Whether you are depositing to play or withdrawing your winnings, your choice of payment can affect your experience. Which are the top payment methods in online NZ casinos? Let's find out.

PayPal
PayPal is among the world's most popular payment methods, and it is increasing in popularity with Kiwi online casino players, too. PayPal is known to be easy and secure, and it is accepted by many online casinos.
To use PayPal at an online casino, simply link your PayPal account to a bank account, debit card or credit card and make a transaction without providing financial details to the casino directly. Deposits via PayPal are usually instant so that you can start playing straight away. Withdrawals generally take one to three days—relatively fast compared to other methods.
The transaction limits vary by casino, but PayPal generally has a decent range, with minimum deposits starting at $10 (withdrawal limits vary depending on the casino).
A big selling point for PayPal is that most online casinos charge no fees on it, but PayPal might charge you a conversion fee for converting between currencies (like NZD to USD).
Credit and Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard)
Credit and debit cards are still a popular choice for New Zealand players at online casinos, as they're familiar and accepted methods. They are mostly Mastercard and Visa, and most online casinos will accept both deposits and withdrawals via these methods. The deposit process is nearly instant, and you can play immediately. Withdrawals take 3-5 business days, depending on the casino and your bank.
POLi
A local favourite, POLi lets you pay directly from your bank account. The service is popular because it requires no credit card, and you don't have to open another account to use it. Deposits via POLi are processed immediately if you want to get right on the action. The main downside of POLi is that most online casinos only accept it for deposits, not withdrawals.
Skrill
Online casinos often accept e-wallets such as Skrill, which are fast and secure. It’s kind of like PayPal except you link it to your bank account or card, and you can make very simple transactions without giving your financial info to the casino. Skrill deposits are instant, and withdrawals usually take 24 hours—faster than many other methods.
Neteller
Another e-wallet is Neteller, which is used at many New Zealand online casinos. It is favoured particularly for its security features and speed: Like Skrill, Neteller allows instant deposits and withdrawals, usually within 24 hours, making it one of the fastest ways to start playing and to cash out.
Bank Transfers
Bank transfers aren't the fastest option but are probably the safest. This is for those of you who prefer traditional banking or need to move large sums of money—many casinos will increase bank transfer limits compared to other methods. Of course, most bank transfers are slower than other methods, with deposits taking up to 3 business days and withdrawals taking 3-7 business days.
