Paddy Power Minimum Deposit
It is not uncommon to see betting sites slap a £10 minimum amount on deposits, but the best ones tend to excel by slicing that in half to £5 minimum. This is also the case with Paddy Power, along with its sister sites Sky Bet and Betfair.
You do need to deposit at least £10 to make use of the sign-up offer, which is rather generous by the way, but you can just switch back to £5 after that. In other words, it is something we can look past with ease, especially since it is the case on most sites.
Paddy Power Deposits Using Debit Cards
It appears that Paddy Power prefers debit card deposits over any other method, given that the method qualifies for the £5 minimum deposit amount. Given the speed of payments, too, there is a clear effort at getting people to use debit cards.
| Payment Method | Min Deposit | Max Deposit | Deposit Fee | Processing Time | Triggers Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visa | £5 | Not specified | No fee | Instant | |
| Mastercard | £5 | Not specified | No fee | Instant |
Paddy Power Deposits Using Apple Pay
Convenience is often key for punters, and Apple Pay is probably the most convenient around. The payment minimum remains at £5 and withdrawals are still quick. Unfortunately, though, the site does not allow Google Pay payments.
| Payment Method | Min Deposit | Max Deposit | Deposit Fee | Processing Time | Triggers Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Apple Pay | £5 | Not specified | No fee | Instant |
Paddy Power Deposits Using E-Wallets
PayPal, Skrill, MuchBetter and Neteller are all offered at Paddy Power, but unfortunately, there is a drawback to using them. If you want to deposit with one, you must pay an increased minimum deposit amount of £30.
Of course, you do not have to stake that money instantly, so it is not a massive problem in our eyes.
Paddy Power Deposits Using Paysafecard
Last but not least, payments can also be made using Paysafecard, which is still a popular method for punters. Unfortunately, though, these payments are again subjected to a £30 minimum.
| Payment Method | Min Deposit | Max Deposit | Deposit Fee | Processing Time | Triggers Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paysafecard | £30 | Unspecified | No fee | Instant |
