Methods
How you can pay
Gambling with a credit card has been banned in Great Britain since April 2020. Licensed sites take debit cards, and many also take bank transfers, Pay by Bank, Apple Pay or e-wallets.
Welcome offers often exclude some e-wallets and prepaid methods. If an offer matters to you, check the payment exclusions before the first deposit, not after.
Checks
Identity first
Operators must verify your age and identity before you can deposit or play, including on free-to-play demos. They may also ask about the source of your money, especially if your spending rises; these checks are part of their licence duties.
Withdrawals
Getting money out
- Withdrawals usually go back to the method you deposited with.
- Bonus funds become withdrawable only after any wagering is met.
- Processing times vary by operator and method; the operator's own page sets them.
- A withdrawal you are entitled to should not depend on claiming another offer.
