Withdrawing by bank transfer from an Irish betting site: what is stated
No withdrawal times or limits stated by Irish betting sites for bank transfer have been recorded yet. The table below is ready for four or more operators and adds a column showing whether a time is counted in calendar, working or banking days. A stated time is the operator's wording, not a measured one, and banks add their own step.
What do operators state for bank transfer withdrawals?
The column “Counted in” records whether the operator counts calendar days, working days or banking days. Without it, two stated times cannot be compared.
Operator names are candidates, licence to be confirmed on the GRAI register. A row stays empty until that confirmation is recorded.
| Operator | Stated time | Counted in | Minimum | Maximum | Fee | Source | Checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| bet365 (candidate) | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Operator payment page, URL to be recorded | 7 November 2026 |
| Paddy Power (candidate) | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Operator payment page, URL to be recorded | 7 November 2026 |
| BOYLE Sports (candidate) | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Could not be verified on 7 November 2026 | Operator payment page, URL to be recorded | 7 November 2026 |

Bottom line: no bank transfer term is recorded yet, and every cell is marked as unverified.
Why do banking days matter?
A transfer moves through the operator and then through banks. Banks process payments on banking days, so a request made before a weekend or a public holiday in Ireland can add days to the wait.
Whether an operator counts those days in its stated time is set in its terms. None has been recorded yet.
Bottom line: a stated number of days means little until you know which days are counted.
How is a stated time counted?
Example with invented figures: a term reads “up to 5 banking days” from approval. Approval on Thursday 12 November 2026 gives Friday 13 (day 1), Monday 16 (2), Tuesday 17 (3), Wednesday 18 (4) and Thursday 19 November 2026 (5).
The same term counted in calendar days would end on Tuesday 17 November 2026. The two readings differ by two days.
Bottom line: the same wording can give two different end dates.
Which facts still need to be recorded?
- Stated time and the day type it counts.
- Minimum, maximum and fee, with the currency.
- Whether the bank account must be in the account holder's name, if the terms say so.
- Source URL, a quotation of 25 words or fewer and the check date.
Open Banking and bank transfer share one method page: Open Banking and bank transfer. Finished values go to the withdrawal terms table.
Bottom line: four operators with a source and a date are the minimum before a range is stated.
Where do you turn if a transfer is late?
Check the account status first. Then ask your bank whether a payment has arrived or is pending. Then write to the operator with the request date and reference.
The withdrawal times page explains what stated times cover. The checklist before you withdraw lists what to have ready.
Bottom line: the bank and the operator each hold part of the answer.
