How AUD Payments Work at Oshi

PayID: the fastest way to fund your account

PayID is the default choice for most Oshi players because it moves money between Australian bank accounts almost instantly, using your phone number or email instead of a BSB and account number. Deposits typically clear in under a minute, meaning you can be spinning pokies before your coffee's gone cold. Because PayID runs through the New Payments Platform, it's also available around the clock, including weekends and public holidays like Australia Day or the Melbourne Cup long weekend, when other rails slow down.

POLi: bank-grade logins without a card

POLi lets you deposit by logging into your own online banking, whether that's with a major bank or a smaller regional one. No card numbers change hands. Deposits confirm within a few minutes once your bank approves the transfer. POLi doesn't handle withdrawals, so it's a deposit-only tool, best paired with PayID or bank transfer for cashing out.

Visa and Mastercard

Card deposits land in your Oshi balance in a couple of minutes, same as most Australian card purchases. Withdrawals back to a card take longer, generally a few business days once processed, since that's how card networks handle reversals rather than anything Oshi controls. If speed matters more than familiarity, PayID or crypto will usually beat a card withdrawal.

Bitcoin and Tether (USDT)

Crypto deposits confirm once the network verifies the transaction, often within 10 to 30 minutes depending on network congestion. Withdrawals in Bitcoin or USDT are popular with players who want to skip weekend banking delays altogether, since blockchain networks don't observe Australian public holidays or bank hours. You'll need a compatible wallet, and it pays to double-check the wallet address before sending.

Bank Transfer

Standard bank transfer is the slowest but most familiar option, useful for larger amounts you're comfortable waiting on. Deposits can take from several hours up to a business day, and withdrawals follow a similar or slightly longer window depending on your bank's own processing.

Withdrawal verification

Before your first withdrawal, Oshi will ask for standard identity checks, typically a photo ID and proof of the payment method used to deposit. This is a one-off step for most players and it's what keeps withdrawals moving quickly afterwards. Delays usually come down to incomplete verification rather than the payment method itself.

Support hours built around Australian time

Oshi's support team works hours aligned to AEST/AEDT, covering the periods Australian players are actually online: evenings after work, weekends, and the late-night sessions that pokies fans are known for. Live chat is the fastest way to sort a stuck deposit or ask about withdrawal timing, and it's worth having your transaction reference ready when you reach out.

Bonus funds and your cashier

Any welcome bonus or reload offer applied to a deposit sits alongside your cash balance with its own wagering conditions. Full terms are on the Bonus page. T&Cs apply, 18+.
