Banking
Here’s everything you’ll need to know about banking with Fitzwilliam Sports.
How do make a deposit?
Deposits can be made by calling/ texting the office. Payment methods accepted Deposit card, Bank Transfer, Pay Pal, & Revolut. Currency Euro.
Why is my bank card being declined?
Please first check that you have entered all the requested information correctly. If you have done this, and your transaction is still being declined, please contact your bank, as sometimes banks can block deposits to bookmakers as part of their fraud detection responsibilities.
Will winnings be paid into my banking account automatically?
Any withdrawals need to be requested. We endeavour to have cleared funds in customers’ accounts by noon the next day so there is no waiting 3-5 working days like some other Bookmakers.
Can I reverse a withdrawal?
We do not allow this.
Is my bank detail secure?
Most certainly. Your debit card details are stored securely on our Merchant Bank portal. All numbers are encrypted bar the last four so when topping up all you need to gives us is your 3-digit CVV number.
Will I get paid on first past the post and amended result?
We pay out on the first past the post winner and the official result in any UK and Irish horserace. Horses must carry the correct weight over the correct course.
Do you close winning accounts?
We do not close accounts. In order to be profitable we have to make a certain margin on turnover. So account restrictions are applied to bettors that we can’t beat or hedge their business because the price moves so quickly after they bet on the selection
