POLi Payments remains one of the most popular ways for New Zealanders to fund online casino accounts directly from ANZ, ASB, BNZ, Westpac, Kiwibank, and TSB without entering debit card numbers. However, POLi is strictly a one-way deposit initiation protocol—it has zero technical mechanism to push casino winnings back to your bank account.
