Verywell Currencies: GBP, USD, RUB & BTC Explained

Which Currencies Does Verywell UK Support?

We hold player balances in four currencies — GBP, USD, RUB and Bitcoin — so a UK player never has to convert into someone else's money just to deposit or play. Bitcoin balances are quoted in BTC itself, which is why it sits outside the three fiat figures in the table below. Each currency carries its own fixed withdrawal ceiling, set per day, per week and per month, and those figures apply the same way no matter which of the four balances a player holds — GBP, USD and RUB share the same structure, just in different denominations.

Monthly ceilings can be raised by agreement with our support team, and whichever currency a balance is held in, only one withdrawal request is processed at a time, in the order it was received. A player holding RUB sees the same three-tier structure as a GBP or USD holder, just scaled to the 150,000 / 700,000 / 3,000,000 figures above. Bitcoin withdrawals follow the same one-request-at-a-time rule, even though the table above speaks specifically to the three fiat currencies.

Choosing and Holding a Currency

GBP, USD, RUB and Bitcoin are the four currencies we support, and funding an account always has to come from the player's own name — a rule that applies from registration onward, whether the deposit is in GBP, USD, RUB or Bitcoin. Third-party cards, e-wallets or bank accounts are not accepted in any currency. Whatever currency a deposit lands in, the card or wallet used for it has to match the name on the account.

Bitcoin sits apart from the three fiat currencies because it moves outside the card networks, which is why GBP, USD and RUB balances are the ones tied directly to Visa and Mastercard. Funds can never be returned to a Mastercard credit card in any of the four currencies — a withdrawal due to a Mastercard credit account is paid out through an alternative method instead, in the same currency the balance is held in.

Which currency should a UK player pick?

For a UK player, GBP lines up most directly with a UK-issued card, a UK e-wallet or a UK bank transfer, which keeps a deposit and the matching withdrawal moving through the same currency from start to finish. Our terms are written and binding in English, which applies equally whichever of the four currencies a player chooses. Withdrawals of USD 1,000 or more, or the GBP and RUB equivalent, trigger identity verification before the payout clears, whatever currency the balance sits in. The same threshold and the same English-language terms apply whether a player banks in pounds, dollars, roubles or Bitcoin.

Currency Rules to Keep in Mind

A handful of conditions apply whichever of the four currencies an account runs on, and they hold for GBP, USD, RUB and Bitcoin alike. They cover how deposits turn into withdrawable funds and what happens if a balance sits unused.

• Same currency out as in: withdrawals go back through the method used to deposit, so a GBP deposit returns as a GBP payout — see our deposit and withdrawal methods.
• Wagering before cashing out: every deposit needs 3x wagering before it can be withdrawn — a £10 deposit means £30 in qualifying bets, tracked in whichever currency the account holds; full detail in our wagering requirements.
• Unused funds fee: withdrawing money that was never put into play costs a 20% fee, in GBP, USD or RUB alike.
• Verification threshold: withdrawals of USD 1,000 or more, or the equivalent in GBP or RUB, trigger identity checks before payout.
• Mastercard credit exception: funds can't be returned to a Mastercard credit card in any currency, so an alternative payout method is used instead.
• Bonus accounting in GBP: our welcome bonuses are capped at £1,000 no matter which currency the matching deposit was made in.
• No-deposit winnings: winnings from a no-deposit bonus need a real deposit plus wagering before they can be withdrawn, in whichever currency the account holds.
