## Mini-FAQ (common operational Qs)
Q: How quickly should small withdrawals be processed during a spike?
A: Aim for automated withdrawals under A$1,000 to clear within 24–72 hours, with manual review for large sums. This reduces backlog and punter complaints. That leads to VIP rules.
Q: Do I need local banking licences to accept POLi/PayID?
A: You need merchant arrangements with AU-licensed acquirers or PSPs that support POLi/PayID. Offshore sites commonly rely on specialist PSPs that handle local rails. Make sure contractual KYC obligations are met and documented. That brings us to payment reconciliations.
Q: What responsible-gambling measures should be active on the day?
A: Enable deposit caps, reality-check popups, and direct links to Gambling Help Online (1800 858 858) and BetStop. These measures reduce harm and satisfy regulator expectations during high-tempo events.
## Final practical tip and one more reference
To run record-scale promotions fair dinkum, rehearse them under stress and have a dedicated “record day” runbook: clear staff roles, a single source of truth dashboard, and a legal/tax contact on call. If you need to show a working playbook to stakeholders or to test integrations, include a real-world case study (anonymous or redacted) and a non-promotional link such as ragingbull in your internal playbook to illustrate deposit modalities and demo game flows used by offshore RTG fans. That closes the technical loop and prepares you for post-event audits.
