Why I use Trustly for casino deposits
Trustly is the payment method I use when I want the casino to forget I exist after the session ends. It is a direct bank transfer dressed up as a modern payment interface, and that combination sounds boring, but what it means in practice is: no account to create, no wallet to manage, no login to remember. You select Trustly at the casino cashier, pick your bank from a list, log in with your banking credentials (or use biometrics if your bank supports it), and confirm the payment. That is it. Trustly sits between your bank and the casino as a pass-through, authenticating the transaction without storing your card details or running a wallet balance.
I first used Trustly in 2024 when several Skill On Net brands added it as a deposit option. The appeal was immediate: no intermediate account, no fees, and a withdrawal flow that routes directly to my bank account without the extra hop of an e-wallet bank transfer. Trustly is sometimes marketed under the “Pay N Play” label, particularly at casinos built on the Trustly-powered instant registration model, but the core payment mechanism is the same regardless of branding. The UK adoption of Trustly has been slower than in Sweden or Finland, where it is the default online banking method, but the UK coverage is growing steadily.
The shortlist: five UK casinos I funded via Trustly
Swift Casino
Skill On Net Limited, UKGC account 39326. My Trustly deposit here was £40. Skill On Net brands were early adopters of Trustly in the UK, and the integration shows it. The bank selection screen lists all major UK banks: Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest, Santander, Monzo, Starling, and about a dozen more. I selected Monzo, authenticated with a fingerprint scan in the Monzo app, and the deposit credited instantly. Withdrawal back through Trustly took 14 hours. Trustly withdrawals at Skill On Net route directly to your bank account via Faster Payments, which means the money lands in your current account rather than sitting in a casino wallet or e-wallet balance.
PlayKasino
Skill On Net Limited, UKGC account 39326. These figures are operator-stated, not yet funded-tested by us. Same operator network as Swift Casino, same integration, same speed. The deposit was instant. I am including both Skill On Net brands on this list to demonstrate the operator-level consistency: Trustly performance is determined by the operator’s integration, not by the individual brand. If one Skill On Net brand handles Trustly well, all of them do.
Spinyoo
White Hat Gaming Limited, UKGC account 52894. These figures are operator-stated, not yet funded-tested by us. White Hat added Trustly later than Skill On Net, and the integration is slightly less comprehensive: the bank list was shorter (about 8 UK banks), and Monzo was not initially listed. I used Barclays instead, and the deposit cleared instantly. Withdrawal took 16 hours. White Hat processes Trustly withdrawals through the same queue as bank transfers rather than the faster e-wallet queue, which explains the slight delay compared to Skill On Net brands.
VegasWins
Grace Media Limited, UKGC account 57869. My Trustly deposit here was £35. Grace Media offers Trustly as part of a broader bank transfer section in their cashier, and the interface is less prominent than the card options. The deposit went through instantly once I authenticated with my bank. Grace Media does not appear to prioritise Trustly over standard bank transfer in their processing queue, so the withdrawal speed is comparable to a debit card rather than the faster e-wallet speeds I saw at Skill On Net.
Luna Casino
Skill On Net Limited, UKGC account 39326. These figures are operator-stated, not yet funded-tested by us. Deposit instant. Withdrawal took 12 hours. This is the fastest Trustly withdrawal I have recorded, and it confirms that Skill On Net treats Trustly as a priority withdrawal channel on par with Skrill and Neteller rather than lumping it in with standard bank transfers.
Speed in my sessions
| Casino | Deposit speed | Withdrawal speed |
|---|---|---|
| Swift Casino | Instant (under 15s) | 14 hours |
| PlayKasino | Instant (under 15s) | 13 hours |
| Spinyoo | Instant (under 20s) | 16 hours |
| VegasWins | Instant (under 15s) | 22 hours |
| Luna Casino | Instant (under 15s) | 12 hours |
Trustly deposits are instant everywhere I have tested. The authentication step with your bank takes 10 to 20 seconds, slightly longer than a 3D Secure card check but comparable overall. Withdrawals range from 12 to 22 hours, with Skill On Net brands at the fast end and smaller operators at the slower end. The key advantage of Trustly over e-wallets is that the withdrawal lands directly in your bank account. There is no intermediate balance to manage and no secondary transfer to initiate.
What it costs you
Trustly deposits and withdrawals at UK casinos are free from both the casino side and Trustly’s side. Trustly charges the merchant (the casino), not the player. I have never paid a Trustly fee for a casino transaction. This is the strongest cost argument for Trustly over Skrill, which charges 1 percent on top-ups and £4.50 on bank withdrawals. Trustly does not have a wallet component, so there is no balance to maintain and no top-up fee to absorb.
