Short answer
On Gamdom bank deposits, the cashier is crypto-first with a US$ balance and no AUD wallet, so a bank's own rules on gambling and crypto payments matter. Four of the six banks compared here publish a gambling block you can switch on, and several decline or cap payments to crypto exchanges. The table sorts all six.

Gamdom Bank Deposits and How the Cashier Works
Gamdom is operated by Moon Revolution Limitada, Costa Rica, under a licence from the Government of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros. Its cashier does not look like a bank's: it starts from crypto, adds fiat routes run by third parties, and keeps every balance in US dollars.
Crypto first: Gamdom's FAQ names nine coins, from BTC and ETH to USDT, SOL and DOGE. KYC Level 1 comes before depositing.
Fiat through partners: a "Buy Crypto" and "Fiat Deposit" on-ramp is provided by Swapped, and a card route runs through a processor with a US$5-US$500 range in Gamdom's settings.
US$ balance: limits are quoted in US$ and the betting currency is switched to USD. There is no AUD wallet. See the free spins guide for the currency rule.
Withdrawals: crypto payouts are "typically fast", with no hour limit stated. Fiat goes by bank transfer or e-wallet "depending on your region".

"Yes, 48h" means a block exists and takes 48 hours to switch off. "Blocked, capped" is ANZ Plus: payments to crypto exchanges are blocked unless the customer overrides, then limited to A$10,000 a month. "Some declined" means certain exchanges are refused. "Group blocks" is Westpac Group wording, as St.George has no crypto page of its own. "Not published" means the bank's pages do not say.
How to Choose: What to Look For in a Bank's Rules
Whatever casino you have in mind, five questions sort the useful bank pages from the vague ones.
- Is there a gambling block?
Four of six publish one, covering debit only (Suncorp Bank) or debit and credit (St.George, ING).
- Where do you switch it on?
An app, internet banking or the phone. ING is phone only.
- How long does it take to come off?
48 hours at ANZ and Suncorp Bank, up to 2 business days at St.George. A delay protects you from a bad moment.
- What does the bank say about crypto exchanges?
Declines, holds, caps or silence. The wording matters more than the headline.
- Which account type and group?
ANZ Plus and classic ANZ are documented differently, and group ownership does not always mean shared rules.
Gambling Blocks, Bank by Bank
A gambling block is a self-control tool: you ask the bank to refuse card payments it identifies as gambling.
ANZ
Switched on in the ANZ App (version 4.32 or above), not Internet Banking. It covers most domestic and overseas gambling transactions. Removal takes 48 hours. ATM cash and BPAY are not blocked.
Suncorp Bank
The "Gambling Lock" for Visa Debit sits under Cards in the app and stays on for 48 hours after you switch it off. Its credit cards cannot be used for gambling.
St.George
Covers eligible debit and credit cards, set in Internet Banking or by phone. It reads the "Betting/Casino Gambling" merchant category. Removal may take up to 2 business days.
ING
A block on Visa debit or credit cards, arranged by phone, for merchants registered as gambling services. A cooling-off period is not published.
ubank
No gambling block is published, only a card lock and payment-type controls.
Great Southern Bank
No adult block is published. Its Everyday Youth debit card restricts gambling until age 18.
None of the six names merchant code 7995. Banks work from merchant data, and Suncorp Bank says merchants not listed as gambling businesses may not be blocked, so treat a block as a strong brake, not a guarantee.
Crypto Payments and Where Banks Step In
Crypto matters because Gamdom is crypto-first and banks are tightening payments to exchanges. The reason given is always scams: Westpac said in May 2023 that a third of scam payments went straight to an exchange.
- May 2023
Westpac begins trialling new protections for some cryptocurrency payments.
- April 2024
ING starts declining transactions to some cryptocurrency exchanges,.
- 18 March 2025
Suncorp Bank begins holding higher-risk Osko payments for 24 hours.
- 20 March 2025
ANZ announces Crypto Protect, which turns off payments to crypto exchanges for ANZ Plus customers unless they override it.
- 24 March 2025
Westpac Group lists "cryptocurrency blocks" for payments to certain high-risk digital currency exchanges.
ubank gives no date: a PayID payment to a restricted exchange is declined with "Couldn't find the PayID". Great Southern Bank publishes no crypto-exchange policy.
The Numbers That Matter
These are bank figures in Australian dollars, not Gamdom figures. ANZ's monthly limit does not roll over and cannot be altered. The A$5,000 cap is fixed at ING and Great Southern Bank and is Suncorp Bank's default. ANZ, St.George and ubank publish no matching number.
The 2023 Credit and Digital Currency Law, Explained
The law behind many headlines is the Interactive Gambling Amendment (Credit and Other Measures) Act 2023, assented to on 11 December 2023. Its credit part has been in force since 11 June 2024. Four misunderstandings are common.
The ban stops every Australian using a card or crypto for gambling.
It bars providers of regulated interactive wagering services from accepting credit cards and digital currency from customers physically in Australia.
It makes customers liable.
The offence is on the provider, with penalties of 500 penalty units.
It covers every kind of online gambling.
It concerns wagering services, meaning sports and racing betting. Other kinds sit elsewhere in the Interactive Gambling Act 2001.
It is why banks block crypto exchanges.
The bank pages cite fraud and scams. None of them ties its crypto rule to this Act.
Local rules are on the Western Australia and Australian Capital Territory pages.
Scam Signals Worth Knowing
The National Anti-Scam Centre's March 2026 report puts reported 2025 scam losses at A$2.18 billion. In Scamwatch data, crypto and digital currency exchanges accounted for 36.2% of losses, A$121.3 million.
Safer signs
- An exchange you can find on AUSTRAC's public register of virtual asset service providers.
- You started the contact. ING's alert says genuine providers will not ask you to pay in cryptocurrency or send money to an individual account.
Warning signs
- A "gambling" contact that asks for PayID, crypto, a bank transfer or a card, the pattern ANZ's gambling scams page calls "scambling".
- An investment "opportunity" arriving through Discord or Telegram.
The AUSTRAC register shows whether an exchange is registered. That is an anti-money-laundering listing and says nothing about any casino cashier.
Who This Page Does Not Suit
This is not a funding guide
Gamdom's terms list Australia among the countries where it does not offer services to people located in or resident there, and say accounts opened from restricted places can be restricted. This page explains how banks behave and how Gamdom's cashier is built. It does not tell anyone how to send money to Gamdom.
It will also disappoint:
- Anyone hoping for a bank recommendation. Rules differ, and your account type decides which apply.
- Anyone expecting an AUD balance. Gamdom has none.

