Payout-Speed Reference
Getting paid is the metric we foreground. This table ranks our reviewed operators on their Payout/Withdrawal sub-score, with the documented speed evidence and KYC posture behind it.
Payout-speed reference
| Casino | Payout sub-score | Documented speed | KYC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stake | 8.5 | Crypto near-instant (operator-stated; player-reported) | Tiered (documents on larger/flagged withdrawals) |
| BitStarz | 8.0 | Crypto near-instant once approved (player-reported) | Standard (documents may be requested; 14-day deadline) |
| 7Bit | 6.5 | Crypto fast, but 24h+ delays reported despite "instant" claims | Standard (documents on withdrawal; friction reported) |
| Cloudbet | 6.5 | Most crypto instant; holds possible during review | Level 1 (phone) to Level 2 (full ID); L1 capped ~$2,200/day |
| BC.Game | 4.0 | Variable; freeze/reset pattern reported on big wins | Frequently triggered after larger wins (freeze pattern reported) |
Payout speed is the operator’s stated policy and/or aggregated, player-reported evidence — not a time we recorded in a real-money test. Real withdrawal time also depends on the operator’s internal approval and KYC checks, not just the blockchain. We never publish a payout time we didn’t record. 18+ · Gamble responsibly.

What actually governs payout speed
“Instant” crypto withdrawals rarely depend on the blockchain. In practice, four things decide how fast you are paid:
- Internal approval — many operators hold withdrawals for manual review. This queue, not the network, is usually the real bottleneck.
- KYC status — an unverified account is the most common reason a “fast” casino suddenly is not. Complete verification before you deposit, not at cash-out.
- Limits and pending time — daily or weekly caps and a “pending” reversal window can stretch a single payout across days.
- On-chain confirmation — the genuinely fast part: minutes on most chains once the operator actually releases the funds.
How we evidence payout speed
We do not publish a withdrawal time we did not record. The figures here are the operator’s stated policy and/or aggregated, player-reported evidence with a source and date — clearly labelled as research-based, not a field test. Real speed also depends on internal approval and KYC, not just the blockchain. See our methodology.
