New PayID pokies Australia searches tend to mean two different things. Some people want brand-new games. Others want newly launched casinos that take PayID. This page is built around the first, with a plain note on the second further down. At the top you will find 14 pokies that you will see in operator lobbies, with the provider and the RTP each provider publishes. Where a provider does not publish a figure, we leave it blank rather than borrow one from a forum.

How to read the grid. RTP is the provider’s own published figure, and a casino can run a different version of the same game, so the in-game info panel has the final word. The games are examples we saw in operator lobbies. They are not a claim that all six casinos on our PayID pokies toplist carry every title. Category chips (Megaways, Hold and Win, Jackpot, High RTP) are our own descriptive tags based on each game’s name and published figures, not tags set by the providers.
New PayID Pokies Worth Knowing
“New” is easy to say and hard to prove, so we only attach it to games we can date from the provider’s own page.
The newest in our set is Hot Chilli Bells from BGaming, released on 24 January 2025. It publishes a 97% RTP and medium-low volatility, and the maximum win is listed as EUR 250,000. Goldenbet offers 300 wager-free spins on it on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays with a minimum deposit of A$50 and a cash-out cap of A$1,000, which makes it a good way to try the game without a wagering multiple attached.
Next comes Coin Strike: Hold and Win from Playson, released on 27 April 2023. The provider’s own page would not load for us, so we have its release date from a search excerpt and print no RTP. Wanted Dead or a Wild from Hacksaw Gaming is a game we cannot date, because the provider page we read gives no release date. It does publish a highest RTP version of 96.38%, a 4 out of 5 volatility rating on its own scale and a maximum win of 12,500 times your stake.
Older titles are still the ones people search for by name. Rich Wilde and the Book of Dead from Play’n GO was released on 14 January 2016, and its sequel Legacy of Dead followed on 2 January 2020. Elvis Frog in Vegas from BGaming was released on 13 May 2020. All Lucky Clovers from BGaming has been around since September 2020. For all of them, an older game is not a worse game, and its familiar features are often why it stays in lobbies.
Pokies Categories Explained
Casinos sort pokies into categories, and the names are worth understanding because they describe how a game plays.
Megaways. The number of ways to win changes on every spin because reels carry a variable number of symbols. Buffalo King Megaways from Pragmatic Play is the Megaways title in our grid, with a published RTP of 96.52%.
Hold and Win. Special coin or cash symbols lock in place and trigger a respin round. Coin Strike: Hold and Win from Playson is the example here. Spinjo lists Hold and Win as its own lobby category, and SkyCrown’s welcome offer names a Hold and Win game.
Jackpot. A jackpot game has one or more fixed or progressive prizes. Wolf Gold from Pragmatic Play mentions a Mega Jackpot of 1,000 times the stake on the provider’s page. Spinjo also lists a jackpot category.
High RTP. This is our own tag, applied to games whose published RTP is 96.5% or higher: Big Bass Bonanza (96.71%), Hot Chilli Bells (97%), All Lucky Clovers (97%), Buffalo King Megaways (96.52%), Gates of Olympus (96.50%), Starlight Princess (96.50%) and Sugar Rush (96.50%). Sweet Bonanza sits just under the line at 96.48%.
Bonus buy. Some lobbies let you pay a multiple of your stake to jump straight into the feature round. Spinjo lists bonus buy as a lobby category. We do not tag individual games with it, because none of the 14 has a bonus buy feature that the providers’ pages we read confirm. It is also a way to burn through a balance very fast, so set your stake with that in mind.
RTP and Volatility: What the Numbers Mean
RTP stands for return to player. A 96.50% RTP, as published for Gates of Olympus, Starlight Princess and Sugar Rush, means that over a huge number of spins, the game is designed to return 96.50 of every 100 wagered. The other 3.50 is the house edge. It is an average across millions of spins. In one session you can finish far above or far below it, and no pattern in the spins will tell you which.
The spread between our games is smaller than people expect. Wolf Gold is the lowest in the Pragmatic group at 96.01% and Elvis Frog in Vegas is the lowest in the grid at 95.3%. The highest is 97%. That is under two percentage points from top to bottom, so RTP is a tiebreaker, not a strategy.
Volatility is about the shape of the ride. Low volatility pays smaller wins more often. High volatility pays less often and in larger amounts. Providers describe it differently, which is why we only print it where the provider does: Elvis Frog in Vegas is medium-high, Hot Chilli Bells is medium-low and Wanted Dead or a Wild is 4 out of 5 on Hacksaw’s scale. For All Lucky Clovers the sources we found disagree on how to label it, so we print none.
