Casino withdrawal fees

Casino withdrawal fees at our partners

Most of the cost of gambling comes from the games, not the cashier, but a fee on cashing out still matters, especially on small balances. Here is what each partner publishes. For every other payment topic, see our payments hub.

The Coral wording comes from its withdrawal fees help page (opens in a new tab), and Ladbrokes says the same on its fees page (opens in a new tab). Casumo’s charge is set out in its withdrawal policy (opens in a new tab). Brand-level detail is in our guides to Coral withdrawals, Ladbrokes withdrawals and Casumo withdrawals.

UK rules on casino withdrawal fees

The Gambling Commission doesn’t ban withdrawal fees, but its guidance on restrictions on withdrawing deposits (opens in a new tab) says any withdrawal charge must not exceed the direct processing cost. Its related guidance goes further: fees must be disclosed before you deposit, withdrawing your full deposit balance must not be charged, and any limits on the size or number of withdrawals must be reasonable.

Caps on how much you can take out are also restricted. The Commission’s page on maximum withdrawal limits (opens in a new tab) says no term may cap withdrawals from your deposit balance, and gives ‘You may withdraw up to £50 per day and up to £500 per week’ as an example of a term that isn’t allowed. Much of this follows the Competition and Markets Authority’s 2018 action on unfair gambling terms; our page on UK bonus rules has the background.

Worked examples: what a £3 small-withdrawal fee costs

A flat fee hits small amounts hardest. Using Casumo’s published rule of £3 on withdrawals under £10, and assuming the fee comes out of the amount withdrawn, here is what you’d receive.

The lesson is simple: at Casumo, a withdrawal of £10 or more costs nothing. Casumo doesn’t publish a minimum withdrawal, and its minimum deposit is £10 for every method. PlayOJO, by contrast, says you can withdraw as little as you want, though it doesn’t publish its fees; see our PlayOJO payments guide.

Fees your payment provider may charge

Even when a casino charges nothing, the wallet or card you use might. These are the provider-side charges recorded for common methods. Amounts are on each provider’s own fees page, so check them before choosing.

MuchBetter’s charges are in its terms and conditions (opens in a new tab). Our method guides cover each provider: MuchBetter, Skrill, Neteller, paysafecard and Apple Pay.

Inactivity charges and dormant casino accounts

A balance you forget about can attract charges. Commission guidance says casinos can’t confiscate deposit-balance money for inactivity. A reasonable periodic fee is allowed only once an account is dormant, it must be in the terms, you must be reminded at least 30 days before it starts, and the casino should first try to return the balance to your last payment method.

Your wallet may have its own clock: MuchBetter’s inactivity fee applies after 12 months, and paysafecard charges a monthly maintenance fee after a set period. The easy fix is to withdraw what you don’t plan to use and close accounts you’ve finished with; our answer on how to close a casino account explains how.

The biggest hidden cost: replaying money you meant to withdraw

A £3 fee is small next to what happens when a balance gets played back through games. Every bet carries a house edge, so the expected cost grows with the total you stake, not with what you deposit.

Those are long-run averages; a real session can swing well either way. The point stands, though: cycling a balance repeatedly usually costs more than a fee would. Since 31 October 2021 casinos can’t let you cancel a withdrawal and replay it, which removes one common way this happened. Read more about RTP and how it turns into pounds.

How to avoid casino withdrawal fees

1. Read the casino’s fee terms before your first deposit; the rules say charges must be disclosed by then.
2. At Casumo, withdraw £10 or more at a time to avoid its £3 small-withdrawal fee.
3. Choose a payment method whose own fees you understand, and keep it in pounds.
4. Withdraw to the same method you deposited with, so the payout isn’t held while a new method is checked.
5. Take out balances you don’t plan to use rather than leaving them to go dormant.
6. If a fee appears that you weren’t told about, ask support for the term it relies on.

Bonus terms that cost more than a withdrawal fee

The most expensive withdrawal is often one made at the wrong moment with a bonus attached. At 10bet, withdrawing before wagering is complete forfeits the bonus and any winnings from it, and its welcome bonus caps bonus winnings at £1,000. Casumo’s bonus must be wagered 10x within 7 days, with a £5 maximum bet while it’s active.

Your own deposit balance is protected: casinos must let you withdraw it at any time, even with a bonus active, and wagering can’t apply to it. Since 19 January 2026, wagering can’t exceed 10 times the bonus. Our guides to withdrawing with a bonus active and the 10x wagering cap explain both rules.

Charged a withdrawal fee you weren’t told about?

First, ask the casino’s support team which term the fee relies on and when it was shown to you. If you’re not satisfied, use the casino’s formal complaints procedure. It has 8 weeks to resolve the complaint, after which it must offer referral to a free alternative dispute resolution provider. Our page on casino complaints and ADR lists the approved providers and the steps.

Casino withdrawal fees and our partner offers

Coral and Ladbrokes both say they charge no withdrawal fees. Coral’s bet £10 on slots, get 100 free spins is for new players aged 18+ from 1 October 2026 to 1 February 2027: 10p spins on selected games, 48 hours to accept, 7 days to use and no wagering on winnings; deposits by Neteller, PayPal, Paysafe, Skrill, prepaid cards and certain debit cards don’t qualify.

Ladbrokes’ play £10 on slots, get up to 500 free spins gives new customers aged 18+ 50 spins a day for 10 days at 10p each on selected games, claimed before 23:59 each day and valid for 7 days, with no wagering; prepaid cards, PayPal, Paysafe, Neteller, Skrill and Moneybookers are excluded. Both brands belong to LC International Limited, so you may not be able to open new accounts at both.

PlayOJO doesn’t publish withdrawal fees, so check its cashier. New UK customers aged 18+ (excluding Northern Ireland) get 80 free spins on Big Bass Bonanza with a first deposit of at least £10, at 10p each, with no wagering and winnings paid in cash; it can’t be combined with other offers. Terms apply to all three, and slot losses are likely over time.

18+. Every casino game has a built-in house edge, so over time you should expect to lose what you stake. Set a budget before you play and stop when it’s gone: safer gambling tools and support. Free, confidential help: National Gambling Helpline 0808 8020 133.
