The Pools has deep roots in the gambling industry but the sportsbook, as well as the casino section, is still a young product and this shows on the payment methods front. Only debit cards and PayPal are accepted by the bookie and while this will certainly suffice for most, it is worth keeping in mind.
Below, we have collected everything you need to know about withdrawing funds from The Pools. In addition to withdrawal time, we have also listed the minimum withdrawal amount for each payment method at The Pools.
Payment Method | Min. Limit | Max. Limit | Transaction Fee | Processing Time |
---|---|---|---|---|
![]() Visa | £5 | Not specified | No fee | 45 minutes in our test |
![]() Mastercard | £5 | Not specified | No fee | 2-5 business days |
![]() Paypal | £5 | Not specified | No fee | 2-5 business days |
Getting your hands on winnings quickly, from the betting account to the bank ditto, is crucial for punters and The Pools delivers on this front. Thanks to the Visa Direct feature, available for Visa debit cards, customers can receive their funds in less than an hour (45 minutes in our case) after submitting a withdrawal request.
This method thus guarantees fast withdrawals for UK punters. Unfortunately, there is no similar feature for customers with a Mastercard, at least not for now. Additionally, only having PayPal (albeit fast) as another available method is quite limiting, so if The Pools added other methods, perhaps the bookie could grow even more.
If you are new to The Pools and would like to find out how to withdraw funds, you can follow our step-by-step guide below, which we made with the help of The Pools' website.
When you have logged in to your The Pools account, tap the profile icon in the top right corner of the website, and then tap the 'Withdraw' option when prompted.
Once you have entered the cashier, you will be shown the most recent payment methods used. We have only used one method, so we were only prompted to use the same one.
After choosing the payment method for the withdrawal, you need to enter the amount that you would like to withdraw. The new minimum withdrawal amount is £5, which again is nice, considering it was previously £10.
Finally, once the above has been completed, tap the 'Withdraw' button, which will take you to a receipt screen. In our test, it took 45 minutes for the funds to reach our bank account, making the withdrawal process very quick from start to finish.
