Astropay Card

If you’re looking into the AstroPay Card as a way to cash out, here’s the key fact: it was discontinued in 2024. AstroPay retired its prepaid card and voucher products, so the card this page is named after no longer exists. And even when it did, it was a deposit-only prepaid method that could never receive a payout. Either way, it isn’t a withdrawal option for a New Zealand player. This page explains what happened and what to use instead.
It is written to inform, not to promote. Nothing here recommends gambling or any particular operator. “AstroPay” is used for identification only.

What the AstroPay Card Was
The AstroPay Card was a prepaid voucher. You bought a code in a set amount, then redeemed it to fund a casino account — much like paysafecard or Neosurf. Because prepaid vouchers are a one-way top-up, they were always a deposit tool: there’s no account behind them for a casino to send winnings back to. So “withdrawing to an AstroPay Card” was never actually possible, even before it was retired.
What Changed in 2024
AstroPay discontinued its prepaid card and voucher products in 2024, as part of a shift in the company’s direction. What remains under the AstroPay name is a different product — a multicurrency wallet and app, focused on Latin America and other emerging markets. That wallet is not a New Zealand payment method, doesn’t offer a NZD account, and isn’t the prepaid card this page refers to. So if you see “AstroPay Card” listed in a casino cashier today, that’s outdated information.
What NZ Players Use to Cash Out
For a New Zealand player, the methods designed for this market are the ones to use:
Bank transfer — straight to your NZ bank account, best for larger cash-outs.A Visa or Mastercard debit card — linked to your bank, widely accepted.An NZD e-wallet (Skrill, Neteller) — the fastest fiat route, with a native NZD balance so there’s no conversion.
If you specifically liked the prepaid approach for deposits — buying a set amount with no card or bank details — the vouchers still available to NZ players are paysafecard, Neosurf and Flexepin. Just remember that, like the old AstroPay Card, those are deposit-only: you’ll still cash out with a bank transfer, debit card or e-wallet.
Playing From New Zealand
Whatever method you choose, the operator behind it matters most. From 1 December 2026, under the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026, only operators licensed by the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) may lawfully offer online casino games to New Zealanders. All online gambling is strictly R18. A cashier listing a discontinued method is a sign its information is out of date. Our casino bonuses guide explains how offers work.
Staying in Control: Responsible Play in Aotearoa
Whichever method you use, the fundamentals are the same: set limits before you play and never gamble with money you can’t afford to lose. Regulated operators must provide control tools such as deposit limits, reality checks and self-exclusion. See our self-exclusion tools guide.

Factual information disclaimer
This article is provided for general information only. It does not encourage gambling, does not recommend any operator, and is not legal or financial advice.
Gambling involves financial risk and can be harmful. The AstroPay Card and its prepaid vouchers were discontinued in 2024; even when available, they were a deposit-only method and could not receive payouts. The surviving AstroPay wallet is a separate, Latin-America-focused product and not a New Zealand payment method. Availability and products change over time; confirm current options with the casino. From 1 December 2026, only DIA-licensed operators may lawfully serve New Zealand players. All online gambling is strictly R18.

Can I still use the AstroPay Card?
No. AstroPay discontinued its prepaid card and voucher products in 2024. If a casino still lists it, that’s outdated cashier information.
Could I ever withdraw to an AstroPay Card?
No. It was a prepaid voucher — a deposit-only top-up method. Prepaid vouchers can’t receive winnings, so cashing out to one was never possible.
Is AstroPay still around in some form?
Yes, but as a different product: a multicurrency wallet and app focused on Latin America and other emerging markets. It isn’t a New Zealand payment method and doesn’t offer a NZD account.
What should I use instead?
For withdrawals, a bank transfer, a Visa or Mastercard debit card, or an NZD e-wallet like Skrill or Neteller. If you liked prepaid for deposits, paysafecard, Neosurf or Flexepin are still available — but those are deposit-only too.
Where can I get help if gambling becomes a problem?
Free, confidential support is available in New Zealand through the Gambling Helpline Aotearoa on 0800 654 655. Support is available at any time, and you do not need to be in crisis to reach out.
