How to deposit at a casino with Revolut
Depositing with Revolut is quick and, in most cases, instant. There are three routes – the Revolut card, Apple Pay or Google Pay funded by Revolut, and open banking – and which you use depends on the casino. Here is how each works and what to check first.

Before you start
Two things make deposits go smoothly:
- Gambling payments must be switched on. Revolut lets you block gambling transactions in the app. If a deposit is declined, check this setting first – it is the most common cause.
- Use an account in your own name. Casinos pay winnings back only to the method and name you deposited with, so a card in someone else's name will cause problems later.
Route 1: pay with your Revolut card
This works at almost any casino that accepts cards.
- Open the casino cashier and choose card (Visa or Mastercard).
- Enter your Revolut card number, expiry and CVV. A virtual card from the app works too.
- Enter the amount – the minimum is usually €10 – and confirm.
- Approve the payment in the Revolut app if prompted (3-D Secure).
- The money is credited instantly.
Tip: Create a virtual or disposable card in the Revolut app for casino deposits. It keeps your main card number private, and a disposable card regenerates its number after each use.
Route 2: Apple Pay or Google Pay with a Revolut card
If the casino offers Apple Pay or Google Pay, you can add your Revolut card to the wallet and pay with it:
- Add your Revolut card to Apple Pay or Google Pay (once).
- In the cashier, choose Apple Pay or Google Pay.
- Confirm with Face ID, Touch ID or your PIN.
This is the fastest route on a phone and does not expose your card number to the casino.
Route 3: open banking (pay by bank)
Some casinos connect to Revolut as a bank. You choose "pay by bank" or "open banking", pick Revolut, and approve the transfer in the app. Your card details are never entered on the casino site, which makes this the most private route where it is available.
Deposit limits and crediting
| Typical | |
|---|---|
| Minimum deposit | €10 (varies by casino and method) |
| Maximum deposit | Set by the casino and by your Revolut plan limits |
| Speed | Instant for card, Apple/Google Pay and open banking |
| Fee from the casino | Usually none |
Your own limits also apply: Revolut plans have monthly allowances for things like fee-free currency exchange, and spending limits you can set yourself in the app.
If a deposit is declined
- Gambling blocked in the app – turn it on in the Revolut app (see is Revolut safe for where).
- Card frozen or limit reached – check the card status and your limits.
- Casino does not accept your country – the method will not appear at all.
- Wrong details – re-enter the card number, expiry and CVV carefully.
After depositing
Deposits with Revolut are instant, so you can play straight away. If you plan to withdraw back to Revolut, read Revolut withdrawals first – not every casino that takes Revolut deposits can pay back to it. And verify your account early, because the first withdrawal is only paid once your identity is confirmed.

Frequently asked questions
Are Revolut casino deposits instant?
Yes. Card, Apple/Google Pay and open-banking deposits are credited instantly in almost all cases.
What is the minimum deposit with Revolut?
Usually €10, though it varies by casino and method. The exact figure is shown in the cashier.
Why was my Revolut deposit declined?
Most often because gambling payments are switched off in the Revolut app, or the card is frozen or over a limit. Check those first.
Should I use a virtual Revolut card for casinos?
It is a good idea. A virtual or disposable card keeps your main card number private, and disposable cards change their number after each payment.
Does Revolut charge a fee to deposit at a casino?
There is no specific gambling fee. Watch only for currency conversion beyond your plan's limit – see Revolut fees and limits.
