Stakemate Deposits, Limits and Fees
Play with bonus
Start a deposit from Wallet Balance and use one of the deposit methods currently available to your account. The standard minimum deposit is £5, or the applicable currency equivalent where another supported currency applies.
Stakemate does not charge its own deposit fee, although your bank or payment provider may apply a separate charge. The payment method used for a deposit must belong to the account holder, and daily, weekly or monthly deposit limits can also apply.
Making a Deposit from Wallet Balance
Wallet Balance is the confirmed starting point when you want to add funds to your account. From there, use the deposit options currently shown for your account rather than assuming that a particular payment method will always be available.
The standard minimum deposit is £5 or the applicable currency equivalent. The payment method you choose must belong to you as the account holder.
- Open Wallet Balance to begin the deposit process.
- Check the deposit methods currently available to your account.
- Make sure the amount meets the standard £5 minimum or applicable currency equivalent.
- Use a payment method held in your own name.
Deposits add funds to your account; if you need to move funds out instead, check the withdrawal rules for the separate process.
Minimum Deposits and Possible Fees
The standard minimum deposit is £5, or the applicable currency equivalent. This minimum is separate from any daily, weekly or monthly deposit limit set on the account.
Stakemate does not charge its own deposit fee. Your bank or payment provider may nevertheless charge a fee independently, so an external charge should not automatically be treated as a Stakemate fee.
Standard minimum deposit: £5 or the applicable currency equivalent.
Stakemate deposit fee: no Stakemate fee is charged.
Bank or payment provider: a separate external fee may apply.
Available Methods and Payment Ownership
The deposit methods available to you are the methods currently shown for your account. Availability can differ, so use the current account options instead of relying on a fixed list of payment methods.
The method used for the deposit must belong to the account holder. Payment ownership can also form part of account checks, together with other information requested where required.
- Check the deposit methods currently shown for your account.
- Use a payment method held in your own name.
- Do not assume an unlisted method is available.
- Be prepared to confirm payment ownership if an account check requires it.
If we ask you to confirm payment ownership or provide supporting information, the verification requirements explain the checks in more detail.
Daily, Weekly and Monthly Limits
Deposit limits can be set on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. These limits control how much can be deposited over the relevant period and are separate from the standard £5 minimum for an individual deposit.
A deposit limit is also one of the account controls available for safer gambling. The period you choose determines whether the limit applies over a day, a week or a month.
A daily deposit limit applies over the daily period.
A weekly deposit limit applies over the weekly period.
A monthly deposit limit applies over the monthly period.
Deposit limits are one of the account controls covered by our safer gambling tools.
Changing Your Deposit Limit
Raising and lowering a deposit limit are treated differently. An increase does not apply immediately: the higher limit takes effect after 24 hours.
A decrease works in the opposite way. When you lower the deposit limit, the reduction applies immediately.
If you raise the limit, the increase applies after 24 hours.
If you lower the limit, the decrease applies immediately.
The timing applies to the direction of the change, so do not assume that both increases and decreases are subject to the same delay.
Common Situations With Account Deposits
When a deposit does not match what you expected, start with the amount, the available method, any external fee and the limits set on the account. Each of these conditions is separate and can require a different next step.
Your Deposit Is Below £5
The standard minimum deposit is £5 or the applicable currency equivalent. If the amount is below that standard minimum, increase it to at least the applicable minimum before trying again.
Your Bank Adds a Fee
Stakemate does not charge its own deposit fee, but your bank or payment provider may apply a separate charge. Check who applied the fee before treating it as a Stakemate charge.
Your Payment Method Is Not Available
Use the deposit methods currently shown for your account. If a method is not displayed as available, do not assume that it can be used or that a particular alternative method will be offered.
You Want to Raise a Limit
A deposit-limit increase takes effect after 24 hours. Allow for that delay rather than expecting the higher limit to apply immediately.
You Want to Lower a Limit
A deposit-limit decrease applies immediately. The 24-hour delay that applies to an increase does not apply when you lower the limit.
