What is the minimum amount I can withdraw from my Sterling House Casino Account?
The minimum you can withdraw from your casino account to your preferred payment method is £25.00.
However, this minimum requirement is also applied to any amount sent for withdrawal greater than the initial deposit amount.
For example if you had deposited £20 by credit card and wanted to withdraw £35 by way of alternate payment method, you would
be unable to withdraw the entire amount. The reason being that all withdrawal requests are first credited to your credit cards,
up to the original amount that you deposited with each credit card. The remaining balance is paid to you as per your choice of
alternate payment method. Thus if you had £35 to withdraw and £20 had to be returned to your credit card you would only have £15
remaining to be credited to an alternate payment method but it would be below the £25 minimum requirement.
Sterling House Casino has a maximum of £5,000 allowed per withdrawal transaction. A maximum of one £5,000 withdrawal will be processed per week.
