Funding source matters
Wallets can hold money from different sources, and some providers tag a deposit for gambling or non-gambling use. Skrill and Neteller describe country-specific restrictions and note that credit-card funding cannot be used for gambling on UK sites. The GB operator rule also requires controls for e-wallet money service businesses.
| Wallet status | What to check |
|---|---|
| Funds loaded by debit card or bank transfer | The wallet and merchant still decide whether the payment is accepted |
| Funds loaded by credit card | Not eligible for gambling at a GB remote operator |
| Funds tagged for another purpose | The provider may refuse a gambling merchant payment |
| Wallet account under restriction | Follow the provider's official review process |
Do not move funds between wallets or accounts to disguise their origin. If a payment was refused, check the provider's transaction details and ask its official support team which funding source triggered the refusal.
FAQ
Does the same rule apply to PayPal?
PayPal has its own seller-approval policy for gambling. Approval does not create an exception to the GB credit-card rule.
Can I use another person's wallet?
No. Use only accounts and payment instruments in your own name and follow the operator's terms.
