Cashing Out Your Winnings

One of the best parts of playing at online scratch card sites is cashing out or withdrawing your winnings. This can usually be done when a player has won a certain amount (usually at most scratch card sites £10 or more) and basically means that a player can withdraw winnings they have won on a scratch card site back to their bank or registered payment method.

Withdrawing is very simple but like all things, there are just a few policies you must bear in mind before you begin to withdraw an amount.

Withdraw Method

Firstly, most scratch card sites will only accept a withdrawal request via the site's cashier tool. This means that if you want to withdraw an amount, a site will not accept a phone call or an email requesting it, you must request it via the cashier, and this is very easy to do. Simply tap in the amount you wish to withdraw and hit the 'submit' button. Your withdrawal is then pending to go back into your bank account or be printed into a cheque, which will be sent to you.

Minimum Deposit & Wagering Requirements

Most scratch card sites also request that you have made a minimum of one deposit before withdrawing your winnings and you must remember that if you got any bonuses from the site you also need to follow the wagering requirements before you request a withdrawal.(Bonuses at scratch cards sites usually need to be wagered 20 times before withdrawing.Ex: If on your first deposit of £10 you will get £10 free, you will need to bet £200 before you can withdraw your winnings.)£

How Much can you Withdraw?

Some scratch card sites also put a restriction on how much you can withdraw, for example, the sum of £50,000. If you are in the case where you want to withdraw more than £50,000, you're able to withdraw £50,000 and then the rest the following month. This is because a lot of sites set a monthly restriction amount for security reasons.

ID Request

Sometimes, you may find that the scratch card site requests some ID from you, and this is usually when you have withdrawn over a certain amount during your time at the site. The ID is just to confirm you are who you say you are and so the site can confirm that they are sending the money to the right person and the correct winner/player.

Withdraw Delay or Decline

Although unusual, most scratch card sites do reserve the right to delay or stop a withdrawal at any time. This rarely happens, but you will always be notified when something is awry or delayed with your withdrawal.

Waiting Period

Withdrawals of any kind usually take up to 7 working days, with some sites promising as little as 2 to 5 working days. You should always leave it the allotted time before contacting the site to chase up your cash out.
