Accounts, payments and withdrawals

Can I withdraw to a bank account belonging to a friend?

Direct answer

Usually not at regulated operators: withdrawals commonly must go to an account in the same verified customer name. If a payment method expires, request an approved alternative in your own name.

How to use this answer

The principle is supported by the referenced rules, but a different operator or market can apply a different settlement condition. Treat the named provider as a specific example, not as a universal betting rule.

Many regulated operators prohibit third-party payouts under identity and AML rules; use an eligible account in your own name.

The practical next step is to check the account history, verification request and the provider’s payment rules. Transfer times, identification and dispute handling can differ by provider and payment method.
