Paysafecard works for deposits only at most casinos, so you need a second method such as PayID or crypto to withdraw. This guide is part of our list of the best online casinos in Australia and explains how Paysafecard works at casinos, what it costs and which withdrawal method to pair it with.
What is a Paysafecard casino?
A Paysafecard casino is an online casino that accepts Paysafecard PINs in its cashier. You buy a prepaid PIN, enter it at the casino and the amount lands in your balance straight away.
Paysafecard suits three kinds of players:
- Privacy-minded players: no card number or bank account is shared with the casino.
- Players on a budget: you can only spend what is on the PIN.
- Players without a suitable card: many Australian banks block gambling on credit cards, and a prepaid PIN avoids the card altogether.
How do you deposit with Paysafecard at an online casino?
Depositing with Paysafecard takes about two minutes once you have a PIN:
- Buy a PIN: from the PIN shop in a my paysafecard account, or from a reseller such as Dundle or Recharge.com.
- Open the cashier: log in to the casino and choose Deposit.
- Choose Paysafecard: enter the deposit amount in AUD.
- Enter the PIN: type the 16 digits, or log in to my paysafecard if the casino asks for it.
- Start playing: the deposit usually appears within seconds.

Can you withdraw with Paysafecard?
Usually not. Most casinos that accept Australians offer Paysafecard for deposits only, because a prepaid PIN cannot receive money back. Plan your withdrawal method before your first deposit:
- PayID: winnings straight to your Australian bank account in AUD, often within minutes after approval. See our list of PayID casinos.
- Crypto: fast payouts to your own wallet, with no casino fee at many sites. See our guide to crypto casinos.
- E-wallets: eZeeWallet or MiFinity, which pay out within minutes at many casinos.
The casino may ask you to verify your account and payment details before the first withdrawal, even if you deposited with a voucher.
What does Paysafecard cost at an online casino?
A Paysafecard PIN costs its face value, and casinos rarely charge for Paysafecard deposits. Paysafecard’s own fees apply after you buy:
- Service fee: A$5 per month is taken from an unused balance from the second month after purchase.
- Refund fee: A$7.50 if you ask for leftover credit to be paid back.
- Conversion fee: charged when the casino processes the payment in another currency.
Use a PIN within its first month, or register it in my paysafecard, to avoid the service fee. Choose a casino with an AUD account so the deposit is not converted.
What are the Paysafecard limits at casinos?
A single Paysafecard payment is capped at A$200, even when you combine several PINs. Casinos add their own limits on top:
An A$10 PIN covers the lowest deposit at many casinos. Our list of $10 deposit casinos shows which sites accept that amount.
How much do Paysafecard fees add up to?
Most of the cost comes from what happens to leftover credit. These examples use the fees on paysafecard’s Australian fee page:
The cheapest way to use Paysafecard is to buy exactly the amount you want to deposit and spend it straight away at a casino with an AUD account.
Can you claim a bonus with a Paysafecard deposit?
Usually yes, but check the bonus terms first. Some casinos exclude voucher and e-wallet deposits from welcome offers, and many set a minimum deposit for the bonus that is higher than A$10.
Two things to check before you deposit:
- Eligible methods: the bonus terms list any payment methods that do not qualify.
- Minimum deposit: if the bonus needs A$30, a single A$20 PIN is not enough, so combine PINs.
Our guide to casino bonuses explains wagering requirements and maximum bets.
Is Paysafecard safe for casino deposits?
Paysafecard itself is safe: you share a PIN, not your bank or card details, and you can only lose the value on the PIN. The risks come from scams and from the casino you choose.
- Treat the PIN like cash: anyone who sees it can spend it, and a payment with a stolen PIN cannot be reversed.
- Never pay “fees” with a PIN: no genuine company or casino asks you to send a Paysafecard PIN by phone, chat or email.
- Check the casino: a licence you can verify and clear withdrawal terms matter more than the deposit method. Our guide to safe online casinos in Australia shows what to check.
Paysafecard vs Neosurf: which voucher should you use?
Paysafecard and Neosurf are the two prepaid vouchers Australian players use most. Both are deposit-only at most casinos.
Choose the voucher your casino lists in its cashier. Our guide to Neosurf casinos covers the Neosurf side.
What are the pros and cons of Paysafecard casinos?
Are Paysafecard casinos legal in Australia?
Paysafecard casinos that accept Australians are offshore sites. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 bans operators from offering online casino games to Australians, but playing is not an offence for you as a player. ACMA has blocked more than 1,800 illegal gambling websites. Our guide on whether online gambling is legal in Australia explains the rules.
How can you gamble responsibly with Paysafecard?
A prepaid PIN is a simple way to cap your spending: buy only the amount you planned to play with and do not top up during a session. Set a deposit limit in your casino account as well, and use the casino’s own self-exclusion tool, because BetStop does not cover offshore casinos.
