POLi - The Australian Payment Solution
Online casino customers are always looking for a convenient way to deposit money and open up real money accounts. Many of the casinos we have profiled within these pages are very accommodating to Australian gamblers. In addition, there are methods of online casino payment that address the needs of Aussies specifically. One of these is called POLi (yes, that is the correct spelling), which brands itself as an online payment solution that actually allows Australians (and New Zealanders too, we might add) to pay for goods and services using internet banking. Obviously these goods and services include online casinos. POLi is not a bank; rather, it works in conjunction with your bank. According to their website, "Ultimately we aim to become a bank endorsed and integrated payment system." When the item you wish to purchase appears on the screen (including, of course, casino cash credits), you will be asked if you wish to use POLi for the transaction. Then, you will be directed to select which of the banks you have registered with your POLi account you wish to utilize. Having done that, you will then be asked to login to the online account you have with your bank. Once that is done, you are encountered with the full details of the transaction and asked to proceed, at which point you will have an opportunity to confirm the transaction. It's really as simple as that. The benefits of using POLi are that you do not need a credit card, you get an instant receipt for your transaction, and you don't have to deposit money into an account. It actually works as a conduit between you and the merchant, and what it does that is beneficial for casino customers is that it lets you do business without having to reveal delicate financial details, such as bank account or credit card numbers, to the merchant (in this case, the casino). Not that they are not trustworthy, but some people are sensitive about those kinds of things, and they enjoy an opportunity to keep some of the sensitive information private wherever possible. POLi supports many of the leading Australian banks, including: ANZ, Bank of Melbourne, Bank of Queensland, BankSA, BankWest, Bendigo Bank, Commonwealth, Westpac, NAB, Suncorp Bank and St. George Bank. If you are located in Australia, what we would suggest is that you look for the POLi logo at the "Cashier" or "Banking" page of the online casino you have settled upon and make use of it! |
