Getting Money In and Out: The Essentials
One of the most common concerns for new casino players is how deposits and withdrawals work. Will the money arrive quickly? Is it safe? What if a withdrawal gets stuck?
This guide answers all those questions. We’ll cover every payment method available to Indian players, typical timelines, fees, and exactly what to do if something goes wrong.
Before your first deposit, make sure your account is fully verified. Read our KYC verification guide if you haven’t completed this step yet.
Payment Methods Available for Indian Players
UPI (Unified Payments Interface) — Most Recommended
UPI is the fastest, most convenient payment method for Indian casino players. It works through apps like Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, and your bank’s UPI app.
Why UPI is the best choice:
- Instant deposits (usually credited in seconds)
- Withdrawals typically process within 1-4 hours
- No fees in most cases
- Available 24/7 including weekends and bank holidays
- Works on any amount (even small ₹100 deposits)
- Familiar and trusted by all Indian users
How to deposit via UPI:
- Go to Cashier / Deposits on your casino account
- Select UPI as payment method
- Enter the amount
- The platform provides a UPI ID or QR code
- Open your UPI app, scan or enter the ID
- Authenticate with PIN or biometric
- Funds credited usually within 10-30 seconds
UPI withdrawal process:
- Go to Cashier / Withdrawals
- Select UPI
- Enter your registered UPI ID (must match KYC name)
- Enter amount
- Processing time: 1-4 hours on most platforms
Net Banking
Suitable for larger transactions where you prefer your direct bank account.
Popular banks supported: SBI, HDFC, ICICI, Axis, Kotak, PNB, Bank of Baroda, and 50+ others
Deposit timeline: Usually 30 minutes during banking hours; may be slower on weekends
Withdrawal timeline: 24-72 hours (faster with IMPS, slower with NEFT/RTGS)
Best for: Large withdrawals (₹25,000+) where you want funds directly in your savings account
E-Wallets
Some platforms support Indian e-wallets:
Paytm: Widely accepted, instant deposits, 4-24 hour withdrawals
PhonePe: Available on select platforms
MobiKwik: Less common but available on some platforms
Skrill / Neteller: International e-wallets, good for international platforms
Note: E-wallet withdrawals are generally faster than bank transfers but may have lower withdrawal limits.
Cards (Debit / Credit)
Debit Cards (Visa/Mastercard/RuPay):
- Deposits usually instant to 30 minutes
- Withdrawal to cards may not be supported on all platforms
- RuPay cards are often preferred for domestic transactions
Credit Cards:
- Accepted on some platforms for deposits
- Not recommended — gambling with credit is a common path to debt
- Some Indian banks now block credit card transactions to gambling platforms
Cryptocurrency
Select platforms (especially 1xBet, BC Game) accept:
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- Ethereum (ETH)
- USDT (Tether)
- Litecoin (LTC)
Advantages: Fast, low fees, private
Disadvantages: Requires crypto exchange account, price volatility, complex for beginners
Best for: Tech-savvy players who already own crypto

Step-by-Step: Making Your First Withdrawal
Before You Request a Withdrawal
- Complete KYC — Withdrawals require full identity verification
- Verify bank account / UPI — The name must match your KYC documents exactly
- Meet wagering requirements — If you claimed a bonus, requirements must be met first
- Check minimum withdrawal — Usually ₹500-₹1,000 minimum
The Withdrawal Process
- Go to Cashier / Wallet / Account on the platform
- Select Withdraw
- Choose your preferred payment method
- Enter the amount (within the allowed limits)
- Confirm your payment details (UPI ID or bank account number)
- Submit the request
The platform will send a confirmation email/SMS. You can track the status in your transaction history.
What Happens After Submission
- Automatic check: Platform software verifies you meet all requirements
- Manual review (if needed): Large withdrawals may require human review
- Processing: Funds sent to your payment provider
- Credit: Money arrives in your account
Solving Common Withdrawal Problems
Problem: “Withdrawal Pending” for Too Long
First, check the typical processing time for your chosen method. If it’s been significantly longer:
- Check your email for any verification requests from the platform
- Go to your transaction history — is the status still “Pending” or has it changed to “Processing” or “Rejected”?
- Contact support via live chat with your transaction reference number
Problem: “Withdrawal Rejected”
Common reasons:
- KYC incomplete — Submit pending documents
- Name mismatch — Bank account name doesn’t match KYC name
- Wagering requirements not met — You must clear the bonus requirement first
- Account activity flagged — Contact support to resolve
Problem: “Bank Account Not Accepted”
Ensure:
- The account is in your name (matches KYC documents exactly)
- The bank account is active and not dormant
- IFSC code is correct
- Account supports online transactions
Problem: Withdrawal Amount Deducted from Balance but Not Received
This can happen due to banking processing delays. Steps:
- Wait 48 hours — sometimes NEFT transactions are delayed
- Check with your bank if they received a credit
- If not received after 48 hours, contact the casino’s support with your transaction ID and bank details
- Tiger Casino ID can help mediate this process — contact us
Tax Considerations for Withdrawals
Under Indian tax law:
TDS (Tax Deducted at Source):
- 30% TDS on winnings above ₹10,000 from online gaming
- Platforms deduct TDS before crediting your withdrawal
- You’ll receive a Form 16A showing TDS paid
Income Tax Return:
- Online gaming winnings must be declared in your ITR
- Gross winnings (before TDS) are taxable; losses are not deductible
- Tax applies per financial year on net winnings above ₹10,000
Keep records:
- Save all transaction receipts and Form 16A certificates
- Consult a CA if your gambling income is significant
Fees: What to Expect
Most deposits are free. Withdrawals are usually free but check your platform’s fee schedule:
- UPI: Usually free (platform bears the fee)
- Net Banking: May have small fees (₹0-₹25 typically)
- E-Wallets: Check the platform — some charge 1-3% on withdrawals
- Crypto: Network fees apply (variable, usually small)
Tips for Faster Withdrawals
- Use UPI — Always the fastest option for Indian players
- Complete KYC upfront — Verified accounts get priority processing
- Withdraw during business hours — Monday-Friday, 9am-6pm typically fastest
- Keep amounts under round number thresholds — Very large withdrawals often trigger manual review
- Maintain consistent payment methods — Using the same UPI/bank account as your deposit avoids extra verification
