Payments & apps

An app puts the whole betting account in a pocket, and the payment screen is where the real rules show up.

Typical entries are debit cards, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller and paysafecard, alongside the phone-native Apple Pay and Google Pay, Trustly and plain bank transfer. Withdrawal speed, first deposits of £1, £5 or £10 and the crypto debate fill the rest. Which operator takes which method is not stated.

Since 14 April 2020 credit cards are off limits for gambling, debit cards and bank payments excepted. Name, address and birth date are verified before the first deposit; a public-record check follows once net deposits top £150 within any 30 days. Winnings carry no tax for the punter.
