The list below shows operators licensed in Great Britain, and the guide covers setup, deposits, withdrawals, limits and fees.
The list above names bet365, 888 Casino, Betfair, QuinnBet, All British Casino, BetCrown, Grand Ivy and 247Bet. Licence and cashier details for each operator are on the main page.
Every operator in the list holds a licence in Great Britain, and you can confirm this in the public register of the Gambling Commission.
What is Apple Pay at an online casino?
Apple Pay changes the way the card number reaches the casino. The payment is still authorised by the bank that issued the card.
Apple Wallet replaces the card number with a token. For this reason the statement shows an encrypted number in place of the last four digits of the card. If a merchant database or a payment terminal is breached, the attacker gets a one-time code that cannot be used again.
The cashier receives a Visa or Mastercard authorisation together with the token. It receives no information about your balance, your plan or the state of the gambling block.
How to set up Apple Pay with a Revolut card
Revolut lists five conditions for adding a card to Apple Wallet.
- The account is fully verified. Revolut does not allow cards to be added before full verification is complete.
- The account balance is not negative.
- The card is a supported type, which means Visa or Mastercard.
- The card has not been added to too many devices already.
- The card is active. A frozen or terminated card cannot be added.
A virtual card can also be added to the wallet. A reusable virtual card works for online payments and in both Apple Pay and Google Pay. A disposable virtual card cannot be added to a wallet, does not support pre-authorisations and gets a new number after each payment.
How to deposit at a casino with Apple Pay
- Open the cashier and find the Apple Pay button. The button is shown in Safari and in apps on a supported device. If it is missing, the operator has probably not enabled Apple Pay for accounts registered in Great Britain.
- Select the Revolut card in the wallet if another card is set as the default. The wallet uses the card you chose last.
- Confirm the payment with Face ID, Touch ID or the device passcode. Apple Pay asks for this on every payment, so the contactless limits do not apply.
- Check the Revolut app for a confirmation request. A payment that you do not confirm in time expires.
- Save the reference shown by the cashier. Your statement will show the encrypted number for this payment in place of the last four digits of your card.
Before a first deposit
Check the licence first. Find the company name at the bottom of the casino site and search for it in the Gambling Commission register. The trading name at the top of the site can differ from the company name.
Read the minimum withdrawal as well as the minimum deposit. If a cashier accepts deposits from £10 and pays out from £20, a win of £15 cannot be withdrawn until the balance reaches £20.
How to withdraw casino winnings with Apple Pay
When a casino pays winnings back to a card in the wallet, the payment is processed as a card refund. A card refund takes longer than a bank transfer.
A refund also reaches a virtual card that is no longer active or has a new number. Disposable virtual cards cannot be added to a wallet, so this applies to reusable virtual cards.
If the operator cannot send money back to the card, it asks for your bank account details. The payout then arrives as an ordinary incoming payment.
Identity checks affect the timing. Every operator licensed in Great Britain has to confirm your identity. If you complete the check when you register, the first withdrawal does not have to wait for it.
The approval by the operator is the stage that varies most, from a few hours to several days. Revolut publishes no payout time for casinos.
The card number a casino asks for
The last four digits shown for an Apple Pay transaction on your statement differ from the last four digits of your card. They belong to the encrypted number that Apple Pay uses.
A merchant may need the card details to send a refund. In that case Revolut tells customers to open the Wallet app on the iPhone, select the Revolut card, tap the three dots in the top right corner and choose Card Number. The screen shows the masked number that Apple uses.
Some cashiers match a payout to the last four digits of the deposit card. Such a cashier may fail to recognise the wallet number, and customer support has to resolve it. If an operator asks you to confirm the card you paid with, give the masked number from the wallet, because that is the number the operator received.
Disputes and chargebacks
Two separate procedures exist for a payment that went wrong. You raise a dispute in the Revolut app on the transaction itself. A chargeback can follow at the level of the card scheme, and it has its own timetable.
Apple Pay casino limits and fees
| Control | Physical card | Apple Pay |
|---|---|---|
| Contactless total before a reset | £300 | does not apply |
| Contactless per transaction | £100 | does not apply |
| Weekly betting and gambling category limit | £25,000 per 7 days | £25,000 per 7 days |
| Fee for a purchase in your base currency | none | none |
| Monthly spending limit you set on the card | applies | applies |
The contactless limits come from regulation on physical cards. The help page says they do not apply to Apple Pay, to Google Pay or at unattended transport terminals. Apple Pay asks for Face ID or a passcode on every payment, so a cumulative limit is not needed.
Revolut sets rolling limits for some merchant categories. For betting and gambling the published limit is £25,000, or the equivalent in another currency, over any seven days. When you reach the limit, you have to wait until older payments fall out of the seven-day period. Revolut sets this limit, and the operator cannot change it.
A deposit in the currency of your account costs nothing at Revolut, and Apple Pay itself is free.
