Sky Bet is among the fastest payout bookies in Ireland. In our test, we made a withdrawal request of €20 with a Visa debit card and the funds landed in our account instantly.
In this guide, you will find our full test results, the step-by-step breakdown of the process, and tips to get your money out faster.
Sky Bet was rebranded in 2002 and has gone from strength to strength, resulting in a takeover by Flutter Entertainment in 2020. Sky Bet is now one of the top bookmakers in Ireland and even sponsors the English Football League.
One of the best ways to test the quality of a sportsbook is via the banking section. There are only four payment options available for new Irish players at Sky Bet, but these are amongst the most popular solutions: Debit cards, Apple Pay, Revolut (via bank transfer) and Instant Bank Transfer.
We made our withdrawal via Visa debit card and the process was instantaneous. Our funds landed immediately in our withdrawal test. We also noted that the minimum withdrawal at Sky Bet is €0.01, which is an outlier but one which we are quite pleased about.
Below, we have compiled everything you need to know about withdrawing funds at Sky Bet, from the available payment methods to the minimum withdrawal amounts for each.
| Payment Method | Min Withdrawal | Max Withdrawal | Withdrawal Fee | Withdrawal Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visa | €0.01 | €35 | No fee | Instant in our test |
Mastercard | €0.01 | €35k | No fee | 1-3 business days |
| Apple Pay | €0.01 | Not specified | No fee | 1-3 business days |
Instant Bank Transfer | €5 | Not specified | No fee | Within 24 hours |
The fastest way to withdraw funds at Sky Bet is by debit card, with our test using Visa proving to be instant from request to receipt.
It would be nice to see some e-wallet payment options introduced at some stage, as the other options currently are Apple Pay, Instant Bank Transfer or Revolut via bank transfer. Apple Pay and Instant Bank Transfer are likely as fast as Visa, though.
It's easy to withdraw money from Sky Bet. Follow our simple step-by-step guide below:
Making sure you are first logged into your account, open up your banking section by clicking the head and shoulders icon in the top right corner.
Hit the big black "Withdraw" button which should be visible at the top of your screen.
There is now a page with your pre-populated preferred payment option. At Sky Bet, bettors must withdraw to the same method they used to deposit until transactions are balanced out (see the net deposits link).
Enter your desired withdrawal amount and hit "Withdraw".
You will now see a withdrawal success receipt claiming funds have already landed in your account, or if not they will be there within two hours. In our test it was indeed an instant transfer. Click on OK to start betting.
To find your withdrawal history at Sky Bet, hit the 'head and shoulders' icon beside your balance. Scroll down the menu until you reach the "Betting Activity" section. Here you will find a "My transactions" link.
When you click this, you can now see a screen where you can filter and load all transactions for the last six months. It is nice to be able to track withdrawals, especially if they are pending.
