Apple Pay betting sites accept this exciting and popular new payment method, however, for those who don’t fancy taking the plunge just yet, there are still plenty of other options available.
Apple Pay vs Skrill
When it comes to making digital payments, both Apple and Skill are trusted names. They both allow users to make payments for goods and services quickly and safely, however, there are still a number of discernable differences. For starters, Skrill is online only whereas Apple Pay can also be used in shops and restaurants. The biggest discrepancy is that Apple Pay can only be used in conjunction with Apple devices whereas the Skrill app can be downloaded onto any digital device.
This is acceptable in the UK where Apple products are fairly commonplace, hAowever, in other regions, this isn’t the case.
Whereas Apple Pay requires a Touch ID to confirm a payment, Skrill tends to rely on a two-factor authentication in order to make a transaction.
Skrill accepts payments made in cryptocurrency and also enables peer-to-peer transactions whereas Apple Pay purely acts as a digital wallet. Although Skrill is quick, Apple Pay is the speediest way of completing transactions and crucially, depositing into your betting account.

Apple Pay vs PayPal
Both of these are popular deposit methods and are accepted by the majority of UK betting sites with Apple Pay.
PayPal has been around since 1998 and is one of the most universally recognised online payment platforms. Similar to Skill, it offers the possibility for peer-to-peer transactions and also accepts Cryptocurrency payments. Apple Pay is used exclusively for making online payments for goods and services.
With Apple Pay, you have a digital wallet and you can add an unlimited number of cards, whereas PayPal have several levels of account including personal and business.
There are no fees involved and that is one of the main reasons for its popularity with both punters and betting sites which accept Apple Pay. Some PayPal transactions do involve small fees, especially if you have a business account. Money is automatically converted into your chosen currency with PayPal. This is a relatively new feature.

Apple Pay and Google Pay are very similar and are both accepted by a large number of UK online bookmakers. Apple Pay is a little easier to use and transactions are slightly quicker than Google Pay. Apple Pay does not track your transactions whereas Google Pay stores your details on its database.
Google Pay requires a PIN log-in and can be used on both Android and iOS devices whereas Apple Pay is exclusively available on Apple devices.
