Reverse Withdrawals: Rules in Great Britain

Reverse withdrawal means cancelling a cashout to gamble with the funds again. Consumers in Great Britain must not be offered that option. It is not a deposit method.

A reverse withdrawal is the cancellation of a cashout request so the funds can be used to gamble again. It is not a deposit method.

Consumers must not be offered withdrawal cancellation

The Gambling Commission’s remote technical standard 14B requires that consumers must not be given the option to cancel a withdrawal request. The requirement took effect on 31 October 2021.

The previous version of this page described reversing a withdrawal as a convenient way to continue gambling. That guidance is outdated for Great Britain and has been removed.

If a withdrawal is delayed

Keep the withdrawal request and correspondence, ask the operator for an explanation and use its published complaints procedure if needed. A pending withdrawal is not a reason to continue gambling.

Read our payment methods information and check the operator’s current withdrawal terms.
