Credit cards no longer accepted

As of 11 June 2024, Government Regulations changed to prohibit the use of credit cards and payment methods linked to a credit card (such as digital wallets and BPAY) when making deposits for online wagering. This includes the use of credit cards as a payment source for Apple Pay, and PayPal e-wallet deposit methods.

Debit cards (debit only) are not impacted by these changes and can continue to be used as a payment method with Sportsbet. See the Government Regulations here:

Please note, a single card that is linked to both credit and debit accounts cannot be accepted.

The difference between credit and debit cards

Debit cards transact using money from an everyday or savings account and transfer funds directly from the available account balance in real time.

• Credit cards work like a small loan and transact using the bank’s money up to a set credit card limit. Any money spent becomes a debt that needs to be repaid to the bank. Please note - To ensure compliance with the Regulations, Sportsbet will restrict deposits from credit cards and credit card deposits via digital wallets from 10 June 2024.
• BPAY deposits to your Sportsbet account using credit cards are no longer accepted as of Thursday, 6 June 2024.
