Australian Dollars Casinos
While most Australian dollars are traded within the Commonwealth of Australia, it is often used for international transactions. Various e-wallets and other deposit methods are now available to Australians to make depositing into online casino easy. To ensure that players from Australia can play without difficulty, many online casinos allow players from Australia and around the world to play in Australian dollars.
The “$” Symbol and Australian Dollars
Certain online casinos use the “$” (dollar) symbol to denote acceptance of Australian dollars. However, it is more frequently used to represent US dollars; Australian dollars are usually abbreviated to AUD$. If you see the “$” symbol in a casino's banking page, you should check to make sure what it represents before attempting to deposit with Australian dollars.
Exchanging Australian Dollars
If you live in a country that does not use Australian dollars but cannot deposit in your local currency at a particular casino, you should first check to make sure that you can play at the casino for real money. Then, if that casino accepts Australian dollars, ask if they can convert your currency to Australian dollars automatically. If not, numerous online exchange services will buy your currency and sell you Australian dollars for a small fee. Just make sure you have a way of getting the money to your casino account.
Banking with Australian Dollars
Residents of Australia and other countries that use the Australian dollar as their official currency can deposit into online casinos with ease. Although credit card use is somewhat restricted in Australia, there are a number of e-wallet services that offer easy funding and instant deposits. Most feature free online registration and low transaction fees. Check with your casino's support if you have questions about these methods.
If you live elsewhere, depositing with Australian dollars will be much more difficult. Some online casinos may even restrict use of Australian dollars to residents of Australia and its surrounding territories. However, major international e-wallets will likely be an option, as well as bank wire transfers or money orders.
