Payment method details

Per-method fees, speed and UKGC eligibility. Speeds are the casino-side processing time after withdrawal approval - actual settlement adds bank/card/network time on top.

Visa

Card UKGC ✓

Deposit: Instant
Withdrawal: 24h via Visa Direct, 1-3 days via standard refund
Fees: Usually free, occasional 1-3% deposit fee at non-UK casinos

Universal acceptance. Visa Direct withdrawals catch up with e-wallet speed at most UK and US-regulated casinos.

Mastercard

Card UKGC ✓

Deposit: Instant
Withdrawal: 24h via Mastercard Send, 1-3 days standard
Fees: Usually free, occasional 1-3% fee

Similar performance to Visa. Some UK banks block gambling Mastercard transactions; check with your issuer.

PayPal

E-wallet UKGC ✓

Deposit: Instant
Withdrawal: Within 24 hours
Fees: Free at all UK casinos; some non-UK casinos charge 2-3%

The gold standard at UK casinos for speed + buyer protection. Only available at UKGC-licensed operators; PayPal does not work with most offshore casinos.

Skrill

E-wallet UKGC ✓

Deposit: Instant
Withdrawal: Within 24 hours
Fees: Free deposits; €1.45 withdrawal fee unless using VIP tier

Wider geographic reach than PayPal. Some welcome bonuses exclude Skrill deposits - check T&Cs.

Neteller

E-wallet UKGC ✓

Deposit: Instant
Withdrawal: Within 24 hours
Fees: Free deposits; small withdrawal fee

Same parent as Skrill (Paysafe). Identical functional profile. Some bonus T&Cs exclude both Skrill and Neteller deposits.

Trustly

Bank UKGC ✓

Deposit: Instant
Withdrawal: Same day (typically under 4 hours)
Fees: Free at almost every casino

Direct bank-to-casino transfer via Open Banking. No registration required. Dominant payment method at MGA-licensed European operators.

Bitcoin

Crypto UKGC ✗

Deposit: 10-60 min on-chain
Withdrawal: 10-60 min on-chain (Lightning: seconds where supported)
Fees: Network fees only (typically £1-5)

Standard crypto rail at offshore and crypto-first operators. Not accepted at UKGC casinos - UK Gambling Commission has not approved cryptocurrency for licensed operators.

Ethereum

Crypto UKGC ✗

Deposit: 1-5 min
Withdrawal: 1-5 min
Fees: Network gas fees, typically £2-15

Faster than Bitcoin. ERC-20 stablecoins (USDT-ERC20, USDC-ERC20) are increasingly preferred for the lower volatility.

Apple Pay

Mobile UKGC ✓

Deposit: Instant
Withdrawal: Not available - withdrawal routed back to original card
Fees: Free

Touch ID / Face ID authorisation. Deposit-only - withdrawals route to the original card. Only available at iOS users with a UK casino account.

Interac

Bank UKGC ✗

Deposit: Instant
Withdrawal: Same day
Fees: Free at most Canadian casinos

Canada-only payment method. Standard at AGCO-licensed Ontario operators and most Canadian-facing offshore casinos.

How to pick the right method for you

Want maximum withdrawal speed? Crypto (10-60 min on-chain) or Trustly bank-rail (same-day) at supported operators.
Want maximum consumer protection? PayPal at a UKGC operator. Buyer-protection + IBAS arbitration + UKGC dispute resolution stack on top of each other.
Want to claim a welcome bonus? Read the bonus T&Cs first - many exclude Skrill / Neteller / Trustly deposits. Visa or Mastercard is almost always bonus-eligible.
Want anonymous play? Crypto at an offshore casino is the only consistently-anonymous option. UKGC requires KYC at signup regardless of deposit method.
