Paddy Power withdrawal times and payment methods

Paddy Power withdrawal times by method

Paddy Power publishes different times for different payment methods, and sometimes for different stages. We show each stage in its own column: operator processing is Paddy Power's own review and release; payment transfer is the bank or provider's delivery time; a single stated time is used where Paddy Power gives one figure, labelled "request to receipt" or "stage not stated" exactly as the source allows.

1. RequestYou ask Paddy Power to withdraw. UK customers generally cannot cancel it once made.
2. Paddy Power processingNot stated separatelyReview, checks and release by the bookmaker.
3. Payment transferUp to 5 working daysBank, card scheme or wallet delivers the money.
4. Money arrivesYour bank or wallet may show it as pending before it clears.

Paddy Power deposit methods and where withdrawals are paid

Operator-stated, our summary Paddy Power applies a closed-loop ('Net Deposits') rule: customers must withdraw to each payment method at least the total deposited with it before withdrawing to another method. Withdrawals go back to the debit card used to deposit by default, and payment methods must be in the account holder's name. E-wallet net deposits are not shown online.²²⁰²¹

Paddy Power withdrawal limits and fees

Operator-stated, our summary General Terms say Paddy Power does not charge for deposits or withdrawals, but banks or payment providers may. Debit card and Pay by Bank transactions carry no Paddy Power fee. Standard bank transfers are fee-free below the daily limit, and Paddy Power does not charge dormant account fees.^2121315

Published minimum withdrawals range from £0.01 (Pay by Bank (Open Banking via TrueLayer)) to £10 (Bank Transfer (standard)). Maximums, where published, are in the table above.

For how limits and fees work generally, see withdrawal limits and fees explained.

Verification before a Paddy Power withdrawal

Operator-stated, our summary New UK customers may deposit up to £1,500 in the first 30 days, but no withdrawals are allowed until the account is fully verified. Delays in providing requested information can delay withdrawals. Paddy Power aims to review documents within 4 hours, though it can take up to 24 hours, and documents sent outside opening hours (7am to 2am) are reviewed after reopening. A bank statement and photo ID are needed before the first bank transfer withdrawal.²¹²²²

Gambling Commission rules limit when a business can ask for information only at the point of withdrawal. Read verification and your withdrawal rights.

Pending, cancelled or declined Paddy Power withdrawals

Operator-stated, our summary The Payment Methods FAQ describes cancelling card withdrawals (requests before 8pm GMT cancellable until midnight that day; later requests until midnight the next day) but says the feature is not currently available to UK and Irish customers. No UK reversal option is therefore published.¹²

If a withdrawal is taking longer than the stated time, work through what to check when a withdrawal is pending.

Paddy Power withdrawals at weekends and on bank holidays

Operator-stated, our summary Card timescales are in working days, and Paddy Power says bank holidays are not working days. UK GBP bank transfer withdrawals have a 10.30am cut-off for same-day arrival according to the Payment Methods FAQ. Customers are asked to allow 5 working days before getting in touch, and an ARN trace number is only available after 5 working days.¹⁰¹²

Count working days for England and Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland with the working-day calculator.

Lost, replaced or expired cards

Operator-stated, our summary If a withdrawal goes to a lost or expired card, it is still processed (possibly more slowly) if the linked bank account is still accessible; otherwise it should decline and return to the Paddy Power balance. A direct replacement card from the same bank can be edited in Manage Payment Methods; otherwise proof of ownership is needed to remove a card with outstanding net deposits. Customers should tell Paddy Power if a card is lost or stolen.²¹⁰²⁰

Closed or self-excluded accounts

Operator-stated, our summary Paddy Power recommends withdrawing funds before closing an account. If Paddy Power closes an account, the balance is paid back except where illegal or prohibited activity is found. Funds cannot be withdrawn while an account is suspended under investigation. After a self-exclusion, Paddy Power takes reasonable steps to return the balance and may ask the customer to contact support if no active card is available. Self-excluding online cancels the Play Card. UK accounts become dormant after 24 months of inactivity; funds are still refundable.^2182324

What we found in Paddy Power's own pages

• Card timings differ across three Paddy Power pages. The withdrawals page gives 2–5 working days for standard withdrawals and 1–4 hours for “instant withdrawals” to all Visa cards and participating Mastercards.¹⁰ The Payment Methods FAQ says withdrawals take 2–3 working days, or up to 5 working days because of bank processing, and that a withdrawal to an eligible Visa Debit or Prepaid card can take up to 2 hours “in some cases” (limits apply).¹² The General Terms say your bank can take up to 5 working days.²
• Standard bank transfer timings also differ. The Bank Transfers page says 1 to 5 days to reach your bank account,¹⁵ while the Payment Methods FAQ says UK GBP bank transfer withdrawals made before 10.30am reach your bank the same day, and otherwise the next day.¹² The same FAQ requires a bank statement and photo ID before your first bank transfer withdrawal.¹²
• For PayPal, Skrill and Neteller, the FAQ asks how long a withdrawal takes to show in the wallet and answers that it can take up to 24 hours “to be processed” during busy periods.¹² It does not say whether that covers Paddy Power’s processing only or arrival in the wallet, so we show it with the stage not stated.
• Paddy Power’s table of other withdrawal methods, and the per-method boxes in its Payment Methods FAQ, are published as images.¹⁰¹² We have not used figures that appear only in those images, which is why our table has no minimum withdrawal for cards or e-wallets and no time for Apple Pay, MuchBetter or Rapid Transfer. Paysafecard was discontinued as a payment method from 29 June 2026.¹⁴
• The daily limit on cash withdrawals in Paddy Power shops with a Play Card is £1,000 on the Play Card withdrawal page¹⁷ but £2,000 in the Play Card terms.¹⁸ We leave the maximum blank.
• The Payment Methods FAQ describes deadlines for cancelling a card withdrawal (requests before 8pm GMT can be cancelled until midnight that day), then says the feature is not currently available to UK and Irish customers.¹²
• Paddy Power asks you to allow 5 working days for all withdrawals to appear before getting in touch, says it cannot provide an ARN until 5 working days have passed, and notes that bank holidays are not working days.¹⁰
