There is no legal restriction on using credit cards to purchase lottery products online as lotteries are exempt from the federal government’s Interactive Gambling Amendment (Credit and Other Measures) Bill 2023.
However, you should verify with your financial institution any specific policies they may have related to gambling transactions that may impact your payment method.
Alternative payment methods for topping up funds within your online account include:
- Debit card
- BPAY
- Direct deposit
- PayPal (via a bank account or debit card – except Mastercard).
