Historically, Visa has been considered a slow payment method for withdrawals but in recent years, that has changed completely. Indeed, as many of our tests show below, Visa is actually one of the fastest withdrawal methods around.
We have picked out some of the best Visa betting sites below, based on our own experience of using their cashiers to deposit and withdraw funds.
William Hill is definitely among the best bookies in the UK, even if we disregard the Visa element for a second, and there are many reasons for this. The sportsbook depth is tremendous, the app has tremendous ratings, and there are many payment methods to choose from. We could make the list longer...
In any case, speaking of the payment methods, Visa is (of course) accepted on the site. The minimum amount is set at £5 and the maximum is £99,000. As for the withdrawals, which are fast thanks to Visa Direct support, the minimum is £5 and the maximum is £33,000. Good amounts, in other words.
When we tested the withdrawal time at William Hill, we got the money through Visa after just a few minutes. Other methods we have tested on the site have also been very fast, so William Hill is certainly a good choice if you want fast withdrawals. The welcome offer can also be claimed with Visa, but you probably understood that already.
Pros
| Minimum Deposit | £5 |

| Deposit Processing Time | Instant |
| Minimum Withdrawal | £5 |

From one exceptional betting site to another, bet365 is used by many punters in the UK, if not all of them. The bookie has been a pioneer on the promotions front, offering the early payout before anyone else, and the sportsbook itself has always been stacked with markets. Adding the brilliant app to that, it's easy to understand the success.
A range of different payment methods is accepted on the site, but Visa is the go-to for most punters who sign up. The minimum amount is nice and low for deposits and withdrawals at £5, while the maximum is £20,000 for both. In short, there can be no complaints here, even if the withdrawals could be a tad faster.
Indeed, for a bookie like bet365, we can't say that 60 minutes with Visa is super fast. On the bright side, even if very expected, the method can be used to claim the generous welcome offer. As the title says, bet365 is truly the best option around if you want a very high-quality sportsbook with something for everyone.

If you prioritise design, look, and feel over most things, then you have come to the right place. Virgin Bet has one of the best navigations in the business, so browsing the different options is a great experience. On top of that, the bookie offers many beneficial promotions, including the free-to-play game FIVES.
Visa can be used to deposit and withdraw on the site, with a minimum deposit of £5 and a maximum amount of £20,000. The only caveat is that the minimum withdrawal is slightly higher at £10, but being able to deposit less is more important in our opinion. The withdrawals with the method are also instant, which definitely helps.
The welcome offer has always been quite good and it can be claimed with Visa, as you would expect. The partnership with the sportsbook provider Kambi has certainly resulted in a very good betting site here, and it's no surprise that great strides have been made in a short period of time.

Despite hitting the market as recently as 2023, most UK punters will know of BetMGM already, thanks to heavy marketing and a strong reputation in the US. Indeed, the welcome offers have been pushed heavily by the bookie, along with a very good sportsbook and even some free-to-play promotions.
At BetMGM, the minimum deposit and withdrawal amount for Visa is a bit higher than the others coming in at £10. The maximums differ between the two, £3,000 for deposits and £8,000 for withdrawals, but these are a little bit low it must be said. At the very least, our withdrawal test was very fast at 15 minutes.
The welcome offer, as said at the start, is definitely the main reason why punters have signed up for the bookie. It can be claimed with Visa, you don't need a promo code, and the minimum required for it is the same as the minimum deposit. It's a very generous offer indeed, or at least at the time of writing.

Cons
| Minimum Deposit | £10 |

Midnite is the last bookie on this list, though it's not really in order. The category 'Uniqueness' just ended up here. The site has always had a design of its own and in recent years, with more investment being made by the owner, Midnite has gone from strength to strength. It's almost becoming a mainstream option at this point.
Visa is available in Midnite's cashier, as you would expect, and the minimum amount is just £5 for deposits and withdrawals. The maximum is set at £5,000 for deposits, though unspecified for withdrawals. We got the money instantly when we tested Midnite with Visa, so there are strengths beyond the uniqueness.
Finally, the welcome offer can be claimed with the method and although you used to have to enter a Midnite promo code, this is no longer the case. All things considered, Midnite offers a lot and will probably continue to grow. It's always nice to see an outsider challenging the big dogs...

