Payments
Between a Friday-night kick-off and a Sunday payout lies a stretch of money handling that decides how smooth betting feels. This section follows funds in and out.
Searches centre on Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Apple Pay and bank transfer, with POLi as the New Zealand favourite. The e-wallets Skrill and Neteller, the prepaid paysafecard and Neosurf and Trustly come after; Bitcoin and crypto are a topic by themselves.
Payment rules for betting accounts are not established in statute, so methods and ceilings are matters for the provider alone and are not generalised. DIA warns that offshore operators may not return unspent credits. IRD says recreational gambling winnings are generally not taxable.
