How Long Does a Betway Withdrawal Take? (Our Test)
Betway Withdrawal Times for Each Payment Method
Betway is an impressive product, helped by the fact that the bookmaker has decided solely on its product without launching any sister sites.
Below, we have collected the key information about withdrawals at Betway, including the methods available and the withdrawal time for each.
There is a decent amount of methods available and that helps compensate for the £5 minimum withdrawal limit - even if this is the standard amount for many betting sites.
| Payment Method | Min Withdrawal | Max Withdrawal | Withdrawal Fee | Withdrawal Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Visa | £5 | Not specified | No fee | 2 hours 30 minutes in our test |
 Mastercard | £5 | Not specified | No fee | 1-3 business days |
 PayPal | £5 | Not specified | No fee | Within 24 hours |
 Trustly | £5 | Not specified | No fee | Within 24 hours |
 Bank Transfer | £5 | Not specified | No fee | 1-5 business days |
 Instant Bank Transfer | £5 | Not specified | No fee | 2 hours 13 minutes in our test |
 Apple Pay | £5 | Not specified | No fee | 1 hour 13 minutes in our test |
What Is the Fastest Way To Withdraw Money From Betway?
Although we tested the site with Visa Direct, which is the second-fastest method available, some might be inclined to use Instant Bank Transfer instead. This method is still relatively new on the gambling scene but the feeling is that a majority of punters will switch to it eventually, especially when bookies start accepting it for free bets offers.
This is because withdrawals with Instant Bank Transfers are processed within seconds and tend to arrive after just a few minutes at most. The method lives up to its name, in other words, and it is definitely one that we will put to the test down the line. Having said that, it does not take a test to know that it is the fastest.
Visa Direct withdrawals, meanwhile, tend to take a few hours as this is the result we got in our latest test. This is similar to how long it takes to receive funds via an e-wallet such as PayPal, which is another very popular one among punters.
When using e-wallets to withdraw winnings, Betway says it will take no longer than 24 hours for the customer to get their cash, but in reality, many will receive the funds a lot quicker than this.
For what it is worth, we also recently tested a digital wallet, using Apple Pay, but the test showed that Betway struggled in the first test (7 hours), but improved in the second (1 hour 13 minutes), which is the fastest withdrawal on Betway so far.
How To Withdraw From Betway
It might not be completely obvious how to withdraw winnings from Betway, so we have put together a step-by-step guide which provides some assistance. In the interest of clarity, we tested the process on the praised Betway app, which we recommend downloading.
-
Head Over to the ‘Banking’ section
After opening the app, select the ‘Banking’ option in the menu at the bottom of the screen. You will now automatically be taken to the ‘Deposit’ section, so tap on the ‘Withdrawal’ tab at the top of the screen.
-
Choose Your Preferred Withdrawal Method
In this step, you will be offered several methods of withdrawing the funds. We selected to withdraw the funds with the ‘Preferred deposit method’, but you can choose any available method.
-
Enter the Withdrawal Amount
Now it's time to choose your withdrawal amount. There will be a pre-selected amount, or you can enter a custom amount. After choosing your withdrawal amount, check the tickbox about the ‘Terms and Conditions’.
-
Tap on the green ‘Withdraw’ button
After tapping on the ‘Withdraw’ option, you will be taken to a confirmation page showing that your withdrawal has been completed. You can check the status of your withdrawal from the main menu of the app as well. Our latest withdrawal via Visa Direct took a little over two hours to arrive in the bank account.
Why Is My Betway Withdrawal Taking So Long?
After requesting a withdrawal, you can find the status of said request in the 'Transaction History' section, which says 'Processing commenced on X' right after. This should help you identify the issue.
If the Betway processing has been completed, for example, it could be that there is an issue with your bank rather than the bookie.
Even with Visa Direct, though, we had to wait just over 2 hours to receive the money so it could also be that Betway is slightly slower than competitors even after processing the request.
If the money does not arrive within the given timeframe for the payment method used, we would recommend contacting Betway's customer support to get more information.
Betway's Withdrawal Time on the Weekend
If you withdraw funds from Betway over the weekend, there should not be a delay in the withdrawal processing on the bookie's side.
However, it could take longer for your bank to process the payment, meaning you ultimately might have to wait slightly longer.
Betway Withdrawal Problems
If you are experiencing issues when withdrawing funds from Betway, we recommend checking the status of the withdrawal request, as discussed above. If no obvious culprit can be identified there, such as the request still being in the processing phase, it could be worth contacting customer support. We would recommend waiting until the given timeframe is up before doing so, though.
In some cases, Betway will ask for more documentation to verify your account in order to proceed with the withdrawal. Therefore, you should also keep an eye on your email or Betway account inbox as there could be some information there.
Betway Withdrawal Time: PayPal
PayPal is one of the fastest methods at Betway, and although it does not qualify for the welcome offer, it is still very popular among UK punters.
Withdrawals with this method usually take less than 24 hours, sometimes even just a few hours, and the minimum amount is set at £10. It is not as fast as Visa Direct, though, which is worth considering.
| Payment Method | Min Withdrawal | Max Withdrawal | Withdrawal Fee | Withdrawal Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PayPal | £5 | Not specified | No fee | Within 24 hours |
Betway Withdrawal Time: Apple Pay
Apple Pay is becoming one of the UK's favourite payment methods, but there is certainly some way to go before it is a staple of the Betway experience.
We chose to conduct a test at peak times on a Sunday, and were left waiting more than 7 hours for the funds to arrive. But the second test proved to be the fastest so far, coming in at 1 hour and 13 minutes.
| Payment Method | Min Withdrawal | Max Withdrawal | Withdrawal Fee | Withdrawal Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple Pay | £5 | Not specified | No fee | 1 hour 13 minutes in our test |
