To speed up withdrawal times, there are two main factors to consider. The first is the online casino. The quicker the casino processes withdrawals, the faster the payment method can process the withdrawal. We analyzed seven online casinos, looking at the times they disclose, and ranked them based on their information.

We have included screenshots to provide you with the evidence.
According to MrQ, they will process your withdrawal in under one minute. If they do not, MrQ will credit your account with £10.
In MrQ’s case, if the funds are being transferred to you via a quick bank transfer, MrQ states that you should receive the funds within 10-20 minutes. The minimum withdrawal is £10.
Watch out: It is important to note the guarantee only covers MrQ, and does not include the time it takes your bank to process the transfer.
Grosvenor states that if you utilize their Fast Withdrawal method, the funds will be transferred to your account within 15 minutes.
If you utilize a different method, you may be waiting up to three business days for the funds to be transferred. The minimum withdrawal is £5, and Grosvenor will not charge you a fee for the withdrawal.
Watch out: Be cautious: until the first ID verification checks are completed, no transactions will be processed. Make sure that you verify the ID before completing the game to win.
kwiff returns winnings immediately by crediting your UK debit card within 30 minutes. It uses the card network's (Visa and Mastercard's) real-time services, and Revolut and Apple Pay also benefit from this real-time service.
Should there be additional verification checks, kwiff aims to complete them within 24 hours. The minimum amount for such a withdrawal is £10.
Watch out: Be cautious: should your casino stakes reach €2,000, additional verification checks will be initiated.
Within the 6 hour limit, withdrawals are processed by BoyleSports. Additionally, if the card supports either Mastercard or Visa Fast Funds, the cash will be loaded to the account within 4 hours.
Other cards will take 2-5 business days. Be cautious and allow BoyleSports 5 business days before asking for the status of your withdrawal. The minimum withdrawal is £10. You can also choose to be paid in cash at a BoyleSports location.
Watch out: Be cautious: additional verification checks will extend the processing time for your withdrawal.
LiveScore states that within 24 hours they will process your withdrawal. Depending on the method, here are estimated processing times. Funds are instant via PayPal and Apple Pay. Card transfers will take 1-3 business days and transfers via bank transfers will take 2-3 business days.
Withdrawals from £5 to £20,000 are processed for free.
Watch out: Be aware that requested withdrawals are non-reversible, and your account will not be credited if there are pending bonus wagering requirements or verification checks.
According to Casumo, withdrawals are processed by the team within a matter of hours. According to their terms, a decision regarding a withdrawal request is mandatory within 3 business days.
They do not provide expected withdrawal processing times for the different options, and a fee is charged for requests less than £10.
Watch out: Large payout requests (over €1,000 or €2,000 cumulatively) are processed with additional due diligence.
No process time is disclosed. Once approved, the time to receive the withdrawal is 1 to 3 business days, regardless of the method used.
The minimum withdrawal is £10 and bank transfers (up to £35,000) are processing free of charge.
Watch out: Potentially "holding" your withdrawal request due to pending verification or wagering requirements.
If you win, your money is returned to you via the method used to deposit.
Even the fastest casinos can take a while to process withdrawals. Traditional Debit cards can take a few days to reflect transfers from an online casino. Some of the fastest casinos will still put a hold on your withdrawal for 72 hours. The rankings account for both of these factors. Additional points are subtracted for high withdrawal minimums.
What is considered a typical wait time for a casino to process a withdrawal.
| Method | Typical arrival | Where it is published |
|---|---|---|
| Instant bank transfer | 10 to 20 minutes | MrQ; Grosvenor pays most bank withdrawals within 15 minutes |
| PayPal | Minutes | LiveScore ("almost instant"); Grosvenor (within 15 minutes) |
| Apple Pay | Minutes | LiveScore ("almost instant"); kwiff (within 30 minutes) |
| Fast-payout debit card | 30 minutes to 4 hours | kwiff (Visa Direct, Mastercard Send); BoyleSports (Fast Funds) |
| Standard debit card | 1 to 5 working days | LiveScore, Grosvenor and BoyleSports |
| Standard bank transfer | 2 to 5 working days | LiveScore |
There are casinos that will work with PayPal or instant bank transfers. These will usually be the fastest options. Check to see if your casino charges a fee for small withdrawals. You can find this info in our Casino Withdrawal Fees guide.
