Payment method

Debit cards on Irish betting sites: deposits, withdrawals and limits

A debit card takes money straight from your current account, and it is the card route left open now that section 165 of the Gambling Regulation Act 2024 bars credit cards for licensees. Deposit and withdrawal limits and fees per operator are not yet recorded, so the table below is unverified.

What counts as a debit card for betting?

Visa Debit and Mastercard Debit are the card names our compliance note lists among the methods operators show. It found no published list of methods used by Irish customers, so this page does not rank methods by use.

Why are credit cards excluded?

Section 165 of the Gambling Regulation Act 2024 bars credit cards and e-methods funded from credit cards. It has applied since 5 February 2026. This page is not legal advice.

Which operators take debit cards, and on what terms?

Do deposits and withdrawals use the same card?

An operator may ask that money goes back to the card used to deposit. That is a question for each cashier page, and we record the rule only where the operator states it.

Stated times are laid out on PayPal withdrawal times, which is the model for how we present them.

What does the table still need?

  • Three or more operators with a payments-page URL.
  • Minimum, maximum and fee per operator.
  • The date each page was read.
  • A check that each named operator is on the GRAI register in the last 30 days.

In short

Bottom line: Debit cards are the card route that remains open under section 165; operator terms are not yet recorded.
