How To Make Your First Deposit

Bookmakers make a habit of making depositing funds in to the account a very simple process, for obvious reasons. They want their customers betting!

From the homepage, log in and the deposit feature can be seen in the top right of the screen next to account options.

Tapping on deposit will open up the preferred payment method on the account. If this is the first deposit on the account, a payment method will need to be set up.

Payment methods accepted are as follows:

• Debit Card (£5-£20k)
• Apple Pay (£5-£5k)

• Paypal (£10-£5.5k)
• paysafecard (£5-£770)
• Click to pay (£5-£5k)
• Wire Transfer (£100-£100k)

Our preferred method to deposit funds is via Apple Pay or Google Pay. However, this is entirely down to personal preference.

Enter the amount you wish to deposit in to the bet365 account. The minimum deposit amount is £5 for Apple Pay, Google Pay and Debit Card. The minimum deposit amount for Paypal is £10 and the minimum for a wire transfer is £100. Tap on the Pay button and if the funds are available, they will be transferred (immediately).

How To Verify Your Account

Bet365 has a duty of care to their customers and the wider public as part of their licensing conditions. Part of that is to do their best in preventing and detecting fraudulent activity and money laundering.

bet365 has an excellent reputation for its service and certainly does not want to damage that to be seen as facilitating crime networks by not being diligent in their operations.

This means that they need to ensure that their customers are who they say they are. This may seem like a hindrance but is a security measure that helps keeps the general public’s money safe.

This process requires the user to verify the full name on the account, along with the address and date of birth. This is usually asked to be completed by asking the user to upload two documents to the Verification section of the app.

This is located from within the account settings. To get there, From the home page, tap on the user account icon (when logged in).

Now head to My account

Tap on verification

This will show what is required (if anything) to verify the account. In this example, the account is already fully verified.

Examples of the accepted documents to verify the details are as follows:

• Name and date of birth – Passport or Driver’s license
• Address – Utility bill or council tax bill

Enhanced Verification Check

bet365 are heavily regulated to make sure they have the welfare of their customers at heart by making sure they are gambling responsibly.

Therefore, if large stakes are being placed, big deposits are going in, or erratic betting behaviour being shown, bet365 may well intervene with extra checks to make sure the customer is within their means and of sane mind.

These types of checks can involve proving affordability by providing wage slips or bank statements. This is intrusive but prevents bet365 from picking up hefty fines. More importantly, it decreases the number of problem gamblers from spiralling out of control.

If these verification checks cannot be satisfied, there’s a good chance that restrictions will be placed on the account limiting deposit and stake amounts until they are.

Therefore, it is important to make sure that you stay in control of your gambling habit. Gambling controls are available from bet365 to help their customers do this, which you can read more about here.

How To Withdraw Funds

Withdrawing funds isn’t quite as quick and easy as depositing. However, it is hardly a major hassle either.

From the homepage, tap on the user account icon.

Now tap on the banking section

Then select Withdraw from the available options.

For security reasons, bet365 has to send money via the same method that was used for depositing. For example, if a debit card was used to deposit, the money requested for transfer will be sent to the bank account connected to that debit card.

In instances where this is not possible, bet365 will fall back to a wire transfer as their alternative method. In our example, Apple Pay was used to deposit. Therefore, the money will be going back to the bank account/debit card that is connected to Apple Pay.

Enter the Withdrawal amount and then enter the account password. This is required to ensure it is indeed the account holder looking to make the withdrawal. All that is left is to tap on the “Withdraw” button to confirm and complete the process.

How To Find Which Markets Have Cash Out

This is quite tricky, as bet365 do not provide an icon or symbol to represent which markets have cash out attached or not. However, from experience, there is a good range of markets that have cash-out options enabled on them.

It is important to remember that bet365 is not obliged to offer a cash-out and can withdraw cash-out options from a match or market at any time.

To find out if any placed bets have a cash-out amount being offered, head to the “My bets”
