Why is my Paddy Power withdrawal pending, and how long does it take?
A Paddy Power withdrawal can stay pending while your account is verified, while extra identity or source-of-funds checks are done, or over weekends and bank holidays, which are not working days. Paddy Power says Pay by Bank arrives immediately once you have used it before, Visa Debit can take up to 2 hours and other cards take 2 to 5 working days.
| Method | How long Paddy Power says it takes | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Pay by Bank | Immediately (allow at least 90 minutes the first time) | |
| Visa Debit or prepaid card | Up to 2 hours in some cases | |
| Other cards | 2 to 5 working days | |
| UK bank transfer (GBP) | Same day if requested before 10.30am, otherwise next day | |
| International bank transfer | 3 to 5 days | |
| PayPal, Skrill, Neteller | Up to 24 hours at busy times |
Why a Paddy Power withdrawal can be pending
- New accounts must be verified before you can withdraw.
- Withdrawals usually go back to the payment method you used to deposit.
- Your first withdrawal, or a larger withdrawal, can need extra identity checks or evidence of where your money came from.
- Weekends and bank holidays do not count as working days.
- If your card is not eligible for faster payouts, the standard card withdrawal time applies.
If it hasn't arrived
Wait the full time for your method before contacting Paddy Power support: 5 working days for standard card withdrawals.
