Deposits: the checklist before you press confirm
This page is not a walkthrough for sending money to a particular site. It covers what to check on the deposit screen of any cashier, so you know exactly what you are agreeing to.
Three questions before the deposit
- Is the operator licensed where I live? Check the licence in the footer against the regulator's register; the review explains how.
- How much am I prepared to lose this session? A figure to decide before, not after.
- How many spins does that cover at my stake? On a high-volatility slot you need more spins to see a feature.
What to read on the deposit screen
| Item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Currency | A foreign currency means a conversion on every movement |
| Minimum amount | It must fit inside the session budget |
| Fees | They may come from the operator or your provider |
| Linked bonus | If pre-ticked, untick it unless you want wagering |
| Name on the method | The payment method must be yours |
The pre-ticked bonus
Some cashiers attach a bonus automatically to the first deposit. Accepting it means accepting a wagering requirement and usually a maximum bet per spin, which on slots like Zombie Blasters can change a session completely. If you have not read the terms, untick the box. How to read them is on bonus terms.
Deposit limits
Many operators offer deposit limits, and some regulators require them. Setting a daily or weekly limit before your first deposit is the simplest way to keep a session from running away. More tools on the responsible gambling page.
Keep the receipt
A receipt or transaction summary helps in any dispute. Save the date, amount and method. If your balance does not update, support will ask for exactly these details.
Withdrawals start here
Your choice of deposit method often decides how you can withdraw: many operators return funds to the method used to deposit. Before depositing with a card or voucher, check whether that method can receive withdrawals; see withdrawals.
Methods and limits depend on the operator and your account — check the cashier. This page describes what to look for, not how to move money to any particular site.
