E-wallet pokies at ii89
Six ways to deposit, three wallets that pay you back

Which e-wallets can you use at ii89?

Six. Skrill, Neteller and Payz work both ways: deposits are instant and withdrawals reach the wallet within 5 minutes. eZeeWallet, Apple Pay and Google Pay are for deposits, which are also instant. All six start at AU$10, and ii89 charges no fee on any of them.

Withdrawals start at AU$30 and go to Skrill, Neteller, Payz or PayID. That means a player who deposits by Apple Pay, for example, still gets paid quickly; the payout simply goes to one of those four instead.

How do the six compare?

There is no maximum deposit on any of the six. The payout speed of the three wallets matches PayID at ii89, so speed is never the reason to choose one over another.

How does paying by e-wallet actually work?

A stored-value e-wallet sits between your bank and the casino. You add money to the wallet once, from your bank account or a card, inside the wallet's own app. From then on you pay ii89 out of the wallet balance, and ii89 pays winnings back into it. Your bank sees only the top-ups, not each casino payment.

Skrill, Neteller, Payz and eZeeWallet are all stored-value wallets. Apple Pay and Google Pay work differently: they are a secure way to approve a card payment from your phone, so the money still comes from the card saved in them. With no balance of their own, they have nowhere to receive a payout.

Two practical consequences follow. A wallet deposit is only as quick as the wallet's balance is ready, so top up before you sit down to play. And when you want winnings in your bank, a wallet payout needs one more move inside the wallet app, while a PayID payout lands in the bank directly.

Skrill, Neteller or Payz: which one?

At ii89 the three have identical terms, so the choice is about you rather than the casino.

Skrill

If you already have a Skrill account from online shopping or sending money, use it. Deposits go through after you sign in to Skrill from the ii89 deposit page, and a payout lands in the same Skrill balance within 5 minutes.

Neteller

Neteller suits anyone who wants a wallet used mainly for entertainment spending, separate from day-to-day payments. The deposit and payout steps match Skrill's, and the email registered to your Neteller account is the detail that links the two sides.

Payz

Payz is the natural pick if it is the wallet you already know. Terms at ii89 are the same: instant in, within 5 minutes out, no ii89 fee.

Whichever you choose, register it in the same name as your ii89 account. A mismatch between names is one of the few things that can hold up a payment.

What about eZeeWallet, Apple Pay and Google Pay?

All three add money to your ii89 balance at once, from AU$10, with no fee. They do not receive winnings.

eZeeWallet is a stored-value wallet. If it is where you keep spending money, it is a fine way to fund play; just set up a payout route as well.

Apple Pay and Google Pay are the fastest way to deposit from a phone. Choose the method, enter the amount, and confirm with Face ID, a fingerprint or your passcode. Because they charge the card behind them, the card issuer can decline a casino payment. If that happens, check with your bank, or switch to PayID or a wallet.

What does a first e-wallet deposit look like?

1. Top up your wallet in its app if the balance is short. Skip this for Apple Pay or Google Pay.
2. Log in to ii89 and open the deposit page.
3. Pick the wallet and type an amount of AU$10 or more.
4. Sign in to the wallet in the window that opens, or confirm on your phone, and approve.
5. Back on ii89, the balance already shows the deposit.

Keep the wallet's confirmation until you see the money in your balance. Its reference number is the fastest way for support to trace a payment.

How do you get paid to a wallet?

1. Check your balance is AU$30 or more.
2. Open the withdrawal page and choose Skrill, Neteller or Payz.
3. Enter the amount and the wallet details the form asks for.
4. Submit. The money reaches the wallet within 5 minutes.

For example: you finish with AU$62. You withdraw AU$50 to Payz and leave AU$12 to play another day. The AU$50 is in your Payz balance within 5 minutes, ready to spend from Payz or send on to your bank.

Should you use a wallet or PayID?

Both pay out within 5 minutes at ii89, and PayID's payout time is guaranteed. PayID sends money straight to your bank account using an identifier such as your phone number or email, over the Osko real-time network. Use the situations below to decide.

• You want winnings in your everyday account with no extra step: PayID.
• You would rather your bank statement did not list casino payments: a wallet, since the bank only sees top-ups.
• You like a fixed pot for entertainment money: a wallet. What is in it is what you have to play with.
• You do not have a PayID set up: you can still deposit by PayID, because sending to a PayID does not need one of your own. You need one only to receive a payout, so a wallet may be quicker to get going.

Before any PayID payment, your banking app shows the name registered to the PayID, so you can confirm you are paying the right account. ii89 PayID guides cover setting one up, and banking at ii89 compares all nine payment methods.

Can you deposit one way and withdraw another?

Yes. Your ii89 balance does not keep track of which method filled it, so any deposit can be withdrawn through any of the four payout methods.

Keeping one method for both directions is simplest to track, but mixing does not slow anything down.

What if a wallet payment goes wrong?

The wallet shows a debit, ii89 shows nothing. Refresh ii89 first. If the wallet lists the payment as pending, it has not completed on the wallet's side; give it a moment.

A payout has not reached the wallet. Check the wallet email or account detail you entered against the one the wallet holds. Then check the wallet's incoming transactions rather than only the balance.

A phone payment was declined. That decision sits with your card issuer. Check with your bank, or use another method.

Is paying by e-wallet safe?

An e-wallet adds a layer between your bank details and the casino: ii89 sees the wallet, not your card or account numbers. The wallet login then becomes the thing to protect. Turn on two-step sign-in in the wallet app, use a password that you use nowhere else, and approve payments only in a window you opened from the ii89 deposit page.

Be wary of messages that claim a payout is waiting and ask you to sign in through a link to release it. ii89 does not ask for wallet passwords by email or chat. If something looks odd, close it, open the wallet app yourself, and check with ii89 live chat.
