How to Withdraw via Pohjola
If your online casino supports bank transfers, withdrawing with Pohjola is usually simple. Most platforms list it under local bank transfer options. Once your account is verified and your winnings are eligible for withdrawal, you can start the process using basic banking details.
You’ll usually need to enter your IBAN and possibly your BIC, depending on how the casino structures its withdrawal form. Some sites auto-fill this if you’ve used the same method for deposits. Make sure your account name matches the name on your casino profile to avoid delays or rejections.
Payout speed varies based on the casino’s internal processing time and how quickly the funds are credited by your bank. Some transfers arrive within one business day, while others may take longer, especially if identity checks occur or if the request is made over a weekend.
- Step 1: Log in to your online casino account and go to the cashier or withdrawal section. Use your preferred mobile browser or casino app to access your account, then tap the section where withdrawals are processed.
- Step 2: Choose “Bank Transfer” as your withdrawal method, and select Pohjola or OP if listed. Some casinos may group it under local bank options, so look carefully for the payment or related Finnish bank services.
- Step 3: Enter your banking details, including IBAN and BIC, as required by the platform. Make sure the account is in your name and matches your casino profile to prevent any verification issues.
- Step 4: Enter the amount you want to withdraw, and make sure it meets the casino’s limits. Most casinos have a minimum and maximum withdrawal threshold, so double-check these before submitting.
- Step 5: Confirm the transaction and wait for the casino to process your request. Some sites may take a few hours to approve, while others might take a full business day or longer, depending on their internal procedures.
- Step 6: Check your OP banking app to confirm that the funds have arrived. Once the transaction is completed, your balance should reflect the updated amount. That is usually within 1 to 5 business days.
Pohjola Withdrawal Limits
Online casinos that support the payment as a withdrawal method apply their own limits to how much you can cash out at one time. These limits are determined by the casino’s policies, your account level, and the currency you use. Because Pohjola functions as a local bank transfer method through OP Financial Group, it’s treated similarly to other direct-to-bank payouts. Casino users should review the payment terms before submitting a request, especially if it’s their first withdrawal.
Minimum Withdrawal Amounts
Online casinos require a minimum amount to process a bank transfer. This prevents small transactions that may not be cost-effective for the platform to handle. Users should confirm this value in the withdrawal section of their account.
- €10 to €30 is common: The lower end is often found on sites that accept smaller stakes or support casual play.
- €20 is often the standard threshold: Many casinos set €20 as the lowest amount allowed for bank withdrawals, including those processed through the payment. This helps cover administrative costs tied to processing bank transactions.
- Same limits apply on mobile: Using a mobile device doesn’t change the payment method’s rules. Withdrawals made through the OP mobile app or a mobile browser follow the same minimum amounts as desktop requests.
Maximum Withdrawal Amounts
In addition to setting minimums, casinos also apply upper limits to how much can be withdrawn per transaction or over a set time period. These are often influenced by account verification, licensing terms, or anti-fraud measures.
- €2,000 to €5,000 per transaction is often the limit. This can differ based on account level or withdrawal history.
- Daily or weekly limits are sometimes used instead. Some casinos allow larger payouts but split them across several days.
- Higher limits may be available to verified users. Completing KYC checks early helps unlock faster and larger withdrawals.
- Mobile requests are fully supported as long as the account meets the eligibility criteria.
Average Withdrawal Times
Bank transfers processed through the payment do not arrive instantly. The wait time depends on casino processing speed and how fast your bank credits the funds.
| Stage | Estimated Time | Details |
| Casino Processing | 1–2 business days | Time needed for the casino to review and approve the withdrawal request. Delays may occur if account verification or KYC checks are still pending. |
| Bank Transfer (Pohjola) | 1–3 business days | Once the funds are released by the casino, the payment processes the transfer. Timing may vary due to weekends or public holidays. |
| Total Withdrawal Time | 2–5 business days | This includes both the casino’s internal processing and the bank’s handling time. Most users receive funds within this window. |
Fees for Pohjola Withdrawals
Most online casinos do not charge fees for standard bank transfers, though this can depend on the site’s withdrawal policy. Some platforms may apply a fixed fee to smaller transactions, usually those below a set minimum amount. On the banking side, incoming SEPA transfers in local currency are typically processed without additional cost when using an account under OP Financial Group. Fee structures can vary based on account type, so it’s worth reviewing the terms provided by your bank if you’re unsure.
Transfers involving foreign currency may result in conversion charges. If the casino pays in other currencies, your bank may apply a fee during the exchange process. These charges are usually reflected in the transaction summary once the funds arrive. Keeping an eye on the account after requesting a withdrawal helps confirm the exact amount received and whether any deductions were applied.
