In, out and how long

Payments and payouts

Methods, limits, how long a withdrawal really takes and why one gets refused.

Payments is the part of the account where the wording of a clause turns into a number of days. A deposit is instant because the operator carries the risk of it; a withdrawal is slow because somebody has to look at it. Between those two facts sit the pending period, the identity check that the first payout triggers, the rule that money leaves the way it came in, and the cap that can pay a large win in instalments.

Nothing in this section is advice on which method to choose, because that depends on the market you are in and the account you already hold. It is a reading of what each method commits you to: how long it holds the money, what it shows the casino about you, what it costs when a currency has to be converted, and which refusals are a policy rather than a fault.

Payments and payouts — the words, plainly

Pending
The casino has your request but has not released the money. Everything that happens here is the casino's clock, not the bank's.
Processing time
How long the operator itself needs before handing the payment on. It varies from one casino to another.
Reverse withdrawal
An option to cancel your own pending payout and put the money back in play. The most expensive button on the page.
Closed loop
A rule that money must return by the same rail it arrived on. It decides whether a voucher deposit can ever be cashed out to the same voucher.
Cap
A ceiling on how much can leave per request or per period. It is written in the terms, not shown at the cashier.
