Debit Cards Payments
Perhaps this is the most widely used method for depositing and withdrawing money in Europe. Of course, you first need to have such a card in a bank, and then to use it. Usually, for registration of a debit card the bookmaker requires the following information:
- Card number
- The name of the cardholder
- The date on which the card was issued
- The expiration date
- Issue number
Once you have registered this type of a card and you want to make a deposit, you will need to enter the security number of the card, which represents the last three digits on the back of the card in the signature field.
The standard minimum deposit that can make via this method is 5 Euro, and it may vary with the different bookmakers. The maximum limit may vary depending on the bank that has issued the card. The processing of the deposit is immediate; and some bookmakers can impose a fee, a percentage of the deposit amount. When you want to make withdrawals, usually the minimum amount is 15 Euro, but it can also vary. The maximum amount that can withdraw has a threshold of 50 000 Euro per day. The main disadvantage of this method is that when you withdraw a certain amount, it is processed and arrives in your bank account within a period of 2-5 working days.
