BPAY betting sites & bookmakers that accept BPAY deposits

BPAY - is a Made in Australia payment method, initially launched back in 1997. Initially, this payment method served as an electronic option for bill payment, but as the years passed and various technological innovations took place, BPAY found an outlet in other areas as well.

One of these is online gambling: in fact, there are plenty of BPAY betting sites that will allow you to deposit money through this convenient option.

We would like to inform you right away that since it is an electronic payment method designed primarily for utility payments, you will not be able to use BPAY as a withdrawal option.

Our research showed that BPAY is managed by Card link Services Limited, which, in turn, is managed by the major Australian banks, namely, Westpac, Commonwealth Bank, Australia and New Zealand Banking Group, and the National Australia Bank.

Before we go on to look specifically at the use of this payment methodology at betting sites, we thought we would provide you with some additional information on how BPAY works.

In order to properly use this payment option, customers must first ensure that the payee is a customer of an Australian financial institution properly registered for the services offered by BPAY.

After doing so, the person wishing to pay via BPAY will be required to enter the BPAY invoice number, the payment amount, and the reference number associated with it; in addition to this, they will also be asked for a debit account, which may also consist of a credit card (although not all financial institutions accept them).

In order to ensure the security of all transactions, an SMS containing a confirmation code may be sent when making a payment via BPAY. The user will be required to enter it in the appropriate field to actually confirm the transaction.

How to make a deposit via BPAY

Let's go into even more detail now, and see what steps need to be followed in order to properly make a deposit via BPAY within online bookmakers.

1. The very first thing to do is to find a betting site that fully supports BPAY as a payment option. Once you have found one, you can proceed to register with the site
2. When you have your verified game account, you will need to go to the Deposits section and click on "BPAY"
3. Here you will be asked to enter the amount of money you would like to deposit into your account
4. In order to confirm the transaction, you will need to enter all the required BPAY details related to your account

And that's it! Be forewarned, however, that it may take one to three business days before you actually see your funds credited.

As for deposit limitations, however, we have found that, potentially, there is no maximum deposit limit if you decide to use BPAY.

In any case, each betting site will decide to impose its own limits, which is why we recommend that you research more information about your chosen platform.

To give a practical example, on most of the sites we have analysed and presented in this guide, the minimum deposit via BPay is $10; other sites, however, raise this minimum limit to as much as $25.

BPAY fees

From our research, it turns out that if you are not a financial institution, there are no fees when using BPAY to bet online.

For the sake of the record, BPAY goes to charge 26.95 cents (regardless of the amount) per transaction, but only if you make payments between financial institutions.

BPay betting bonuses

Another very important parameter that our Experts go to check when analysing betting sites consists of the portfolio of Promotions and Bonuses.

After some research, we have managed to compile a list of what, currently, are the most common types of promotional offers you will be able to find:

• Welcome Bonus - In the vast majority of cases, a BPay betting site's Welcome Bonus is the most sensationalistic and highest reward of all. As the name implies, however, it is reserved exclusively for players who decide to sign up for the first time on such a platform. Before you sign up for a Welcome Bonus with your eyes closed, we advise you to pay close attention to the Terms and Conditions of such an offer, so that you can avoid collecting a Bonus that you will not be able to take advantage of 100%.
• No Deposit Bonuses - Of all the major types of promotional offers, the No Deposit Bonus certainly represents the most popular one among bettors. For those who do not know what we are talking about, a No Deposit Bonus consists of free cash, with no need to reload your account. You will also be able to get some interesting winnings from this bonus, which is why bettors love it so much. In any case, you will still have to pay attention to the T&Cs and wagering requirements present, in order to avoid "burning" this opportunity offered to you.
• Deposit Bonus - The most common type of promotional offer that you will be able to find on this type of site, is the Deposit Bonus. As the name implies, this is very simply an additional Bonus on the reload you are going to make on your gaming account. To give a practical example, if the Bonus is 100% on your deposit, and you decide to deposit $100, you will end up with $200 on your gaming account. Again, there will be wagering requirements to be met to make the bonus real and therefore withdrawable.
• Cashback Bonus - The last main type of Bonus we managed to unearth in BPay betting sites is the Cashback Bonus. This is a refund (usually calculated as a percentage or upon reaching a predetermined amount set by the Operator) that will cover part of your losses, accumulated over a given period of time. This is perhaps one of the most convenient Bonuses for bettors to take advantage of, since T&Cs are, usually, quite simple to follow and comply with.
