We have picked out some of the best Google Pay betting sites below, based on our own experience of using their cashiers to deposit and withdraw funds.
As the king of betting, bet365 offers plenty of payment methods and Google Pay is one of them. It is actually the only app we have seen that offers the method on the iOS version as well, which might come in handy for some (although it seems unlikely).
The minimum amount for Google Pay deposits at bet365 is set at £5, while the maximum amount is set at £5,000. The bookie is slightly better than the rest, in other words, especially since the welcome offer can be claimed with the method.
Pros
Minimum Deposit | £5 |

Coral is a personal favourite of ours and most of you will understand why already. Just to be extra clear, though, this is thanks to the bookmaker's strong welcome offer, great sportsbook depth and the ability to get your hands on the winnings quickly.
With a minimum deposit of £5 for Google Pay, as well as a maximum of £2,000, it must be said that the terms for the method are good at Coral. Based on the T&Cs, it's also possible to claim the welcome offer with Google Pay, which is great news.

Truth be told, we could have mentioned any of talkSPORT Bet's sister sites here, as they all have the same platform and payment methods through BV Gaming. Nevertheless, talkSPORT is a very good option for UK punters.
The minimum deposit for Google Pay is just £5, which is nice to see, and the maximum deposit is set at a high £40,000. The welcome offer can also be claimed with Google Pay, so talkSPORT checks all the boxes.

NetBet might not be the most popular betting site in the UK, still lacking in some respects compared to the best, but the growth in recent years is evident. From enticing promotions to the brand ambassador Ray Parlour, the site has a lot to offer.
The minimum deposit is set at £10 for Google Pay, while the maximum is £10,000, and that is the same for withdrawals. The minimum amount could arguably be a bit lower, but the good news is that punters can claim NetBet's welcome offer with the method.

Google Pay is a handy payment solution which allows you to add debit, credit, or prepaid cards to your mobile phone. Google Pay can be used in-store by using the contactless system or for online purchases. It works in the same way as Apple Pay does for iOS devices, launched as a reaction to the former's popularity.
Indeed, while Apple Pay launched already in 2014, Google Pay came to life six years later and has since become a very popular payment method among Android users all over the world. The development has been a bit slow on betting sites in the UK, though, with around 50% fewer sites accepting the method compared to Apple Pay.
If you want to read more about how Google Pay works, you can check out the dedicated page on the official Google website.
Google Pay is a very convenient payment method and it can make your life easier in many ways. However, just as there are pros for this method, there are also cons. Below, we list three of each that you should be aware of before starting betting with Google Pay.
Safe to use: While it might sound a bit unsafe to add your debit card details to your phone, Google Pay uses a very advanced system to ensure the privacy of these details. Furthermore, you will not be sharing the details directly with the bookmaker. Just like its competitors, therefore, Google Pay is considered safe to use.
Speed and convenience: For many punters, speed is of the essence and using Google Pay as the payment method ensures this. Instead of having to fiddle with a physical card, the details are already stored in the phone. This could prove crucial if you need to place a live bet before the odds change.
Low minimum deposits: Most of the betting sites that accept Google Pay also have a rather low minimum deposit for said method. Obviously, this is very handy.
Few bookies accept it: Unlike Apple Pay, for which you will find over 10 bookies, there are significantly fewer that accept Google Pay. This is bound to change in the future, but this is still something that punters will have to take into consideration now.
Welcome offer ineligibility: Most betting sites restrict their UK welcome offers to certain payment methods. In fact, only a few of the sites that accept Google Pay allow punters to claim the welcome offer with this method. This could be a deal-breaker for many punters and rightfully so.
Uncertain withdrawal speed: At the end of the day, Google Pay uses your debit card to deposit and withdraw funds, meaning the withdrawal time will vary depending on which debit cards you have (Mastercard or Visa).
If you are unfamiliar with the deposit and withdrawal process of Google Pay, we have you covered with our test and step-by-step guide below. It should be noted that we used Midnite for our test.
Obviously, the first step is to choose a bookmaker that accepts Google Pay, which you can easily do with our list at the top of this page. Simply tap on the one you like and you will be brought to the betting site where you can register or log in. We chose Midnite.
On most sites, it will be a case of tapping the profile/balance icon in the top-right corner and then 'Deposit'. This should take you to the cashier, where you can choose Google Pay as the method and enter the deposit amount.
At least at Midnite, you can only have one method at a time, so you will need to remove any other methods from your profile if you would like to use Google Pay.
After tapping the 'Pay' button, which you can see in the image above, you will be taken to a Google Play pop-up. If you already have a debit card added, it will simply be a case of confirming the transaction, but you will need to add a card if you haven't already.
If everything went well, you will be redirected to the site - Midnite in our case - where you should see the deposited amount in your account. This means that you can start placing bets.
To withdraw money from a site through Google Pay, you simply need to head back to the cashier and tap the 'Withdraw' tab instead. The method should be the same as the one you deposited with, so in this case Google Pay. You can also choose the amount.
Finally, make sure that all of the selections are correct and tap 'Withdraw', which will complete the withdrawal request. In our test, we had the money in our account instantly, which is a fantastic result and shows that Google Pay can be quick.
