POLi

POLi is an online banking payment service that has been used in Australia and New Zealand to pay directly from a bank account without a card or wallet. Australia Post closed POLi in Australia on 30 September 2023 and the service now runs only in New Zealand, so check whether your operator offers it there.

POLi is an online payment system for customers and businesses in New Zealand, where it is run by Merco Limited after Australia Post shut the Australian arm down in September 2023. Gambling sites that accept New Zealand customers may also take deposits via POLi.

POLi Betting

The primary motivation in using POLi is the simplicity of the deposit process. When you use this deposit method, money is sent straight from your bank account to your gambling account. There’s no need to register for an account or memorize a new password to use POLI. It uses your existing online bank account to process deposits to your betting site.

The biggest disadvantage to POLi is its limited availability. It only works if you live in New Zealand and have an account at one of its supported banks. If you don’t meet those requirements, you’ll need to look into other betting deposit methods.

How to Deposit With POLi

POLi supports most major New Zealand banks. If you have an account at any of the banks listed below, you can use POLi. All you have to do is chose POLi as your deposit method, choose an amount to deposit and then log in to your online bank account to confirm the payment.

Your deposit will be credited instantly after confirming the payment. At no point do you need to register for an account with POLi like you would with most other payment methods. After you hit the confirm button, you can go back to your betting site to start playing for real money.

POLi does not save your banking information or ask for any other personal details. The system acts strictly as a payment processor that moves money from Point A to Point B. I should note one thing before we continue: payments made via POLi cannot be reversed by your bank. Make sure you only deposit what you can afford to risk.
