It's not ideal, but that's not to say someone can't play on one.
The important things (as I see it at least) are:
*At least one working brake
*Plugged handlebar ends, and no funny protrusions (e.g. stunt pegs)
*A nice low gear (or gears) as accelaration is more important than outright top speed
If and when you get more into polo then you will almost certainly find that stuff like suspension is holding you back but until then just rock up on summat that works, is safe and that you won't cry about when it gets scratched.
