- Once you have deposited funds into the Financial Wallet Account, you can
- transfer the funds into a gaming wallet which is part of the Digital Wallet (provided by 3P Card Services Pty Ltd) and use the funds towards gaming activities at select gaming machines at specified ALH (Australian Leisure and Hospitality Group Pty Ltd (ACN 133 770 162) locations.
- Transfer the funds back to other bank accounts from your Financial Wallet Account via the Digital Wallet.
- Receive funds from the proceeds of gaming activities, from your gaming wallet. Note that the gaming wallet is managed by ALH (Australian Leisure and Hospitality Pty Ltd) and is not issued or managed by Hay Limited – please visit https://www.banktech.com.au for more details on the gaming wallet.

- Your Financial Wallet Account is not a bank account, and no interest will be payable on the Available Balance.
7. Available Balance
The Available Balance of your Financial Wallet Account is held on trust for you at an Australian ADI (Authorised Deposit Taking Institution) in a segregated customer funds account.
In accordance with this PDS and the Terms and Conditions you acknowledge that the Available Balance can be used to meet Hay’s settlement obligations in respect of your transactions and to provide security for its settlement obligations.
Available Balance in your Account does not earn interest. Balances held in the Account are not bank deposits and are not protected by the Australian Government’s Financial Claims Scheme.
8. Benefits of the Financial Wallet Account
Significant benefits of the Financial Wallet Account are:
- you can receive payments to your Account from other banks (using your BSB and Account number) in the same way you do a bank account (even though the Account is not a bank account).

- you can receive proceeds from gaming related activities into the Financial Wallet Account from your gaming wallet.
- you can only access the value that you have in your Account (subject to daily limits).
9. Risks of the Financial Wallet Account
The significant risks of the Financial Wallet Account are:
- Unauthorised transactions could happen if the access to your Account is lost or stolen, if your PIN is revealed to an unauthorised person, as a result of fraud, or if you breach the Terms and Conditions of the Account outlined in this PDS or the Terms and Conditions;
- you might not be able to get your money back if unauthorised transactions or mistaken transactions occur. The higher the Available Balance in your Financial Wallet Account, the more you could lose due to an unauthorised transaction.
- due to equipment errors, malfunctions or equipment being used incorrectly, the same transaction may be processed more than once, or transactions may not be processed at all.
- if the network enabling the use of the Financial Wallet Account is unavailable, you may not be able to perform transactions or get information about transactions.
- you will not earn interest on any Available Balance that is stored on your Account.
- the Financial Claims Scheme (FCS – see fcs.gov.au) does not apply in relation to your Account. If Hay fails, any Available Balance held on your Account will not be protected by the FCS, and you may lose all or part of your Available Balance.
- as Hay has not considered your individual circumstances or needs, you should get your own independent tax advice on the impact that the Account may have on your personal tax liability.
