Paddy Power withdrawal time in 2026: all payment options
By Daniel Simpson, Founder and editor, BettingApps.org
Paddy Power says Pay by Bank is its quickest withdrawal method, with the money appearing in your bank immediately. Allow at least 90 minutes for your first Pay by Bank withdrawal. Apple Pay is also listed as instant. Its withdrawal page puts eligible Visa and Mastercard withdrawals at 1 to 4 hours. PayPal, Skrill and Neteller take up to 24 hours, and standard card withdrawals and bank transfers can take up to 5 working days.
There’s a catch to choosing the fastest method. Paddy Power’s net deposits rule sends money back to each method you deposited with first, so if you deposited by card, your card gets its deposits back before Pay by Bank can be used.
These are the Paddy Power withdrawal times for UK customers. Where two of its help pages disagree, the table leads with the figure to plan on.
| Method | Minimum | UK withdrawal time | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay by Bank | 1p | Instant | Allow at least 90 minutes for your first one |
| Visa or participating Mastercard, instant withdrawal | 1p | 1 to 4 hours (the payment FAQ says up to 2 hours for eligible Visa debit) | If it hasn’t arrived after 4 hours, your card probably isn’t eligible and it becomes a standard withdrawal |
| Debit card, standard withdrawal | 1p | Up to 5 working days (2 to 5 on the withdrawal page, 2 to 3 on the payment FAQ) | Bank holidays don’t count as working days |
| Apple Pay | 1p | Instant | Only to a card you’ve deposited from with Apple Pay |
| PayPal | £5 | 4 to 24 hours | Longest during busy periods |
| Skrill | £5 | 4 to 24 hours | Longest during busy periods |
| Neteller | £5 | 4 to 24 hours | Longest during busy periods |
| MuchBetter | £5 | 4 to 24 hours | |
| Rapid Transfer | £5 | 4 to 24 hours | After your first deposit has been credited |
| Bank transfer | £5 or £10 (the pages differ) | Up to 5 days (pages range from same day to 5 days) | Your first one needs a bank statement and photo ID |
| Play Card (cash in a Paddy Power shop) | Not stated | Cash at the counter | Up to £1,000 a day |
| Paysafecard | Not available | Not available | Discontinued in June 2026 |
In Ireland, the withdrawals table puts bank transfers at 1 to 5 working days. The Pay by Bank page says instant withdrawals there are available for Revolut users, with other banks typically within 2 to 6 hours.
How long do Paddy Power withdrawals take?
Pay by Bank: the fastest Paddy Power withdrawal
Pay by Bank runs on Open Banking, and you’ll find it on the Popular tab of the withdrawals page. In Paddy Power’s words, “The quickest withdrawal method is via Pay by Bank.” After your first Pay by Bank withdrawal, which needs at least 90 minutes, withdrawals should be instant. If the money hasn’t arrived after 90 minutes, Paddy Power asks you to wait 24 hours before getting in touch. UK customers need a sterling account with an eligible bank, and there are no fees for Pay by Bank.
Debit card withdrawals: 1 to 4 hours or up to 5 working days
Card withdrawals come in two speeds. All Visa cards and participating Mastercards are eligible for instant withdrawals, which the withdrawal page says should reach your bank within 1 to 4 hours. If a withdrawal hasn’t arrived after 4 hours, your card probably isn’t eligible, and it’s treated as a standard withdrawal of 2 to 5 working days.
This is Paddy Power’s own table of when a standard card withdrawal should arrive, by the day you request it:
| Withdrawal requested | Earliest arrival | Latest arrival |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Wednesday | Following Monday |
| Tuesday | Thursday | Following Tuesday |
| Wednesday | Friday | Following Wednesday |
| Thursday | Monday | Following Thursday |
| Friday | Tuesday | Following Friday |
| Saturday | Wednesday | Following Friday |
| Sunday | Wednesday | Following Friday |
The payment FAQ gives different figures. For eligible Visa debit and prepaid cards, it says some withdrawals arrive within 2 hours. For other cards, it says 2 to 3 working days, and up to 5. Credit cards aren’t accepted for deposits or withdrawals in the UK.
