Sofort (often shown as Klarna Sofort) is a bank transfer method that sends money straight from your online banking to the casino cashier. You pick your bank, log in through the Sofort interface, confirm the payment, and the casino receives a confirmation in real time, so your balance is usually credited within minutes. Sofort works with participating banks in countries such as Germany and Austria, and the cashier will only show it when your account location and bank are eligible.
Before you deposit, check three things in the cashier: the minimum and maximum per transaction, any fixed fee added on top, and whether the casino treats Sofort as an “instant” deposit but a “bank transfer” withdrawal. Many casinos don’t pay out back to Sofort, so withdrawals go to your regular bank account after a verification step, which can add 1–3 business days on top of processing time. Sofort payments also don’t support chargebacks like card payments, and some welcome bonuses exclude Sofort deposits, so read the bonus terms before you confirm.
Sofort is a bank transfer method that connects you to your online banking and confirms the payment straight away. You pick Sofort at the cashier, choose your bank, log in in a secure window, approve the transfer, and the casino credits your balance as soon as the confirmation comes through.
The casino credits Sofort deposits in minutes in most cases because the payment is confirmed instantly, even though the bank transfer itself settles later. If the cashier shows “pending” for longer than 30 minutes, check your bank’s payment status and the casino’s transaction history before contacting support.
Limits depend on the casino and your bank, but many casinos set minimum deposits around €10 and single-deposit caps in the €1,000–€5,000 range. Your bank can also block or limit Sofort payments based on daily transfer limits or strong customer authentication rules.
Most casinos do not charge a fee for Sofort deposits, but your bank’s pricing can still apply in rare cases. The cashier screen shows the final credited amount before you confirm, so you can spot any charge or conversion before the transfer is approved.
No, Sofort is typically deposit-only at casinos, so withdrawals go to another method such as bank transfer, a card, or an e-wallet. Some casinos also require you to withdraw to a bank account in your own name after completing identity checks.
