Does PayID charge any fees when I deposit at an online pokies site?

No, PayID itself does not charge any fees for making payments. The system is built into Australia's New Payments Platform and operates as a free service provided by participating banks.

Are PayID withdrawals from pokies sites instant?

The actual bank transfer component of a PayID withdrawal is very fast — typically completing within minutes once initiated. Casino internal processing typically takes 1–24 hours.

Why do some platforms charge withdrawal fees even though PayID is free?

Platforms that charge withdrawal fees are adding a margin on top of their banking costs. Many Australian pokies sites offer completely free PayID withdrawals as a standard feature.
