luckytiger for how they present POLi/PayID options and VIP terms for Australian players. Try a small deposit to validate flows before moving larger sums.
Another practical tip: always schedule big withdrawals early in the week (avoid public holidays like Australia Day 26/01 or Melbourne Cup Day) to reduce delay risk — banks and compliance teams slow to a crawl on long weekends. If you plan a big withdrawal around A$10,000+, notify support and supply KYC in advance to avoid hold-ups.

About the author
I’m an Australian gambling industry analyst and long-time punter with years of experience testing offshore lobbies, payment rails and VIP programs across Australia. I’ve walked through KYC queues, tested POLi/PayID flows and lived the good, the bad and the slow withdrawals — and I write to help fellow punters make fewer costly mistakes. (Just my two cents — your mileage may vary.)