If the cashier works in euros, the deposit and the payout are both converted. Both amounts count towards the £1,000 monthly exchange limit of the Standard plan, and a 1% fee applies to the amount above the limit.
Suppose you withdraw £90 at a cash machine after the monthly allowance is used. The fee is 2% with a £1 minimum, which comes to £1.80. Paying by card from the same balance costs nothing.
Is Apple Pay safe at online casinos?
Apple Pay protects the card number. It does not check the merchant, so Face ID approves any payment that you choose to make.
The operator still receives your personal data through its own registration forms: your name, email address, date of birth and identity documents.
Apple Pay does not make an unlicensed operator safer.
The Revolut gambling block and Apple Pay
The gambling block also works for payments made with Apple Pay. Companies classify purchases with merchant category codes, and the block stops payments to merchants whose code is linked to gambling. Revolut checks the code during authorisation, whichever way the card details reached the merchant.
The block is switched off when an account is opened. After you turn it on, it works at once and cannot be bypassed. Turning it off takes up to 48 hours.
The card security settings include a switch for online transactions, which are payments made without the card being present. The help text says this switch does not affect in-person payments or wallet payments. For this reason, turning off online transactions does not stop an Apple Pay deposit. The gambling block is the setting that stops it.
The same page says that turning off contactless payments for the physical card leaves Apple Pay and Google Pay working.
The app also lets you block a single merchant that you have already paid. Revolut allows up to five active merchant blocks, and up to three merchants can be blocked in a rolling month.
GamStop is a free scheme. Registering with it closes your access to online gambling accounts and apps at all operators licensed in Great Britain.
Drawbacks of Apple Pay at casinos
Some cashiers do not offer Apple Pay. A brand sets its list of payment methods separately for each country, so the same operator can offer Apple Pay abroad and leave it out for accounts in Great Britain. Some operators also use a payment page hosted by a processor that does not support wallets. Such an operator can offer Apple Pay in its app and leave it out on its website. If the button is missing, you can still pay the same operator by card or by bank transfer.
Why an Apple Pay deposit is declined
- The gambling block is on. The payment fails at authorisation, and turning the block off takes up to 48 hours.
- The cashier treats the card as a credit card. Operators licensed in Great Britain have not been allowed to accept credit cards for gambling since 14 April 2020. Personal Revolut cards are debit cards, so this happens rarely, but a cashier can classify a card number range wrongly.
- A limit stopped the payment. This can be the monthly spending limit you set on the card or the weekly category limit of £25,000.
- The merchant declined the payment. Revolut cannot see the reason for a refusal on the merchant's side. If Revolut declined the payment, the app shows the reason under the status of the transaction.
- The card was not added to the wallet correctly. Go through the five setup conditions again. A frozen card or an unverified account makes the payment fail without any message in the cashier.
Do not repeat a failed payment many times. Revolut says that several unsuccessful attempts can lead to a payment block of up to 30 days under Visa and Mastercard processing rules.
Bonuses and Apple Pay
Bonus terms can exclude some payment methods. Wallets are sometimes named in these lists together with crypto and certain vouchers.
Read three points in the bonus terms before you deposit. The first is the qualifying deposit, which is often higher than the minimum deposit of the cashier. The second is the wagering multiple, which sets how much you must stake before the bonus becomes cash. The third is the list of excluded payment methods, because a deposit made with an excluded method does not qualify for the bonus.
Apple Pay compared with Google Pay and the card
| Apple Pay | Google Pay | Physical card | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Authentication per payment | Face ID, Touch ID or passcode | device unlock | PIN or contactless |
| Contactless caps apply | no | no | yes, £300 and £100 |
| Number sent to the merchant | encrypted token | token | the card number |
| Works with single-use virtual cards | no | no | not applicable |
| Caught by the gambling block | yes | yes | yes |
| Affected by locking online transactions | no | no | online payments only |
A wallet changes authentication and the number sent to the merchant. It does not change the bank's view of the merchant.
Apple Pay casino FAQ
Can I use Apple Pay at online casinos in the UK?
Yes, at any operator offering it at checkout to a British account, with a Revolut debit card loaded in the wallet.
Can I withdraw casino winnings with Apple Pay?
A cashier that returns money to the method used sends a card refund to the card in the wallet, which is slower than a transfer. Where it cannot, the operator asks for account details and the payout arrives as an ordinary incoming payment.
Are there fees for using Apple Pay at a casino?
Not from the wallet, and a purchase in your base currency carries no Revolut fee. Costs come from currency conversion and from cash withdrawals above the plan allowance.
What are the limits for Apple Pay casino deposits?
Contactless caps of £300 in total and £100 per transaction belong to the physical card and do not apply to Apple Pay. The betting and gambling category limit is £25,000 over seven rolling days.
Is Apple Pay safe for casino payments?
The merchant receives an encrypted token instead of the card number, and every payment needs Face ID, Touch ID or a passcode. The gambling block in the Revolut app still stops a wallet deposit, since it reads merchant category codes.
