Trustly sits between the bookmaker and your online bank. You pick your bank, log in with your usual credentials or BankID, approve the amount, and the deposit is credited before you return to the page. Because the bank has already identified you, some operators use the same step as registration: the "Pay N Play" model, where the first deposit creates the account. Withdrawals reverse the flow, back to the same bank account.
Instant deposits on every site that offers it. Withdrawals arrived within hours in our Swedish and Dutch tests, the fastest fiat payout we recorded outside PayPal. Speed depends on whether the bank supports instant transfers; most in the Nordics do.
None, in either direction, on the sites we tested. Trustly deposits qualify for bonuses like any bank deposit.
Because the bank identifies you, operators licensed in Sweden, Finland and Denmark treat the Trustly login as identity verification; you may never upload a document. Elsewhere it still helps: the account name comes from the bank.
Outside Europe, and on most international platforms. Similar services exist under other names in Germany (Sofort) and the UK (pay by bank).
Six of the twenty-two, mostly on their Nordic and Western European sites.
No, it moves money directly between your bank and the bookmaker; it holds nothing.
Registration through the first Trustly deposit: the bank identifies you, the operator creates the account.
The login happens on Trustly’s page, licensed as a payment institution; the bookmaker never sees your credentials.
