Banking at Ricky Casino — AU Methods and Real Payout Windows
Deposits at Ricky land instantly across every supported AU method. Withdrawals are where casinos really differ, so this page focuses on the timing window you should expect by method, with figures drawn from our own settlement logs across recent AEST weekdays. Numbers are medians, not best-case marketing claims.
PayID — the Default for Most Aussie Punters
PayID is the fastest path out for the majority of Australian players. Tie your email or mobile to your bank's PayID directory, send it to us as a withdrawal target, and funds typically land in 11–18 minutes during AEST business hours (09:00–22:00). Outside those hours batches process less frequently and the window stretches to 30–60 minutes. There's no fee from our side and no FX spread because the entire transaction sits inside AU$.
Minimum withdrawal AU$50, daily cap AU$10,000 for verified accounts. VIP tiers lift the daily cap on request.
POLi — Deposit Only
This catches a lot of punters out, so we'll be direct: POLi works inbound (deposits) but not outbound (withdrawals). It's a bank-redirect product, not a two-way rail. If you deposited with POLi and now want to cash out, switch your withdrawal target to PayID linked to the same account. The bank-level audit trail still ties the money to you for AML purposes.
POLi deposits clear instantly with no fees. Minimum AU$20, maximum AU$2,000 per transaction.
BPAY — Slower but Reliable
BPAY is the slowest of the AU rails — 1–3 hours for deposits to clear on a weekday, longer over weekends and bank-holiday Mondays — but it's also the most predictable, with bank-side records that simplify any later dispute. Withdrawals via BPAY post next business day. The minimum is AU$50 in, AU$100 out.
BPAY is the right choice if your bank's PayID isn't set up and you'd rather not register one.
Neosurf — Vouchers for Privacy-Conscious Punters
Neosurf vouchers are prepaid codes you buy at petrol stations, newsagents and online. Maximum AU$500 per voucher; you can stack codes in one deposit up to AU$1,500 per session. Funds hit instantly. The downside: Neosurf doesn't process refunds — wins must withdraw via another method (PayID is the usual choice), which means an extra KYC step the first time.
Crypto — for Players Who Already Run a Wallet
We accept Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, Tether (TRC20 and ERC20), and a small handful of others. Settlement time on deposit is governed by network confirmations: 10–25 minutes for Bitcoin (one confirmation), 1–3 minutes for fast Litecoin, ~3 minutes for TRC20 USDT. Withdrawals back to your wallet are released within 10–60 minutes once approved on our side, depending on chain congestion. Crypto is the right tool if you already hold the coin; we don't recommend buying it solely to deposit, because spot exchange spreads usually exceed any speed advantage.
KYC — When the Check Fires
We're required by AML/CTF Act obligations to verify Australian players before paying out. The check triggers automatically at either of two points: your first withdrawal request, or cumulative deposits reaching AU$2,000 — whichever comes first. You'll be asked to upload three things via the secure portal:
- Government photo ID (driver's licence or passport).
- A selfie holding that same ID.
- A residential proof — utility bill, bank statement or council rates notice — dated within the last 90 days.
Median KYC turnaround is 1–6 hours during AU evenings; the team reviews in batches and busiest windows are after AEST 18:00. Once verified, future withdrawals release without a repeat check unless you change payment method.

Ricky charges no internal fees on any cashier method. Network or bank fees may apply on your end — they don't sit on our books.
If Your Withdrawal Hasn't Landed
First check the timing window above against the clock. PayID withdrawals submitted at 22:30 won't process until the next morning's first batch. If you're well outside the expected window, open live chat with your withdrawal reference (visible in account history). We can see the same ledger you can; almost every "missing" payout turns out to be a typed PayID alias or a bank-side anti-fraud hold.
