How to Deposit & Withdraw from Aussie Online Sportsbooks

When considering an Australian Sports bookmaker, it is important to take into account the method in which you plan to deposit and withdraw funds. Throughout this page we will go into details of the methods used by various Australian bookmakers on depositing/withdrawing and you will be able to choose the bookmaker that best suits your needs. We also take a look at the turnover policies some bookmakers may need in order for a withdrawal to be possible.

Common Deposit/Withdrawal Methods

Credit Card – This is the most popular way punters will deposit their funds onto their sports betting account. All Australian bookmakers offer this option for depositing. Once you have completed the deposit the money will be available in your account immediately, which is a great positive if you need to get a bet on quickly.

However, some punters do steer clear of this option because of the worries about security. A lot of the bookmakers will store your credit card details to allow for faster deposits. Before depositing onto a bookmaker you must be sure to determine the security of the website.

Bank Transfer – All Australian bookmakers provide their banking details for punters which enables you to deposit funds into your sports betting account via a electronic bank transfer.

There is no transaction fee when depositing or withdrawing when using this method. However, the massive downside to using this method is that it will take a few days before the money becomes available in your account, which could be an issue when needing to put a bet on quickly.

This is the most common method used by punters when withdrawing their funds from their betting account.

BPAY – This method would be familiar to those people who use this technique to pay for their general bills. The funds are deposited onto your account through your Internet or phone banking service. BPAY can only be used as a deposit method and generally punters will use bank transfer to withdraw their funds.

This method is similar to a bank transfer as there is no transaction fee when depositing or withdrawing and you will be required to wait a few days whilst the money is transferred into your betting account. This method has also been known to have data entry errors whilst making the transaction.

POLi – The majority of the Australian bookmakers use this method and it is a fast and secure way to deposit money onto your betting account. POLi is a service that allows you to make an immediate deposit into your betting account via bank transfer. The method works by directing you to your Australian bank where you will be required to log in. Once logged in, the service will automatically take you to the transfer section of your bank and from there it will fill in your chosen bookmaker’s financial details for you and you will simply have to choose an amount and confirm the deposit.

The massive positive for this method is that you will immediately receive funds in your betting account and you won’t encounter the same issues surrounding credit card deposits.

The only issue with using this form of deposit is that it will require the additional download of a browser add-on. The add-on is known for crashing and freezing when using a particular OS/browser combination. Surprisingly, the most reliable browser for using POLi is Internet Explorer.

Skrill (Moneybookers) – This method is a very secure way for punters to deposit funds into their betting accounts. The Skrill service acts as a “digital wallet” as it is a convenient way to transfer cash online instantly. Australians are able to upload funds via credit card, POLi, bank transfer or cheque.

This method prevents punters from having to share any of their credit card or bank details with bookmakers. It is arguably the best method when using international bookmakers.

Withdrawals from your betting account can be made by bank transfer or cheque, however a small withdrawal fee applies when withdrawing funds from your Skrill account.

Paypal – This method uses the global e-commerce service that facilitates payments and money transfers through the Internet. Online shoppers commonly use Paypal as it allows people to easily transfer funds between accounts in a safe and secure away.

You can deposit funds onto your Paypal account by credit card or bank deposit and from there, punters can transfer the funds onto their betting accounts. It is a convenient and easy way to deposit funds without sharing your credit card or bank details with the bookmakers and the money will be available in your betting account immediately.

Bookmaker turnover requirements

The majority of bookmakers will require you to complete a turnover over your deposited funds before you can make a withdrawal. The turnover is just making a wager of the amount of the deposited funds before it is possible to make the withdrawal.
