INSTADEBIT discontinued its deposit service: the official notice gives 27 February 2026 as the last day to deposit.

Product details and operating conditions
Primary-source review: 5 October 2026. This is documentary research, not live payment testing. Provider claims are identified separately from documented terms.
Residual balances
Published termsThe closure notice describes automatic return to the linked bank after 28 days of inactivity. That is a shutdown procedure, not a normal live player-payout SLA.
Migration
Research limitationThe notice names Interac as an alternative. This does not establish automatic migration of merchant integrations, balances or contracts; a replacement PSP must be separately selected and onboarded.
Research limits and open questions
- Legacy technical or pricing pages must not be treated as current commercial offers.
Research sources
Primary evidence for the industry use case or acceptance policy. Regional tags are evaluation coverage, not blanket gambling approval.

Our score and how it is built
Seven weighted factors produce 2.5. The heaviest is derived from the stance above, not scored by hand.
Regulatory assessment · 21 October 2026
5.0/10: a current authorisation for the contracting entity was not independently confirmed in the published evidence. The criterion is capped at 5.5 under the unverified-authorisation rubric. This is an evidence limitation, not a finding that the company is unlicensed or unlawful. For schemes and technical platforms, check the actual regulated PSP or acquirer rather than assuming the platform holds its authorisation.
