Credit cards for specifically for betting

Using Credit Cards for online gambling is becoming more difficult due to legal restrictions for residents of certain countries & specific Card Scheme rules.

In general :

Mastercard customers are not able to withdraw winnings back to your MasterCard. (ie you can deposit funds but need to use an alternative withdrawal method). Exception: Some UK issued Mastercards will still allow both deposits and withdrawals to/from gambling accounts.

Visa customers with cards issued in Australia, China, Guam, Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, Japan, Malaysia, NZ, South Korea & USA often can't withdraw funds back to their cards.

Where you are allowed to withdraw back to a credit card often you can only withdraw an amount up to or equal to that you deposited with that credit card (so any other funds in your account - winnings - can only be withdrawn via an alternative payment method).

Credit card deposits usually incur a fee of 1.5-3% of the deposit amount.

Some credit card / issuer combinations result in you being charged at cash withdrawal interest rates for gambling payments rather than a normal purchase. Check out your card terms and conditions first!
