Trustly sits between a classic bank transfer and an e-wallet. It moves money directly from and to your bank account, like a transfer, but the payment is confirmed in real time, like a card. This guide explains how it works and how it compares with the alternatives.
How Trustly works at a casino
- Choose Trustly or pay by bank in the casino cashier and enter the amount.
- Select your bank and log in with your usual bank credentials or app.
- Approve the payment; the casino credits it once Trustly confirms.
For withdrawals, casinos that use Trustly's payout service send the money to the bank account you deposited from. Because the account is in your name, a casino may use the bank data to complete part of the identity check.

Fees
Trustly's Swedish deposit page states no player-side fee, but the casino or your bank may charge fees, especially for currency conversion. The cashier shows any casino fee before you confirm.
Where you can use it
Trustly's availability depends on your bank and your country. A casino offering Trustly in one market may not offer it in another. Check the cashier after you register, since methods are shown per country.
Pros and cons
- Pros: no card details or extra wallet; deposits confirmed in real time; payouts to your bank where supported; bank-verified identity can speed up checks.
- Cons: not available everywhere; depends on your bank; some casinos only offer Trustly for deposits.
Whatever you choose, set deposit limits in your casino account; see responsible gaming.
