Payments & apps
Free bets are triggered by a deposit more often than not, so the payment method becomes part of the offer story. This section looks at methods through the first deposit and the first withdrawal.
Sites that accept £1, £5 or £10 come up first, then debit cards, Visa and Mastercard, bank transfer and Trustly. E-wallets, phone wallets, paysafecard, apps, fast withdrawals and crypto as a topic complete the picture. Which operator takes which method is left to the operator.
Credit cards have been barred from gambling since 14 April 2020. Identity must be verified before money goes in, and a public-record check is prompted once net deposits climb above £150 across a rolling 30 days. The punter owes no tax on winnings.
