How Long Does a PokerStars Withdrawal Take? (Our Test)
PokerStars Withdrawal Time for Each Payment Method
We assume that most people hear the name PokerStars and think that the site only offers poker games. However, that is far from the truth as PokerStars has everything from sports betting to casino games and, of course, poker. It's what we like to call an 'all-in-one' bookie, as such, and the payment options don't disappoint either.
In addition to easy deposits through the cashier, PokerStars offers very speedy withdrawals as confirmed by our test. Furthermore, there is a plethora of methods to choose from, which is never a bad thing. Kudos to the owner Flutter Entertainment for this.
Below, we have collected everything you need to know about withdrawing funds at PokerStars, from the payment methods available to the minimum withdrawal amount for each.
| Payment Method | Min. Limit | Max. Limit | Transaction Fee | Processing Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 Visa | £8 | Not Specified | No Fee | A few seconds in our test |

What Is the Fastest Way to Withdraw Money From PokerStars?
Considering the number of payment methods available at PokerStars, it's clear that the withdrawal time will vary depending on which you choose. However, our tests with a Visa debit card had the money in our bank account after just seconds (!), which suggests that withdrawals can be very fast with other methods too.
In fact, we have registered more than one good test with Apple Pay, while e-wallets have always been rather fast. Standard bank transfer will probably be the outlier at PokerStars as withdrawals with that method tend to take a few days. The feeling is that most punters aren't using this method anyway, so it matters little.
How to Withdraw Funds From PokerStars
If you are new to PokerStars and would like some help with withdrawals, you can follow our step-by-step guide below:
-
Navigate to the ‘Withdrawal’ Cashier
Once you have entered the app, ready to withdraw funds, you will notice the 'Cashier' box is no longer there. However, this will be replaced by a cash amount, so we tap the box again to enter the cashier.
-
Enter the Withdrawal Amount
Once you have entered the cashier, tap the 'Withdraw' option at the top of the screen, and then enter the amount you would like to withdraw.
-
Read the Terms
After this, you should read the terms of the withdrawal. Of course, they are no different than usual, and there is nothing massively glaring. However, it's worth taking note of the fact that the site requires you to withdraw with the same method last used to deposit.
-
Finish the Withdrawal
Once this has been done, you can complete your withdrawal. After, you will be shown this screen, suggesting that the waiting time for your funds could be 10 business days, which is rather poor.
However, we received our money instantly in our latest test. Visa Direct usually allows for fast withdrawals anyway, but this might just be the fastest that we have seen in our tests.
