What Payment Method Can I Use?
This guide explains which payment methods to use for matched betting, recommending debit cards to ensure eligibility for offers and avoid fees or restrictions.
What Payment Method Can I Use?
Bookmakers accept a variety of payment methods, however, we recommend using a Debit Card.
By using a Debit Card you will qualify for all offers without any issues.
Using other payment methods to deposit such as PayPal or Skrill can cause problems.
Increasingly more and more bookmakers are adding it to their terms and conditions that they don't allow welcome offers if the deposit method was made using an alternative to a Debit Card.
Bookmakers may also charge a deposit fee for using an eWallet to deposit. Additionally, Betting Exchanges prefer Debit Card deposits too. Smarkets do not accept PayPal and Betfair charge a 2% deposit fee.
What If I Don't Have A Debit Card?
If you do not have a Debit Card or don't want to use an existing one, we recommend opening a separate bank account, any high street bank will do and this can be very useful going forward.
By setting up a new bank account you can keep your Matched Betting funds and transactions separate from your day to day spending.
Plus, should you be applying for a mortgage in the future, it is best to have a separate bank account exclusively for Matched Betting.
