Online Casino Credit Card Ban
From today, (Tuesday 14 April) you will no longer be able to use a credit card to deposit and withdraw at online casinos licenced by the UK Gambling Commission.
The ban was first announced by the regulator back in January, with operators allowed to continue accepting credit card deposits until now.
The new rules apply to all UK-licensed online gambling brands – including casino, live casino, sports betting, bingo and poker sites – as well as retail gambling.
It is estimated that around 800,000 UK players use credit cards to deposit and withdraw at online gambling sites and in particular at online casinos.
If you are one of those players, this is everything you need to know about the ban and what to do to ensure you can continue to deposit and withdraw quickly and securely.
The impact of the online-casino credit card ban is fairly obvious – from today, you will no longer be able to deposit and withdraw at UK-licensed online casinos with your credit card.
Instead, you will have to use one of the many other payment methods offered to top up your real money wagering wallet and/or to withdraw from it.
The good news is that online casinos offer a huge range of alternative payment options including debit cards like Visa and Mastercard plus ewallets like Skrill and Neteller.
Most of our recommended UK online casinos also allow you to deposit with PayPal and Apple Pay plus mobile payment providers such as Boku and MuchBetter.
