Your current Betfair withdrawal options

As you will see from the table below, the Betfair withdrawal time varies depending on the chosen method. Most requests are processed at the quicker end of the scale, which we discovered during our Betfair review in December 2025 .

You can access your bank, make Betfair deposits, and request withdrawals using the desktop site, the mobile site and also the Betfair app. These are the currently supported withdrawal methods:

It’s important to note that you may need to message Betfair when logged in to confirm maximum payouts. There is a limit of £1 million per day, but there are likely to be withdrawal method-specific limits too.

How to withdraw – our step-by-step guide

So, you know now which Betfair withdrawal methods you can choose from. Keep in mind too that when you claim your Betfair new customer offer, you will need to withdraw any winnings via the same method used to deposit and claim. Now, this is how you start the withdrawal process at Betfair:

1. Log into your Betfair account or open your app.
2. Go to the ‘account’ menu, then select ‘withdraw’.
3. Choose your withdrawal method (closed-loop policy may mean you have to choose the same one you deposited with).
4. Enter your withdrawal amount – a minimum and maximum should appear.
5. Confirm your details – this includes sort codes, etc.
6. Tap ‘withdraw’ or ‘confirm’ – you should get a confirmation message.
7. Check your bank/card account or go to ‘my account’ > ‘transactions’ > ‘payment history’.

Betfair withdrawals – times, limits and verifications

As explained above, the timings and limits you experience at Betfair depend on the individual payment methods chosen. These can vary and may affecting by technical difficulties.

Betfair will aim to process your request immediately and will make no charges for this. Your own provider may charge you, such as is the case with PayPal and other eWallets.

Limits aren’t widely known but will appear when you process a request. You can also ask Betfair via live chat what your options are in terms of upper limits. In some cases, you can withdraw as little as £1 from your account and perhaps even less.

Verifications are also often needed. This is part of the KYC – ‘Know Your Customer’ scheme. If you are asked to verify your ID, you will need to upload a passport, driving licence or other accepted official photographic ID before you will be able to withdraw any funds.

Verification doesn’t take long, and once again you can keep in touch with Betfair to confirm when your account will be live and withdrawals allowed.

Troubleshooting – how to fix common problems when withdrawing from Betfair

In general, we didn’t find any real, regularly occurring problems with withdrawing from Betfair. That’s not to say that some customers won’t come up against the odd brick wall now and again. We recognise that and so would like to offer some advice on how to fix potential problems.

Potential problem	Best fix
Different payment method needed	If your deposit method has run out or otherwise been replaced, contact Betfair’s customer service team who can resolve the issue.
Withdrawal funds not appearing	Check the processing time for your payment method. if it has been exceeded, contact customer services.
Account not verified	Contact Betfair and get your account verified. You will need to upload your passport, driving licence or other photographic ID.
Cannot withdraw funds	Check that you are not attempting to withdraw bonus funds before they are available.

Betfair withdrawals – our expert tips

Though we can offer some problem-solving advice, it’s more prudent to show you some best practice when it comes to using Betfair when it involves withdrawing funds. These are our top tips for withdrawing at Betfair:

1. Be prepared to use the same method to deposit and withdraw. Betfair has a ‘closed loop policy’. Other than in extreme circumstances, you will need to withdraw using the same method you deposited with. Have in your mind how you want to be paid out first and then make sure you deposit the same way.
2. Choose the right method for you. With ultimate withdrawal in mind, choose wisely from the list of Betfair withdrawal methods. Make sure it’s a method you have ready access to and ideally one that does not make any charges.
3. Complete your ID verification. Do this voluntarily, or as soon as you are asked. Without your ID verified, Betfair will need to cash out or even keep your account alive.
4. Be smart about when you make a request. Betfair will respond quickly but try to request a withdrawal during peak hours such as from 8:30am up to around 8:30pm.
5. Remember your bonus T&Cs. Some bonuses, such as the Betfair new customer offer, come with terms including minimum bets, wagering requirements etc. If you are placing a bet and can envisage a quick payout, remember that it may not be possible when accepting a bonus.

To compliment this, we recommend that keep in mind Betfair’s key policies, some of which we’ve detailed for you.

Betfair’s key withdrawal policies

Keep in mind the following key terms at Betfair, but remember that you can read their full terms at any time:

• Due diligence – you must complete verification before withdrawing. Your identity and sometimes your address need to be confirmed as accurate.
• Original funds rule – or ‘closed loop’. You should withdraw using the same method used for deposits.
• Main wallet v other wallets – Betfair withdrawals can only be maid from the ‘main wallet’, not from bonus wallets.
• Payout caps – There is a daily limit at the sportsbook of £1 million, though bets of luck to you if you can hit that mark.
• Withdrawal reversals – you can cancel a withdrawal request, but only if you catch it before it is processed by Betfair.

Betfair withdrawal methods – our final assessment

There is a very fair list of withdrawal options for you at Betfair. These options also come with good timings, limits and fees – namely none for processing. The list of options matches the size of the brand which is one of the world leaders in sportsbooks and exchange betting.

Most Betfair withdrawals are achieved at the quicker end of the scale. In other words, the 2-5 working days for a debit card transaction is likely to be processed in two days or less in our experience, though the brand cannot promise this.

We find that it’s best to use debit cards for initial deposits. Considering the closed loop system, you’ll be asked to use the same method to withdraw and debit accounts are best for this. You can also use a debit card deposit to get the initial bonus at Betfair.

Remember to satisfy all the boring T&Cs – they are genuinely important. Verify your ID from the start too, as this is the key blocker to any modern-day withdrawal from a betting site.
