Article Summary
Step 1: Log In to Your Online Casino Account
First things first: you need to sign in to your online casino account before you can start the withdrawal process. So, make sure you remember your login details!
Keep in mind that access to your winnings is gated by more than just your username and password. Your identity must be verified, too, but more on that in Step 7.
Step 2: Open the Cashier Page
Next, open the banking page. At most online casinos we’ve tested, the withdrawal option is on the same page you made your initial deposit.
Note that licensed casinos must complete KYC verification before paying out. If your documents haven’t been checked yet, your withdrawal will sit in review until they are, so upload them early to avoid the wait.
Step 3: Check the Casino’s Withdrawal Terms & Fees
Before you place the withdrawal request, check the casino’s terms. See if any specific conditions relate to withdrawals.
The terms contain important information, such as withdrawal restrictions and timeframes. For instance, certain payment methods take longer to process. Also, the casino will specify how long it typically takes to authorise payouts.
What about fees? It’s possible the casino could charge a fee for cashing out. Payment processors could also apply charges, so we also recommend checking their terms. Here are the typical fees that could apply by payment type:
| E-Wallets | Between 0% and 5% |
| Bank Transfers | Between 0% and 3% |
| Debit Cards & Credit Cards | Between 0% and 3% |
| Prepaid Cards | Between 0% and 3% |
| Cheque by Mail | Between 0% and 3% |

Our Expert’s Advice
“Don’t worry about taxes! Casino winnings are not taxable in Ireland – what you withdraw is yours to keep, with no reporting to do.
The only exception: if your winnings sit in a savings account and earn interest, that interest is taxed like any other savings income (DIRT applies).”
Step 4: Choose Your Preferred Payment Method
When withdrawing, most casinos require you to use the same payment method used to deposit. Why’s that? Because of anti-money laundering procedures. When using the same option is not possible, your choice of payout methods may be limited.
Some payment methods don’t support withdrawals. For example, prepaid vouchers like paysafecard are usually only available for deposits. That’s why it’s worth thinking about withdrawals when you first choose a deposit method.
Common payment methods in Ireland include Visa Debit, PayPal, and bank transfer, but there are many more options worth exploring. Below, you can see which payment methods are typically available for withdrawals:

Our Expert’s Pick
“I prefer to use PayPal for withdrawals. It’s easy to use and offers fast processing times. If PayPal isn’t supported, my go-to as a mobile player with an iPhone is Apple Pay, but I must admit that not every online casino I’ve tried offers it as a withdrawal method.”
Step 5: Fill in Payment Info (If Needed)
Sometimes, your payment info will be prefilled when withdrawing, especially when using the same method you used to deposit. If it’s not, enter your payment method details and make sure they all match to avoid delays.
The info you’ll need to provide varies by payment method. For example, when withdrawing via e-wallet, you only need to enter the email address associated with your wallet. In contrast, bank transfer withdrawals could require your bank name, IBAN, and BIC.
Here are the details you may be asked to provide:
- Bank name
- IBAN
- BIC
- Account holder name
- Debit card number
- Card expiry date
- Email address (for e-wallets)
Step 6: Choose Withdrawal Amount
Now is the time to enter the amount you want to withdraw. Remember that withdrawal limits may vary by payment method. So, make sure your payout request falls within the minimum and maximum limits.
Step 7: Follow KYC (Know Your Customer) Procedures
Online casinos must follow strict KYC procedures. At a minimum, they verify your name, age (you must be 18+), and address before allowing you to play. They’ll also tell you which documents you may need to provide. Typical documents include:
- Photo of ID document (passport or driving licence)
- Photo of payment method
- Proof of address
No PPS number is needed. Irish players are verified with documents – photo ID plus proof of address – or by electronic identity checks where available. These requirements are derived from anti-money laundering rules that apply to licensed casinos.
Casinos may still request additional documents as part of security and anti-money laundering checks. This can be annoying, as it can delay withdrawal processing. Still, such requests are there for your safety and protection.

Our Expert’s Advice
“Get verified early. Upload your ID and proof of address as soon as you register – that way, your first withdrawal isn’t held up. I find a bank statement is a good document to have ready, as it confirms your name, address, and payment method.”
Step 8: Confirm Your Withdrawal Request
Check that you have entered all required information, then submit the withdrawal request. The payout request will then be passed to the casino for approval.
Step 9: Wait for the Casino to Process Your Request
All that remains is to wait for your money to reach you. How long will it take? That depends on two things: the casino’s processing time and the payment method.
Once the casino approves the request, here are the typical processing times by payment type:
| E-Wallets | Instant – 24 Hours |
| Bank Transfers | 1 – 5 Business Days |
| Debit Cards | 1 – 5 Business Days |
| Mobile Payments (Apple Pay/Google Pay) | 1 – 3 Business Days |
| Cheque by Mail | 5 – 10+ Business Days |
Casino processing times can vary significantly. Some sites, like NetBet (up to 15 hours withdrawal processing), commit to approving payouts within hours. Others may take up to 72 hours or more, which can be frustrating. That’s why it’s always important to check a casino’s withdrawal terms.
