What is a bank transfer

This is a transfer of funds between bank accounts. You provide the recipient's details—the casino or its processing partner—and send the money through internet banking or a branch. The reverse operation goes to your account using the details you specified in your profile.

Bank transfers use international standards such as SEPA in Europe or SWIFT for cross-border transactions. This makes the method universal, but not always fast.

How deposits and withdrawals work

To deposit, you select bank transfer in the cashier, receive the casino's details, and make the payment through your bank. The casino credits the money after the bank confirms the transaction—this takes time because banks verify each transfer.

Withdrawal is initiated from your account: you provide your bank details, and the casino sends the funds. The money goes through the casino's security service verification, then through the sending bank, and finally arrives in your account. Check the exact terms in the cashier before your first transaction.

Frequently asked questions

Can I deposit from someone else's card or account?

This depends on the specific casino's rules. Many operators only accept payments from bank accounts registered in the name of the gaming account holder—this is a financial monitoring requirement. Check the terms with support before making a transaction.

Do I need to pay a fee to the bank?

It depends on your bank's rates and the type of transfer. Check the terms with your bank.

Why can a bank transfer take longer than other methods?

The timeframe depends on the payment scheme, the banks involved, and the casino's processing time. Traditional interbank settlements go through internal checks, while instant payment systems work faster. E-wallets process payments within their own system, which can also reduce transaction time.
