Payment methods explained

Every NZ-licensed online casino offers a range of ways to move money in and out of your account. This guide covers the main options, how they work, and what to consider when choosing.

Bank transfer

Direct bank transfers are the most widely used method at NZ casinos. Deposits typically clear within a few hours; withdrawals take one to three business days. Most NZ-licensed operators support POLi for instant bank-funded deposits without sharing card details.

Credit and debit cards

Visa and Mastercard are accepted at most licensed casinos. Deposits are instant. Some banks may decline gambling transactions — if yours does, a bank transfer or e-wallet is a reliable alternative.

E-wallets

PayPal, Skrill, and Neteller act as a buffer between your bank and the casino. Deposits and withdrawals are fast — often within 24 hours — and your bank statement shows only the e-wallet transaction, not the casino name.

Prepaid cards

PaySafeCard lets you deposit using a voucher bought with cash. There is no link to your bank account, which suits players who prefer to set a hard spending limit. Withdrawals are not possible via prepaid cards.

Cryptocurrency

A small number of NZ-licensed operators accept Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Transactions are fast and private, but exchange rate volatility means the NZD value of your balance can change.
