We wanted to test the withdrawal time at BetUK ourselves, rather than relying on the information on the website, so we decided to withdraw the minimum amount of £10. We used a Visa debit card as the method and it should be mentioned that we tested the process on BetUK's app which, by the way, is decent.
Fortunately, it did not take long for the money to arrive in our bank account, more specifically a mere 90 minutes. This means that punters who sign up on the site (and have a Visa card) will not have to wait long for the funds. On the other hand, BetUK could improve the processing times for other methods.
BetUK launched its sportsbook in 2018, following the takeover of the LeoVegas Group, and it has since become a rather popular choice among UK punters. The site was handed a very good rating in our comprehensive review, above all for the sportsbook and welcome offer, but it could certainly be better on the payments front.
Below, we have collected everything you need to know about withdrawals at BetUK, including the methods available and the withdrawal time for each. If it weren't for Visa Direct, this new bookmaker would be in trouble.
Payment Method | Min. Limit | Max. Limit | Transaction Fee | Processing Time |
---|---|---|---|---|
Visa | £10 | £8,000 | No fee | 90 minutes in our test |
Mastercard | £10 | £8,000 | No fee | 1-3 business days |
Apple Pay | £10 | £8,000 | No fee | 1-3 business days |
Paypal | £10 | £4,000 | No fee | Within 24 hours |
Bank Transfer | £10 | £35,000 | No fee | 3-5 business days |
Visa Direct is the fastest way to withdraw your winnings from BetUK, as the winnings will be in your account within 24 hours of requesting the withdrawal. The method has become increasingly popular as the major banks now support it, but there are still many punters who won't be able to make use of it.
The best bookmakers in the UK also tend to have more than one e-wallet supported, such as the popular option Skrill, so this is something that BetUK must improve in the future. Furthermore, the minimum withdrawal amount is currently set at £10 for all methods and that could certainly be lowered for some of them.
If you haven't withdrawn money from BetUK before, you can follow our step-by-step guide below. For clarity, we tested the process on the BetUK App.
To initiate a withdrawal request on the BetUK app, head over to the profile section by tapping the profile icon in the top right corner. Then, instead of 'Deposit' which you would tap for the deposit cashier, choose the 'Withdraw' option to reach the right one.
In the first step of the withdrawal process, you will be presented with three payment methods: Apple Pay, instant transfer or debit card. In our test, we opted to proceed with a Visa debit card.
The final step of the process is to enter how much you want to withdraw. We opted for the minimum withdrawal amount of £10, which is okay but some betting sites - such as William Hill - offer the option to withdraw as little as £5.
Finally, tap the red ‘Withdraw’ button (see image above) to complete the request. In our test, it took four hours for the money to arrive in the bank account, even if BetUK stated it could take five business days.
It should be noted that you don't need a BetUK promo code to claim any of the welcome offers.
