If you’ve been around the Aussie gambling scene as long as I have, you remember the “dark ages.” Back then, if you wanted to move money into a casino account, you either handed over your credit card details like a sacrificial lamb or you initiated a standard bank transfer and waited three business days for the funds to clear. By the time the money actually hit your account, you probably didn’t even want to play anymore.
Then came PayID. It didn’t just change the game; it essentially nuked the old way of doing things. In 2026, if a site doesn’t offer PayID, most Aussie punters won’t even give it a second look. But why did a simple banking update become the “holy grail” for local players?
