Payment Method Status Tracker
| Method | Market | Status | Last verified | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Revolut | Canada | Blocked | Canada is not on Revolut's supported-country list, so Canadian residents cannot open a personal Revolut account (help.revolut.com). No Revolut route exists in this market. | |
| Credit cards | Ireland | Blocked | Section 165 of the Gambling Regulation Act 2024 bars licensed operators from accepting credit-card payment for gambling, including payment by electronic or digital means loaded from a credit card (revisedacts.lawreform.ie). | |
| Bank cards (Norwegian-issued) | Norway | Blocked | Norwegian banks stop card transactions to unlicensed gambling companies under the payment-intermediation ban; Lotteritilsynet states credit cards carry a built-in block against transactions coded with the gambling merchant code (lottstift.no). | |
| Vipps | Norway | Blocked | Norwegian payment services are required to stop transfers both ways — stakes and winnings — with gambling companies that lack a Norwegian licence (Lotteritilsynet, lottstift.no). Vipps clears only at Norwegian-licensed operators such as Norsk Tipping. | |
| Interac e-Transfer | Canada | Degraded | Moves money between Canadian bank accounts through 250+ participating institutions, with availability subject to each institution's policies (interac.ca). Banks restrict gambling use — RBC's Virtual Visa Debit agreement reserves the right to prevent internet-gambling transactions — so transfers a bank links to gambling are bank-dependent. | |
| Revolut | Norway | Degraded | Open to EEA residents, Norway included (help.revolut.com). The in-app gambling block declines gambling-coded card payments and takes 48 hours to lift once disabled. Top-ups from a Norwegian account and winnings returning to one sit under the payment-intermediation ban (Lotteritilsynet). | |
| Trustly | Norway | Degraded | Bank-to-bank rail; Trustly launched instant deposits in Norway in 2023 (trustly.com) and offshore cashiers list it for Norwegian customers. Norwegian banks remain required to stop gambling-linked transfers both ways, and Trustly publishes no Norway-specific withdrawal time. | |
| POLi | New Zealand | Degraded | Still operating in New Zealand under Merco after Australia Post closed the Australian service on 2023-09-30 — POLi states the service continues uninterrupted for NZ merchants and customers (polipay.co.nz). Not listed on every casino cashier, and bank support varies by bank. | |
| Cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH, USDT) | Canada | Working | Listed on the published cashiers of Curaçao-licensed operators serving Canada. Settles on-chain, outside the card networks and bank rails, so bank gambling restrictions do not reach it. Price volatility and lighter-touch licences are the trade-offs. | |
| Debit cards | Ireland | Working | Permitted — Section 165 targets credit specifically, not own-money payments. AIB's opt-in gambling block declines transactions flagged as gambling and takes 3 working days to remove once requested; it only catches payments merchants flag as gambling (aib.ie). | |
| Revolut | Ireland | Working | Available to Irish residents. Payments clear unless the in-app gambling block is on: it declines gambling-coded transactions and takes 48 hours to lift once disabled (help.revolut.com). Funding the payment from a credit card is barred at licensed operators under Section 165. | |
| MuchBetter | New Zealand | Working | E-wallet listed on NZ-facing cashiers. MuchBetter's published fee schedule charges 2% for card use with gaming and gambling merchants; currency conversion outside USD, EUR and GBP carries a variable FX rate (muchbetter.com). | |
| Revolut | New Zealand | Working | Launched in New Zealand on 2023-07-03 (revolut.com). Payments clear unless the in-app gambling block is on: it declines gambling-coded transactions and takes 48 hours to lift once disabled (help.revolut.com). | |
| Visa / Mastercard | New Zealand | Working | Accepted where listed. Westpac's opt-in gambling control stops gambling-coded card transactions immediately and re-enables only after a two-day waiting period (westpac.co.nz); Kiwibank's block covers Visa Debit and credit cards and takes up to two working days to apply or remove (kiwibank.co.nz). |
Statuses are operator-maintained and may lag real-world availability. Anything marked “Unverified” has not been confirmed — check with the casino directly before relying on it.
How a status is determined
Most affiliate sites publish a static "accepted payment methods" list that is copied from a casino's marketing page and never revisited. This tracker records the state a payment method was last confirmed in, the date it was checked, and the caveat that matters — so a player can answer "is this still working?" rather than "was this ever advertised?".
Every status is analytical. We do not deposit at casinos in Norway, Canada, Ireland or New Zealand. A status is recorded only when it can be tied to public documentation: regulator publications such as Lotteritilsynet's payment-ban guidance, statutes such as Section 165 of Ireland's Gambling Regulation Act 2024, the banks' published card controls, and the payment providers' own pages. Each row names the documentation behind it, and every row in the current log was checked on 2026-07-11.
Entries are re-checked at least every 60 days, and sooner when a regulator or provider announces a change. When we cannot confirm a method's position in a market from a primary source, the row is left out rather than guessed — that is why some method-market pairs are absent.
The four states. Working: public documentation supports availability in the market, with no documented restriction on the route itself. Degraded: available, but with a documented caveat — a regulator ban that reaches the transfers, partial cashier coverage, or provider-side friction. Blocked: a primary source documents that the route does not work — a statutory ban, or a provider that does not serve the market. Unverified: not yet confirmed against a source; no claim is made.
Where the current statuses come from
Every entry in the log traces to one of the following public sources, all accessed 2026-07-11:

Frequently asked questions
What does each status mean?
Working means public documentation supports the method's availability in that market, with no documented restriction on the route itself. Degraded means it is available with a documented caveat, such as a regulator ban that reaches the transfers or partial cashier coverage. Blocked means a primary source documents that it does not work — a statutory ban, or a provider that does not serve the market. Unverified means it has not been confirmed and no claim is being made.
How current is the data?
Each row carries the date it was last checked, and every entry is re-checked at least every 60 days — sooner when a regulator or provider announces a change. Payment availability shifts between checks, so treat the dated status as the state at that date and confirm with the casino before relying on it.
Do you personally test these methods in every country?
No. We do not deposit at casinos in any market. Every entry is tracked from public documentation — regulator publications, statutes, bank policies and the payment providers' own pages — and labelled as analysis, not personal testing.
Why is a payment method missing from the tracker?
Because we could not confirm its position in that market from a primary source. A row exists only when its status can be tied to public documentation; where a provider does not publish market availability or gambling terms, the row is left out rather than guessed. Missing does not mean blocked — it means unconfirmed.
Why does the same method show different statuses in different markets?
Because the binding constraint is set per market. Norway's payment-intermediation ban obliges banks to stop gambling transfers both ways; Ireland's Section 165 bars credit-card gambling payments at licensed operators; Canadian banks apply their own account-agreement restrictions; New Zealand's banks run opt-in gambling blocks. The same rail meets a different wall in each market.
A method shows blocked but my casino still lists it — who is right?
Check directly with the casino. A casino can advertise a method that no longer completes, or route it in a way our sources do not cover. The tracker records what public documentation supported at the last check; when the log and a live cashier disagree, the live transaction is the truth, and we re-verify the row.
