Worth knowing
UK rules ban depositing with a credit card at any licensed casino, so only debit cards work. Some e-wallets are excluded from the welcome bonus, so if claiming the offer matters to you, deposit with debit or pay-by-bank and read the bonus terms first. Cashier methods can vary by account status, so the live cashier is the final word.
Deposit checklist
- Use a debit card, not a credit card
- Confirm your bank is not blocking gambling payments
- Deposit at least £10 to qualify for the welcome offer
- Pick a bonus-eligible method if you want the match
Make your first deposit
Deposit from £10 and the welcome offer opts in. Confirm methods and limits in the live cashier.

What is the minimum deposit at Swift Casino?
Around £10 for most methods, with bank transfer typically higher at £50. Confirm in the cashier as minimums can vary by method.
Why was my card declined at Swift Casino?
UK banks sometimes block gambling transactions by default, or the card lacks 3-D Secure approval. Try an e-wallet, check your bank's gambling-block setting, or contact your bank.
Which deposit triggers the welcome bonus?
A qualifying first deposit of at least £10 opts you into the 100% up to £25 + 100 spins offer. Some methods, like certain e-wallets, can be excluded from bonuses, so check terms.
Are crypto deposits accepted?
As a UKGC site, Swift focuses on regulated fiat methods like debit cards, PayPal and pay-by-bank rather than crypto. Use the listed UK methods.
