Stakemate Withdrawals, Timings and Payment Rules

Play with bonus

Request a withdrawal in the app when you want to move available funds out of your account. The standard minimum withdrawal is £5, and available funds may be withdrawn subject to the applicable terms and any required checks.

Card withdrawals normally take 4–6 working days. Withdrawals to supported online payment services normally complete on the same day, while closed-loop payment rules can affect which route is used to return the funds.

Requesting a Withdrawal in the App

The withdrawal request starts in the app. Before submitting it, check the amount you want to withdraw and make sure it meets the standard £5 minimum unless the small-balance condition described below applies.

Available funds remain subject to the applicable terms and any required checks. The payment route can also be affected by closed-loop rules, so the destination is not always a matter of choosing any available method.

• Request the withdrawal in the app.
• Check that the amount meets the standard £5 minimum.
• Review the payment route used for the withdrawal.
• Complete any checks or evidence requests that apply before release.

Minimum Withdrawals and Small Balances

The standard minimum withdrawal is £5. That is the ordinary minimum for a withdrawal request and should not be confused with the amount you originally deposited or with a payment-method limit.

If your full remaining balance is below the standard minimum, the small-balance case can be handled through support rather than by treating the funds as unavailable.

If the full remaining balance is £5 or more, use the normal withdrawal route.

If the full remaining balance is below £5, use the support route for the small-balance withdrawal.

If your full remaining balance is below the standard minimum, contact support so the small-balance withdrawal can be handled through the appropriate route.

Card and Online-Service Withdrawal Timings

Normal withdrawal timing depends on the route used. A card withdrawal has a longer normal clearing period than a withdrawal to a supported online payment service.

These are normal timings rather than unconditional guarantees. Required account, payment or verification checks can still affect when funds are released.

How the Closed-Loop Rule Works

Closed-loop payment rules can require funds to return through a payment method previously used on the account. This is why a withdrawal route may depend on earlier deposits rather than only on the method you would prefer to use now.

For example, if £150 was deposited through a particular payment method and £100 has already been returned through that route, the remaining £50 can need to be returned to that prior payment method first.

Deposit through the prior method: £150.

Amount already returned through that method: £100.

Remaining amount to return through that method first: £50.

The closed-loop rule does not mean the same payment method must always be used indefinitely. If the original method cannot receive the withdrawal, another supported route may be required.

When Another Payment Method Is Needed

If the original payment method cannot receive the withdrawal, an alternative supported payment method or bank account may be required. The available alternative depends on the circumstances of the payment route rather than on an unrestricted choice of destination.

Supporting evidence can also be requested when an alternative route is used. This can include information needed to confirm the payment method, account details or the relationship between the withdrawal route and the account holder.

• Check whether the original payment method can receive the withdrawal.
• Use an alternative supported method or bank account if required.
• Provide supporting payment evidence when requested.
• Make sure the alternative route belongs to or can be verified for the account holder.

Checks Before Funds Are Released

Available funds may be withdrawn subject to the applicable terms and any checks required for the account or payment route. A request for further information does not mean that every withdrawal requires the same documents.

Checks can include payment ownership and, where required, source-of-funds or source-of-wealth information. Supporting evidence may also be requested when an alternative method or bank account is needed.

• Confirm payment ownership if requested.
• Provide supporting payment evidence where required.
• Provide source-of-funds information if the check calls for it.
• Provide source-of-wealth information where that wider check applies.

If we ask for documents or payment evidence before release, review the verification requirements for the information that may be needed.

Common Account Withdrawal Situations

Different withdrawal situations call for different checks. Start with the amount, payment route, normal timing and any evidence request before assuming that the withdrawal has failed.

Your Full Balance Is Below £5

If the whole remaining balance is below the standard £5 minimum, use the small-balance support route described above. The standard minimum still applies to ordinary withdrawal requests.

Your Card Withdrawal Is Still Clearing

Card withdrawals normally take 4–6 working days. Compare the elapsed working days with that normal clearing period and take any required account or payment checks into account before treating the timing as exceptional.

You Expected Same-Day Payment

Withdrawals to supported online payment services normally complete on the same day. This is a normal timing rather than a guarantee that every withdrawal will be completed within that period.

Funds Must Return to a Prior Method

The closed-loop rule can require funds to return through a payment method used earlier on the account. Use the previous deposit and withdrawal amounts to understand what still needs to be returned through that route.

Another Method or Bank Is Requested

If the original payment method cannot receive the withdrawal, another supported payment method or bank account may be required. Provide any supporting evidence requested for that alternative route.
