How We Time

Every casino in the ranking went through the same six steps in the same order, and every one was timed twice — once on a weekday morning, once over a weekend.

There are no scores on this site. A number out of ten would hide the only thing that actually varies between these operators, which is how long a human takes to approve a withdrawal.

The order of the ranking itself is the commercial lineup order, stated plainly rather than buried. What is independent is the measurement: the clock starts when the request is submitted, not when the operator approves it, and it stops when the money is spendable.

The Six Steps

  1. Fund the account and verify the same day

    A real deposit, then identity documents uploaded immediately rather than at the first cashout. This is the single change that most reliably shortens a first withdrawal, and doing it up front also isolates the cashier's own speed from the verification queue.

  2. Request a weekday withdrawal at 9am

    Tuesday or Wednesday morning, when the review desk is fully staffed. This is the number every operator quotes and the best case you will ever see.

  3. Request a second one on a Saturday

    Same account, same amount, same rail. Manual review desks thin out at weekends and the gap between the two requests is the honest measure of a cashier. On several sites here it more than doubled.

  4. Record the rail, not just the total

    Which route the money actually took — Bitcoin, Litecoin, bank wire, cheque. Operators list rails they support rather than rails they use, and the two differ.

  5. Log where the delay sat

    Pending, processing, or sent. A withdrawal stuck in pending is a review queue; one stuck in processing is the rail. Naming which one it was is more useful than the total hours.

  6. Read the withdrawal terms on the day

    Minimum and maximum per request, the monthly cap, any fee, and whether a bonus is still active. An unfinished bonus locks a balance at most of these sites and is the most common reason a cashout does not appear at all.
