Payments are where a lot of betting sites either win or lose me as a long term user, and PlexBet's cashier covers the methods I actually expected to see on an Italian licensed site, cards, PayPal, Skrill and Postepay, which between them cover most of what Italians and expats reach for first.
Withdrawals range from instant to a stated maximum of 72 hours depending on the method, and I tested enough of the lineup during this review to have a real opinion on which end of that range each one tends to land on in practice.
This page covers the methods themselves, the identity checks every Italian licensed operator requires, and the timing you should realistically expect once you request a withdrawal.
- 4 main methods Cards, PayPal, Skrill, Postepay
- Instant to 72h Withdrawal time range by method
- Codice fiscale Required for Italian accounts
- ID verification Standard ADM requirement before withdrawal
The payment methods on offer
Cards, meaning Visa and Mastercard, cover the most familiar route for anyone arriving from outside Italy, working exactly as you would expect for both deposits and, where supported, withdrawals back to the same card.
PayPal and Skrill bring the e-wallet option many players prefer, particularly useful if you would rather not have a betting transaction appear directly on a bank statement, and both tend to process deposits instantly.
Postepay is the one method that genuinely surprised me as a newcomer to Italy, it is a prepaid card linked to the Italian post office network, Poste Italiane, and it is so widely used here that many Italians treat it as their main everyday card rather than a niche prepaid option.
- Visa and Mastercard for straightforward card deposits
- PayPal for a familiar e-wallet route
- Skrill as a second e-wallet option
- Postepay, the Italian prepaid card tied to the post office network

Why Postepay matters if you are new to Italy
If you are an expat who has not used Postepay before, it is worth getting one even beyond betting, since it is accepted everywhere from the corner tabacchi to online shops that otherwise want an Italian issued card. You can buy and top one up at most post offices and a huge number of tobacconists around the country.
For PlexBet specifically, having a Postepay card ready means one less payment method hurdle during setup, since it sidesteps any friction that can occasionally come with foreign issued cards on Italian regulated sites.
Deposit process, start to finish
Depositing is the straightforward half of the equation on any regulated site, select your method in the cashier, enter the amount, confirm through your card or wallet provider's own security step, and the funds typically appear in your account balance within moments for card and e-wallet methods.
I did not encounter a failed deposit attempt during testing across the methods I used, which is a reasonable sign of a well integrated cashier rather than something to take for granted on every betting site.
Payment methods compared
How the four main methods compared during my own deposits and withdrawals.
| Method | Deposit speed | Withdrawal speed | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visa / Mastercard | Instant | Up to 72 hours | Familiar route for new players |
| PayPal | Instant | Fast, often within a day | Keeping betting off a bank statement |
| Skrill | Instant | Fast, often within a day | A second e-wallet option |
| Postepay | Instant | Moderate, faster than card | Players already using Poste Italiane |
Speeds reflect personal testing and general banking behaviour for each method type, actual times can vary.
Withdrawal timing by method
Withdrawals are where methods start to differ. E-wallet withdrawals through PayPal or Skrill were the fastest in my testing, landing well within a day and in some cases close to instant once approved. Card withdrawals took longer, closer to the stated maximum of 72 hours, which matches how card refunds typically behave across the banking system generally rather than being specific to PlexBet.
Postepay withdrawals sat somewhere in between in my experience, faster than a standard card refund but not quite as immediate as an e-wallet.
- Request your withdrawal from the cashier once your account is verified
- The operator reviews and approves the request, usually within a short window
- Funds are sent via your chosen method
- Processing time to your account or wallet depends on that method
Verification, the part everyone has to do once
Before your first withdrawal clears, expect an identity check, a photo of your ID document and confirmation of your codice fiscale if you have not already supplied it at registration. This is a standard ADM requirement for every licensed Italian operator, not a PlexBet specific extra step, and it exists to confirm you are who you say you are and that you meet the 18+ age requirement.
