How To Withdraw From Sky Bet
Getting your money out of a betting site is never as straightforward as getting it in. In years gone by, users would typically expect to wait around five working days to see their withdrawal drop into their bank account.
Fortunately, bookmakers are moving with the times and offering faster withdrawal processes, and Sky Bet have several options where the money will be back in your account the same day!
Below we've put together a step-by-step guide on how to withdraw your winnings from Sky Bet.

Sky Bet Instant Withdrawals
If you've signed up to Sky Bet with a Visa or Mastercard then you're more than likely going to qualify for instant withdrawals.
All Visa cards and most Mastercards are eligible for instant withdrawal, and the payments will be in your bank account within 1-4 hours.
In rare cases, it may take longer than four hours. Sky Bet say to get in touch with them if you have not received your withdrawal within 24 hours.
Sky Bet Debit Card Withdrawals
If you're using a debit card that isn't eligible for instant withdrawals, Sky Bet will treat it as a standard transaction.
Much like with other bookmakers, standard withdrawals typically take between two and five working days to complete.
Of all the payment methods available on Sky Bet, this is by far the slowest process.
Sky Bet Apple Pay Withdrawals
Sky Bet is one of just a few bookmakers that offer deposits and withdrawals via Apple Pay.
You will only be able to withdraw via Apple Pay if the card you're withdrawing to has already been used via Apple Pay to deposit on Sky Bet.
As with all other payment methods on Sky Bet, the minimum withdrawal amount for Apple Pay is just 1p.

Google Pay and PayPal on Sky Bet
Why Can I Not Use Google Pay Or PayPal On Sky Bet?
There was a time when Sky Bet offered an even wider range of payment methods with both Google Pay and PayPal available options - but no more.
PayPal has long been a popular payment method among UK bettors thanks to its speed, convenience and low costs.
However, PayPal was removed as a supported payment option recently and the same goes for Google Pay.
On Sky Bet's Help Centre, the reasoning they give for no longer supporting PayPal and Google Pay is:
"We have streamlined our payment options. As well as removing PayPal and Google Pay, we have recently introduced Instant Bank Transfer as a new way of transacting with us."
Customers who previously used Google Pay or PayPal will now need to either use Apple Pay, Instant Bank Transfer or a Debit Card.
Sky Bet Withdrawal Still Pending

The Net Deposit Rule is regulatory standard for UK bookmakers
Most of the time, Sky Bet withdrawals run smoothly without any issues. But there are rare occasions where things don't quite go to plan or take longer than expected.
If using Instant Bank Transfer, then funds shouldn't take any longer than 24 hours to drop into your bank account.
Any other payment method made as a standard withdrawal could take up to five working days.
If there is an issue with the withdrawal request you've made, it could be one of the following reasons:
Wrong Payment Method: Sky Bet doesn't use every payment method available. Check which withdrawal methods are accepted on Sky Bet first.
Verification checks: If you have opened a new account with Sky Bet, a withdrawal request may be on hold until you complete their verification check. Any restrictions on withdrawals due to verification checks will be made clear to you when you first log in or before you first deposit.
Closed Loop Policy: You may have been stopped from withdrawing to a certain payment method due to the Net Deposits Rule. Essentially, Net Deposits are the difference between the total deposits and total withdrawals you've made on a particular payment method, such as your debit card. It means you must withdraw to each payment method at least the total amount deposited before you are able to withdraw any additional funds to a different payment method.
Sky Bet Net Deposit Rule Explained
The Net Deposit Rule has been in place for a few years now and most people won't have an issue with it if they're only using one payment method.
The aim of the Net Deposit Rule is to keep Net Deposits as close to £0.00 as possible and is a regulatory standard for all UK bookmakers. You must withdraw at least the total amount deposited from one payment method before you can withdraw any additional funds via another chosen payment method.
Example
- You deposit £50 from your Visa Card and £30 from your Mastercard into your Sky Bet account.
- That means you have a net deposit of £50 from your Visa Card, and £30 from your Mastercard.
- Let's say you have some success with the total £80 in your betting account, and it rises to £500, and you want to withdraw £200 of it to your Mastercard.
- Before you can do that, you will have to 'Close the Loop' and balance the Positive Net Deposits on your Visa Card.
- Therefore, you will be requested to withdraw £50 back to your Visa, making the Net Deposits on that payment method £0 before being able to withdraw the rest to your Mastercard, and the same applies the other way round.
- How long do Sky Bet withdrawals take?
Standard withdrawals from Sky Bet take between 2-5 working days, but all Visa Card and most Mastercards are eligible for Instant Bank Transfer. That means withdrawals could be processed within 1-4 hours.

- Sky Bet need to verify your account before funds can be released
