Revolut Casino Ireland: What Actually Works in 2025

You've just won €800 at your favourite online casino. Brilliant. Now comes the tricky bit — getting that money into your actual bank account without Revolut throwing a tantrum.

If you're reading this, chances are you've already hit a snag. Maybe your withdrawal got declined. Maybe it's been "pending" for three days. Or maybe you're just trying to figure out if Revolut even works with casinos anymore, because your mate Conor swears it does, but your cousin in Cork says his account got flagged last month.

Here's the thing: Revolut does work with Irish online casinos. But it's complicated. And in 2025, it's gotten even more complicated.

I'll walk you through everything — how to deposit, how to withdraw, what limits you're dealing with, why Revolut sometimes blocks casino transactions, and what to do when it all goes sideways. No fluff, no "industry-leading solutions" nonsense. Just the facts, based on what's actually happening right now.

What Changed in 2025?

Let's start with the bad news.

In September 2025, Revolut quietly updated their internal rules for gambling transactions. The daily limit dropped from €2,500 to €2,000. Not a huge change, but if you're trying to cash out a decent win, it means you're now splitting withdrawals across multiple days.

They also tightened their fraud detection. Transactions over €800 now get flagged more often, especially if you've never used that casino before. Revolut's system sees "new merchant + gambling category + €800+" and thinks, hmm, suspicious. So it holds the payment for 24–72 hours while they "review" it.

Here's what changed:

The gambling block is a feature you can turn on in the app. Once it's on, Revolut will decline all gambling transactions. Sounds obvious, but I've seen cases where people forgot they enabled it months ago, then spent an hour on live chat with a casino wondering why their deposit kept failing.

How to Use Revolut at Irish Online Casinos

Alright, let's get practical.

Step 1: Make Sure Your Revolut Account Is Verified

This should be obvious, but you'd be surprised. If you haven't uploaded your ID and proof of address, Revolut won't let you deposit more than €100 at a casino. And if you try to withdraw anything, they'll ask for verification then, which delays everything by 2–5 days.

Go to your Revolut app → Profile → Verification. Upload a photo of your passport or driver's licence, plus a utility bill or bank statement showing your address. Takes about 10 minutes. Revolut usually approves it within a few hours.

Step 2: Check If the Casino Accepts Revolut

Not all Irish casinos accept Revolut directly. Some do, some don't, and some accept it but call it "Visa" or "Mastercard" because they're processing it through your Revolut card.

Here's how to tell:

• Go to the casino's deposit page.
• Look for "Revolut" in the payment options. If it's there, you're golden.
• If it's not there, look for "Visa" or "Mastercard". If you have a Revolut card (the physical one or the virtual one in your app), you can use that instead.

Step 3: Deposit Money

Let's say you're depositing €100.

1. Open the casino's cashier/banking section.
2. Select "Revolut" (or "Visa/Mastercard" if you're using your Revolut card).
3. Enter the amount: €100.
4. If it's a direct Revolut transfer, you'll be redirected to the Revolut app to confirm. If it's a card payment, enter your card details (number, expiry, CVV).
5. Confirm the payment.

The money should land in your casino account within seconds. If it doesn't, check your Revolut app to see if the payment went through. Sometimes the casino's system lags, but Revolut has already taken the money.

Fees: Revolut doesn't charge you for deposits. But some casinos charge a processing fee (usually 2–3%). Check the casino's T&Cs.

Step 4: Withdraw Your Winnings

This is where it gets messy.

Let's say you've won €1,200 and you want to withdraw it to your Revolut account.

1. Go to the casino's withdrawal section.
2. Select "Revolut" (or "Visa/Mastercard" if that's how you deposited).
3. Enter the amount: €1,200.
4. Submit the request.

Now you wait.

Casinos usually take 24–48 hours to process the withdrawal. Then it takes another 1–3 business days for the money to reach your Revolut account. So you're looking at 2–5 days total.

