Last tested April 2026 · 13 casinos · Compiled by the newcasino.ai review desk

We get asked the same question every week: “which casino actually pays out fastest?” The marketing copy on casino landing pages is useless for answering that — everyone claims “instant withdrawals.” So we started keeping notes every time one of our reviewers did a test withdrawal. This database is the result.

What follows are the median times we observed across roughly 120 test cashouts over the last 14 months. For each casino we pulled at least four withdrawals per payment method (where supported), mostly in the $150–$800 range, with KYC already completed. Your mileage will vary — some nights our e-wallet payouts from Stake hit the receiving account in under four minutes, and once we had one sit for 90 minutes during a weekend rush.

Why we built this: Payout speed is the number one differentiator players care about after first-deposit bonuses. If you are choosing between two otherwise-identical casinos, you want the one that pays in hours, not five business days. We’re publishing the raw data so affiliates, review sites and players can see roughly what each brand actually delivers, not just what they promise.

The data

Average
Slow or conditional
Hellspin Crypto 4–12 hours 2–4 days 4–6 days 15–30 min Medium
LeoVegas E-wallet Instant–2 hours Under 24h 1–3 days Not supported Low — well-resourced KYC team
Rizk E-wallet 2–8 hours 1–3 days 2–4 days Not supported Low
Dunder E-wallet 3–12 hours 2–4 days 3–5 days Not supported Medium — occasional manual review on first cashout
888 Casino E-wallet Under 24 hours 2–5 days 3–6 days Not supported Medium — 48-hour pending period on first cashout
bwin E-wallet / card Under 24 hours 2–5 days 3–7 days Not supported Medium
Disclaimer: Times reflect our testing as of April 2026 and may vary with your bank, region, time of day, cashout amount and casino-side risk flags. Weekends and holidays consistently add 12–36 hours on non-crypto rails. This database is informational, not a guarantee.

What the data actually tells us

Three patterns show up every time we refresh the sheet.

Crypto-first brands win on raw speed, but only if you actually hold crypto. Stake and MyStake are the two fastest across the board — we’ve had Stake payouts confirm in literally four minutes. But they require you to deposit in crypto, which introduces a whole other set of friction if you’re not already set up with a wallet. If you are, nothing else comes close.

European traditional operators are remarkably consistent. Betsson and LeoVegas don’t top the table in any single column, but they don’t have outliers either. Their bank-transfer speed beats most competitors precisely because they front-load KYC at signup. You’ll never have a $5,000 withdrawal stuck while a compliance team emails you asking for a utility bill — they already have it.

The slowest casinos aren’t slow because of the payment rail — they’re slow because of the pending period. 888 and bwin both impose a 24- to 48-hour “pending” window where you can reverse the withdrawal. Nice feature for problem-gambling protection; terrible for anyone who just wants their money. We mark these amber even when the underlying rail is fast, because you can’t actually access the funds any quicker.

Methodology — how we measured

This isn’t lab-clean data. It’s what a working reviewer with a bank account and a spreadsheet can actually collect. Here’s the process for each casino:

  1. Account aged at least 14 days before the first test cashout, with KYC pre-completed. This is how most real players approach it.
  2. Minimum four test withdrawals per method, spread across weekdays and weekends, with at least one during a major promotional period where payout teams are known to be slammed.
  3. Amounts between $150 and $800 — small enough to avoid source-of-funds checks, large enough to not be auto-approved.
  4. We timestamp the moment “withdrawal processed” appears in the casino UI and the moment funds appear in the receiving account. The gap between those two is what we record.
  5. We throw out outliers only when the delay was clearly our bank’s fault (e.g. an internal hold on a $500 inbound wire). Casino-side delays always count.

For the “KYC delay risk” column we rely on a mix of our own failed/delayed cashouts plus complaint patterns we monitor on independent forums like AskGamblers and Casinomeister. A “low” rating means we’ve never had a KYC-related hold on that brand; “medium” means we’ve had at least one delay and regularly see player complaints about verification; “high” would mean pattern-level problems (none of the brands above meet that bar, which is why they’re in the database).

Who this is for

If you run an affiliate site or review blog and you want to cite payout speeds without making them up, you’re welcome to link to this table. The dataset will be updated every quarter as we re-test — if you spot a discrepancy from your own testing, email editor@newcasino.ai and we’ll reconcile in the next revision.
