How Long Does a Betfair Withdrawal Take? (Our Test)
Betfair Withdrawal Time for Each Payment Method
Betfair is one of the biggest UK betting sites, and it's unlikely that you haven't heard of the site. Offering both a sportsbook and an exchange, you could describe it as one of the most versatile platforms for punters. One of the key things for this is the excellent withdrawal times.
Below, therefore, we have collected everything you need to know about withdrawing funds from the site. In addition to the minimum withdrawal amounts, we have listed the withdrawal time for each payment method at Betfair.

What Is the Fastest Way to Withdraw Money From Betfair?
When conducting our test at Betfair, we found that withdrawals were instant when using a Visa debit card, either directly or through Apple Pay. Pay by Bank, also known as Instant Banking, is another fast way of withdrawing funds from the bookie.
As you imagine, traditional bank transfers take the longest time to process and payout, with the bookmaker stating that it could take up to five business days for your money to arrive. Certainly not ideal, even if few punters use that method anyway.

Betfair Withdrawal Status and History
Thankfully, we never needed to check the status of our withdrawal with Betfair thanks to the speed, which is only a positive. However, if your withdrawal doesn't go through immediately and you want to track the status, you can do so on the app or online.
Simply head back to the withdrawal cashier, and then select the 'Pending' tab, which shows the transactions you are waiting for. A very easy thing to check, as it should be!
