Wondering how long it actually takes to get your money from Unibet? We put the withdrawal time to the test using real money and Apple Pay, receiving our money instantly.
In this guide, you will find our full test results, the step-by-step breakdown of the process, and tips to get your money out faster.
Unibet is certainly a heavy-hitter in the UK sports betting industry, considered one of the best bookmakers in the country, and this is not just reflected in an impressive sportsbook. Indeed, there is also a decent selection of payment methods on the site and it is one of many reasons why Unibet was named the best greyhound bookmaker by us, for example.
Below, we have collected the key information about withdrawals at Unibet, from the payment methods available to the withdrawal time for each. Some punters might be slightly disappointed with the lack of the popular e-wallet PayPal, but at least there is one fast (if not more) method to use instead.
Payment Method | Min. Limit | Max. Limit | Transaction Fee | Processing Time |

Those of you who prefer fast withdrawals from betting sites will not be disappointed, as you can have your Unibet winnings in your bank account within just a few minutes. This is made possible thanks to Instant Banking, sometimes referred to as Open Banking or Direct Banking, and it is bound to be very popular among UK punters moving forward.
However, when we tested the site with Apple Pay this same result returned. Which is a massive improvement from the previous three hour result. Unibet deserves praise in that sense, massively.
If you have not withdrawn money from Unibet before, do not sweat it! Our step-by-step guide below is here to help with that.
After opening the Unibet app and signing in, you need to tap on the profile icon in the top-right corner of your screen. Then, select the ‘Withdraw’ option in the menu that pops up.
You will now be presented with the different payment methods and if you would like to pick a different one, compared to the deposit, you will need to enter all the details again. If not, proceed with your preferred method to the next step.
If you intend to use the same payment method you deposited with, then the process is very swift indeed. Simply enter the amount you would like to deposit and tap the yellow ‘Withdraw’ option.
After tapping on the ‘Withdraw’ button, you will be taken to a confirmation screen which confirms the process is underway. It may say the withdrawal is pending, but this is by Unibet themselves rather than something you must do.
In our latest test, the funds arrived in the bank account instantly, when we used Apple Pay, which is a real positive sign.
Once you have requested a withdrawal from Unibet, you will be able to find the transaction in the - you guessed it - 'Transactions' section of the Unibet website or app. Here you will find the history of deposits and withdrawals, with the most recent one located at the top (see the photo below).
In our test, the status was initially 'Pending' but it was processed relatively quickly, as we had the money in our bank account after just over 3 hours. Unibet aims to process all withdrawals within 24 hours and then there can be further delays due to the payment method used.
It should also be noted that Unibet can put a withdrawal 'On Hold' as more information might be needed from you to complete the withdrawal. This could be proof of funds or proof of payment method.
Unibet has set a minimum withdrawal amount of £5 for all of its methods, namely debit cards, Instant Banking (which is a favourite method of ours), Apple Pay and Google Pay. It used to be higher for some of the methods but then the bookie decided to remove these, focusing on offering the best possible limits (almost) for the methods available.
