How Payments Work at Wildies
Last updated: July 30, 2026
Every method below moves money into and out of your Wildies account, which is always held in pounds sterling. Here's what each option involves, how card and crypto processing actually differ, and when we may ask you to verify your identity before a withdrawal clears.
Supported Payment Methods
We built our banking suite around what UK players actually use day to day: debit cards, one popular fintech app, standard bank transfer, and four major cryptocurrencies for anyone who prefers to move funds outside the traditional banking system.
- Visa - deposits are usually instant, UK debit cards supported
- Mastercard - same processing as Visa, credit cards may be blocked by your bank for gambling transactions
- Bitcoin (BTC) - deposits confirm after network confirmations, typically within the hour
- Ethereum (ETH) - faster network confirmation than Bitcoin in most cases
- Tether (USDT) - a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar, useful if you want to avoid crypto price swings between deposit and play
- Litecoin (LTC) - lower network fees and quicker confirmations than Bitcoin
- Revolut - deposits and withdrawals process like a standard card or bank transfer through the app
- Bank Transfer - reliable for larger amounts, though it's usually the slowest option for both deposits and withdrawals
Card Payments vs Crypto: What's Actually Different
Card deposits go through your bank and the card network, which means a bank can flag or decline a gambling transaction on its own criteria, particularly for Mastercard credit products. Once a card deposit clears, it's held on our side as GBP, ready to play.
Crypto deposits work differently. Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and Litecoin transactions are verified by their own networks rather than a bank, so there's no card issuer in the middle to approve or decline anything. That's part of why some players prefer it: fewer intermediaries, and no risk of a bank blocking the payment outright. The trade-off is that network confirmation times vary by coin, and once a crypto transaction is sent, it generally can't be reversed the way a card chargeback can.
For withdrawals, card payouts return to the same card you deposited with, subject to your bank's own processing time. Crypto withdrawals go to a wallet address you provide, and bank transfer withdrawals land in your named UK bank account. Revolut withdrawals behave much like a standard card or transfer payout.
Verification for Larger Withdrawals
Standard withdrawals are processed quickly once approved, but we may ask for identity verification before releasing larger amounts. This typically means a copy of your photo ID and, for bank transfer or card withdrawals, confirmation that the payment method belongs to you. This isn't unusual across UK-facing gaming sites and it exists to protect both your funds and the integrity of the payment methods we support.
Deposit and Withdrawal Limits
Minimum and maximum amounts vary by method and can change, so always check the deposit and withdrawal screen in your account for the current figures in GBP before you commit to a payment. Crypto minimums are often lower than card minimums because network fees scale differently to card processing fees.
| Method | Typical Deposit Speed | Typical Withdrawal Speed | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visa / Mastercard | Instant | Depends on your bank | Some banks block gambling transactions |
| Bitcoin / Litecoin | Within the hour | Depends on network load | No bank intermediary |
| Ethereum / USDT | Often faster than BTC | Depends on network load | USDT value is pegged to USD |
| Revolut | Instant | Similar to card | Processed via the Revolut app |
| Bank Transfer | 1-3 business days | Can take several days | Best suited to larger amounts |

How Payments Work at Wildies
Which payment methods can I use at Wildies?
Visa, Mastercard, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether (USDT), Litecoin, Revolut and standard bank transfer. All balances are held and displayed in GBP regardless of which method you choose.
Is crypto safer than using a card at Wildies?
They're different, not necessarily safer or riskier. Card payments run through your bank and can be flagged or declined by the issuer. Crypto payments run through the coin's own network with no bank in the middle, but transactions generally can't be reversed once sent.
Why does my account show GBP even though I paid with Bitcoin?
Wildies accounts are always denominated in pounds sterling. When you deposit crypto, it's converted to GBP at the rate when the deposit is confirmed, so your playable balance and any withdrawal are always in pounds.
Will I need to verify my identity to withdraw?
For larger withdrawals, yes. We may ask for photo ID and, for card or bank transfer, proof that the payment method is yours. Uploading documents early speeds this up.
How long do withdrawals take?
It varies by method. Crypto and Revolut withdrawals tend to be quicker once approved, while card and bank transfer withdrawals depend on your bank's own processing times, which can take a few business days.
