Bank by bank

Which bank works at which casino

A bank link casino lets you deposit straight from your online bank: you pick your bank in the cashier, confirm the payment with Smart-ID or Mobile-ID, and the money arrives instantly. Most Estonian bank links run on the Trustly platform. A regular bank transfer is accepted by all 16 casinos in our comparison, so no Estonian bank's customer is truly locked out — the differences appear in direct bank-link support.

SEB, LHV and Swedbank are covered almost completely: each works at 15 of the 16 casinos, with only 22bet missing. If you want your own bank's ranking with its bank-specific details, see the dedicated pages SEB casinos and LHV casinos.

Luminor coverage is somewhat thinner: the bank link works at 12 of the 16 casinos — Unibet, Optibet, Chanz and 22bet don't offer it directly, though a bank transfer still works there. Revolut users should note that only two casinos in our comparison support a direct payment, Optibet and Unibet — with Revolut as your main account, the choice is clearly narrower.

Bank-link technology also powers instant casinos: at a Pay N Play casino the account is created automatically with the first deposit. We compare those separately at Pay N Play casinos, a Trustly-centred ranking lives at Trustly casinos, and an overview of every payment method — from cards to crypto — at payment methods.

Overview

Which Estonian banks work at casinos

The bank link is the default casino payment method in Estonia. Across our catalog the most widely supported are Swedbank, SEB, LHV and Luminor — those four cover the vast majority of Estonian retail customers.

Technically a payment reaches the casino two ways: as a direct connection between bank and casino, or through an intermediary, of which Trustly is the most common. To a player both look identical and both are safe — the intermediary simply lets a casino cover more banks at once.

If you bank with one in particular, the filtered list is the quickest route: SEB casinos or LHV casinos.

Choosing

Direct bank link or Trustly?

Where a casino offers both, the difference to a player is small. A direct link goes straight to your bank; Trustly is an intermediary showing the same payment window whichever bank you use. Security in both cases rests on your bank’s own login.

The practical difference shows up when one of them is down. If the direct link throws an error, try via Trustly and vice versa — the fault is often with one channel rather than with the bank.

Trustly’s mechanics are written up separately on Trustly casinos: fees, security, account-free play, withdrawals step by step, and what to do when a payment fails.

The account must be in your name

A bank-link payment has to come from your own account. Depositing from someone else’s account is prohibited at a licensed casino and is a classic reason a withdrawal is held up. See also KYC.

FAQ

Bank link casino questions

What is a bank link?

A payment method where you confirm the transfer in your own online bank without entering card details. In Estonia it is the most common way to fund a casino account.

Do all Estonian banks work?

The four largest — Swedbank, SEB, LHV and Luminor — are the most widely supported. For a smaller bank it is worth checking the casino cashier.

How does a bank link differ from Trustly?

A bank link is a direct connection between bank and casino; Trustly is an intermediary connecting to many banks through one interface. To a player both look the same.

Is a bank-link payment free?

For the player, normally yes. Casinos absorb the processing fee and banks do not usually charge for a domestic Estonian transfer.

Can a bank-link payment be reversed?

No. Unlike a card payment a bank transfer is final. That makes choosing a licensed casino more important here than with other methods.

Do you get a bonus with a bank link?

Usually yes — unlike some e-wallets a bank link is not normally excluded from bonuses. Check the minimum qualifying deposit all the same.

Can you play by bank link without registering?

Yes. The account-free (Pay N Play) model runs on the bank link. See Pay N Play casinos.

Where does a withdrawal go?

To the same account the deposit came from. That is an anti-money-laundering requirement, not a casino preference.

Good to know

The bank link in practice: speed, safety and terms

The bank link's security model is simple and strong: you confirm the payment in your own bank, and the casino sees neither your passwords nor your account details. Withdrawals always travel back to the same account you deposited from — this closed loop protects both you and the casino from fraud. We walk through the whole process step by step in Trustly casinos: how bank-link payments work.

Your bank doesn't change the casino's rules: bonuses, wagering requirements and limits are exactly the same for SEB, LHV, Swedbank and Luminor customers. So compare casinos, not banks — withdrawal speed, the licence and the clarity of the terms are what actually shape the experience. Before the first withdrawal the casino usually asks for KYC verification, so keep your casino account details matching your bank account holder's name.

A bank-link deposit generally qualifies for the welcome bonus too, but always re-read the terms. When you're weighing several offers, the promotion value comparison tool brings them onto one scale and helps you work through the impact of the wagering requirement.

Even the fastest bank link doesn't turn gambling into a source of income. In Estonia playing is allowed from age 21 and licensed operators are supervised by the Tax and Customs Board — prefer MTA-licensed casinos from Estonian-licensed casinos, set your budget before you play and stay within it.
