself.
Safety and Security
Your bank’s own security measures (two-factor authentication, transaction alerts) apply to a transfer from your account. They don’t protect you once the money reaches an offshore casino.
Bank Transfer FAQs
How long do bank transfer casino payments take?
It depends on the casino and how it sends or receives the transfer, so check the times stated in its cashier. Withdrawals wait for the casino's approval first, and international transfers usually take longer than domestic ones.
Are there fees for casino bank transfers?
Check the casino's cashier and your bank's fee schedule. Fees are more likely when a casino pays out by international transfer: intermediary banks can deduct charges, and your bank may charge to convert currency if the payout doesn't arrive in AUD.
Is it safe to give a casino my BSB and account number?
BSB and account numbers let someone pay you, not take money out; a direct debit needs a separate authority you'd have to sign. Your details do identify you and your bank, and payouts from unfamiliar overseas senders can prompt your bank to ask about the source of funds. Keep records of your deposits and withdrawals.
