You can play on any bike to start with... but most people end up building a bike specifically for polo, not so much cheaper (some have spent loads on their polo bikes) but hardier.
Also lower gearing so you have good acceleration from standing (assuming fixed or single speed, derailers are just another part to break), generally flat handlbars (as drops can get tangled)... More spokes on the wheel the better and usually thick profile rim (like velocities) both because wheels can get a lot of punishment... brake lever (if you have one) on your off hand side as your other hand is on the malet...
Lots of people have their own ideas of what's good, there's a polo bike thread that has pictures of what people have built up...