Paddy Power Apple Pay withdrawal time
Apple Pay withdrawals are listed as instant, from a minimum of 1p, although the payment FAQ says Visa debit cards linked to Apple Pay can take up to 2 hours in some cases. You can only withdraw to Apple Pay if the card you’re withdrawing to is one you’ve already deposited from with Apple Pay on your Paddy Power account.
Paddy Power PayPal withdrawal time (and Skrill and Neteller)
Withdrawals to PayPal, Skrill and Neteller take 4 to 24 hours, with the longer waits during busy periods. PayPal sits on the Other Methods tab of the withdrawals page, not under Popular.
MuchBetter and Rapid Transfer
MuchBetter and Rapid Transfer withdrawals also take 4 to 24 hours. You can withdraw via Rapid Transfer after your first deposit has been successfully credited, and the net deposits rule applies.
Play Card: cash withdrawals in a Paddy Power shop
The Play Card lets you take your balance out as cash in a shop. Paddy Power’s help centre still files it under the cash card. In any Paddy Power shop in the UK or Ireland, scan the card on a betting machine, choose Withdraw, print the ticket and collect your cash at the counter. Cash withdrawals are limited to £1,000 a day (€1,000 in Ireland), and cash deposits to £2,500 (€2,500). When you withdraw cash with a Play Card, what you can take out can be lower than your balance. Paddy Power’s Play Card help puts that down to free bets it gave you, a recent deposit, or credit card funds in your account on gaming machines. If you lose the card, any shop will give you a new one for free, and Customer Services then links it to your account.
Paddy Power bank transfer withdrawal time
Standard bank transfers are where Paddy Power’s help pages disagree. The withdrawals table says 1 to 3 working days. The payment FAQ says sterling transfers requested before 10.30am arrive the same day and later ones the next day. The bank transfer page says 1 to 5 days, so plan on 5.
Before your first bank transfer withdrawal, you’ll need to send Paddy Power a bank statement and photo ID, and the withdrawal waits until they arrive. Standard transfers also have a daily limit, shown when you withdraw, and going over it can mean a rejected transfer and a fee.
How to withdraw from Paddy Power casino and sports betting
The steps are the same for the casino, because Paddy Power Games uses the same account as the sportsbook.
- Go to the withdrawal section of your account.
- Choose the Popular tab for Pay by Bank, debit cards and Apple Pay, or Other Methods for e-wallets such as PayPal.
- Pick the method and enter the amount.
- Tap Withdraw. The button is green when a withdrawal is available and grey when it isn’t, and Paddy Power tells you straight away whether it worked.
If your card or payment method doesn’t accept withdrawals, Paddy Power says to use a bank transfer from the Other Methods tab. Poker winnings from the last 72 hours are held in the poker wallet and can’t be withdrawn straight away, and anything in the poker wallet has to be transferred out before you withdraw it.
Paddy Power minimum withdrawal and withdrawal limits
The minimum withdrawal is 1p for Pay by Bank and Apple Pay, and £5 for PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, MuchBetter and Rapid Transfer. For standard bank transfers, the withdrawals table says £5 and the bank transfer page says £10. For debit cards, another of its help pages gives 1p.
For online withdrawals, Paddy Power’s help pages don’t give a single maximum. The only cap with a published figure is on cash: Play Card withdrawals in a shop are limited to £1,000 a day. Pay by Bank limits depend on your bank, standard bank transfers have a daily limit shown when you withdraw, and the payment FAQ says limits apply to fast Visa withdrawals without giving a figure. The maximum payout limits in Paddy Power’s terms are something else: they cap what your bets can win in a day, not what you can withdraw.
Why is my Paddy Power withdrawal pending or not in my bank?
First, check your recent withdrawals, which are listed in your account when you’re logged in. Paddy Power tells you when you withdraw whether it worked, and if it didn’t, to try again later. After that, how long to wait depends on the method, and Paddy Power names a point at which to get in touch for some of them, through the Message Us button in its help centre:
- Pay by Bank: if it hasn’t arrived 90 minutes after your first withdrawal, wait 24 hours, then message.
