Top Tips for Instant Withdrawals — Factors that Might Delay Yout Payout
One of the few drawbacks to playing at online casinos over land-based establishments is that withdrawal processing takes a little longer. There are a few factors and things you can do that impact how quickly you’ll be able to access your winnings once you’ve made a withdrawal request, as detailed below.
- Casino Processing Times — Once you have made a withdrawal request, your casino will then need to review, process and approve the transaction. Each operator is different in this regard, with some promising a 24-hour turnaround and others requiring several days to get things sorted. Fast withdrawals are becoming increasingly common, with sites coming under pressure from the competition to deliver player winnings as quickly as possible.
- Your Chosen Payment Method — Different payment methods have varying payout speeds. Traditional payment methods tend to be slower, with wire transfers and card payments generally taking 3-5 days or more. e-Wallets, alternatively, tend to be faster, typically ranging from instantaneous to 48 hours.
- KYC Checks — As part of your fast withdrawal casino registration, the site will need to complete KYC checks, which may involve the submission of ID and financial information. You can choose from a list of documents, such as passport or driving licence, plus something proving your address like a recent bank statement or utility bill. Sometimes there is a requirement to make secondary checks at the point of withdrawal which can cause a slight delay to your instant payments. For instant payouts, make sure you’ve completed all the necessary KYC checks before requesting your withdrawal.
- Withdrawal Limits — Operators generally place limits on how much a player can withdraw over a specified timeframe, whether that be days, weeks, or months. You may, for example, have a withdrawal limit of €5,000 per day. As a result, your withdrawals may be staggered to accommodate these limits. Sites occasionally raise or waive these limits for VIP members or jackpot winners, although this is dependent on the operator in question and their terms and conditions.
- Jackpots — Some operators have longer processing periods for jackpot winnings to ensure the funds have been claimed legitimately, although this again varies between different sites. Be sure to check the terms and conditions of your operator of choice to make sure you’re aware of their specific way of doing things.
- Time of Withdrawal — The time you request your withdrawal is another factor that can impact how long your winnings take to reach you. Not every casino has a team working around the clock, so you might find, for example, that instant payouts are only available during certain times of the day. Similarly, most fast withdrawal sites won’t process withdrawal requests at weekends and bank holidays, meaning the clock won’t start ticking on promised payout times immediately.
