Fair Go Casino Deposit Methods: Minimums, Speed and Which to Choose

The full Fair Go casino deposit methods table

Here is every method listed in the Fair Go cashier, with its minimum deposit. All are free and instant.

Note that "instant" refers to how quickly Fair Go credits the deposit once the payment arrives. Crypto still needs the network to confirm the transaction first, which is normally a matter of minutes.

Best deposit method for speed and convenience

If you already have a debit or credit card in your pocket, Visa or Mastercard is the quickest start. Enter the card, deposit $20 or more, and you are playing in under a minute. On a phone, Apple Pay and Google Pay are even faster because the card is already stored and you approve with a fingerprint or face.

The catch is that some Australian banks block transactions to gambling merchants. If your card bounces, JET Bank Transfer is the fallback: $20 minimum, instant, and it pays straight from your bank account without a card involved.

Best deposit method for privacy

Some punters would rather not have a casino name on a bank or card statement. Two options keep the deposit off your banking records entirely:

• Neosurf: a prepaid voucher bought with cash or card at a retail outlet. You enter the voucher code in the cashier. Minimum $10. See the Neosurf deposit guide.
• CashtoCode: similar idea, bought for cash at participating retailers. Minimum $25. See CashtoCode at Fair Go.

Crypto sits in between. The casino transaction never touches your bank, but buying the coins on an Australian exchange still leaves a record there. Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Tether and Bitcoin Cash are all accepted, with Lightning Bitcoin starting at just $5.

Best deposit method for bonuses

Most Fair Go bonuses work with any method as long as you meet the minimum deposit. At the time of writing:

• WELCOME (100% up to $200, five times): $20 minimum, so any card, wallet or bank method qualifies.
• 100-NEOS (100% Neosurf bonus, single use): $20 minimum, Neosurf only. This is the one method-specific code, so Neosurf users effectively get an extra match on top of the welcome package.
• BUSHMAGIC (200% plus 25 free spins on Kev's Bush Bonanza): $60 minimum.
• CASTLE (150% plus 50 free spins, three times): $40 minimum.
• Cashback (25% on busted deposits, 30% on weekends): any method, deposits of $10 or more made without a bonus code.

Because Neosurf and eZeeWallet both start at $10, they are the cheapest way to qualify for cashback. The full list of codes lives on our Fair Go bonus codes page.

Deposit now, withdraw later: plan the exit

Here is the part most deposit guides skip. Only three methods can take money out of Fair Go: Bitcoin, eZeeWallet and wire transfer. Cards, mobile wallets and vouchers are one-way.

That matters because it decides how you cash out. If you deposit with eZeeWallet you can withdraw to the same wallet for free. If you deposit with Bitcoin you can withdraw in Bitcoin for free. If you deposit with a card, you will need to set up one of those two or pay $50 for a wire. Choosing a two-way method on day one saves hassle on the day you win.

How to make a Fair Go deposit

The process is the same whichever method you choose:

1. Log in on desktop or mobile browser (there is no app) and open the cashier.
2. Choose Deposit and pick a method from the list.
3. Enter an amount at or above the method minimum. Add a bonus code if you want one.
4. Complete the payment: card details, wallet login, voucher code or crypto address.
5. The balance updates immediately and you can head to the pokies.

Our step-by-step deposit guide has screenshots of each stage.

Methods Fair Go does not offer

Two names Australians search for are missing: PayID and POLi. Neither appears in the Fair Go cashier at the time of writing. The honest alternative for bank-to-casino payments is JET Bank Transfer, which does the same job of moving money from your account without a card. We explain the difference on our Fair Go PayID page.

There are also no Skrill, Neteller or PayPal options. If an e-wallet is your preference, eZeeWallet is the one on offer.

Responsible gambling

Instant deposits are convenient, which is exactly why a limit matters. Decide what you can afford to lose for the week before you open the cashier, and treat that number as fixed. Fair Go accepts players aged 18 and over only.