Playing a high RTP game does not make you more likely to win this session. It just means a slightly lower expected cost per spin. Nothing here is a tip for beating pokies, because there isn’t one.
Choosing a Pokie for Your Budget
A game’s RTP does not tell you how long a balance will last. Your stake does. A A$30 deposit gives you 60 spins at A$0.50 a spin, or 30 at A$1, before any wins are counted. Wins stretch that, losses shorten it, and the maths above is only the starting point. Picking a stake that gives you a comfortable number of spins is more useful than picking the game with the highest RTP.
If you are playing with a bonus, the maximum bet matters too. Casinos on our list cap it at A$7 to A$8 while a bonus is active, and betting near the cap burns through wagering and balance at the same time. A stake well below the cap is usually the safer way to play through a bonus.
Match volatility to your patience as well. A medium-low game such as Hot Chilli Bells suits shorter sessions, while a 4 out of 5 volatility title like Wanted Dead or a Wild can go a long time without a meaningful win. Neither is better. They simply feel different, and it helps to know which one you have chosen before you start.
Finally, play the demo first if the lobby offers one. It costs nothing, shows you the features and tells you whether you enjoy the game at all.
New PayID Casinos vs New PayID Pokies
Searches for “new PayID casino” usually want the latest site that accepts PayID. We list six reviewed sites, and we do not claim any launch dates for them. We would rather be honest about that than guess at ages. What we can say is that SkyCrown shows PayID on its Australian payments page, and that the PayID availability for the other five depends on what your cashier shows after registration.
A newer casino is not automatically better. If a site has no track record of paying winners and no named licence holder, newer means less information, not more. All six casinos we list are offshore. They hold Curacao or Tobique licences and none holds an Australian licence, so none of them is covered by an Australian regulator. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 prohibits providing online pokies to people in Australia, and ACMA blocks illegal sites it identifies. Our PayID safety page explains what that means in practice.
Play PayID Pokies on Mobile
Most Australian players deposit and play on a phone, and PayID suits that. You open the cashier in your mobile browser or in the casino’s app, pick PayID where it is offered, enter the amount, then switch to your banking app and approve the payment. The same device does both jobs, which cuts down on typing errors.
Spinjo lists an app. National Casino and Bizzo Casino each offer 10 free spins for installing theirs, with a A$75 cap on cash-out and x40 wagering, and activation within three days. We have details on those in the no deposit bonus guide.
Practical tips for mobile play:
- Check the name in your banking app before you approve a payment. Small screens make it easier to skip.
- Turn on your bank’s notifications so you can see every payment as it leaves.
- Keep a separate low daily limit on the account you use, set in your banking app.
- Avoid saving payment details on a shared phone.
- Use a stable connection. A dropped connection mid-deposit is a common reason for a payment that shows in your bank but not at the casino. If that happens, keep the receipt and contact support rather than paying again.
For a step-by-step on deposits and the bank limit table, see how to use PayID. If you are working with a smaller budget, the $10 PayID casino page shows what the minimum deposits really are.
Before You Spin
Pokies are paid entertainment. Decide your budget before you deposit, never chase losses and take breaks. If you want to find out where the six sites stand on bonuses and PayID, the full comparison is on our PayID pokies home page.

What are the newest PayID pokies?
In our set of 14, the newest dated release is Hot Chilli Bells by BGaming, released on 24 January 2025. Coin Strike: Hold and Win by Playson followed an April 2023 launch. We only call a game new when we can date it, and we do not claim any launch dates for titles we cannot confirm.
Which pokies have the highest RTP?
Of the games in our grid that publish an RTP, Hot Chilli Bells and All Lucky Clovers, both by BGaming, are the highest at 97%. Big Bass Bonanza follows at 96.71%. RTP is a long-run average, not a prediction for your session.
Can I play pokies on my phone with PayID?
Yes. You enter the deposit in the casino cashier on your phone and approve the payment in your banking app. Spinjo lists an app, and National Casino and Bizzo Casino give 10 free spins for installing theirs.
Do all casinos have the same RTP for a game?
Not always. Some providers publish more than one version of a game. Hacksaw Gaming lists four RTP versions of Wanted Dead or a Wild, from 88.42% to 96.38%. Check the info panel inside the game to see which version you are playing.
Do pokies pay out more with PayID?
No. The payment method has no effect on a game's RTP or outcomes. PayID only changes how money reaches your casino balance.
Are there demo versions?
Some casinos offer demo play in their lobby. We have not verified this for each of the six sites, so check the game tile or the lobby on the one you choose.
