Payforit Casinos NZ

What is Payforit?

Payforit is a "charge to bill" payment method that may be used to pay for a diverse and expanding variety of online content and services.

In a "charge to bill" payment option, transactions are invoiced to your mobile phone bill rather than a bank account or e-wallet, which makes it a popular option when playing mobile casino sites. This eliminates the need for sensitive financial information to be provided when making payments online.

Payforit allows the players to utilise their service on either post-paid or pre-paid mobile phone contracts. The main difference is that, whereas postpaid users' Payforit transactions are automatically added to their following month's phone bill, prepaid users must already have credit on their phone in order to make the transaction.

Can I use Payforit at Online Casinos?

Yes, you can use Payforit at some online casinos, although the number of NZ online casinos using it is limited. Payforit works on your phone, via wifi, 3G, 4G or 5G connections. Its main security check is confirming your mobile phone number and this process usually requires a couple of clicks from the player.

When players are making a deposit through a WiFi connection, though, it will generally require that you manually enter your phone number. Following that, you will receive a text message with a security code that you need to enter. This makes sense to us and it adds that extra level of security.

What happens if my Payforit deposit fails?

If your Payforit casino deposit fails, you will receive an error message. These errors are usually caused by one of three reasons. 

• If you are a postpaid user, you may have reached your network's monthly credit limit, which means you will have to wait for the limit to reset on the next billing period. 

• If you are a prepaid user, you likely don't have enough credit to pay for the deposit in the first place. 

• Your network provider is experiencing technical difficulties, which tend to disrupt all transactions. If this is the case, trying again a minute later usually works.

Is Payforit Worth it For Online Casinos?

The primary advantage of Payforit is its simplicity, quickness, and convenience. If you have a good internet connection on your mobile phone, gambling transactions should be simple and quick.

Having said that, there are still only a very limited of casino sites using this method. We have also found that Payforit is not good for high roller casino players, who deposit larger amounts. Additionally, mobile network operators will very certainly impose credit limits on the amount you may charge to your monthly account. In a nutshell, we don't think that Payforit is currently worth playing online casinos.
