5 Things You Must Know Before Trying to Withdraw Scratchcards Winnings

For reasons which will be obvious to you, online scratch cards sites make it easier for you to deposit money in than to withdraw money out.  Some rogues sites try to make it so hard that you end up giving up on the process and end up losing the money on the site.  In this article are some of the issues you may experience when trying to withdraw your scratchcard winnings.

Wagering Requirements

Depending on the situation, there can be certain requirements that you must meet before withdrawing any money from the site.  For example, if you claimed a bonus when making your first deposit, it will be necessary to wager the bonus amount a certain amount of times before you can withdraw anything (sometimes up to 100 times your bonus!) At other times, players who have won money on free scratchcards games may be required to make a deposit before withdrawing.

Method of Withdrawal

There is often a selection of methods of withdrawal available to players, allowing them to find the most suiting to them. Common withdrawal methods include bank transfer, cheque, PayPal, Ukash, Neteller and more.

Requesting ID

Depending on the amount you are trying to withdraw, you may have to provide ID to confirm you are the account holder. This is likely to be more common among smaller scratch cards sites, which lack the security system to validate players in other, more convenient ways.  You may receive a request for requesting a withdrawal of £200 for example.  Some people merely see this as an additional hurdle put in place just to slow down the withdrawal process, making you more likely to spend your winnings.

Withdrawal Limits

Few sites have limits on how much can be withdrawn within a space of time. For example, you may only be able to withdraw £10,000 in a month. There is a simple way around this, simple deposit the maximum amount in a month and withdraw the rest in the following month.

Waiting Time

Withdrawals can take a varying amount of time.  It may take up to a maximum of 10 days, although some sites advertise that you will receive your winnings within 3 – 5 days.  If you have not received anything after the specified time, it’s recommended that you contact customer services.  You might receive a notification beforehand saying the payment has been delayed and you may have to provide ID to complete the process.
