+
5.1 What are 'Net Deposits'?
We have various security and anti-money laundering checks in place to ensure your money is kept safe.
When using more than one payment method, you must withdraw at least the same amount deposited back to each method used.
The Net Deposit figure is the difference between the Total Deposits and Total Withdrawals made using that payment method.
For example, if you have made a deposit of 20.00 from your Mastercard and 30.00 from your Skrill account and have yet to withdraw, your Net Deposits are 20.00 for your Mastercard and 30.00 for your Skrill account.
If you have a winning bet and you now have 100.00 available for withdrawal, you will need to pay the 20.00 back to your Mastercard and the 30.00 back to your Skrill account, once both of these Net Deposit figures are returned to 0.00 then the remaining 50.00 can be withdrawn to the withdrawal method of your choice.
You can see your current Net Deposit values in the following places:
- Account Details page -> Financial Details section -> Payment methods.
- Request Withdrawal page.
For further clarification or assistance with Net Deposit functionality, please contact our customer service team at care@sportpesa.com and we will be happy to help.
