Getting your first withdrawal right is the real test of any iGaming platform — this guide shows you how to pass it.
Getting Ready
- Ensure you are at least 18 years old or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction.
- Prepare a valid government-issued ID (passport, driver’s license) and proof of address (utility bill, bank statement) for verification.
- Have a confirmed payment method: credit/debit card, e-wallet, or bank transfer that matches your registered name.
- Review the platform’s bonus terms, especially wagering requirements and game contributions.
- Understand the local tax implications: winnings from an online casino may be taxable in your country.
- Bookmark the support contacts – live chat, email, and FAQ – for quick help.
Registration
- Go to Playup and click the “Register” or “Sign Up” button.
- Fill in your email address, create a strong password (mix of letters, numbers, symbols).
- Provide personal details: full name, date of birth, address, phone number – exactly as on your ID.
- Choose your preferred currency and set two-factor authentication (2FA) if available.
- Accept the terms and conditions, then submit. Check your email for a verification link.
- Log in and complete the KYC process by uploading your ID and proof of address before depositing.
Calculating Your Bonus
Bonuses often come with wagering requirements. Let’s calculate the playthrough you need to clear a deposit match bonus.
Example: You deposit $100 and receive a 100% match bonus up to $200. So you get an extra $100 in bonus funds. Combined balance is $200. The wagering requirement is 35x the bonus amount: 35 × $100 = $3,500. You must wager $3,500 before any withdrawal. If the game contributes differently (e.g., slots count 100%, table games count 20%), you adjust accordingly. To clear in slots, you need $3,500 in total bets. If you play a slot with 96% RTP, your expected loss is 4% × $3,500 = $140. So out of your $200, you might end with $60 on average. Always check the terms.
Formula: Wagering requirement = Bonus amount × Playthrough factor. Total play needed = Wagering requirement / (Game contribution percent).
Important: Bonuses are not instantly withdrawable; meet the playthrough first.
Deposits & Withdrawals
The casino supports several payment methods. Below is a typical overview. Check the cashier for specifics.
| Method | Min Deposit | Min Withdrawal | Processing Time | Fees |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visa/Mastercard | $10 | $20 | 1-3 business days | None by casino |
| Skrill | $10 | $20 | 24 hours | None |

| Cryptocurrency | $20 equivalent | $50 equivalent | Up to 12 hours | Network fees |
Withdrawals are processed after verification. Always use the same method you deposited with when possible.
Licence & Player Protection
Playup operates under a Curacao eGaming license. While Curacao-licensed casinos offer a level of regulatory oversight, they are not as strict as Malta or UK licenses. Important: Winnings from such casinos may be subject to local income tax depending on your country of residence. Consult a tax advisor.
Player protection includes SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools (deposit limits, self-exclusion), and a clear privacy policy. Always gamble responsibly.
Worth Knowing – Handling a Delayed Withdrawal
If your withdrawal is pending longer than stated, follow these steps:
- Check your email for any pending KYC requests – incomplete verification is the top reason.
- Verify that you have met all bonus wagering requirements – check your bonus balance.
- Contact support via live chat or email. Provide your account ID and withdrawal reference.
- If no response within 48 hours, escalate to the casino’s compliance department.
- Standard timeframe: e-wallets up to 24 hours, cards up to 3 days, bank transfers up to 7 days.
- If unresolved, contact the Curacao eGaming licensing authority through their complaint portal.
Troubleshooting
- Can’t log in? Reset your password via the “Forgot Password” link. Check that caps lock is off. If still stuck, contact support.
- Deposit not credited? Refresh the cashier page. Check your bank statement. If debited but not credited, contact support with transaction ID.
- Withdrawal rejected? Usually due to unmet wagering or missing documents. Review your bonus terms and upload all KYC documents fresh.
- Game not loading? Clear browser cache and cookies, disable VPN, or try a different device. The platform works as a progressive web app (PWA) from the browser.
- Bonus not applied? Ensure you opted in during deposit. Some bonuses require a promo code. Check the terms.
- Account restricted? You may have violated terms like multiple accounts or geo-restrictions. Contact support for clarification.