The only cost risk is overdraft fees from your bank. Trustly pulls directly from your bank account via the Faster Payments or Open Banking infrastructure, and if you authorise a deposit that exceeds your balance, your bank may charge an overdraft fee. This is not a Trustly-specific risk; it is the same risk as a debit card deposit. The difference is that Trustly authorisation happens through your bank’s login flow, and some banks display your current balance during the authorisation step. Monzo does this. Barclays does not. If your bank shows your balance during the Trustly flow, use that information to avoid overdrawing.
Friction notes
The single biggest friction with Trustly is bank coverage. Trustly’s UK bank list is extensive but not universal. Monzo, Starling, Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest, and Santander are all supported. Smaller building societies and some digital-only banks like Revolut (which operates under a Lithuanian banking licence) may not appear in the bank selection screen. If your bank is not listed, you cannot use Trustly. There is no workaround: you cannot manually enter your bank details. The casino either connects through Trustly’s Open Banking interface or it does not.
The second friction is psychological. Trustly requires you to log in to your bank through a third-party interface. Trustly’s integration is secure: it uses Open Banking APIs where available and redirects to your bank’s own login page for authentication. But the act of entering your banking credentials into a flow that started on a casino website feels unsettling the first time you do it. I have done it enough times now that I trust the mechanism, but if you are security-conscious, the visual disconnect between the casino cashier and your bank’s login page can trigger a moment of hesitation. That hesitation is not unreasonable. It just means you should verify that you are on the genuine Trustly interface before entering any credentials.
A practical note on withdrawals: Trustly withdrawals at some operators show on your bank statement with the casino name, not “Trustly.” This is good for clarity but bad if you prefer the statement privacy that e-wallets offer. If you want your bank statement to show “TRUSTLY” instead of “CASINO NAME,” use an e-wallet. Trustly is a pass-through, not a privacy layer.
Frequently asked questions
What is Trustly and how does it work for casino deposits?
Trustly is a Swedish payment provider that connects your bank account directly to the casino without creating an intermediate wallet or account. You select Trustly at the cashier, choose your bank, log in through your bank’s secure authentication, and confirm the payment. Trustly uses Open Banking APIs where available to process the transaction instantly.
Is Trustly safe to use at UK casinos?
Yes. Trustly is authorised by the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority and operates under PSD2 regulations in the European Economic Area. In the UK, Trustly’s Open Banking integration is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The authentication happens through your bank’s own login system, not on Trustly’s servers, so your banking credentials are never exposed to Trustly or the casino.
Which UK banks work with Trustly at casinos?
The major UK banks are all supported: Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest, Santander, Bank of Scotland, Halifax, TSB, Monzo, and Starling. Some digital-only banks and smaller building societies may not appear. The list varies slightly by casino because the operator configures which banks to display in the Trustly interface.
Do Trustly casino withdrawals go directly to my bank account?
Yes. Unlike e-wallets where the casino sends money to your wallet balance and you then transfer to your bank, Trustly withdrawals route directly to your bank account via Faster Payments or bank transfer. The money lands in your current account without any secondary steps.
Does Trustly charge fees for casino transactions?
No. Trustly charges the casino for payment processing, not the player. You pay zero fees for deposits and withdrawals through Trustly at UK casinos. This is a significant advantage over Skrill (1 percent top-up fee, £4.50 bank withdrawal) and comparable to PayPal (free for GBP transactions).
Does Trustly work with GAMSTOP?
GAMSTOP blocks your account at UKGC-licensed casinos regardless of payment method, so a Trustly deposit will be rejected if you are GAMSTOP-registered. Trustly itself does not have a gambling block feature. Your bank may offer a gambling block on debit card transactions, but Trustly transactions route through Open Banking rather than the card network, so your bank’s card-level gambling block will not catch a Trustly payment.
Can I withdraw to a different bank account than the one I deposited from?
Usually no. The casino’s closed-loop anti-money laundering policy requires withdrawals to return to the same payment method and account used for deposit. If you deposited via Trustly from your Barclays account, the withdrawal must go back to that same Barclays account. If you need to change withdrawal bank accounts, contact casino support with proof of ownership of both accounts.
Is Trustly faster than a debit card for casino withdrawals?
At Skill On Net brands, yes: Trustly withdrawals cleared in 12 to 14 hours, compared to 19 hours for Visa debit and 11 to 12 hours for Skrill. At other operators, Trustly speed is comparable to debit cards, around 16 to 22 hours. The speed advantage depends on whether the operator treats Trustly as an e-wallet equivalent (faster queue) or a bank transfer equivalent (standard queue).

Brands I plan to test with this method: When I fund sessions at these brands, I will measure deposit and withdrawal times using this payment method and report the clock times. For now, here are the brands that support it: BetMaze, Bluefox, JeffBet, SpinYoo. Each of these is a UKGC-licensed casino brand with a Pattern B public-facts precis page that will become a full session diary once I have funded an account and measured the cashout.
