POLi as a recharge method without a credit card

1. Why players were looking for an alternative to cards

Not all users are willing to use credit cards for casino deposits. The main reasons are:

• Fear of blocking transactions by the bank.
• Inconvenience of controlling expenses when paying with a credit card.
• Restrictions on gambling operations in some banks.
• Fears for the security of card data.

These factors made POLi an attractive alternative - without having to provide card details.

2. How POLi works without a card

POLi connected the player directly to internet banking. Algorithm:

• 1. The player chose POLi as a payment method.
• 2. From the list of supported banks, I chose mine.
• 3. Authorized in the Internet bank.
• 4. Confirmed transfer from current or savings account.

No credit card was required: the money was debited directly from the bank account.

3. Benefits of POLi for those who do not want to use cards

Security. There is no need to enter card details on the casino website.
Simplicity. A standard Internet bank is used without additional accounts.
Instant deposits. Funds were credited immediately after the transfer was confirmed.
Accessibility. Support for major banks in Australia and New Zealand.
Cost control. Players spent only the money that is on the account, without the risks of credit debts.

4. Comparison with other recharge methods without a card

Bank transfer. Longer in time, but also does not require a card.
E-wallets. Fast, but need separate registration and balance.
POLi. The optimal balance of speed and simplicity: instant deposit directly from the Internet bank.

5. Limitations and nuances

POLi worked only for deposits, withdrawing funds required a different method.
Not all banks supported transactions via POLi.
After 30 September 2023, the service was closed in Australia, but continues to be used in New Zealand.

6. Result

POLi became a solution for players who were unwilling or unable to use credit cards. It provided a fast, secure and easy way to top up your account through Internet banking, without additional registrations and the risk of card data leakage. Despite the closure of the service in Australia, in New Zealand it remains in demand as a convenient alternative to cards.
