Use only the in-account cashier

Deposit and withdraw through the cashier inside the verified website or app. Payment details sent to you in a chat, by a “agent” or through a link are the main route for fraud.

How to deposit safely

  1. Check your limit firstMake sure the amount fits the budget you set; see our limits guide.
  2. Choose a method in your own nameThe payer name should match the account name. Using a third party’s wallet or card often blocks later withdrawals.
  3. Read the fees and minimumsAny charge should be shown before you confirm.
  4. Confirm the recipient details on screenDo not accept account numbers that arrive in a message.
  5. Keep the receiptSave a screenshot with the date, amount and reference number.

How to withdraw smoothly

  • Complete identity verification early so the first withdrawal is not delayed.
  • Withdraw to the same method used for deposits where possible.
  • Check that any active bonus does not carry wagering that blocks the request.
  • Expect a review period. The operator should state typical processing times in its terms.

Scams to recognise

  • Release fees: being asked to pay tax or a fee before winnings are released.
  • Fake agents: accounts offering faster withdrawals for a payment.
  • Screenshot tricks: forged “transfer successful” images used to claim a payment was sent.

Conclusion

Use the in-account cashier, match names, keep receipts and be sceptical of anyone offering a shortcut. If a payment does go wrong, follow our steps for reporting a problem properly.
