Our Drakaris withdrawal, and what Mega Medusa promises

At Drakaris we deposited A$30 by credit card and later requested A$122 by bank transfer on Monday 19 October 2026 at 18:00. It arrived at 22:30 that evening: 4 hours 30 minutes, with no ID request and no fee. That was well inside Drakaris's own estimate, since its payments page gives bank transfers 5 to 7 days.

Mega Medusa's terms describe several stages. Requests are "processed within 24 hours of submission on business days", with weekend requests moving to the next business day. A bank wire can then take up to 10 business days to arrive, and Bitcoin payouts are processed within 72 hours. Separately, the limit clauses say requests are reviewed within seven to ten business days and approved amounts are processed within 10 business days. We haven't tested any of this, so we can't say which applies in practice.

Withdrawal detail	Mega Medusa (stated)	Drakaris
Minimum	$100	A$30 (bank transfer A$80)
Per transaction	Up to $2,500	Up to A$6,400
Before first payout	Photo ID and proof of address; verification deposit if no prior deposit	Nothing asked in our test
Fees	Processing fee up to $40	None from the casino

In the Mega Medusa vs Drakaris comparison, this is the row where a timed result counts most. Bank transfers between Australian accounts can move 24/7 when they're sent over the New Payments Platform, which Australian Payments Plus operates and which connects over 100 banks, financial institutions and fintechs. Whether a casino's payout travels that way depends on its payment provider, so we don't predict it from a banking page: we time it. Drakaris's A$122 was requested on a Monday evening and was in our account by 22:30, long before its own 5-to-7-day estimate.

Our fast payout guide explains the difference between processing and arrival times.

Fees on deposits and withdrawals

Drakaris charged us nothing: no fee on the A$30 card deposit and none on the A$122 bank transfer out. Its terms note that intermediary banks may charge on international wires, which didn't happen in our test.

Mega Medusa lists a 2% fee on card deposits and a withdrawal processing fee of up to $40, depending on the processor and the amount. Card deposits there also need an authorisation form and a copy of the card. On a $100 card deposit and a $100 withdrawal, the stated fees could add up to $42.

Welcome bonus: Drakaris's three-step package in full

Drakaris lists 450% up to A$7,200 + 450 free spins, split over three deposits, each from A$30 and each with its own code:

• FIRST: 100% up to A$1,600 + 100 free spins.
• SECOND: 150% up to A$2,400 + 150 free spins.
• THIRD: 200% up to A$3,200 + 200 free spins.

Every part carries 40x wagering on the bonus and on free-spin winnings, a A$8 maximum bet and a 7-day window. Free-spin winnings are capped at A$240 per part, and the bonus terms cap winnings from each part at its maximum bonus. On a A$100 first deposit that's a A$100 bonus and A$4,000 in bets. High rollers can swap the first part for code HIGH1.

The Mega Medusa casino main code is 251WELCOME. Its About page quotes two different package totals ($12,245 and $12,345), and no wagering figure for 251WELCOME appears on the public pages, so the cashier is where to check it. Every Mega Medusa code we found is listed on our Mega Medusa bonus codes page. Our casino bonus guide explains how to work out the bets an offer needs.

Drakaris free spins, cashback and VIP

Beyond the 450 spins in the welcome package, Drakaris runs a Daily Free Spins offer with code DAILY from a A$30 deposit at 35x, and weekly spin offers on Mondays. Drakaris also offers 30% daily cashback on live casino losses above A$100 from the previous day.

Its 10-level VIP programme adds daily cashback of 2% to 10%, with wagering that falls from 40x to 1x as you climb, and a dedicated manager at the top. The same account opens a sportsbook with a sports welcome in free bets and 10% weekly sports cashback.

Games, payments and account set-up

Drakaris Casino lists more than 9,900 games from 119 providers, 416 live casino games and a sportsbook, which makes it the larger lobby by a wide margin. Mega Medusa Casino runs on RTG (Realtime Gaming) software, with pokies, table games, video poker and specialty games, plus leaderboards and tournaments. It doesn't publish a game count.

The Drakaris casino takes cards, Apple Pay, Skrill, Neteller, MiFinity, Paysafecard, online banking and 11 cryptocurrencies, with no casino fee. Mega Medusa shows cards, Neosurf, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and bank wire, with a 2% fee on cards. Neither lists PayID; if that matters, see our PayID casinos page.

Sign-up differs too. Mega Medusa registers players through Inclave, a shared login service, while Drakaris uses its own account. Drakaris gives you deposit, loss and wager limits, cooling-off from one week to six months, and self-exclusion in your profile.

Mega Medusa vs Drakaris on verification and paperwork

The Mega Medusa casino terms put verification before any withdrawal: a government photo ID and proof of address, plus a "verification deposit" for a player who has never deposited. The terms allow only one real-money account per player.

The Drakaris casino terms reserve the right to ask for photo ID, proof of address and proof of the payment method. None of that happened on our A$122 withdrawal: no documents were requested and the money arrived the same evening. Drakaris expects each deposit to be wagered three times before a cash-out, so play your deposit through first.

Our verdict: Mega Medusa or Drakaris?

The Drakaris casino did what we measure: A$122 by bank transfer in 4 hours 30 minutes, no fee, no documents. Its welcome package is published in full, and its lobby lists more than 9,900 games. The Mega Medusa casino figures are its own statements, and we haven't tested them with a deposit.
