Choose by transaction, not by logo
The deposit and withdrawal screens can show different methods. Pay by Bank connects an eligible Irish bank account through the Betfair cashier; card and Apple Pay deposits sit in the Popular options. A card that can deposit does not automatically qualify for Fast Funds, and Apple Pay withdrawals require a card already used for an Apple Pay deposit on the same account.

Compare the three published routes
Betfair Ireland payment route comparison
| Route | Deposit | Withdrawal | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pay by Bank | Instant for eligible Irish banks | Revolut instant; other Irish banks typically 2–6 hours | EUR, eligible bank, first-deposit wait and bank-set limits |

| Apple Pay | Listed in Popular payment options | Only to a card previously used for an Apple Pay deposit | Available wallet card and current offer requirements |
Betfair’s public help lists PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Rapid Transfer, MuchBetter and bank transfer as possible Other Methods. The country-specific Other Methods tab determines which of those routes a customer can actually see. This guide does not confirm them for every Irish account: if a method appears in your signed-in cashier, check its displayed minimum, processing time and fees.
Use the offer page for bonus eligibility
Betfair’s deposit instructions name debit card or Apple Pay when a promotion requires a qualifying deposit. A payment route and a promotion are separate decisions: open the current offer page to check the qualifying amount and actions, then fund the account using one of the methods its terms accept.

Betfair payment questions
Which payment methods are confirmed for Betfair Ireland?
The public Betfair help documents Pay by Bank, debit card and Apple Pay for the Ireland routes covered here. Other Methods are country-specific and should be checked in the signed-in cashier.
Does every method support withdrawals?
No. Betfair’s withdrawal screen shows the methods available for the account. Apple Pay withdrawals require a card previously used for an Apple Pay deposit, and Fast Funds depends on an eligible Visa issuer.
Where can I see the minimum deposit?
Betfair says the cashier shows the minimum for the method selected, along with the processing information and any applicable provider fees.
Does Betfair charge for Pay by Bank?
Betfair’s Pay by Bank help says its fee does not apply. Limits depend on the bank and are shown in the account.
Why is PayPal not listed as a confirmed Ireland method here?
Betfair lists PayPal among possible Other Methods but says that tab only contains methods available in the customer’s country. Public material reviewed here did not confirm the Ireland account-level availability, so the cashier is the check.
