Understanding whether you can use your Revolut account to deposit and withdraw at online casinos in Ireland requires navigating certain restrictions and clarifying some uncertainties. Revolut provides information about its gambling transaction block, but the specifics of accepting payouts to Revolut in the Irish gambling space are less clear.
Deposits: What Revolut Will and Will Not Let Through
Revolut's Ireland help page explains the app's gambling block feature, a setting that can prevent transactions recognised as gambling payments, which includes online casino deposits.
When enabling this gambling block in profile settings, Revolut users can turn it on or off as needed. By default, the gambling block is disabled for new Revolut Ireland accounts, enabling casino card payments until the user manually blocks them in the app.
Irish Licensing Context
The Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland (GRAI), which was established by Ireland's Gambling Regulation Act 2024, has two relevant licensing categories for remote gambling services.
The Remote Betting Licence authorises betting activities by remote means, while online gaming (casino) licensing is a separate, later phase, so offshore online casinos do not hold an Irish licence.
The Challenge for Revolut Casino Players
The takeaway for Irish Revolut users is that this fintech app can be used to deposit to online casinos in Ireland, at least when that app's gambling transaction block is off. Withdrawals are a different matter and depend on each casino's cashier.
A player can turn Revolut's gambling barrier on or off, making deposits more manageable, but the payout part of this casino journey seems less clear from a player's Revolut perspective. Which casinos allow withdrawals to a Revolut card or IBAN? Does it always require a bank account payout first, or even a local one? Are there fees or further customer verification steps? And importantly, how do payout speeds and withdrawal limits compare to other player options?
