Payment methods

Which payment methods the casinos in the catalogue name on their own sites. Speeds and fees differ from casino to casino, so they are shown on each casino's card, where the brand publishes them.

Deposits and withdrawals are not mirror images

A payments page can look like a single grid of logos. It is really two lists. A deposit is a payment you authorise: money is pushed from your card, account or wallet to the operator, and the credit normally appears as soon as the payment clears. A withdrawal runs the other way. The operator has to decide to release the money, satisfy itself that the person asking owns the account, and only then hand the payment to a network that keeps its own schedule.

That asymmetry explains most of what looks arbitrary in payment terms. The same logo can be instant in one column and slow, capped or absent in the other. A method may be open for deposits and closed for payouts.

A method appears on a casino card here because the casino names it on its own pages. The cards do not separate deposit methods from withdrawal methods; the casino's cashier page does. Cards are under /casinos/.

Three clocks behind one payout

A withdrawal passes through three stages, each with its own timing and each controlled by a different party. That is why two operators can describe the same rail in terms that do not line up: one publishes the whole journey, the other a single stage.

StageControlled byDepends on
Internal processing (pending)The operatorQueue, manual approval, weekends, whether the request can still be cancelled
VerificationCompliance rules, and youDocuments on file, legibility of copies, questions about source of funds
TransferPayment provider and banks in the chainRail type, cut-off times, correspondents, network confirmations

Verification is usually once per account, but it can reopen: an unusually large payout, a changed name, a newly added instrument. Only the third stage is the speed people attribute to the method itself.

What the method changes on the way out

The differences between methods show up on the way out. A deposit is the same authorised push whatever the logo on it; a withdrawal is where each rail behaves in its own way. What follows describes how those rails move money, not any measurement made here.

MethodOn withdrawal
CardsSent back as a credit to the card, settled on the issuer's timetable. Some cards cannot receive incoming payments, so a fallback rail is named.
Bank transferWidely accepted, often that fallback. Slow as a rule: banking days, cut-off times, cross-border intermediaries that may deduct a charge.
E-walletsFast at the operator-to-wallet step, but the money then sits in the wallet. Moving it onward to a bank account is a second transfer, timed and priced separately.
Local instant payment servicesDomestic account-to-account schemes that clear around the clock. Availability follows the country and currency of the account; the receiving detail is a phone number or national identifier.
CryptocurrencySettlement belongs to the network, so the operator's hold is the main delay. The amount received depends on the network fee and, for a fiat balance, on the conversion rate.

Terms used above are collected in /glossary/.

Reverse withdrawal

While a request sits in the pending stage, some operators let you cancel it and return the money to the playable balance. That is a reverse withdrawal, described in some terms as a pending or reversible period.

It is the one stage where money can move back into the balance instead of out to the account holder. A sum requested but not yet sent is still on the account and can be staked again, so the length of the pending window sets how long that stays possible. Cancelling also restarts the clock: a re-submitted request is a new request and re-enters the queue behind those already in it.

Operators differ. Some lock a request on submission, some allow cancellation until processing begins, some offer a setting that disables reversals. The operator's terms page is where this is stated.

Fees and currency conversion

Three charges can appear on one payout and only the first belongs to the casino: an operator fee, sometimes waived for a set number of withdrawals per period or for certain tiers; a provider or network fee; and, on a cross-border transfer, an intermediary charge deducted in transit, which is why the sum that arrives can be smaller than the sum confirmed.

Conversion is the quieter cost. If the account currency differs from the currency of the instrument, a rate is applied — and if the deposit was converted on the way in, the round trip is converted twice: the spread is paid once on the way in and once on the way out, even though the balance itself never changed. The rate applied is the operator's or the payment provider's, and it need not match the mid-market rate. This site does not record conversion rates.

Limits per transaction and per period

Limits come in two shapes. A per-transaction limit sets the smallest and largest single request; a per-period limit caps the total across a day, week or month. A large win can therefore be paid in instalments while the balance shows in full.

Minimums are the mismatch met first: the smallest allowed withdrawal and the smallest allowed deposit are set separately, and where the withdrawal minimum is the higher of the two, a small balance can be stranded. Period caps can vary by account tier, and jackpot wins can be carved out by a separate clause. Both are things a terms page either states or leaves open.

Withdrawing by the method you deposited with

Where terms address the destination of a payout, the rule they usually set out is that money returns to the source of the deposit, at least up to the amount deposited. This site does not record that rule per casino; the operator's terms do. The rule is not a preference. It comes from anti-money-laundering practice — an account must not become a channel for moving funds between unrelated instruments — and from card scheme rules that treat a payout to the funding card as a return rather than a fresh payment.

The result is a closed loop: deposits go back to their sources, and anything above that total leaves by the method the operator nominates, often a bank transfer. It complicates when the funding method cannot receive money — a voucher, a prepaid card, a one-way local service — or when several instruments funded one balance.

Reading a payments page

The questions below are the ones an operator's pages either answer or leave open. Both outcomes are informative.
