An Apple Pay casino is an online casino you can fund straight from your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch. There is no card number to type in – you confirm the payment with Face ID or Touch ID. Your Visa or Mastercard sits in the Apple Wallet app, and the casino never receives its details.
This method suits players who mostly play on mobile and want a deposit done in a few seconds. It does have two clear limits, though: it only works on Apple devices, and you cannot get your winnings back through it. The figures on this page come from a test of more than 30 transactions at 6 casinos.
Online casino gambling is strictly for people aged 18 and over. Play responsibly and only deposit amounts you can afford to lose.

How it works
Apple Pay is not a separate account or an e-wallet with its own balance. It is a way of paying with an existing Visa or Mastercard bank card that you add to Apple Wallet. The major Slovak banks support it – Tatra banka, VÚB, Slovenská sporiteľňa and mBank. The money comes out of your normal bank account, but the casino only sees a confirmed payment, not your card number.
How to deposit with Apple Pay:
- Add your bank’s Visa or Mastercard to the Wallet app.
- Log in to the casino on your Apple device and open the cashier.
- Choose Apple Pay as your deposit method.
- Enter the amount – from €1 at 22Bet, from €10 at Ice Casino.
- Confirm the payment with Face ID or Touch ID.
- Check your player balance – in testing, funds arrived within seconds.
Casinos that support Apple Pay
Of the casinos we review on this site, Apple Pay is confirmed in our source for only two – 22Bet and Ice Casino. For Tipsport, Fortuna and Kajot Intacto, Apple Pay is not listed in the available sources. That does not mean they will never add it, but check the casino cashier before you sign up.
| Casino | Apple Pay support | Min. deposit | Fee | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22Bet | yes | €1 | free | instant, €30 credited in 3 s |
| Ice Casino | yes | €10 | free | under 5 s, €50 credited in 4 s |
| Tipsport | not confirmed | – | – | check the casino cashier |
| Fortuna | not confirmed | – | – | check the casino cashier |
| Kajot Intacto | not confirmed | – | – | check the casino cashier |
Both casinos offer a welcome bonus when you deposit with Apple Pay. These figures come from the Apple Pay deposit test; offers change and our reviews may show a different current amount, so always confirm the terms with the operator.
| Casino | Welcome bonus | Wagering requirement |
|---|---|---|
| 22Bet | up to €1,500 + 150 free spins, split across 4 deposits | 35× |
| Ice Casino | up to €1,500 + 270 free spins | 40× |

Limits and fees
Apple Pay has no minimum deposit of its own – the casino sets it. In testing it was €1 at 22Bet and €10 at Ice Casino. The maximum depends on the casino’s rules and on the limits of the card in your Apple Wallet. If you want the lowest possible entry point, also take a look at our minimum deposit casinos.
Neither casino charged anything for Apple Pay deposits in testing. Watch out for your bank, however: several Slovak banks charge a fixed fee on card payments to casinos, with sources quoting roughly €3–7. Because Apple Pay charges the card in your Apple Wallet, that fee can apply here too – check your bank’s price list.
Example: you deposit €10 at Ice Casino. The casino charges nothing, but if your bank charged a €5 fee, you would pay €15 in total – 50% on top. On a €50 deposit the same fee would be 10%. With a bank that charges a fee, it therefore makes sense to make fewer deposits – always within a budget you set in advance.
Withdrawing winnings
You cannot withdraw via Apple Pay. Winnings have to be paid out by another method – for example PayPal, Skrill or bank transfer. Set up and verify your withdrawal method before your first deposit, so you are not held up adding details when it is time to cash out.
We explain how e-wallet withdrawals work on our PayPal casino page. If you would rather receive winnings to a bank account with an IBAN, see Revolut casino.
Pros and cons
- Deposits in seconds, confirmed with Face ID or Touch ID.
- The casino never sees your card details.
- Low minimum deposit at 22Bet – from €1.
- Supported by the major Slovak banks.
- No casino fee at 22Bet or Ice Casino in testing.
- Apple devices only, not available on Android.
- Winnings cannot be withdrawn via Apple Pay.
- Among the casinos we review, confirmed only at 22Bet and Ice Casino.
- Your bank may charge a fee for payments to casinos.
What to watch out for
- Licence: both 22Bet and Ice Casino hold a Curaçao licence, not a Slovak ÚRHH licence. Decide whether that works for you.
- Bank fee: check whether your bank charges for payments to casinos.
- Withdrawal method: have PayPal, Skrill or a bank account ready before you want to cash out.
- Bonus terms: wagering requirements of 35× and 40× mean the bonus has to be played through several times.
- Deposit speed: one-tap deposits make it easy to keep topping up. Set limits and read our guide to responsible gambling.
- Alternatives: if you can’t see Apple Pay in the cashier, try Paysafecard casino or SMS casino deposits.
Editorial opinion
For iPhone owners, Apple Pay is one of the most convenient ways to deposit. In testing the money was in the account within 3–4 seconds, with no casino fee and no card number to type. We also like that the casino never receives your card details – a real advantage for online payments.
The weak spot is limited availability: among the brands we review, only 22Bet and Ice Casino are confirmed to offer it, neither holds a Slovak licence, and you have to withdraw by another route. We therefore see Apple Pay as a fast extra option rather than your only method. We compare the alternatives in our payment methods overview.
