Myths about free payments: what is real

1. What do you mean "free payments"

Many casinos advertise deposits and conclusions without commission, creating the illusion that the player does not pay for transactions at all. In fact, this is not always the case: some of the commissions may be hidden in currency conversion, additional bank fees or restrictions on the part of payment systems.

2. Basic myths about free payments

Myth 1. Casino always covers fees
In practice, only a part of the operators compensates for the costs. More often, the casino relieves itself of responsibility, and the fees fall on the player.
Myth 2. Deposits and conclusions are equally free
Deposits really almost always pass without commission, but conclusions are a risk area. The commission can be fixed or percentage.
Myth 3. E-wallets are always free
Skrill, Neteller or PayPal may charge fees when replenishing the wallet itself or when withdrawing to a card/account.
Myth 4. There are no fees with cryptocurrency
Yes, casinos often do not charge fees for crypto payments, but the blockchain network requires payment for transactions (gas fee), which depends on the load.
Myth 5. Use of AUD eliminates all costs
Playing in Australian dollars reduces the risk of conversion, but a bank or payment operator can still charge fixed fees.

3. The reality of free transactions

Deposits: most often really without fees from the casino. But intermediaries (bank, wallet) can take a fee.
Conclusions: the conditions depend on the specific platform. Some casinos allow one free withdrawal per week, the rest of the operations are paid by the player.
Bank cards: Even if the casino does not take fees, the bank can charge a fee for processing an international transfer.
Electronic wallets and cryptocurrency: fast and convenient, but they cannot be called completely free due to internal fees for services.

4. How a player can't fall for myths

Check the "Banking" section of the casino website.
Compare the conditions of not only casinos, but also payment systems.
Avoid currency conversion: it is better to choose AUD.
Use promotions where the casino covers fees or offers free withdrawals once a week.

5. Result

"Free payments" is a marketing term that does not always reflect reality. In 90% of cases, deposits do pass without commission, but when withdrawing funds, the player almost always faces costs. To minimize costs, you need to choose the right casino, the right payment method and monitor hidden conditions.
