What is PayID and how do I use it for pokies?
The question what is payid and how do i use it for pokies has a short answer: PayID is a bank address that lets you pay without a BSB and account number, and at a cashier you copy the PayID shown, pay it in your banking app and wait for the balance to update. People also ask what is payid safe for pokies, which we cover in the safety guide.
PayID in plain words
PayID is a feature of Australian banking. You register an identifier such as your mobile number, email address or ABN with your bank. When someone wants to pay you, they enter that identifier instead of your BSB and account number. Behind it, the New Payments Platform moves the money between banks quickly.
How to register your own PayID
- Open your banking app and find PayID settings.
- Choose a mobile number, email or ABN to register.
- Verify with the code your bank sends.
- Select the account to receive funds.
Banks differ in screens and limits.
How the name check works
Before you confirm a payment, your bank shows the name registered to the PayID. This is the best protection against paying the wrong party. If the name does not match what you expect, stop.
Using PayID at a pokies cashier
Many casinos generate a unique PayID or reference for each deposit. You copy it into Pay Anyone, confirm the name and pay. The casino credits your balance on confirmation. See the full deposit steps.

Limits and fees
Banks set daily limits for PayID and NPP payments. Consumer fees are rare, but check your account terms. Casinos set minimums and sometimes withdrawal rules.
What PayID does not do
- It does not make a casino trustworthy.
- It does not guarantee refunds.
- It does not mean withdrawals back to PayID.
Privacy
The casino sees the payee details, not your BSB and account number. Your bank statement shows the payee name.

The technology in a nutshell
PayID is built on the New Payments Platform, a real-time payment system launched in 2018 by Australian banks. Payments settle between banks continuously, including evenings and weekends, rather than in business-day batches. PayID is the directory layer: a lookup that turns your mobile number, email or ABN into the account that should receive the payment. Osko by BPAY is one of the services that uses the platform, and many banks brand fast payments as Osko.
Registering a PayID, bank by bank
Steps differ, but the pattern is constant: open the app, find "PayID" in settings or in the payments menu, pick the identifier, verify with a code and choose the receiving account. You can usually change or close a PayID at any time. If you register a PayID at one bank and later want it at another, you transfer it through the new bank's app.
Identifiers
| Identifier | Used for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile number | Personal accounts | Verified by SMS code |
| Personal accounts | Verified by email code | |
| ABN or ACN | Business accounts | Verified by the bank |
| Organisation ID | Organisations | For specific uses |
Casinos typically use business identifiers or payment-processor identifiers, which is why the payee name you see may not match the brand.
Why the name check matters
NPP and PayID payments are irrevocable once sent. The name displayed before you confirm is your main defence against paying a stranger. Never skip it. If the name looks personal, truncated or unrelated to the cashier's instructions, stop and ask.
Common questions on limits
Banks set per-payment and daily limits, and many allow you to change them in the app. First-time payees sometimes face lower limits or a cooling-off. If a PayID payment is blocked, the bank will usually say why. Casinos have their own deposit limits per transaction and per day.
PayID and AUD pricing
PayID pays in Australian dollars. Casinos that hold AUD balances avoid currency conversion on deposits. Some offshore casinos price in euros or US dollars and convert, which adds a spread. Check the currency options at registration.
PayID for withdrawals
For a payout to reach you by PayID the casino must support it as a cashout route and you must have a PayID registered at your bank. Not all casinos do. If yours does not, other bank rails or crypto are used.

PayID vs a BSB and account number
| Feature | BSB and account | PayID |
|---|---|---|
| What you enter | 6 + up to 9 digits | A mobile, email or ABN |
| Error risk | Digit typos | Name check shows the payee |
| Speed | Same day to days | Usually seconds |
| Memorability | Low | High |
| Casino use | Manual bank transfer | Cashier-generated PayID |
A short note on privacy
Because PayID can be a mobile number or email, treat your own PayID like any contact detail. Do not publish it. If you receive a PayID request from someone you do not know, ignore it. Your bank will not ask you to share a PayID through chat or text.
Why banks warn about PayID scams
Scammers exploit the speed and finality of PayID by asking victims to "confirm" or "upgrade" their PayID, or by posing as buyers who need to overpay. Banks therefore show warnings and name checks. Read them, because they exist for a reason.
