Fees on deposits and withdrawals at UK bookmakers

The fee you pay depends on the operator's own terms, so we record only what the operator publishes. A charge added by your bank or a payment provider is a separate matter, and an operator's page may not state it.

Two licence conditions shape the methods on offer. Credit cards cannot be used to gamble with a licensee (LC 6.1.2, see Can you bet with a credit card in the UK?).

Payments must go through regulated payment providers (LC 5.1.2, in force from 31 January 2024).

The short version: the operator's published terms set the fee we record; anything your bank adds is yours to check.

A fee has two parts: a fixed charge in pounds and a percentage of the amount. The fee is fixed charge plus percentage times amount, and the net amount is the amount you send minus the fee.

Example: a £100.00 deposit with a fixed fee of £0.00 and a percentage fee of 2.5% costs £2.50, so £97.50 reaches the account. These inputs are an arithmetic illustration, not any bookmaker's fee. Try your own inputs in the Fee and limit calculator.

Knowing the net amount matters because a small fixed fee takes a larger share of a small deposit.

We read the payments page of each operator, save the address and the date, and copy the fee or the statement that there is none. We record "no fee" only when the page says so.

If we cannot open a page, the row stays Not verified.

Payment facts are re-read every 30 days. A row older than that is marked Data out of date until it is read again.

Speed of payouts and method limits are not compared here. For offers that exclude certain deposit methods, see Which deposit methods can exclude you from a free-bet offer?.