I would strongly suggest completing this verification as early as possible, ideally right after registering rather than waiting until you want to withdraw, since it removes the one step most likely to slow down your very first payout.
Upload a clear, well lit photo of your full ID document the first time, a blurry or cropped image is the most common reason verification takes longer than it needs to.
Keeping your payment method consistent
Like most ADM licensed operators, PlexBet expects withdrawals to return via the same method used to deposit, where that method supports withdrawals at all, as a standard anti money laundering safeguard rather than a PlexBet specific rule. If you deposited by card, expect your withdrawal to go back to that same card first, up to the amount deposited.
Keeping one primary method for both deposits and withdrawals, rather than switching between several, tends to make the whole process smoother and avoids any confusion about which route your money should take back out.
Questions people ask
What is the fastest way to withdraw from PlexBet
In my own testing, e-wallet withdrawals through PayPal or Skrill were consistently the fastest, often clearing well within a day once approved. Card withdrawals took noticeably longer, closer to the stated maximum of 72 hours, which is typical of how card refunds move through banking systems generally.
If withdrawal speed matters most to you, depositing and withdrawing through the same e-wallet is the most reliable way to stay at the faster end of PlexBet's stated range.
Why do I need a codice fiscale to use PlexBet
The codice fiscale is the Italian tax identification code, and every ADM licensed gambling operator in Italy is required to collect it from account holders as part of standard identity and tax compliance. This is not a PlexBet specific request, it applies equally to every licensed operator in the market.
If you are a resident in Italy, whether an Italian citizen or an expat, you will already have a codice fiscale issued by the local authorities, and it is worth having the number ready before you register.
How long does ID verification take
In my experience, verification completed within a day once I submitted a clear photo of my ID document, though timing can vary depending on how busy the review queue is and whether your submitted documents are clear and complete. A blurry or partial image is the most common reason it takes longer.
I would recommend completing verification shortly after registering rather than waiting until your first withdrawal request, so there is no delay at the point you actually want your money.
Can I withdraw to a different card or account than I deposited with
Generally, standard practice among ADM licensed operators, PlexBet included, is to return withdrawals to the same method used for the original deposit, up to the amount deposited, as an anti money laundering safeguard. Any amount beyond your original deposit may then be sent via another available method.
If you are unsure how this applies to your specific situation, the live chat support team, reachable alongside email at [email protected], can confirm the exact process for your account.
Is there a minimum withdrawal amount
Minimum withdrawal thresholds are standard across most regulated operators, though PlexBet's specific current figure is set in the cashier rather than advertised on the main site, so check there for the exact number before requesting a small withdrawal.
In practice this rarely affects anyone withdrawing a meaningful amount of winnings, it mainly exists to avoid processing fees eating into very small transactions.
Does PostePay work for both deposits and withdrawals
Yes, Postepay supports deposits, and in my testing withdrawals back to a Postepay card processed at a moderate speed, faster than a typical bank card refund though not quite as immediate as an e-wallet like PayPal or Skrill.
Given how widely used Postepay is across Italy, it is a sensible default method for players already using it for everyday spending, since it avoids introducing a separate card or wallet purely for betting.
Are there any fees for deposits or withdrawals
PlexBet does not advertise additional fees on standard deposits or withdrawals through its main supported methods, though it is always worth checking the current cashier terms, since any changes to fee policy would appear there first rather than on general marketing pages.
Your own bank or e-wallet provider may apply its own separate charges depending on your account type, which is outside PlexBet's control and worth checking with your provider directly if you are unsure.
What should I do if a withdrawal is taking longer than expected
First check that your account verification is fully complete, since an outstanding document request is the most common reason a withdrawal stalls beyond the stated timeframe. If verification is already complete and the stated window has passed, contacting support directly through live chat or [email protected] is the quickest way to get a specific answer on your request.
In my own experience the support team responded quickly when I raised a question through chat, so I would use that channel first for anything time sensitive like a delayed payout.
