The list below shows operators licensed in Great Britain, followed by deposits, withdrawals, fees and limits for a Revolut debit card.
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.
Each operator here holds a Great Britain licence, which the public register lets you verify yourself.
What is a Visa casino?
Revolut issues both Visa and Mastercard as debit products, and with credit excluded from British gambling payments, debit is the only card route open.
Operators licensed in Great Britain have been unable to accept credit cards for gambling since 14 April 2020, and the prohibition extends to a credit card used through an e-wallet. The requirement falls on the operators, each of which assesses the payment types it can accept. A Revolut post dated 10 April 2020 explained the change and warned that some British operators might stop taking its card.
Personal Revolut cards are debit products, which is the category operators may accept.
Presenting a debit card through a wallet does not change its category, so the ban is unaffected by how the card reaches the merchant. And funding a current account from a credit facility before depositing sits outside what the operator can see, which is why the rule targets the payment instrument.
How to deposit at a Visa casino
- Confirm the card type first, since debit is the category a licensed operator can accept.
- Check the gambling block in the app, because a card payment will fail at authorisation while it is on and no retry changes that.
- Enter the card details in the cashier, or select the stored card if you have used the site before.
- Complete the 3D Secure step the cashier presents. This is the card network's authentication layer and it is run by the operator's processor rather than by Revolut, so a failure here is a matter for the cashier.
- Keep the reference, and check the transaction in the app. The reason for a decline appears in the transaction details.
Why a Visa deposit is declined
The gambling block is on, and removal runs to 48 hours.
A limit intervened: your own monthly limit on the card, or the £25,000 weekly category ceiling.
The card was read as a credit product, which a licensed operator cannot accept for gambling.
The merchant declined it. Revolut states it cannot see a payment declined on the merchant's side, and points you instead to the status shown on the transaction.
Previous failures triggered a block. Card deposits can be blocked for up to 30 days following unsuccessful attempts, under Visa and Mastercard processing rules, so repeated attempts make the situation worse.
A frozen card belongs on this list too, since every card payment fails while the freeze is in place.
Stored and virtual cards
A cashier that stores your card keeps a token from its processor rather than your number, which is why removing a stored card at the operator does not affect your account.
Multi-use virtual cards work for online card payments and cost nothing to create; single-use cards regenerate their number after each use and cannot be used for pre-authorisations.
How to withdraw from a Visa casino
Returned to the card, a payout rides the refund route, slower than a credit to your account, and whether that route is used at all is the operator's call.
Return to source is the common operator rule, so a deposit by card tends to mean a payout by card. Where an operator cannot do that, it asks for account details, and the money then arrives as an ordinary incoming payment.
A refund can always be received even if a virtual card is no longer active or its number has changed. Multi-use virtual cards work for online payments, while single-use cards regenerate their number after each use.
Verification is the other delay. Operators licensed here must confirm identity, and completing that at registration moves the slowest step away from the moment you have money to collect.
Visa casino fees and limits
| Line | What applies |
|---|---|
| Purchase in your base currency | no Revolut fee |
| Purchase needing conversion | exchange fee shown in app; counts towards the plan's monthly exchange limit |
| Monthly exchange limit, Standard | £1,000, then a 1% fair usage fee |
| Cash withdrawal, Standard | 5 withdrawals or £200 a rolling month, then 2% with a £1 minimum |
| Cash withdrawal, Premium and Metal | £400 and £800 a rolling month on the same terms |
| Card replacement | charged; the fee is shown in the app before you order |
Conversion is the only line that scales with how often you play. Ten deposits at a cashier settling in euros means ten conversions against one monthly allowance, while the same ten at a sterling cashier cost nothing.
Cash is the other avoidable cost. A payout spent by card costs nothing; the same payout drawn at a machine after the allowance costs 2% with a £1 floor, which on small amounts is the floor rather than the percentage.
| Limit | Value | Who sets it |
|---|---|---|
| Betting and gambling, rolling week | £25,000 or equivalent per 7 days | Revolut |
| Wire transfers, rolling week | £25,000 or equivalent per 7 days | Revolut |
| Non-bank financial institutions, rolling week | £10,000 or equivalent per 7 days | Revolut |
| Monthly spending limit on a card | whatever you set; transactions above it are declined | you |
| Contactless, physical card | £300 in total and £100 per transaction | regulation |
| Deposit and payout floors | per operator | the operator |
Revolut states that it applies weekly limits for card payments based on the merchant's registered business type. The figure for betting and gambling is £25,000 over seven days, and after that you wait for the limit to reset.
The contactless caps apply to the physical card at a terminal and are irrelevant to an online deposit, which is not a contactless transaction at all.
Example: a month of card deposits
Twelve deposits of £25 at a cashier settling in pounds cost you nothing in Revolut fees, because a purchase in your base currency carries none.
The same twelve at a cashier settling in euros mean twelve conversions. On a Standard plan they draw against a £1,000 monthly exchange limit, and anything above it attracts a 1% fair usage fee. Twelve deposits of £25 come to £300, so you stay inside the limit, and the cost is whatever exchange fee the app quotes each time.
