Instant EFT Deposits

1. Open the cashier, choose Deposit, then Instant EFT.
2. Enter the amount in rand and confirm.
3. Pick your bank from the list.
4. Log in through the secure bank session that opens and approve the payment.
5. You are returned to the cashier and the balance updates, normally straight away.

You are logging into your own bank inside that session, not handing credentials to the casino. It is the same pattern you already use paying for anything online in South Africa.

Instant EFT covers every major South African bank: FNB, Capitec, Standard Bank, Absa, Nedbank and TymeBank, plus African Bank, Discovery Bank, Investec, Bidvest Bank and Bank Zero.

If you bank with Capitec, Capitec Pay is worth comparing — it approves the payment inside the Capitec app with no banking details entered anywhere at all. Ozow is the other pay-by-bank route and works much the same way.

Two things account for nearly every failed Instant EFT deposit.

The session timed out. Bank sessions expire quickly for security. If you stopped to find your password or an OTP took too long, the payment may not have completed at all — check your bank balance before assuming it did.

Money left your account but the balance did not update. Refresh once and wait a few minutes. Do not deposit again. A second attempt leaves two payments to untangle rather than one, and it slows the fix down. If it still has not landed, send support your proof of payment with the amount, the exact time and the bank reference. The money is unallocated, not lost — that is a very recoverable problem.

One more: make sure you are paying from an account in your own name. Depositing from someone else's account creates a mismatch that will stop your first withdrawal dead, because winnings only pay out to a verified method belonging to the account holder.

Goldrush does not charge a fee to deposit by Instant EFT. Your bank may apply its own standard transaction charge, which is worth checking if you deposit often.

Withdrawals are the mirror image and usually land fastest on pay-by-bank routes. Before your first one you will complete FICA verification — do it when you open the account rather than when you want your money, and it never delays a payout.
