I submitted a deposit but my balance has not changed. What should I do?

Deposits made using credit cards, PayPal, NETeller or Moneybookers are usually added to your balance within a few seconds. With PayPal (and very rarely with NETeller and MoneyBookers as well), though, there might be exceptions due to the high activity volume on their website. If you made a payment and it does not show on your balance right away, please forward your receipt to support@PlayE4.com (or at least supply the transaction ID) so we can credit your account manually.
Be advised that you cannot submit sums lower than the minimum allowed or higher than the maximum.
If your deposit gets rejected for any reason, you will receive a corresponding notification message in your browser.

Withdrawal methods

What are the methods for withdrawing money?

You can choose from the following list: Bank Draft (check), Wire Transfer, PayPal, NETeller or MoneyBookers.

Your request will appear in the Transaction History page with a Requested indication if our web cashier has accepted your request for a withdrawal.

Once you have requested a withdrawal, the amount you have requested to withdraw will be instantly deducted from your PlayE4™ account.

An Approved indication will appear if PlayE4™ accounting approves your request and the money is en route to you. Approved requests cannot be canceled.

All withdrawals are processed within 3-4 business days from the moment you request them, except for Wire Transfer, which takes 4-5 business days, and Bank Draft (check), which might take up to a month. During this time you may cancel your withdrawal request and return it to your PlayE4™'s account.
The minimal amount to withdraw by wire transfer is $200. For all the other methods, the minimum is $20.




Bank Draft

What is a Bank Draft?

A Bank Draft is a bank issued check that can be cashed or deposited only by the person, to whom the check is made payable.
If you choose to withdraw by bank draft, a check will be mailed to your address.
Since it takes additional time for the banks to issue a bank draft after it was processed, as bank drafts are sent from abroad, please allow up to a month for the delivery of your check to the address submitted by you during registration.
If your address has changed, please notify us immediately. We charge no fees for handling bank drafts, but cannot be responsible for any fees charged by your bank.

Wire Transfer

What is a wire transfer?

A Wire Transfer is an electronic transfer of funds from PlayE4™'s bank account to yours.
It usually takes 5-6 business days for the funds to get settled in your bank account after your withdrawal request has been processed.
We charge no fees for wire transfers. If you choose wire transfer, please make sure you have your bank details ready and complete, so that you can quickly fill them in their corresponding fields.
  • Bank Name
  • Bank Address
  • Account Number
  • Account Holder's Name
  • Routing Number, ABA, IBAN or Swift Code
  • Sort Code (usually meaning your branch number)

I do not want my Visa card refunded

I prefer PlayE4™ not to refund my withdrawals to my Visa card. What should I do?

If you prefer to receive your withdrawals to your chosen method, rather than having PlayE4™ refund them back to your Visa card, please contact support@PlayE4.com and file a request for the above. We will place a note in your PlayE4™ account profile and send you the withdrawn funds to the method you originally chose in the cashier. In order to prevent fraudulent activity, this is conditioned upon sending us certain documents.

Visa card refund not showing on card statement

My withdrawal is shown as a refund to my Visa account- why has it not appeared yet on my credit card/bank account?

Whenever we refund a Visa card, we transfer it immediately. However, Visa usually credits the card on the same date you get all charges (usually on either the 2nd or the 10th of each month).
Therefore, you will not see it immediately in your bank account, but can verify receipt of acquitted funds with your local Visa representatives.
When issuing your Visa charges from your bank account, Visa sometimes deducts the refunds from the total monthly charge sum, so one may mistakenly assume they were not refunded.

Refunding MasterCard/Diners Club cards

I deposited with a MasterCard/Diners Club card - will I be able to receive my withdrawal as a refund to my credit card account?

Due to global credit card limitations, PlayE4™ can only refund Visa cards for European card holders. Therefore, we cannot refund MasterCard - nor can we refund Diners.

What are NETeller, MoneyBookers and PayPal?

I see that I can pay and receive money via NETeller, MoneyBookers and PayPal. What does it mean?

NETeller, MoneyBookers and PayPal are all eWallets. These are services, which provide an extra protection layer for using one's credit card online. They are completely secure and very popular amongst our customers. As soon as you have registered for an account with them, all the information you will ever have to give us is an e-mail address and/or account number, according to the requirements of the eWallet of your choice.

Bonus availability limitations at PlayE4™

I have just opened a new account on the family computer and my father is already playing at PlayE4™ for real money. Can I get the €2 sign-up bonus as well?

In order to prevent bonus abuse, our €2 sign-up bonus can be received only once per person, computer or household.

I have brought my friend to register for an account using my computer. Can we get the promised bonuses?

Unfortunately, the answer is no. If you want to refer your friend to play with us, he or she must register (following all the procedures described here) using his or her own computer, in order for you both to enjoy our Tell-A-Friend bonus privileges.

My friend has just received a great bonus offer from you. Does it mean I can get it as well?

All our promotional bonus offers are individual and non-transferable. Therefore, please be patient and you will soon receive your own exciting offer to your e-mail!!

I am a regular player on PlayE4™ and I receive attractive bonus offers from the customer service, is it possible for me to receive as many bonus offers as I want?

Unfortunately, no. Even though our main priority is to provide our players with as many high quality bonuses as possible, PlayE4™ does not give more than three active bonuses at a given time.
Therefore, if you have already accumulated three bonuses you will not be entitled to another bonus.
