I tested every payment method available at online casinos licensed by SRIJ in Portugal throughout 2026: MB WAY, Multibanco, Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller and bank transfer. No legal operator in Portugal accepts cryptocurrencies, a restriction imposed by Decree-Law No. 66/2015 and enforced by SRIJ. MB WAY is the most recommended method: instant deposits and withdrawals, eligible for all welcome promotions.
Bank cards
Paying by bank card is the most reliable way to deposit funds into your account and withdraw winnings at SRIJ casinos in Portugal in 2026. Visa and Mastercard are universally accepted at all 17 licensed operators. Deposits are instant, without commission from the casino. Withdrawals take between 1 and 3 business days, depending on the issuing bank.
Electronic wallets
Electronic wallets are one of the most popular payment methods for online casinos in Portugal in 2026. MB WAY is the preferred method: instant deposits and withdrawals, eligible for all welcome promotions at SRIJ operators. PayPal, Skrill and Neteller are also accepted at most casinos, with withdrawals processed in under 24 hours.
Cryptocurrencies
No online casino operator licensed by SRIJ in Portugal accepts cryptocurrencies in 2026. The restriction stems from Decree-Law No. 66/2015, which requires each operator to ensure transaction traceability and to pay the special online gambling tax in euros. Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies clash with these requirements. Casinos with Curaçao or Malta licences accept crypto from Portuguese players, but operate illegally in Portugal.
