More UK casinos now let you pay straight from your bank account using open banking, often through Trustly. It’s fast, avoids card details and can mean quicker withdrawals. Here’s how it works and what to watch for with bonuses.
1What open banking payments are
Open banking lets you authorise a payment in your own banking app. The casino never sees your card or login details. Trustly is one of the best-known providers, but several others offer “pay by bank” too.
2How to deposit
- Choose Trustly or “pay by bank” in the casino cashier.
- Pick your bank and approve the payment in your banking app.
- The money appears in your casino balance, usually instantly.
3Do open banking deposits get the bonus?
It depends on the casino. Some treat open banking like a debit card and allow it for welcome offers; others exclude it. Always check the payment terms on the offer before your first deposit.
4Withdrawals
Withdrawals back to your bank can be quick once approved, sometimes within minutes. As with any method, complete identity checks early so your first withdrawal isn’t held up.
5Our tips
- Check the bank name in the payment screen before you approve.
- Keep the same method for withdrawals where you can.
- Use your bank’s gambling block if you want a firm limit on spending.
