Withdrawal fees, and when the exit costs more than the entry

When the exit costs more than the entry

At 31 of the brands in our records, the minimum withdrawal is larger than the minimum deposit. Those brands are in the table above with both figures side by side, which is the only way the asymmetry is visible at all — quoted separately, each number looks reasonable.

The consequence is concrete. Deposit at the floor, lose some of it, and the remaining balance can be below the amount the casino will send out. It is not a trick; processing a very small payout costs more than it is worth. But it is a reason to check the exit before the entry, and it is why the finder filters on both at once.

Who charges, and for what

90 of the 139 brands here publish no fee at all — the majority position by a wide margin. 49 publish a charge, and 30 of those name withdrawals explicitly in the fee text. What almost never appears is a general fee on all withdrawals; the charges are tied to one payment route.

That route is overwhelmingly phone or mobile billing. The published charges include a flat £2.50 per transaction applied in both directions and percentage charges reaching 15% on the deposit side, sometimes with a further charge of up to £3 coming out. The pay-by-phone page sets those out in full.

Why we quote the clause rather than summarise it

Because the specific wording is the part that tells you whether your method is affected. "£2.50 is the fee for all withdrawals" and "1% transaction fee up to £3 applies to all withdrawals" are different obligations, and both collapse into "some fees may apply" the moment anyone paraphrases them. Every brand page therefore reproduces the fee text as published.

Limits, not just minimums

Above the minimum sit ceilings: weekly or monthly withdrawal limits, and separate arrangements for large jackpot wins that are frequently paid in instalments. Those live in the terms rather than on the payments page and are the figures most likely to surprise someone with an unusually large win — the search demand for them is almost nil, which is precisely why they go unread.

What we could not verify

Whether each fee text is current — schedules change without notice and ours were read 31st July 2026. Whether a stated minimum withdrawal applies to every payment route or only the default one. And what ceilings apply at the brands publishing none. Those gaps are recorded rather than estimated, on this page and in the table on each brand's page.
