Before you deposit
A couple of quick checks make your first SpinBob deposit smooth:
- Verify early. UK rules require age and identity checks before play. Most players pass automatically at registration; if documents are requested, see our KYC verification guide.
- Think about withdrawals. Under the closed-loop rule, you usually withdraw to the method you deposited with. Pick a method you are happy for your SpinBob winnings to be paid to.
- Set a limit. A deposit limit is offered at sign-up, and you can change it any time.
- Decide on a bonus. Bonuses are claimed on the deposit screen, not afterwards.
All UK deposits are in pounds sterling, carry no SpinBob fees and start from £10 (£20 by bank transfer). Our payments hub has the full comparison table.
The basic deposit steps
- Log in to SpinBob and tap Deposit to open the cashier.
- Choose your payment method from the list.
- Enter the amount — at least £10, or £20 for bank transfer.
- Select a bonus if you want one, or choose “no bonus”.
- Confirm and complete any authorisation with your bank or wallet.
- Check your balance — instant methods show straight away.
Step by step for each method
Visa or Mastercard debit card
- Choose Debit card and enter your card number, expiry date and CVV.
- Enter the amount and confirm.
- Approve the payment in your banking app or with the one-time code your bank sends (3D Secure).
- Funds appear in your SpinBob balance instantly. You can save the card for faster future deposits.
Only debit cards are accepted. Credit cards are not accepted for gambling in the UK.
PayPal
- Choose PayPal and enter the amount.
- Log in to PayPal in the pop-up window and confirm the payment.
- You return to SpinBob with the balance updated instantly.
PayPal is one of the fastest withdrawal routes too, paying within 12 hours of approval.
Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Choose Apple Pay or Google Pay on a compatible phone or browser.
- Enter the amount.
- Confirm with Face ID, Touch ID, your fingerprint or device PIN.
Deposits are instant. Withdrawals go to the debit card linked to your wallet, taking 1–3 working days after approval.
Skrill and Neteller
- Choose Skrill or Neteller and enter the amount.
- Log in to your e-wallet when prompted and approve the payment.
- Funds appear instantly.
Revolut
- Choose Revolut and enter the amount.
- Approve the payment in the Revolut app.
- Your SpinBob balance updates instantly.
Make sure your Revolut account is in GBP to avoid conversion by Revolut.
Rapid Transfer (open banking)
- Choose Rapid Transfer and enter the amount.
- Select your UK bank from the list.
- You are redirected to your banking app to log in and approve.
- Funds arrive instantly, and withdrawals come back the same day after approval.
Open banking never shares your login details with SpinBob — you approve inside your own bank’s app.
Paysafecard
- Buy a Paysafecard voucher from a UK shop or online, or use a myPaysafe account.
- Choose Paysafecard and enter the amount.
- Enter the 16-digit PIN and confirm.
Paysafecard cannot be used for withdrawals, so you will need a bank transfer or another verified method in your name to cash out.
Bank transfer
- Choose Bank transfer and enter at least £20.
- Copy the payment details and the unique reference shown.
- Make the transfer from your UK bank account, including the reference exactly.
- Allow 1–2 working days for funds to arrive.
The reference is essential — without it the payment cannot be matched to your account.
Deposit limits as a safer-gambling tool
A deposit limit is the simplest way to keep play within a budget you are comfortable with. In Account → Safer Gambling you can set:
| Limit type | How it works |
|---|---|
| Daily deposit limit | Caps how much you can deposit in 24 hours |
| Weekly deposit limit | Caps deposits across a rolling week |
| Monthly deposit limit | Caps deposits across a calendar month |
| Loss limit | Caps net losses over a chosen period |
Lowering a limit takes effect immediately. Raising one only happens after a 24-hour cooling-off period, giving you time to reconsider. You can also set reality checks, time-outs (24 hours to 6 weeks) and self-exclusion (6 months to 5 years). Our responsible gambling page explains each tool.
ℹ️ Budget before you deposit
Decide what you can afford to lose before you deposit, and treat it as the cost of entertainment. Never deposit money meant for bills. If gambling stops feeling like fun, GamCare’s free helpline is open 24/7 on 0808 8020 133.