Gamdom Banks FAQ
Does Gamdom accept bank deposits?
Gamdom's cashier is crypto-first. Fiat goes through third parties: a "Buy Crypto" and "Fiat Deposit" on-ramp run by Swapped, and a card route with a US$5-US$500 range in Gamdom's settings. The balance is in US$, with no AUD wallet. Gamdom's terms list Australia as a country it does not offer services to, so this page describes no funding route.
Does Gamdom have an AUD wallet?
No. Gamdom states limits in US$ (for example a US$1,000 maximum slot bet) and shows crypto in coin units. Any A$ figure on this page belongs to a bank, not to Gamdom.
Can I block gambling on my bank card?
Four of the six banks compared publish a gambling block: ANZ, Suncorp Bank, St.George and ING. ING sets it up by phone. Great Southern Bank and ubank do not publish one for adult cards.
How long does it take to remove a gambling block?
ANZ and Suncorp Bank apply a 48 hour delay. St.George says removal may take up to 2 business days. ING, ubank and Great Southern Bank do not publish a cooling-off period.
Why do some banks decline payments to crypto exchanges?
They cite scam prevention. ING has declined payments to some exchanges since April 2024, ubank declines PayID payments to some, and ANZ Plus blocks them by default through Crypto Protect.
Does the 2023 credit card and digital currency ban apply to me as a customer?
No. The Interactive Gambling Amendment (Credit and Other Measures) Act 2023 puts the duty on providers of regulated interactive wagering services, and its credit part has applied since 11 June 2024. It is not a rule about what your bank allows.
Know the rules
Read the Bank Pages First
The best protection is knowing what your bank blocks, holds and declines before any payment is made. Gamdom's cashier is crypto-first and in US$.
