Novobanco was created in 2014 during the resolution of Banco Esp&#237;rito Santo (BES), one of Portugal&#8217;s oldest and largest banks. When BES collapsed, the Bank of Portugal split it: the good assets and liabilities were transferred to Novobanco as a new bridge bank, while the troubled assets remained in BES. Novobanco subsequently went through restructuring and a privatisation process, and today operates as a mainstream Portuguese retail and commercial bank. For everyday banking purposes, Novobanco customers have a full-service account with access to online banking, a debit card, credit card options, and integration with the national Multibanco payment network. MB Way is available through the Novobanco mobile app and gives access to Portugal&#8217;s instant payment system.  How Novobanco Customers Deposit at Online Casinos Three routes are available, and most Portuguese casinos support at least one of them.  MB Way MB Way is Portugal&#8217;s mobile payment system linked directly to bank accounts. You activate it in the Novobanco app using your debit card. At the casino, select MB Way, enter your mobile number, and approve the payment in the app. It&#8217;s instant and the most seamless route for most Portuguese players.  Multibanco Reference Multibanco is Portugal&#8217;s ATM and payment network. Some casinos generate a Multibanco entity and reference number for you to pay via any Multibanco terminal, ATM, or through your Novobanco online banking. A small service fee may apply. Funds usually credit within minutes.  Novobanco Card Novobanco issues Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards. These work at any casino accepting those card networks. Card deposits are instant. Withdrawal back to a card depends on the casino and the card issuer&#8217;s rules.   Step-by-Step: Depositing via MB Way Make sure MB Way is activated in your Novobanco app. You link it to your account debit card during setup. Log in to your casino account and go to the Cashier or Deposit section. Select MB Way as the deposit method. Enter your Portuguese mobile number registered with MB Way and the amount you want to deposit. Open the Novobanco app. You&#8217;ll receive an MB Way payment notification. Review and approve it. The deposit credits to your casino account immediately.  Withdrawals MB Way supports withdrawals at casinos that offer it as a payout method. You request the withdrawal, enter your MB Way mobile number, and the funds arrive in your linked Novobanco account, usually within minutes once the casino has processed the request. Casino processing times vary, but same-day is common at well-run operators. Withdrawals to a Novobanco card are also possible but may take longer, typically 1 to 5 business days depending on the casino and card network. Multibanco references are deposit-only; you can&#8217;t receive a withdrawal that way. Online Gambling in Portugal Portugal has a regulated online gambling market supervised by SRIJ (Servi&#231;o de Regula&#231;&#227;o e Inspe&#231;&#227;o de Jogos), part of the Tourism of Portugal agency. Licensed online casinos are permitted to operate and accept Portuguese players. You can check whether a casino holds a valid SRIJ licence through the official SRIJ website. Gambling winnings in Portugal are subject to withholding tax at licensed domestic casinos. This is handled by the operator, not the player directly. Casinos operating under offshore licences without SRIJ authorisation technically operate outside the Portuguese regulatory framework, though they may still be accessible.  Pros and Cons  Advantages Multiple payment routes from one bank account MB Way deposits and withdrawals are instant Portugal has a regulated gambling market, so no banking blocks Full deposit and withdrawal support No extra account needed beyond your Novobanco banking  Disadvantages Casino acceptance specifically for Novobanco is limited Multibanco references are deposit-only Card withdrawals can take several business days SRIJ-licensed casino selection is smaller than offshore market   Alternatives  Method Notes   MB Way Portugal&#8217;s instant mobile payment system. Works from any Portuguese bank account, not just Novobanco. The most widely accepted Portuguese payment method at online casinos.  Multibanco Pay using a reference number at any Multibanco terminal or via online banking. Deposit-only at casinos. Available to all Portuguese bank account holders.  Skrill E-wallet accepted at a large number of online casinos. Fund via Novobanco card or transfer. Useful if your preferred casino doesn&#8217;t accept Portuguese bank methods directly.  Neteller Another e-wallet with wide acceptance at European online casinos. Supports deposits and withdrawals.   Frequently Asked Questions Can I use my Novobanco account to deposit at online casinos?  Yes. Novobanco customers can use MB Way, Multibanco references, or their Novobanco card to deposit at online casinos. MB Way is the most widely accepted of the three at Portuguese-facing casino sites. Portugal has a regulated gambling market, so there are no systemic blocks on gambling payments from Portuguese banks.   How long do Novobanco casino withdrawals take?  MB Way withdrawals are typically instant or within minutes once the casino processes the payment. Card withdrawals take longer, usually 1 to 5 business days. The casino&#8217;s own processing time is the main variable: some operators handle withdrawals the same day, others take longer.   Does Novobanco block gambling transactions?  Generally no. Portugal has a regulated online gambling market and Portuguese banks do not routinely block gambling transactions at licensed casinos. This is different from the situation in countries like Malaysia or Pakistan where banks actively block such payments.   What is Novobanco&#8217;s relationship to Banco Esp&#237;rito Santo?  Novobanco was created in 2014 when BES collapsed and the Bank of Portugal stepped in. The good assets and customer accounts were transferred to Novobanco as a new bank. BES ceased to exist as a going concern. Novobanco subsequently underwent restructuring and is now majority-owned by US private equity firm Lone Star Funds, with the Portuguese Resolution Fund retaining a stake.   Summary Novobanco customers have solid options for casino banking. MB Way is the standout choice: it&#8217;s instant, widely accepted at Portuguese online casinos, and handles both deposits and withdrawals. Multibanco works for deposits if your casino offers reference payments. And your Novobanco card covers you at the majority of casinos that accept Visa or Mastercard. Portugal&#8217;s regulated gambling market makes this a relatively uncomplicated situation compared to some other jurisdictions. Licensed casinos under SRIJ can accept Portuguese bank payments without the blocking issues that affect players in countries where online gambling is prohibited.","og_url":"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/uk\/\u0431\u0430\u043d\u043a\u0456\u0432\u0441\u044c\u043a\u0430-\u0441\u043f\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0430\/novobanco\/","og_site_name":"BlackjackInfo.com","schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"CollectionPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/banking\/novobanco\/","url":"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/banking\/novobanco\/","name":"Best Novobanco Casinos in [\u0422\u0440\u0430\u0432\u0435\u043d\u044c 2026 ]","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/#website"},"breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/banking\/novobanco\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"uk"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/banking\/novobanco\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Novobanco"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/","name":"BlackjackInfo.com","description":"\u0422\u043e\u043c\u0443 \u0449\u043e \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u043c\u0430\u0433\u0430\u0442\u0438 \u0432\u0435\u0441\u0435\u043b\u0456\u0448\u0435!","potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"uk"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/banking\/3058","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/banking"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/banking"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.blackjackinfo.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/casino?banking=3058"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
