As you can see in our list above, covering the sites that offer £5 as the minimum deposit limit, there are quite a few of them and it thus might be difficult to decipher which one to choose.
Using the data in the table - i.e. how many payment methods can be used to make £5 deposits - as well as personal preference, we have put together a list of some of the best £5 deposit bookies below:
As one of the oldest betting brands in the industry, it's no surprise to see Coral offering a low minimum deposit of £5. It should be noted that the deposit has to be made through a debit card, Apple/Google Pay, Paysafecard or Instant Banking, while the minimum for PayPal is slightly higher at £10.
What makes Coral the best site for £5 deposits, however, is the fact that you can claim the welcome offer with this amount as well. Indeed, the bookie offers a so-called bet £5 get £20 deal, which is very generous and one that every punter should claim. The offer is also available on Coral's sister site Ladbrokes.

Bet365 is the go-to betting site for most punters in the UK, thanks to a tremendous sportsbook, and the situation for £5 deposits is quite good too. Debit card, Apple/Google Pay, Paysafecard and Trustly are the methods accepted for the amount while PayPal, like Coral, has a higher amount at £25 (!).
The PayPal dilemma is made up by the fact that punters can claim bet365's welcome offer with a £5 deposit. While a £10 deposit is needed to claim the maximum free bet of £30, half of that can also be added to claim a £15 free bet. In other words, there is flexibility here and that is something we like.

It might be a surprise for some punters to see Midnite here, but aside from being an exciting up-and-coming bookie, it is also brilliant for £5 deposits. Indeed, all of the methods accepted on the site have that minimum: debit card, Apple/Google Pay, Trustly and PayPal. It's certainly nice to see the latter with that limit.
Sadly, the welcome offer requires a deposit of £10 from new customers so that cannot be claimed. The solution is thus to deposit that amount the first time and then switch to £5, which is worth it in our opinion. Putting deposits aside for a second, Midnite is well worth a try with its impressive sportsbook and instant withdrawals.

Lottoland is mainly known for its casino and lotto operations, but a sportsbook is now available in partnership with Altenar. For sports punters, this is great news as Lottoland doesn't just accept £5 minimum deposits for all of its methods, but also £1 deposits if you use a debit card or Apple Pay.
Furthermore, Paysafecard (£2), Trustly (£4) and MuchBetter (£5) can also be used on the site, which means there is plenty of choice. The only negative is that the welcome offer requires a deposit of £10 to unlock the £20 bonus, but as said before, it's worth claiming this and then switching to £5.

BoyleSports has become more and more popular in the UK and while the sportsbook is the driving factor, the deposit cashier might have something to do with it too. Indeed, all methods support £5 deposits, meaning you can use a debit card, Apple/Google Pay, Neteller, Skrill, PayPal and Paysafecard to deposit the amount.
Unfortunately, the welcome offer requires a minimum deposit of £10, but this is worth doing the first time around in our opinion. There are also some good promotions to claim as an existing customer, so if you really don't want to deposit £10, missing out on the welcome offer perhaps does not matter.

Online betting fans will have probably used several different banking methods to fund their accounts. But they cannot all be used to make a £5 deposit. Here are the leading options:
Debit card: Most customers of betting sites in the UK will probably use a debit card - such as Visa or MasterCard - to deposit into their accounts. The good news is that a lot of leading UK betting sites allow their users to deposit just £5 when using a debit card. Some sites even accept deposits as low as £1 (!).
E-wallets: Among the benefits of using e-wallets is that they tend to have some of the fastest withdrawal times at UK betting sites. Both £5 deposits and £5 withdrawals are offered via leading e-wallets by a lot of the top online betting brands in the UK right now. Most betting sites accept PayPal but some of the other good options that are offered include Skrill and Neteller, which are part of the same company.
Bank transfer: Some betting site users might still prefer to use a traditional payment method like a bank transfer to add funds to their account, or to withdraw winnings. Some sites do offer a £5 minimum deposit via bank transfer, but this is quite rare compared to many other options.
Apple/Google Pay: Mobile betting is increasingly popular in the UK and people with iOS/Android devices will find Apple/Google Pay to be a very handy way to make some small deposits. As well as £5 minimum deposits, the benefits of using Apple/Google Pay are that it is rapid, as well as very secure.
Paysafecard: While not often listed among the £5 minimum deposit and withdrawal options at UK betting sites, some do allow Paysafecard to be used as well as debit cards and e-wallets. Bet365 is a leading option for anyone who prefers to pick Paysafecard when they bet online.
In the list below, we have collected the betting sites that accept PayPal for £5 deposits.
Below, we have listed the welcome offers that punters can claim by depositing just £5 instead of the standard £10. As you can tell, there are only a few bookies that have this.
