    Can I Bet With My Credit or Debit Card?

    If you stick to online bookmakers that have a strong UK presence, then you can use all the usual cards to bet with (Visa, Mastercard, Switch, etc.).

    You may have heard rumours that you can't use your credit card to bet with online. For UK players using UK credit cards, this is not the case. The problem only arises for US players, where online betting is considered illegal.

    How Do I Open An Account?

    On the homepage of a bookmaker's website, there will be a link that says 'join' or 'register' or something similar. Click this and fill in a simple form to sign up to that bookmaker.

    open an account at william hill today You will be able to choose a username and password to log in to that site in future. Make a note of these, as many online bookmakers only send an email confirming that you have opened an account. These emails often do not include your username/password.

    How Do I Deposit Money Into My Account?

    Some bookies ask you to make a deposit as part of the sign up process. For others, you have to log in and click the 'my account' , 'deposit funds' or similar link to make a deposit.

    How Do I Withdraw My Winnings?

    When you are logged in, there will be a 'make withdrawal', 'withdraw funds' or similar link in your account. Users of debit cards can usually withdraw all their winnings back to their card, but Visa credit card users may only withdraw up to the amount of their deposit. MasterCard do not allow withdrawals back to their cards.

    We recommend either using a debit card, such as Switch or Delta or opening an account with an online payment wallet such as Neteller.

    How Much Do I Have To Bet?

    Generally minimum bet amounts are very small, often starting from as low as twenty pence. Our bookmakers reviews detail minimum bet amounts so feel free to check them out.

    How Do I Know What I've Been On?

    Within your account section of the bookmakers website, you can view your betting history, your wins and losses, your current balance and so on.
