Which NZ banks support POLi deposits?

ANZ, ASB, BNZ, Westpac, Kiwibank, and several other NZ banks are supported. Select your bank from the list in the Jackpot City cashier.

Does POLi work on weekends?

POLi relies on NZ bank processing infrastructure and can be unreliable outside standard banking hours including evenings, weekends, and public holidays. Pre-deposit during business hours or use a backup method.

Is POLi safe for NZ casino deposits?

POLi does not store your banking credentials. The session is encrypted, single-use, and read-only. POLi is audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers and complies with NZ banking security standards.

Can I withdraw via POLi?

Withdrawals route to your NZ bank account via standard bank transfer in 1–3 business days. The funds return to the same account you deposited from.

POLi Deposit at Jackpot City — Direct NZ Bank Deposit with Instant Processing

Last updated: 25-06-2026

POLi is the only deposit method at Jackpot City that connects directly to your New Zealand bank account without any intermediary wallet, card, or third-party service. You select your NZ bank (ANZ, ASB, BNZ, Westpac, Kiwibank, or others), log in through your bank’s secure internet banking portal, and the transfer processes instantly. No card number, no e-wallet registration, no cryptocurrency setup. For NZ players who want the most direct possible path between their bank account and their Jackpot City balance, POLi is unmatched.

The trade-off is operating hours. POLi relies on NZ bank processing infrastructure, which means deposits can be unreliable outside standard banking hours — evenings, weekends, and public holidays. A Friday evening deposit may not process until Monday. For players who primarily play during evenings and weekends, this is a significant limitation. The solution: pre-deposit during business hours earlier in the week, or keep a Visa debit card configured as a backup method for off-hours deposits.

Author’s tip from Emily Mellor, Head of Regulatory Affairs & Global Compliance: “POLi deposits require you to log in to your actual NZ internet banking during the transaction. This means your bank login session is routed through POLi’s secure gateway. POLi does not store your banking credentials — the session is read-only and single-use. However, some NZ players are uncomfortable entering their bank login on a third-party redirect. If this concerns you, Visa debit provides an alternative with similar bonus eligibility and no banking credential exposure.”

Author’s tip from Emily Mellor, Head of Regulatory Affairs & Global Compliance: “POLi is the recommended method for NZ players who deposit during business hours and want the simplest withdrawal process. Because the deposit routes through your NZ bank account, the withdrawal returns to the same account via bank transfer — no additional verification, no separate method setup. The 1–3 business day withdrawal timeline is slower than e-wallets or crypto but faster and more reliable than Visa card refunds.”

Author’s tip from Emily Mellor, Head of Regulatory Affairs & Global Compliance: “Pre-deposit strategy: if you play primarily on weekend evenings, deposit your session budget via POLi on Thursday or Friday during business hours. Your Jackpot City balance holds the funds until you play. This avoids the weekend processing limitation entirely and gives you the zero-fee, NZ-bank-direct advantages of POLi without the timing restriction.”
