In its almost 60 years of operating, Betfred has continued to better itself, and it is rightly considered one of the best bookmakers in the UK. Not only is the sportsbook great, but there is a nice casino section, making it quite a complete bookmaker. Additionally, the website and the app are nice to navigate which allows a smooth experience for customers.
There is a fantastic range of methods available when depositing on Betfred, including some of the most popular e-wallets, which is always welcomed. Below, we have collected everything you need to know about depositing funds into a Betfred account, from the methods to the specific terms for each.

If you are new to Betfred and would like to find out how to deposit, you can follow our step-by-step guide below:
After entering the Betfred site or app, tap the 'Profile' icon in the top right corner of the screen, to enter the menu, then tap the 'Deposit' option to enter the cashier.
Once you have entered the cashier, you will be asked to select your method of deposit, and there is a nice variety available to customers. As always in our tests, we used a debit card.
With your method selected, the next step is to insert your payment details - including the card number, expiration date and security number - and then also enter your deposit amount. The latter must be higher than the minimum deposit amount.
As we do in each of our tests, we chose to deposit the minimum, so £5 in this case.
Finally, tap the green 'Deposit' button shown at the bottom of the cashier, and you will be taken to a confirmation screen showing that the funds have been added to your account. From here, tap the 'Home', 'All Sports' or 'Casino' tabs at the bottom of the screen to begin betting.
The standard minimum deposit on UK betting sites is normally £5 - with the only exception being Lottoland's £1 deposit minimum - and Betfred customers will see that this is the case when looking to add funds to their account. Whilst you must deposit and stake £10 to make the most of the welcome offers, having a £5 minimum is very good.
Given the restrictions when using sign-up offers, most customers start and stay with debit card deposits, and this is very understandable. As a result, this is the favoured method on Betfred and also the highest option presented when in the cashier. Furthermore, given the speed of not just deposits but also withdrawals, it makes sense to prefer this method.

Seeing bookmakers offering PayPal is not a new thing, but we are not complaining at all. The e-wallet offers quick transactions, and some believe that it is a safer way of depositing and withdrawing funds. Furthermore, withdrawals can sometimes take less time than other methods, which is a big incentive.

Customers will likely have seen Paysafecard as a deposit option on several betting sites, and for good reason. The deposit minimum remains the same at £5, but with some seeing it as a safer method of depositing, it is definitely a good option to have.

Skrill is a very popular e-wallet, and it does not come as a shock to see Betfred looking to make the most of this method. There are several benefits to using Skrill for betting transactions, and with a £5 deposit minimum, there are few downsides.
Additionally, customers can benefit from the inclusion of Skrill 1Tap which is a rare sighting on betting sites.

Similar to Skrill, Neteller is another well-known e-wallet, and Betfred's offering of both of the most popular traditional e-wallets is a very nice thing indeed. Partner this with a £5 minimum deposit and it is another strong point for the bookmaker.
