Most electronic payments such as credit cards and digital wallets process instantly after authorisation. Bank transfers via POLi take up to 5 minutes depending on your bank.

VIP users can access daily limits up to $25,000 and monthly limits of $250,000. Temporary limit increases for major events are available through customer support with 48 hours notice.
Minimum Deposit Requirements
Credit and debit card deposits start at $5. POLi bank transfers and Paysafecard deposits start at $10. Minimums reflect processing fees and banking requirements. Larger deposits require corresponding voucher values or bank transfer amounts.
Troubleshooting Common Deposit Issues
Common deposit failures occur due to insufficient funds, expired cards, or incorrect payment details. Verify your card expiry date and billing address before retrying. Banks sometimes block gambling transactions; contact your bank to allow these payments. PayPal deposits may fail if your PayPal account has limitations or low balance. POLi errors typically happen due to banking site maintenance or connection timeouts. Network slowdowns also affect deposit reliability.
Payment Method Error Resolution
For credit card errors, double-check CVV and billing details. With PayPal, log in directly to resolve account restrictions. For POLi, retry after 30 minutes or use alternate methods. Network issues require stable internet connections, preferably WiFi over mobile data. Our 24/7 support team assists with deposit problems through live chat, email, or phone.
