Yes — and for large withdrawals, it's often one of the most practical payment methods. Here's why.
E-wallets like PayPal and Skrill offer quicker withdrawals, but they come with monthly withdrawal caps. At most Irish-facing casinos I've reviewed, PayPal withdrawals are capped at around €10,000 per month. Win more than that, and the casino will ask you to switch to bank transfer anyway — which triggers a fresh round of verification checks and delays things further.
I'd recommend setting up bank transfer from the outset if you're playing with serious money. Avoid the extra verification step later when you least want it.
For standard bank transfers, your money travels directly between the casino's account and yours — no third-party e-wallet holding funds in between. For instant transfers via Trustly, there is a third-party intermediary, but Trustly is an FCA- and Central Bank of Ireland-regulated open banking provider, which means your login credentials are never shared with the casino.
One thing I'd always check: make sure the casino you're using holds a licence from the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), Gibraltar Regulatory Authority, or Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission. Unlicensed casinos offer no consumer protection. If something goes wrong, you have no recourse — and bank transfers, unlike card payments, offer very limited chargeback rights.
