Let us be straight about Fair Go casino PayID: Fair Go does not offer PayID as a deposit or withdrawal method at the time of writing. Any page telling you to "deposit with PayID at Fair Go" is out of date or guessing. POLi is not on the list either.
That does not leave Aussies without a bank option. JET Bank Transfer does the same job of paying from your bank account, with a $20 minimum, no fee and instant crediting. This page explains what PayID actually is, why so many people search for it, and how JET compares.

What PayID is
PayID is a feature of Australia's New Payments Platform, the real-time banking network most Australian banks joined from 2018 onward. Instead of quoting a BSB and account number, a payee registers a simple identifier, usually a mobile number, email address or ABN, and links it to their bank account. You type that identifier into your banking app, confirm the name that appears, and the money moves in seconds, any day, any hour.
For online casinos the appeal is obvious: instant deposits straight from a bank account, no card required, and the payment uses rails that Australians already trust. That is why "PayID casino" is a heavily searched term, and why people naturally assume a casino built for Australians would have it.
Why Fair Go does not list PayID
We cannot speak for Fair Go's payments team, but the practical reason is fairly clear. PayID runs on the domestic Australian banking system, and under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (Cth) it is illegal for operators to offer online casino games to people in Australia. Fair Go holds a Curaçao licence and no Australian one, so it does not have the kind of domestic banking relationship that a PayID merchant identifier requires. The same applies to POLi.
What Fair Go does instead is work with a payment processor, JET, that can accept a bank transfer from an Australian account and credit the casino instantly. From the player's side it feels similar to PayID: you are paying from your bank, not a card.

Play at Fair GoOther alternatives if you wanted PayID for a specific reason
People search for PayID for different reasons. Match the reason to the right Fair Go method:
- You wanted to avoid a card. JET Bank Transfer, or eZeeWallet from $10, or Neosurf from $10.
- Your bank blocks gambling card payments. JET Bank Transfer bypasses the card network entirely. Neosurf and CashtoCode never touch your bank.
- You wanted instant deposits. Every Fair Go method is instant, including cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay.
- You wanted fast withdrawals to your bank. Wire transfer is the bank payout option but costs $50 and is capped at $2,500 a week. eZeeWallet is free and you can move funds from the wallet onward.
For a broader look at which Australian-facing sites do accept PayID, read our PayID casino Australia guide. We still point most readers to Fair Go because the AUD-native experience, 24/7 chat and 30x wagering outweigh the missing payment rail for the majority of players.
Beware of sites claiming Fair Go accepts PayID
Because the search term is popular, some affiliate pages promise a Fair Go PayID deposit that does not exist. A few will even link to a different casino under the Fair Go name. Protect yourself:
- The only reliable source for payment methods is the cashier inside your Fair Go account.
- Never send a PayID payment to an identifier posted on a third-party website or in a chat message claiming to be Fair Go.
- If a method is missing from the cashier, it is not offered, regardless of what a review says.
