Banking & Deposits
- How Do I Deposit Funds?
Your BetNow account must be verified prior to depositing. You must deposit funds into your BetNow Customer Account before you will be able to place a bet. In order to make a Deposit, navigate to the 'Banking' tab within the 'My Account' section of the BetNow platform.
Deposit Methods
BetNow supports the following deposit methods:
- Debit Card:
In order to make your first Deposit via Debit Card you will first need to register the new card. Once you have made a successful deposit via a given Debit Card, the details of the Debit Card will be saved in your BetNow Customer Account so that you do not need to re-enter your details when making future deposits (unless your Debit Card expires).
If you use more than one card to deposit funds, all of your registered cards will be listed in the 'Use An Existing Card' section within 'My Account'.
BetNow may, at its discretion, require that you verify your ownership of any Debit Card that is used to fund your BetNow Customer Account. In such circumstances, you will need to provide us with a legible copy (or photograph) of the front and back of the relevant card. (When sending a copy of the card, the middle 8 digits of the Debit card may be redacted for security purposes.)
- Credit Cards:
Under Australian law, credit card deposits are no longer permitted for online wagering.

You can transfer funds to your BetNow electronically via your financial institution's website. Our Bank Account details are as follows:
