Deposits are instant on every operator in our comparison. Withdrawals are where UK players actually feel the difference — and where marketing pages stay vague. This page spells out what each of our six reviewed sites accepts and how long payouts typically take once your account is verified.
Debit cards — the UK default
UKGC rules ban credit-card gambling, so Visa and Mastercard debit are the baseline everywhere. All six operators take them. Minimum deposits range from £5 (Star Sports, Ken Howells, LottoGo) to £10 (FitzBet, Casushi, LeoVegas). Withdrawals back to debit usually land in one to four working days depending on your bank's processing — not the operator's headline speed.
PayPal and Apple Pay
PayPal appears on FitzBet, LottoGo, Casushi and LeoVegas. Star Sports and Ken Howells do not offer it — if you want e-wallet separation from your main bank account, skip those two. Apple Pay works on FitzBet, Casushi and LeoVegas for quick mobile deposits; it is deposit-only on most UK casino sites, meaning withdrawals still route through debit or bank transfer.
Withdrawal speeds by operator
| Operator | Typical payout time | PayPal | Apple Pay | Min. deposit |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Star Sports | 2–4 working days | No | No | £5 |
| FitzBet | 1–3 working days | Yes | Yes | £10 |
| LottoGo | 3–5 working days | Yes | No | £5 |
| Ken Howells | 3–5 working days | No | No | £5 |
| Casushi | 1–2 working days | Yes | Yes | £10 |
| LeoVegas | Same day to 24 hours | Yes | Yes | £10 |
First withdrawal delays
Every UKGC-licensed site must verify your identity before the first payout — passport or driving licence plus proof of address. LeoVegas and Casushi often complete this in under 24 hours if documents are clear. Smaller operators like Ken Howells may take longer, especially if submitted outside weekday office hours. Budget an extra two days on your first cashout regardless of brand.
Fees and limits
None of the six charge deposit fees for standard debit or PayPal transactions. Some impose minimum withdrawal amounts — typically £10 — and may split large wins across multiple payouts. Check each operator's cashier page for current limits; they change without much notice.
