Search for a PayID casino in Australia and you will find dozens of lists promising instant bank deposits at offshore sites. We are going to be straight with you: Fair Go Casino, the site we recommend, does not offer PayID. It does offer a bank-based alternative that works in a similar way, plus a dozen other instant methods.
This page explains what PayID actually is, why so many "PayID casino" lists do not hold up when you get to the cashier, and which options you can genuinely use to fund a Fair Go account today.

What is PayID?
PayID is a feature of Australian online banking that lets you link an easy identifier, usually your mobile number, email address or ABN, to your bank account. Instead of typing a BSB and account number, the sender just enters your PayID, sees your registered name to confirm they have the right person, and the money moves through the fast payments network.
It is popular for paying mates back, splitting bills and settling marketplace sales because it is quick and the name check cuts down on mistyped transfers. That convenience is exactly why casino players go looking for it.
Fair Go and PayID: the honest answer
Fair Go Casino does not list PayID as a deposit or withdrawal method, and it does not list POLi either. We have checked the cashier and the banking pages, and neither appears. You can read more about this specific question on our Fair Go PayID page.
What Fair Go offers instead is JET Bank Transfer, a bank-based deposit option with a $20 minimum that is free and instant like every other method in the cashier. If the reason you wanted PayID was to pay straight from your bank account without using a card, JET Bank Transfer is the closest match. Our JET Bank Transfer guide walks through the steps.
Why many "PayID casino" lists are misleading
PayID is a popular search term, so affiliate sites are keen to rank for it. That creates some patterns worth being wary of:
- Stale information. Payment options at offshore casinos change, and a list written a year or two ago may describe a cashier that no longer exists.
- Keyword stuffing. Some pages simply attach "PayID" to every casino they promote, whether or not the method actually appears at the cashier.
- Manual workarounds dressed up as PayID. Occasionally a site asks you to pay an individual or a third-party account, then credits your balance by hand. That is not the same as an integrated payment method, and it leaves you with little recourse if the credit never arrives.
- No mention of withdrawals. Even where a deposit route exists, lists rarely explain how you get money back out.
Our rule of thumb: if a casino's own cashier does not show PayID once you are logged in, treat any claim to the contrary with suspicion, and never send money to a personal account on a casino's instructions.
Instant deposit options that do work at Fair Go
All Fair Go deposits are free and instant. Here is how the main alternatives to PayID compare:

The full list, including Ethereum, Tether, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash, is on our Fair Go deposit methods page.
Getting money back to your bank
Even players who find a genuine PayID deposit route at some other site often discover it does not work in reverse. At Fair Go, the withdrawal options are Bitcoin (free), eZeeWallet (free) and wire or bank transfer, which carries a $50 fee. Each request sits between $100 and $2,500, and processing takes up to two business days after your ID is verified.
If you want money back in your account as cheaply as possible, many players withdraw to eZeeWallet free of charge and move it to their bank from there. Details are on our Fair Go withdrawal guide.
Which option should a PayID fan choose?
It depends on why you liked PayID in the first place:
- You wanted to pay from your bank, not a card: use JET Bank Transfer.
- You wanted speed on your phone: Apple Pay or Google Pay is a couple of taps.
- You wanted to keep gambling off your bank statement: a Neosurf voucher bought with cash does that, from $10.
- You wanted fast payouts too: deposit with Bitcoin or eZeeWallet so you can withdraw the same way for free.

Usually because the page is old, copied from another list, or simply targeting a popular search term. We check the Fair Go cashier directly, and at the time of writing it does not include PayID or POLi.
