How to avoid hidden fees for AUD payments
Introduction
Hidden fees for currency conversion or "servicing" a payment can eat up to 3% of the transaction amount. It is important for Australian players to choose methods that work directly in AUD and check all conditions in advance so as not to lose funds when replenishing and withdrawing.
1. Choose your default AUD casino
Check the list of currencies in the registration.
If AUD is specified as the only or priority option, conversion will not occur.
Avoid platforms where you need to choose USD/EUR.
2. Use local bank transfers without fees
PayID/Osko: instant, 0 AUD fee.
BPAY: enrollment in 1-2 hours, more often free.
POLi: instant transfer via online bank without registration in the service.
3. Electronic wallets with AUD balance
Skrill and Neteller: open an account immediately in AUD, top up with PayID/Osko or a card and transfer to a casino without converting.
PayPal: Make sure your wallet is set up with an AUD balance or the system can convert.
4. Cryptocurrencies as an alternative
USDT/TRC20: minimum network fees, the ability to bind output to the equivalent of AUD.
Bitcoin/Ethereum: Choose networks with low fees (for example, TRC20-USDT instead of ERC20).
5. Avoid international bank transfers
SWIFT transfers: commission A $20-A $40 and 1-3 working days.