But here's where it can go wrong:

If the casino flags your account for verification, they'll ask for ID, proof of address, and proof of payment method before they process the withdrawal. This can add another 3–7 days.

If Revolut flags the transaction, they'll hold the money for 24–72 hours while they "review" it. You'll get a notification in the app saying "Payment under review". There's nothing you can do except wait.

If you're withdrawing more than €2,000, you'll need to split it across multiple days because of Revolut's new daily limit.

Why Does Revolut Block Casino Transactions?

Good question. There are a few reasons.

1. You've Hit the Daily Limit

As of September 2025, Revolut's daily limit for gambling transactions is €2,000. If you try to withdraw €2,500 in one go, it'll get declined.

Solution: Split the withdrawal. Request €2,000 today, €500 tomorrow.

2. The Transaction Looks Suspicious

Revolut's fraud detection system is... aggressive. If you've never used a particular casino before, and you're trying to withdraw €800+, Revolut might think it's fraud.

This happens more often if:

• You're withdrawing to a casino you've never deposited to.
• The casino is based outside Ireland (even if it's licensed in Malta or Curaçao).
• You've made multiple large transactions in a short period.

Solution: Contact Revolut support through the app. Explain that it's a legitimate casino withdrawal. They'll usually release the hold within 24 hours.

3. You've Enabled the Gambling Block

If you (or someone with access to your account) turned on the gambling block, Revolut will decline all gambling transactions. This includes deposits and withdrawals.

To check:

1. Open the Revolut app.
2. Go to Profile → Security → Gambling Block.
3. If it's on, turn it off.

4. Revolut Thinks the Casino Is Unlicensed

In some European countries, Revolut is legally required to block transactions to unlicensed gambling operators. Ireland isn't one of those countries (yet), but Revolut's system sometimes gets confused.

If you're using a casino that's licensed in Malta, Curaçao, or the UK, you should be fine. But if it's a dodgy offshore site with no licence, Revolut might block it.

Solution: Use licensed casinos. Seriously. If Revolut is blocking it, that's a red flag.

Real-Life Example: Michael from Dublin

Michael won €1,200 at HolyLuck Casino on a Wednesday afternoon playing Book of Dead. He'd been using the casino for about two months, mainly because a few lads on boards.ie said their Revolut withdrawals were faster than most other sites.

He requested a withdrawal at 2:30 PM on 24 September 2025. Selected Revolut as the payment method. Entered the amount. Clicked submit.

By Thursday morning (25 September), he checked the casino. Status: "Approved". Processing time: 18 hours. Expected arrival: 25–26 September.

Then, at 9:15 AM, his phone buzzed. Revolut notification. €1,200 received from HolyLuck Casino Ltd.

He checked his Revolut transaction history. There it was — green text, completed status, no hold, no review.

Total time from request to money in account: 19 hours.

What made the difference? HolyLuck Casino processes Revolut withdrawals quickly (under 24 hours for verified accounts), and because Michael had used the casino before, Revolut didn't flag it as suspicious. The transaction went through smoothly.

Lesson: If you're using Revolut for casino withdrawals, pick a casino that's known for fast processing and has a good track record with Revolut. HolyLuck, Hugo Casino, Magius Casino, and Robocat Casino all process Revolut withdrawals faster than most Irish casinos — usually within 24 hours.

All casinos listed are licensed (Curaçao/Malta) and accept Irish players. Withdrawal times are averages based on verified player reports. 18+. T&Cs apply.

Revolut vs Other Payment Methods

How does Revolut compare to other options?

Revolut is faster than bank transfers, but slower than Skrill or Bitcoin. It's free (usually), but it has a lower daily limit than PayPal or Skrill.

If you're withdrawing large amounts (€5,000+), you're better off using Skrill or a direct bank transfer. If you're withdrawing smaller amounts (€500–€2,000), Revolut is fine.

All of these are licensed (Malta or Curaçao), so you won't have issues with Revolut blocking them.