Visa is a payment card company which, along with its competitor Mastercard, is widely used by people all over the world. While credit cards are also offered, the debit card is the most popular one and also the most relevant when it comes to online betting. As credit cards are banned for online gambling, the default payment method is a Visa or Mastercard debit card.
Visa is available as a payment method on every single betting site in the UK. In fact, new betting sites often have Visa, Mastercard and Bank Transfer as their only payment methods. Visa also has a stand-out feature called Visa Direct, previously Visa Fast Funds, which enables fast withdrawals (usually within 12 hours). This feature is supported by the main UK banks and is truly a game-changer.
Although Visa is one of the most common payment methods for betting online, there are indeed some pros and cons that UK punters should know about.
Most of these are fairly obvious, such as the slow withdrawal time when Visa Direct is not involved, but we have collected three pros and cons respectively below:
Accepted Everywhere: As already touched on, punters can deposit and withdraw with Visa on every single betting site in the UK. The convenience of this speaks for itself and this is something that you will not find with e-wallets, the support of which can differ greatly between betting sites.
Claim Welcome Offers: Betting sites in the UK, even the best ones, tend to restrict their welcome offers to certain payment methods and this often makes it tough to claim them with e-wallets, for example. Visa is always an eligible option, though, so this is great news for those who want to use the debit card.
Low Minimum Amounts: Another good thing about using Visa is the low minimum amount for deposits and withdrawals. This is usually £5, which means it does not take much to start placing a few bets, just as you do not need to make £10+ winnings to withdraw.
Security: Although Visa is a safe method, considering just how many people use it every day, some punters might not feel comfortable with entering their card details on a betting site. That is why many tend to opt for e-wallets, which have portals of their own for logging in.
Credit Cards Banned: The Gambling Commission has banned the use of credit cards on gambling sites and this means that if you have a Visa-issued credit card, it will not be accepted. There is nothing Visa can do about this, of course, but it is still worth highlighting here.
Fast Withdrawals Not Guaranteed: We must preface this by saying that we have registered many fast withdrawal times with Visa. Some of our tests have even been instant, which shows how quick Visa can be. That being said, speed is not a guarantee as some bookies take longer to process with this method, and the same goes for some banks.
Below, we have put together a guide for depositing and withdrawing with Visa on betting sites in the UK. The process is very simple, truth be told, but it could be worth jogging your memory;
Of course, since all betting sites in the UK accept Visa, you simply need to pick the bookmaker that you like the most. If you are indeed planning to use Visa as the payment method, then it could be worth checking out the best welcome offers on the market.
To make a deposit or a withdrawal, you need to head over to the betting site's cashier. You can usually access this by tapping on the account, balance or profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen. From there, you should see a menu option for 'Deposit' or 'Withdrawal', but it could also be named 'Banking'. Then, select Visa as your method.

The next step is to enter your card details, at least if this is your first time depositing funds into the account. For the second time and onwards, these details should be saved. The same goes if you are looking to make a withdrawal, as betting sites tend to put the deposit method as the default for withdrawals as well.

The final step is to enter the amount that you would like to deposit or withdraw. As previously mentioned, betting sites tend to accept low amounts when depositing or withdrawing with Visa, such as Lottoland's £1 minimum. Once the amount has been set, simply tap on 'Deposit' or 'Withdraw' to complete the process.

As most of you will know already, Visa is accepted for nearly every single welcome offer in the UK. Therefore, since listing them all would take up way too much space, we have picked out our favourite welcome bonuses below.

You would think that Visa is a very straightforward payment method to use on all betting sites, but we have actually encountered some issues during our tests of the method. We have explained these below.
