Last updated: August 26, 2026
Howzit runs every UK account in pounds sterling, so there's no currency conversion guesswork between your bank and your balance. Here's how our players move money in and out, day to day.
Accepted payment methods
We keep the banking page simple: a short list of methods that actually work for UK players, rather than a long menu of options nobody uses. Cards suit players who want a familiar, fast route in. Crypto suits players who want speed and privacy on withdrawals. Bank transfer sits in the middle for larger amounts.
- Visa - instant deposits, widely used by UK debit card holders
- Mastercard - same-day processing for deposits, standard withdrawal timing applies
- Bitcoin (BTC) - deposits and withdrawals with no card statement reference
- Ethereum (ETH) - similar speed to Bitcoin, useful if you already hold ETH
- Tether (USDT) - a stablecoin option for players who want to avoid crypto price swings between deposit and play
- Litecoin (LTC) - lower network fees than BTC for smaller top-ups
- Bank Transfer - suited to bigger deposits or withdrawals where a card limit gets in the way
Whichever method you pick, your account balance and every transaction record on Howzit shows in GBP. If you deposit in crypto, the conversion is applied at the point the funds land, so your balance reads in pounds from that moment on.
Typical deposit amounts and limits
Most UK players top up in the £10 to £50 range for a session, with card deposits usually landing instantly and crypto deposits confirming within a few network blocks, typically minutes rather than hours. Bank transfer deposits can take longer to clear, often the same working day, which is why we suggest it for planned top-ups rather than a quick session before kick-off on a Saturday afternoon.
Minimum deposit amounts and any daily or monthly limits are shown in your account cashier before you confirm a transaction, so you can check them against your own budget before committing.
Withdrawal timing
Card withdrawals usually take longer to reach your bank than crypto withdrawals, which is standard across UK online payments generally, not specific to Howzit. Crypto withdrawals tend to move fastest once verification is complete, often within the hour for BTC, ETH, USDT or LTC. Bank transfer withdrawals follow normal UK banking timeframes, which can mean a couple of working days depending on your bank.
Before your first withdrawal, we ask for a quick identity check. This is standard practice for online payments and helps keep accounts secure, it also protects you if anyone else ever tried to access your account.
Support hours for payment queries
Our support team covers UK time zones with live chat available daily, plus email for anything that needs more detail, like a delayed bank transfer or a crypto transaction hash you want checked. If a payment looks stuck, have your transaction reference or wallet address ready, it speeds up the response considerably.
A note on responsible spending
However you choose to fund your account, only deposit what you can afford to lose, and treat any welcome offer as a bonus on top of play you'd do anyway, not a reason to deposit more than planned. Full bonus terms sit on our Bonus page, and every offer carries T&Cs, 18+ only.
Howzit operates outside the GamStop self-exclusion scheme. If you want independent support around your gambling, GamCare (0808 8020 133, https://www.gamcare.org.uk/) and BeGambleAware (https://www.begambleaware.org/) are both free and confidential.

Verifying your account
Before your first withdrawal we ask for a copy of your ID and a recent proof of address. This is standard identity verification and it only needs sorting once. Doing it early, right after registration, means your first cash-out is not held up waiting on documents.
If a payment is declined
Card and e-wallet declines are usually down to the issuing bank rather than Howzit. Check that the card is enabled for online gambling transactions, that billing details match your registered name and address, and that you are within your bank's own spending limits. If the issue persists, try a different method or contact support with the time and amount so we can trace it.
