Visa debit yes, Visa credit no — at licensed sites
Since 14 April 2020 UKGC-licensed operators may not accept credit cards for gambling, including Visa credit cards. Visa debit remains the most common way to deposit at licensed casinos.

An offshore casino isn’t bound by that rule, which is one reason it can look more flexible. It also means none of the Commission’s affordability, ID or complaint protections apply to you.

Before you use a card at any casino
Check the operator on the UKGC register. If it isn’t there, your bank’s chargeback route may be the only recourse, and gambling transactions are often hard to dispute. Many UK banks also let you block gambling payments on your card in their app.
