Debit cards

Visa and Mastercard debit cards are the most common way to pay at UK casinos. Deposits are instant and withdrawals return to the same card.

E-wallets

PayPal is hugely popular with UK players: it's fast, secure and keeps your bank details private. Skrill and Neteller are also widely supported, though note that some bonuses exclude e-wallet deposits.

Why credit cards aren't allowed

Banned since April 2020

The UK Gambling Commission banned the use of credit cards for gambling to help prevent people betting with money they don't have. Licensed UK casinos will only accept debit cards and the methods above.
