How much can you deposit at ii89?

How much can you deposit at ii89?

As little as AU$10, on any of the nine payment methods. There is no maximum deposit. In practice, the amount you can put in at one time is shaped by two other things: the rules of your own bank, card or wallet, and any personal deposit limit you ask ii89 to apply. This page explains all of it, then shows how to choose a limit that matches your budget.

What are the minimums on each method?

ii89 charges no fee on any deposit. The Bitcoin network takes a fee for each transfer, which your wallet shows before you send; ii89 adds nothing to it.

Which method fits the amount you have in mind?

• AU$10 to AU$20, just to try the lobby. Anything works, so choose a method that can also pay you back: PayID, Skrill, Neteller or Payz. That saves setting up a second route later.
• A planned weekly amount. The instant methods let you deposit at the start of a session and see the money straight away. Bitcoin's 10–30 minute wait suits a deposit made ahead of time rather than on the spot.
• A larger single deposit. ii89 doesn't stop it, but your bank or wallet might. Read the next section before you try.

What limits might your bank or wallet apply?

ii89 sets the AU$10 floor and no ceiling. The parties on your side of the payment have their own rules, and they differ from person to person:

A useful rule: if a deposit never left your account, the hold-up is on your side, and your bank or wallet can explain it. If it left and didn't appear in your ii89 balance, contact ii89 live chat, which is open 24/7.

Does the deposit method decide how you get paid?

It decides whether you can be paid the same way. Deposit by PayID, Skrill, Neteller or Payz and that method can also take your winnings, within 5 minutes. Deposit by card, Bitcoin, eZeeWallet, Apple Pay or Google Pay and you will need one of those four for the payout instead, so set it up early. Payout speed for every method is on ii89 withdrawal times.

How do an AU$10 deposit and an AU$30 withdrawal fit together?

The smallest deposit and the smallest withdrawal are different amounts. AU$10 starts you playing; you need AU$30 or more in your balance to cash out. Two hypothetical players show the effect:

• Player one deposits AU$10 by PayID to try a new pokie. The balance ends at AU$16. That stays in the ii89 account until a later session, because it is under AU$30.
• Player two deposits AU$30 by Skrill and finishes on AU$41. The whole AU$41 can go back to Skrill within 5 minutes.

Neither is wrong. Just choose your first deposit knowing that small balances wait rather than come back, and never top up purely to reach AU$30.

Why set a limit when ii89 doesn't?

Because the absence of an upper amount puts the decision with you, and decisions made mid-session are rarely the best ones. Instant deposits make topping up quick: the money is there before you've had time to think twice. A limit set on a calm day moves that thinking to before the session. It also means a bad night has a known floor. If your limit is AU$50 a week, the worst week costs AU$50.

Can you limit your own deposits at ii89?

Yes, and because ii89 sets no upper amount, this is the tool that puts one in place. A personal deposit limit is a figure you choose for a period, such as a day, a week or a month. Once your deposits for that period add up to the figure, you stop until the next period begins.

Ask for one in your ii89 account settings or through the support team. Tell them the amount and the period, and ask them to confirm what the limit covers and when it starts. If you later want it changed, ask the same two questions, as a higher figure may not take effect immediately.

ii89 support can also tell you about other controls, such as a time-out or self-exclusion. The ii89 staying in control page explains each.

Does a personal limit cover every payment method?

It should, and it's worth confirming. A limit that counted PayID deposits but not card or Bitcoin deposits would leave an easy way round it. When you ask ii89 support to set a limit, ask them to confirm it counts deposits from all nine methods together, and whether it runs on calendar days or from the moment you set it. Knowing exactly when the period resets avoids a surprise at the start of a session, and stops you planning a deposit around the reset time rather than around your budget.

What kinds of personal limit are there?

Gambling support services describe several controls. Each tackles a different habit, and they work well in combination.

Ask ii89 support which of these can be set on your account and how each works there.

How do you pick a limit that fits your budget?

Start with your income, not with the games. One straightforward approach, using hypothetical figures:

Set the period to match your pay. A fortnightly limit that resets on payday is easier to follow than a monthly one that resets mid-cycle. And count the whole AU$80 as spent the moment it is deposited; anything you later withdraw is a pleasant surprise, not part of the budget.

What does a sensible first month look like?

If you're new to ii89, a cautious first month makes the right limit obvious. Hypothetically:

• Week one: ask for a modest weekly limit, say AU$30, and deposit AU$10 at a time while you learn the lobby and try games in demo first.
• Weeks two and three: keep the same limit. Jot down each deposit and withdrawal.
• Week four: add up the notes. If AU$30 a week felt comfortable and fitted your budget, keep it. If you hit it every week and felt the pull to go further, lower it.

A month of real numbers is a far better guide than a figure picked on the first night.

What else helps you stick to it?

• Size your stake to the session. A stake of about one hundredth of the session's money gives roughly 100 spins if nothing comes back. With AU$20, that is AU$0.20 a spin.
• Make one planned deposit, not a string of top-ups. It keeps the total obvious.
• Use a wallet as your gambling purse. Load a Skrill, Neteller or Payz account with the period's amount and deposit only from there. When it's empty, you're done. See ii89 e-wallets.
• Put a time on the session. A phone timer is a simple way to notice when an hour has become three.
• Never chase a loss. A deposit to win back money already gone is the most common way a budget breaks.
• Use bank tools too. Some banks offer gambling blocks on cards or alerts on payments. Check with your bank what yours offers.

How does a deposit limit work alongside fast payouts?

ii89 pays withdrawals within 5 minutes, which is good news until the money lands in your bank and is just as quickly deposited again. A deposit limit closes that loop. Once the period's deposits reach your figure, a fresh payout can't flow straight back in. If you find yourself redepositing withdrawals often, consider withdrawing to a wallet or account you don't deposit from.

When should you lower your limit?

• You reach it every period, without fail.
• You notice yourself waiting for the reset.
• Your income has dropped or your costs have gone up.
• You've spent money meant for something else.

Any one of these is a reason to lower the figure, not raise it. Ask ii89 support when the change applies.

What if a limit isn't working?

If you keep reaching the limit and wanting more, if you're borrowing to play, or if gambling is causing arguments or stress, a limit alone is not enough. Ask ii89 support for a time-out or self-exclusion, and talk to someone. Gambling Help Online is free and confidential, any hour, on 1800 858 858.
