EUR payment trail
Check the money route before you deposit

Methods Irish users commonly search
| Method | What to verify | Common evidence gap |
|---|---|---|
| Visa or Mastercard debit | Cardholder name, merchant descriptor, refund destination and bank controls | A card deposit does not guarantee card withdrawal |
| Revolut | Card or transfer rail, merchant category controls, EUR account and receipt | “Revolut accepted” may describe deposits only |
| Apple Pay | Underlying debit card, tokenised receipt and separate withdrawal method | The wallet can mask which rail must receive funds back |
| PayPal, Skrill or Neteller | Exact account ownership, fees, limits and withdrawal eligibility | Wallet availability can differ by account or promotion |
| SEPA bank transfer | Beneficiary identity, IBAN, reference and expected business days | Bank transfer reversals differ from card chargeback |
| paysafecard | Voucher ownership, cash-out route and verification rule | A deposit-only voucher still needs a withdrawal destination |
Credit-card rule: GRAI’s player-safety guidance says credit cards, credit-card-funded electronic payments and credit facilities are prohibited for gambling under the new framework. Check commencement and operator implementation against the current primary guidance.
When a card payment is disputed
The CCPC chargeback guide says to contact the business first, preserve the details and ask the bank or card provider promptly. Chargeback is rule-based, time-limited and not a general way to reverse gambling losses.
