Payments & apps

Putting money in is seldom the hard part; getting it back, and the checks between, tells more about a bookmaker’s payment arrangements. That journey is the focus of this section.

Covered are debit cards, bank transfer and Trustly, the e-wallets PayPal, Skrill and Neteller, paysafecard, Apple Pay and Google Pay, as well as quick withdrawals, £1, £5 and £10 deposit sites, crypto as a topic and betting apps.

The ban on funding gambling by credit card dates from 14 April 2020. Before any deposit is made, identity is confirmed, and net deposits above £150 within a rolling 30 days start a public-record check. As for tax, the punter pays none on betting winnings.
