How Money Moves at Realz: PayID, POLi, Cards and Crypto

AUD Is the Default Currency

Every Realz account opens in Australian dollars. There is no currency conversion step, no multi-currency wallet to manage, and no guesswork about exchange rates on your statement. Deposits, balances, bonus values and withdrawals are all shown in AUD, which matches how most AU players already think about their bankroll.

Bank-Grade Local Rails: PayID and POLi

PayID is the fastest way to fund a Realz account. You link your PayID (usually a phone number or email tied to your bank account) once, then deposits clear near-instantly, often within a minute or two, because the payment moves over Australia's New Payments Platform rather than an international card network. It is the method most AU players choose for everyday top-ups.

POLi works directly through your online banking login, without needing a card or a saved PayID. It suits players who prefer to authorise a payment from inside their own banking app or browser session. Deposits via POLi typically land in your Realz balance within minutes, though your bank's own processing window can occasionally add a short delay.

Cards: Visa and Mastercard

Visa and Mastercard remain widely used for deposits. Funds usually appear in your account instantly or within a few minutes of authorisation. Card withdrawals back to the same card are slower than PayID, generally taking a few business days to clear once approved, because the return trip runs through the card scheme rather than a direct bank rail.

Bank Transfer

A standard bank transfer is available for players who prefer a direct account-to-account move, or for larger amounts where a PayID limit might apply. It is reliable but slower than PayID, with deposits sometimes taking a business day to reflect and withdrawals following a similar timeline once your request is verified.

Crypto Cashier: Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether

Realz also runs a crypto cashier alongside the AUD banking rails. Bitcoin, Ethereum and Tether are all accepted, and this route works well if you already hold crypto or want to avoid touching your everyday bank account for online play. Deposits confirm once the network has processed the transaction, which is often faster than a bank transfer, though network congestion can occasionally slow things down. Your Realz balance itself still displays in AUD, so the crypto amount is converted at the point of deposit and back again on withdrawal.

• Use PayID for everyday deposits when speed matters most.
• Use POLi if you prefer to authorise payments inside your own banking app.
• Use a card if PayID or POLi is not linked to your bank yet.
• Use crypto if you already hold Bitcoin, Ethereum or Tether and want a bank-free option.
• Keep your ID documents current so verification does not hold up a withdrawal.
