Payments

One way in and the same way out: a Visa debit card registered in your name. Everything you pay in or take out is listed in My Account under Transaction History.

Available methods

Visa debit, and only Visa debit

We list a payment method here only when it is connected and working. At the moment that is Visa debit.

  • The card must be registered to the same name and address as your MessageBet account.
  • Credit cards can't be used for gambling in Great Britain, and cards that are credit cards in disguise are declined.
  • You can't pay in with someone else's card, even with their permission.

Payment verification

Why we may ask about a card

We have to be sure every card on an account belongs to the account holder. Usually the bank confirms that for us. When it can't, we ask for a photo of the front of the card with the middle eight digits covered, so we can see your name and the first six and last four numbers.

Larger or more frequent deposits can also lead to questions about where the money comes from. These source of funds checks are a legal requirement, not a judgement on you. The Account & Verification page explains what we might ask for.

Transaction History

My Account lists every deposit, withdrawal and bet settlement with its date, amount, reference and status. If something looks wrong, contact support with the reference from that line.
