Virgin Bet Deposit Methods and Terms

Compared to other bookmakers in the UK, there is a lot to like about Virgin Bet as it offers a nice sportsbook, and the Fives promotion is one of our favourite free-to-play games on the market. However, the deposit process is quite disappointing for a brand of Virgin's size, operated by the LiveScore Group.

Customers can deposit a minimum of £5, which is certainly nice, and on the lower side of deposits available. However, this amount is only available on one method which is something we will get into. Below, we have collected everything you need to know about Virgin Bet and depositing funds, from the payment methods accepted to the specific terms for each.

How to Deposit at Virgin Bet

Below, we have put together a step-by-step guide for depositing funds into a Virgin Bet betting account. Just to be clear, we did this on the Virgin Bet app.

  • 1

    Enter the Deposit Cashier

    Once you have logged into your Virgin Bet account, the next step is to head to the ‘Deposit’ cashier. Luckily, this is very easy to find. Simply tap on the ‘Profile’ icon in the top right corner, and then select the ‘Deposit’ option.

    Enter Deposit Amount

    The first step to depositing is to enter the amount. VirginBet allows a minimum deposit of £5, however, we chose to deposit £10 as is the standard in our testing. This is also because a £10 deposit is needed to claim the welcome offer at Virgin Bet.

    Insert Payment Method Details

    Once the amount has been entered, the next step is to select the payment method. We could use a debit card or PayPal - as with all of our tests, we use a debit card but the £30 minimum deposit with PayPal would have pushed us to use a card regardless. Once you have selected your method, insert your details.

    Begin Betting

    If the above has been completed, tap the red ‘Deposit’ box at the bottom of the screen, and you will be taken to a confirmation page to show that your deposit was successful. From here, you can begin betting, good luck!

Virgin Bet Minimum Deposit

The minimum deposit at Virgin Bet is £5, which is very nice, but most of the promotions - notably, the sign-up offer - on the site require you to stake £10, so there are little plus sides to this lower deposit minimum. With that being said though, it has to be appreciated.

Customers will be surprised to see that Virgin Bet requires a minimum £30 deposit amount when adding funds with PayPal, which is one of the highest amounts we have seen when using this method, and certainly pushes customers towards other options. In the past, the PayPal minimum had only been £10 at Virgin Bet, so the steep rise is very confusing.

Virgin Bet Deposits Using Debit Cards

Deposits using debit cards are very common, and when we conduct our tests, we try to always use this method given it is often preferred among punters. With a minimum deposit amount of only £5, and a maximum of £20,000, it is certainly easy to see why this is regularly used by customers.

Virgin Bet Deposits Using PayPal

PayPal is one of the most commonly seen e-wallets on betting sites, and normally, for good reason. However, Virgin Bet customers will probably look elsewhere, given there is a minimum deposit amount of £30, which is absolutely staggering.

Virgin Bet Deposit FAQs

To deposit funds at Virgin Bet, simply tap on the 'Deposit' option in the top right corner or navigate to the cashier via the profile section. Then, choose your payment method, enter the latter's information and add the deposit amount. Tap on 'Deposit' to complete the process.

The minimum deposit at Virgin Bet is £5, which is nice, but most promotions on the site require a £10 bet, so this must be kept in mind.
