A debit card is different from a credit card

The GB credit-card rule does not turn a debit card into a universally accepted method. Check that the cashier supports the card, that it is in your own name, and that the issuer has not declined the transaction.

If you set a gambling block, leave it in place. For an unexplained failure, ask your bank whether it authorised the payment and ask the operator whether it received an attempt.

FAQ

Can a debit card be blocked for gambling?

Yes. Banks may offer controls that decline identified gambling payments.

Can I deposit with one card and withdraw to another?

Operator payout rules vary. Check the cashier and account terms; do not use another person's card.
