Bank transfer with a bookmaker: what the banking pages say

What a banking page has to say

For a bank transfer we look for five published items: that the method exists, the direction it covers, the limits in A$, any fee, and the account details or reference the operator asks you to use.

Timing appears only as a quoted statement with its page date. We never rank operators by it.

Where a page gives the detail inside an app or after login, we cannot read it and the cell says so.

Where this stands: five items are looked for, and only published ones are recorded.

How a transfer differs from PayID

PayID is a payment address (a mobile number, email, ABN or Organisation Identifier) run under Australian Payments Plus. A bank transfer may instead name account details to pay into.

An operator can offer one, both or neither. The comparison belongs on each operator's page, not in a general rule.

Our PayID page records the same cells for that method, so the two can be read side by side: Using PayID with an Australian bookmaker.

Where this stands: the two methods are recorded in the same cells, side by side.

What candidate operators publish

These are candidate names; licences are to be confirmed in the ACMA register on publication day.

Where this stands: nothing is filled until the pages are read.

Points to check before you send money

Use account details from the operator's own banking page. Do not use details from an email, a message or a list site.

Check the domain against the ACMA register first. A lookalike domain is the usual way a transfer goes to the wrong place.

Copy any reference exactly as shown. Then keep the date and amount of the transfer.

Where this stands: the details come from the operator's banking page, nowhere else.

When this page stays published

This page needs at least three operators with a bank-transfer line on a read banking page. Below that, it merges into the payment methods snapshot.

Where this stands: three confirmed operators are the threshold.