Add one payout of £200. Sent to your account details it arrives free. Drawn in cash after your monthly allowance is spent it costs 2% with a £1 minimum, so £4.
How to choose a Visa casino
Match the company printed at the foot of the site against the licensed businesses register. Licences attach to companies, and a brand can change owner with its name intact.
Check that the cashier does not offer credit cards. A licensee in Great Britain cannot accept them for gambling, so an operator offering the option is not licensed here.
Look for identity checks somewhere in the sign-up. They are required of a licensee, so their absence is a warning sign.
Check the payout floor in the payments terms, not the deposit floor in the cashier.
Visa casino bonuses
Revolut runs no casino promotions. Bonuses come from operators under their own terms. The qualifying deposit named in promotional terms is frequently higher than the cashier minimum, and a deposit below it does not qualify.
Visa compared with Mastercard, wallets and bank transfer
For deposits the two networks behave identically. The difference appears in a dispute: when Revolut raises a dispute with a merchant, the merchant has 30 days to respond for a Visa transaction and 45 days for a Mastercard one.
Card or bank transfer
Speed of crediting. The card is immediate at the cashier; a transfer is credited when the operator matches it.
Cost. Both are free in your base currency on a personal plan, and both pay conversion when the cashier settles in another one.
The gambling block. It covers the card and leaves transfers alone.
Getting money back. A card payout follows refund rails; a transfer payout arrives as an ordinary incoming payment, usually sooner.
For wallets and transfers in detail, see Apple Pay casinos, Google Pay casinos and bank transfer casinos.
Pros and cons of Visa casinos
Pros
- A purchase in your base currency carries no Revolut fee, which covers a sterling deposit at a sterling cashier.
- A card deposit is credited at once at the cashier.
- A refund can still be received when a virtual card is inactive or its number has changed.
- Card payments carry a dispute process run under network rules.
Cons
- Credit cards cannot be used for gambling at operators licensed in Great Britain.
- A payout to the card follows the refund route, slower than a credit to your account.
- Repeated failed attempts can block card deposits for up to 30 days.
- The betting and gambling category is capped at £25,000 per seven days.
Is it safe to use Visa at online casinos?
Online transactions can be locked, which blocks card-not-present payments. Revolut states that in-person, Apple Pay and Google Pay payments remain unaffected.
Contactless can be turned off for the physical card, and both wallets keep working.
Swipe payments can be disabled, limiting the card to chip and PIN or contactless, and ATM withdrawals can be disabled entirely.
A card can be frozen, after which any card payment attempted with it fails until you unfreeze it; this can also be done through the automated phone line on +44 20 3322 8352.
For gambling specifically, the control that reads the merchant rather than the channel is the gambling block. A new account carries it switched off; once you enable it the effect is immediate, it cannot be bypassed while active, and removal runs to 48 hours.
Disputes and chargebacks
Revolut's guidance is to contact the merchant first, because most cancellations, refunds and wrong charges are resolved faster that way and it is usually required before a dispute is submitted.
Gather the merchant's response before you file, since evidence of that exchange significantly helps the case.
File through the transaction itself in the app, tap Get help, select the issue and complete the form. Multiple transactions can be added to one form.
Revolut reviews a submitted dispute usually within 8 days. Depending on the dispute type it may be obliged to wait a minimum of 15 days before raising the case with the merchant, under network rules. Merchant evidence is reviewed within 5 days of arriving. Up to 85% of disputes are resolved within 5 weeks, and complex cases can run to 12 weeks, a timetable Revolut states it cannot speed up because it is regulated.
| Stage | Visa | Mastercard |
|---|---|---|
| Initial review of your dispute | usually 8 days | usually 8 days |
| Minimum wait before raising with merchant | 15 days where applicable | 15 days where applicable |
| Merchant response window | 30 days | 45 days |
| Review of merchant evidence | 5 days | 5 days |
| Typical overall resolution | up to 5 weeks for up to 85% of cases | the same |

Visa casino FAQ
Can I use a Visa credit card at UK casinos?
No. Operators licensed in Great Britain have been unable to accept credit cards for gambling since 14 April 2020. Personal Revolut cards are debit products, the category a licensee may take.
Do all UK casinos accept Visa?
A Revolut Visa works at operators that list card payments for a Great Britain account. Acceptance is the operator's decision and the cashier shows it.
Are Visa deposits instant at UK casinos?
A card deposit is credited at the cashier at once. A bank transfer is credited when the operator matches it.
How long do Visa withdrawals take?
A payout returned to the card rides the refund route, which is slower than a credit to your account, and Revolut publishes no payout time for casinos. Verification at registration removes the slowest step.
Are there fees for using Visa at online casinos?
Not in Revolut fees for a purchase in your base currency. A cashier settling in another currency means a conversion that counts towards the monthly exchange limit, £1,000 on Standard and then 1%.
Is there a difference between Visa and Mastercard for deposits?
No. The difference appears in disputes, where the merchant response window is 30 days for Visa and 45 for Mastercard.
