Apple Pay has become a widely used method for Australian consumers to make payments from their Apple devices including the iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad and Mac.  Given the prevalence of Apple devices and the popularity of sports betting in Australia, many people are made to wonder which betting sites accept Apple Pay.  The good news is that several Australian online bookies do indeed support Apple Pay - but not all.  Thus below, we have listed our Apple Pay betting sites.  (Apple Pay was noted as accepted as of June 29, 2021. Please see the given provider site for the most up to date payment information.)  

Established in the year 2000, bet365 offers an extremely intuitive, easy-to-use experience.  With so many betting markets available, betting sites can have convoluted interfaces.  We found bet365 to be very easy to navigate and were able to find what we wanted when we wanted it on both mobile and desktop platforms.  We also found banking to be an extremely simple process with many options available in our desired currency.  When we needed customer support to address a login issue, the help received was instant and courteous.

Unibet was established in 1998, from Stockholm, Sweden.  Publically listed on the NASDAQ OMX Nordic Exchang under the Kindred Group PLC, Unibet serves over 10 million account holders from over 100 countries.  Unibet has been a pioneer in gaming innovations involving live betting, mobile betting and security and player safety in terms of problem gambling detection.  Unibet has also become a license holder in many European countries where regulation is heightened.  Unibet accepts BPAY, Poli Payments, PayPal, Visa and MasterCard from Australian customers.  

How do Apple Pay payments work with regard to my online bookmaker in Australia?

This can vary from bookmaker to bookmaker.  Some bookies may only employ use of Apple Pay within their official iOS app.  Other bookies may allow you to use Apple Pay in its app and on its website when accessing via Safari.  To transfer funds, click on 'Deposit' and select Apple Pay from the list of available payment methods. Enter your deposit amount, click 'Pay' and select which Debit Card from your Apple Wallet you would like the funds to be debited from.  After confirming your payment using Touch ID or your Apple Passcode, the amount will be instantly credited to your betting account.

What are the fees to use Apple Pay with a betting site?

There are usually no fees on transactions to use Apple Pay itself - it's free.  Depending on your banking plan, you may have debit fees - but these are separate from Apple Pay.

Can I make withdrawals from my betting site with Apple Pay?

No. Apple Pay is not built to handle withdrawals. If you need to make a withdrawal, it will most likely need to come via bank transfer.

What are the transaction limits for Apple Pay with betting sites in Australia?

On the lower end, minimum deposits via Apple Pay can be $5 (Unibet) up to $10.  The maximum deposit limit via Apple Pay can vary much more significantly between providers.  At Unibet, the maximum Apple Pay deposit is $100, while at other providers, the maximum deposit can be as high as $10,000.

Whose Apple Pay wallet can be used to fund my betting site account?

The name on the base funding source (like bank debit card) needs to be in the same name as the name on the betting account.  If the names do not match, there could be complications in recovering funds from the betting site.  Using a funding source with a different name from that on your betting account may also result in the suspension of your betting account.
