Stay Casino Fees and Commissions Explained

Check what each method actually costs

Start with the good news. Stay Casino does not charge a house commission on deposits or withdrawals. Fund your account with A$20 and A$20 lands in your balance; request A$200 out and A$200 is what leaves the cashier. No percentage is clipped on the way through.

That does not always mean the trip is free end to end. A handful of charges can attach to a payment, but they belong to the parties around the transaction rather than to the casino. A bank card sent internationally can pick up a foreign-transaction fee from your issuer. A crypto withdrawal carries a network fee, paid to the blockchain, not to Stay Casino. Some prepaid vouchers add a small purchase cost at the point you buy them. The table below shows where each cost sits so nothing catches you out.

Read the table row by row and one pattern jumps out. The middle column is where every real cost lives, and it is never the casino taking it. That is the difference between a fee you can avoid and one you are stuck with, and it decides which method makes sense for the amount you are moving. You can see the full list of supported options on the payments page before you commit.

It also helps to separate the two kinds of cost by how predictable they are. A card foreign-transaction fee is fixed and known in advance, usually a set percentage your issuer publishes, so you can budget for it to the cent. A blockchain network fee is variable and moves minute to minute with how busy the chain is. A bank handling charge sits somewhere between the two, flat on most accounts but not on all. Knowing which bucket a method falls into tells you whether the cost is worth planning around or simply avoiding by switching rail. Stay Casino runs under a Curaçao licence, and its no-commission policy on the cashier is the same across every one of these rows, so the choice comes down entirely to what your provider does at its end.

Keep more of your balance: how to sidestep the charges

Most of these costs are optional once you know the trick. Pick the right rail and the right settings, and a deposit or payout can travel with nothing shaved off it.

Match the currency first. Your account runs in AUD, so a card that also bills in AUD skips the foreign-transaction fee entirely. It is the single biggest saving for card players and it costs nothing to set up. If your card only bills in a foreign currency, the conversion fee follows every transaction, deposit and withdrawal alike.

Here is the order worth following before you move money:

1. Choose an AUD-billed card or an AUD wallet balance so no conversion applies.
2. Withdraw to the exact method you deposited with. Mismatched sources can trigger extra checks and, on some wallets, an extra transfer step that carries its own charge.
3. For crypto, send when the network is quiet. Blockchain fees swing with traffic, so an off-peak transfer costs a fraction of a busy-hour one.
4. Batch your cash-outs. Because there is no per-withdrawal commission, fewer larger requests beat many tiny ones when an outside rail does charge per transaction.
5. Stay above A$30 on withdrawals and inside the A$4,500 weekly cap so nothing gets split into separate transfers.

Do that and the only cost you might still meet is a blockchain network fee, which no casino controls. E-wallets and AUD cards clear with nothing extra attached. Worth a mention too: clear any active bonus wagering before you withdraw. The welcome offer of A$10,000 + 250 FS runs at x40 over 30 days, and funds locked to an open bonus cannot leave until that requirement is met, which has nothing to do with fees but stalls a payout just as effectively. If a charge appears you did not expect, live chat runs 24/7 and can tell you on the spot whether it came from the cashier or your provider.

One more habit saves money over time. Keep a single verified payment method on file rather than hopping between three or four. Every fresh method can prompt an ownership check, and switching from a card deposit to a wallet withdrawal, for instance, can route your cash through an extra hop that some providers bill for. Deposit and withdraw down the same channel and you skip both the check and any transfer cost tied to it. The A$30 withdrawal minimum matters here as well: sending many small requests near that floor multiplies any fixed outside fee, whereas one consolidated payout pays it once. For a player cashing out A$450 across a week, that is the difference between one charge and ten.

Watch the exchange rate when your currency is not AUD

Currency conversion is the quietest cost of the lot, and the one players notice last. Stay Casino settles everything in Australian dollars. If the money you fund with sits in another currency, a conversion happens somewhere along the way, and whoever performs it sets the rate and the margin.

Two spots do the converting. Your bank or card issuer handles it when the card bills in a non-AUD currency, and their rate usually bundles a small markup over the mid-market figure plus a fixed foreign-transaction percentage. For crypto, the swing comes from the coin's own price movement between the moment you send and the moment it credits, so a volatile hour can shift the AUD value of a Bitcoin deposit by a noticeable amount before it even hits your balance.

The fix is the same on both sides. Hold and spend in AUD wherever you can. An AUD card, an AUD wallet balance or a stablecoin pegged to a fiat value all sidestep the guesswork, because the amount you send is close to the amount that arrives. When you must convert, check the rate your provider quotes rather than assuming it matches the headline market rate. The gap between them is the real cost, and it is easy to see once you look for it. Keeping your deposit and withdrawal in the same currency also means you convert once at most, not twice.
