A corporate bookmaker rejected a $30,000 deposit into the account of Kieran Foran this year, police have discovered after examining records at various betting agencies.

The New Zealand international's gambling activity and his association with noted Sydney punter Eddie Hayson has been of interest to police, who announced this week that dozens of players, officials and members of the community would be interviewed as part of the newly formed Strike Force Nuralda's investigation into allegations of match fixing in the NRL.

Fairfax Media reported last month that some of the winnings of a successful plunge on the round seven match between Manly and Parramatta this season – one of three games under suspicion – had ended up in the TAB accounts of Foran and his brother Liam.

Inquiries by police with local betting agencies also found that corporate bookmaker Ladbrokes rejected an attempted deposit of $30,000 into Foran's account there this year. It is understood that the organisation had grown increasingly concerned about publicity surrounding the player's gambling and declined to accept the deposit. The size of the deposit was also understood to be out of character for Foran's account.