- Instant card withdrawals: if it hasn’t arrived within 4 hours, it’s probably a standard withdrawal. If an instant withdrawal you’re used to getting hasn’t arrived within 24 hours, message.
- Apple Pay: it’s listed as instant, though the payment FAQ says a Visa debit card linked to Apple Pay can take up to 2 hours in some cases.
- Standard card withdrawals: “Please make sure you allow the full 5 working days to elapse before getting in touch.” After that, Paddy Power can give you an ARN (Acquirer Reference Number) within 24 hours, a 16-digit receipt your bank can use to find the money.
- Several withdrawals at once: they may not arrive in the order you made them.
- Revolut: see the Revolut answer in the FAQ below.
- Any method: if a withdrawal still hasn’t arrived after 5 working days, Paddy Power asks you to message its customer support team.
- Lost or expired card: cancel the card with your bank. The withdrawal still goes through while the account number and sort code are live, though it may take longer. Otherwise it should decline and return to your Paddy Power balance.
Why can’t I withdraw money from my Paddy Power account?
For Paddy Power withdrawal problems, the help centre gives four reasons a withdrawal won’t go through:
- you haven’t met the net deposits rule (below)
- your new account still needs verifying
- you haven’t made a deposit yet, which is how your card gets verified
- the card or method you chose doesn’t accept withdrawals
If Paddy Power asks for documents, you’ll need one photo ID and a separate proof of address. It aims to review them within 4 hours, though it can take up to 24, and the team works from 7am to 2am. Paddy Power can also ask some customers for proof of where their money comes from (source of funds), and may restrict the account if you can’t provide it.
The net deposits rule (closed loop policy)
The rule decides where your first withdrawals can go. Every method you deposited with has to get back at least what you paid in with it before money can go anywhere else. Paddy Power’s terms call it the closed loop policy and describe it as a regulatory requirement. If you want your winnings back through Pay by Bank, the simplest way is to deposit with Pay by Bank too.
Paddy Power withdrawal FAQ
How do I get a fast withdrawal from Paddy Power?
Use Pay by Bank, which Paddy Power calls its quickest method, once your first withdrawal (allow at least 90 minutes) is done. Apple Pay is also listed as instant. Remember the net deposits rule: if you deposited by card, the card gets its deposits back first.
How long does Paddy Power take to withdraw to Revolut?
Paddy Power’s help pages don’t give a Revolut time for UK customers, so it depends on how you withdraw. Through Pay by Bank, if your Revolut account is an eligible sterling account, withdrawals should be instant after the first one. To a Revolut card, the card times apply: 1 to 4 hours for an instant withdrawal by the withdrawal page, or up to 5 working days for a standard one. In Ireland, the Pay by Bank page says instant withdrawals are available for Revolut users.
What is the maximum withdrawal from Paddy Power?
Paddy Power’s help pages don’t give one for online withdrawals. The only cap with a published figure is the Play Card’s daily limit on cash withdrawals in a shop.
Does Paddy Power charge for withdrawals?
No. Paddy Power’s terms say it doesn’t charge for deposits or withdrawals, though your bank or payment provider might. Its bank transfer page warns that a standard transfer over the daily limit can be rejected and incur a fee.
Can Paddy Power refuse to pay out?
In set cases, yes, and its terms list them. They say you can usually withdraw your balance at any time. The exceptions: withdrawals wait until your deposits have cleared and your verification checks are done, and when there is, or has been, an investigation into things like suspicious betting, money laundering or a malfunction. A suspended account’s money can’t be withdrawn while it’s suspended. After a software error, or if it shows you wrong information such as incorrect terms or winnings, the terms give Paddy Power the right not to pay out. Maximum payout limits also cap what bets can win in a day.
Can I cancel a Paddy Power withdrawal?
Not a card withdrawal in the UK or Ireland. The payment FAQ says cancelling a card withdrawal “is not currently available to UK & Irish customers”, and the money leaves your Paddy Power balance as soon as you withdraw.
Can I withdraw to a credit card or Paysafecard?
No. Credit cards aren’t accepted for deposits or withdrawals in the UK, and Paddy Power stopped taking Paysafecard on 29 June 2026.
