A bank wire transfer sends money from your bank account straight to the casino’s bank account using details like the beneficiary name, IBAN (or account number), and SWIFT/BIC. It’s not instant: domestic wires often land the same or next business day, while international wires commonly take 2–5 business days, and weekends or bank holidays don’t count. Your bank may charge a transfer fee, and the receiving bank can take an incoming fee as well, so the amount credited can be slightly lower than what you sent if fees aren’t covered.
Before you pay, match the transfer reference exactly as shown in the cashier so the casino can allocate the funds to your player account. Use your own bank account name; casinos reject third‑party wires and may return the payment. Wires also don’t support chargebacks like card payments, so once the bank releases the transfer it’s hard to reverse. For withdrawals, casinos typically pay back to a bank account in your name, and they may ask for proof of account ownership (for example, a bank statement with your name and IBAN visible).
Most wires post in 1–3 business days after your bank sends the funds. Transfers sent late on Fridays or during bank holidays can land on the next banking day and extend the timeline.
Use the exact beneficiary name and bank details shown in the cashier, and enter the payment reference the casino provides (often your player ID or a unique code). If the reference is missing or mistyped, the deposit can sit unassigned until support confirms ownership.
Casinos typically don’t add a fee for receiving a wire, but your bank can charge an outgoing wire fee, and intermediary banks can deduct handling fees in transit. If deductions happen, the amount credited can be lower than the amount you sent.
Minimums commonly start around $50–$200 (or the currency equivalent), while maximums depend on the casino’s cashier limits and your bank’s wire limits. Larger deposits can trigger extra checks before the balance updates.
The casino can request the wire receipt or SWIFT/MT103 confirmation to trace the transfer and confirm the sender name matches your account. This step speeds up allocation when bank descriptions are truncated or the transfer arrives without a usable reference.
Payment provider fees come from the banks moving the money, not from the casino cashier. A domestic wire is commonly priced as a flat fee (often $10–$30), while an international wire is higher (often $25–$60) and can be charged by the sending bank, the receiving bank, or both. Some banks also add a separate “international transfer” or “wire handling” line item on top of the base fee.
