bet365 ends US credit card deposits from 13 April

Licences & markets

bet365 stopped accepting credit cards for US account deposits on 13 April 2026, while debit cards and Apple Pay remain available if they are not linked to credit facilities. The change comes as some US states move to prohibit or consider prohibiting credit card betting, and Massachusetts rules bar credit card deposits; the Massachusetts Gaming Commission has reopened its licence application process at bet365’s request.
