Smarkets Withdrawal Methods – Debit Card
Withdrawing with Visa, Mastercard, or Maestro debit card is very simple. It is the way that Smarkets recommend you withdraw by. To do so is quick, easy and free, your money being back in your account often the next day although due to an abundance of caution they say it could take six in a worst case scenario.
To begin a withdrawal back onto a debit card you must have first once upon a time have deposited with that same card. It is then a matter of going to your “Account” section and choosing to “Withdraw”. You now are shown the withdrawal methods available to you and how much can be withdrawn that way. Select your card, enter the amount, and push “Withdraw”. The exact withdrawal time will depend on what day you withdraw and specifically if there is a bank holiday, but the money will not take long to arrive regardless.
Smarkets Withdrawal Method – Neteller
To withdraw by Neteller it is much the same process as before, you must be logged in and go to your “Account” section and from there choose to “Withdraw”. In order to be able to withdraw by Neteller you must have at least once before have deposited with Neteller. On the withdrawal screen you confirm your Neteller Email address (which is the one you deposited with) and then enter the amount of money you want to have returned to you.
Smarkets Withdrawal Method – Skrill
Being the sister company of Neteller the two withdrawal methods are virtually identical. You must be logged into your Smarkets account and then proceed to the “Account” section and then navigate to “Withdraw”. On this screen the Skrill Email address which you previously deposited with is displayed and you are shown how much you can withdraw at the moment to this method. Simply put the amount you want in the box and push “Withdraw”. Please note that unless you have deposited with Skrill, you shall be unable to withdraw with Skrill.
Smarkets Withdrawal Method – PayPal
Another so called “E-Wallet” which Smarkets support to make deposits and withdrawals is PayPal. This method is just as simple as the others, again it is important to note that you can only withdraw by PayPal if you have previously deposited with PayPal and that the money must come from and go to the same account. To withdraw you need to go to the “Account” section and chose to “Withdraw”. From there your PayPal account will be an option and you select this. Enter the amount of money you wish to withdraw (up to the amount available) and click “Withdraw”. Your money will be back in your PayPal account shortly.
Smarkets Withdrawal Method - Alternate methods
There are several other withdrawal methods which are available at Smarkets which are not available at everywhere else. The first one is “Open banking” which is a financial services term referring to the use of open APIs. This enables third-party developers to build applications and services around the various parties allowing transfers to take place. Another alternate method which you do not see too often is “Trustly”. A relatively new payment method Trustly is an open banking payment method that allows customers to shop and pay from their online bank account, without the use of a card or app.
All payment methods are facilitated the same way. In order to transfer money you must always be logged in to your Smarkets account. You then go to your “Account”, select “Withdrawal”, choose the method you want to withdraw to and enter the desired amount. Click the big green “Withdraw” button and then you are done.
How Long Does a Smarkets Withdrawal Take?
As a rule Smarkets are one of the quickest paying bookmakers out there processing withdrawal requests in hours if not in minutes. They err on the side of caution with their publicised information though saying how long a withdrawal “could” take, in our experience it is always at the lower side of the range. The exact length of time a withdrawal takes will not just depend on Smarkets processing it but will also depend on what payment method you have decided to use. The quickest methods are probably the E-Wallets Neteller and Skrill, but other methods such as Visa debit card withdrawals are not far behind in practice.
