Blaze Payments Built for Australian Banking Habits
PayID and POLi for instant AUD transfers, cards and Neosurf for everyday deposits, Bitcoin and USDT for players who want speed on withdrawals too.
How Money Moves at Blaze
Last updated: October 26, 2026
We built our cashier around the way Australians actually bank: PayID transfers that clear in minutes, POLi for people who'd rather not enter card details, and crypto rails for players who want their withdrawal processed outside standard banking hours. Here's exactly how deposits and withdrawals work, method by method.
Every payment method on Blaze is checked against the same standard: can an Australian player use it without a VPN, without a currency conversion fee, and without waiting days to see their balance update. PayID and POLi pass that test because they run through the domestic banking network you already use for everyday transfers. Cards and Neosurf cover players who prefer a prepaid or card-based option. Bitcoin and Tether (USDT) sit alongside them for players comfortable with crypto wallets, mainly because withdrawal speed on crypto rails isn't tied to bank processing windows.
Deposit Methods, Minimums and Times
All deposits at Blaze are processed free of charge on our end. We do not add a service fee to any deposit method listed below. Your own bank or card issuer may apply their own fee for international processing on card transactions; this sits outside our control and is worth checking with your provider if you're unsure.
| Method | Minimum deposit | Typical processing time | Blaze fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| PayID | AUD 20 | Instant to a few minutes | None |
| POLi | AUD 20 | Instant | None |
| Visa | AUD 20 | Instant to a few minutes | None |
| Mastercard | AUD 20 | Instant to a few minutes | None |
| Neosurf | AUD 20 | Instant | None |
| Bitcoin | AUD 30 equivalent | 10 to 60 minutes, network dependent | None |
| Tether (USDT) | AUD 30 equivalent | 5 to 30 minutes, network dependent | None |
Withdrawal Methods, Limits and Times
Withdrawals follow a verification check the first time you cash out, which is standard account security and not specific to one payment method. Once your account is verified, repeat withdrawals process faster. We don't charge a withdrawal fee on any method below. Processing time is split into two parts: the time Blaze takes to approve the request, and the time the payment rail itself takes to land in your account or wallet.
| Method | Minimum withdrawal | Blaze approval time | Funds arrival time | Blaze fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PayID | AUD 50 | Up to 24 hours | Instant to a few minutes | None |
| Bank transfer | AUD 50 | Up to 24 hours | 1 to 3 business days | None |
| Visa/Mastercard | AUD 50 | Up to 24 hours | 1 to 5 business days | None |
| Bitcoin | AUD 50 equivalent | Up to 24 hours | 10 to 60 minutes | None |
| Tether (USDT) | AUD 50 equivalent | Up to 24 hours | 5 to 30 minutes | None |
- PayID is our recommended withdrawal method for Australian players: no card network delay, no middleman bank hop.
- Crypto withdrawals suit players who want to move funds outside standard business hours, including weekends.
- Card withdrawals can take longer because the card networks, not Blaze, control the final leg of the transfer.
- Neosurf is deposit-only; it's a prepaid voucher system and can't receive funds back.
- Large withdrawal requests may be split into instalments in line with our standard terms. T&Cs apply.
Currency and Account Verification
Your Blaze balance is held in AUD. There's no conversion step for PayID, POLi, card or Neosurf deposits because they're already denominated in Australian dollars. Crypto deposits are converted to AUD at the prevailing rate at the time funds are credited, so the AUD figure in your balance may differ slightly from the fiat value when you sent it. Before your first withdrawal, we'll ask for a photo ID and, in some cases, proof of the payment method you're withdrawing to. This matches standard practice across regulated and reputable AUD-facing operators and protects both your account and ours against fraud.
Banking Hours and Support
Our payments team works on Australian timezone hours, so if a PayID transfer looks slow to land or a crypto withdrawal needs a second check, you're talking to someone awake during your afternoon, not waiting on an overnight queue overseas. Live chat is the fastest way to get a payment query looked at, and [email protected] is there for anything that needs a paper trail.

How Money Moves at Blaze
What's the fastest way to deposit AUD at Blaze?
PayID and POLi are both instant or near-instant for Australian bank accounts. PayID is the one most of our players use because it skips BSB and account number entry entirely.
Does Blaze charge fees on deposits or withdrawals?
No. Blaze does not apply a fee to any deposit or withdrawal method. Your own bank or card issuer may apply a fee on their side for certain card transactions, which is outside our control.
How long does a withdrawal take to reach my bank account?
Blaze approves withdrawal requests within 24 hours. Once approved, PayID transfers usually land within minutes, standard bank transfers take 1 to 3 business days, and card withdrawals can take up to 5 business days depending on the card network.
Can I deposit and withdraw using cryptocurrency?
Yes. Blaze accepts Bitcoin and Tether (USDT) for both deposits and withdrawals. Crypto withdrawals are usually the fastest option once your request is approved, often landing within the hour.
Why do I need to verify my ID before withdrawing?
Verification is a one-time check on your first withdrawal, confirming your identity and that the payment method is registered in your name. It protects your account from unauthorised access and is standard practice for AUD-facing operators.