Here are things you will see in a casino’s terms and conditions.
There are casinos that will not pay you out until a verification process is completed. Many of these verification processes can be completed when you first sign up. See our Verification Process guide.
Bank statements and payslips can be requested to verify a payment. Many casinos will put a hold on your payout until these documents are provided.
Once a wagering requirement is completed, funds can be withdrawn. If you have not completed the wagering requirement, you can still withdraw your original deposit.
Generally speaking, money must go back to the method you used for the deposit. If you made a deposit using a standard (or ‘ordinary’) debit card, for example, you may not be able to use a faster method for a withdrawal.
Some banks and card issuers also do not process transactions on weekends and bank holidays. As a result, LiveScore payouts may be delayed on weekends and bank holidays.
If your withdrawal is delayed and you don’t know the reason, check out our article about what to do if a casino refuses to pay out for more information.
Currently, there are no laws that state a minimum or maximum time period within which a casino must process a withdrawal.
No unreasonable delay. In such situations, the casino must allow you to withdraw your funds when you want to do so. The Commission states that there must not be an unreasonable delay to process a withdrawal. There may be certain situations where the casino may need to delay a withdrawal to perform certain checks (e.g. checks related to Anti Money Laundering), however, the casino cannot delay a withdrawal for no reason.
No forced instalments. A casino cannot require a customer to take a withdrawal in several smaller transactions, if the customer wants to take a larger withdrawal. The casino may set certain limits on smaller withdrawals.
No reversing into play. Once you have requested a withdrawal, the casino cannot permit you to wager that money. Previously, some casinos allowed customers to “reverse” a withdrawal, but this practice is not allowed and therefore, cannot be offered to customers.
IDs should not be a surprise. A casino should verify a player’s identity before allowing that player to make any kind of financial transaction at the casino, including, but not limited to, a cash withdrawal. There are instances where a player may have to give his/her ID to the casino for verification purposes after the player has made a cash withdrawal (e.g. the player fails to provide his/her ID when making a cash withdrawal). For situations where a player has to give his/her ID to the casino after a cash withdrawal, we have a separate article that explains what a player should do if his/her casino of choice does not want to process his/her cash withdrawal.
Quick cashouts are not as important as the protection of a player’s casino balance and a casino’s behavior. Our ranking of safe online casinos incorporates both of these factors in its final score.
For this article, we reviewed 10 casinos and 3 of them (BetVictor, Duelz, and Midnite) published payout times too slow for this page.
All three casinos that we reviewed and mentioned above are legitimate and trustworthy casinos; however, they are not the best option for a player who is looking for a quick cashout casino.
Five steps, in order.
As soon as your account is created, you should send your ID and a recent utility bill to the casino via the casino’s secure upload site.
You should use PayPal or a different E-Wallet for the deposit. These deposit methods can be used for cashouts, and have the shortest pending times.
You should cancel the bonus if you want to withdrawal your deposit.
Minimums run from £5 to £10 among these seven, and Casumo charges £3 below £10.
You should be aware of your casino balance. If your casino of choice takes too long to process your withdrawal, you have sufficient information to chase the cashout.
MrQ has an interesting proposition. They guarantee to process withdrawal requests in 60 seconds and pay their players £10 if they do not. Additionally, they say that they provide instant bank transfers. Bank transfers then take 10-20 minutes. Withdrawals at Grosvenor are processed within 15 minutes.
MrQ is able to process withdrawals in 60 seconds, and Grosvenor says that the great majority of withdrawals are processed instantly. However, the method used to make the payment determines the withdrawal time. Withdrawals can take anywhere from a couple of minutes (with PayPal for example) to a few days (with a Visa for instance).
If you are using PayPal or an instant bank transfer, the funds should reach you within minutes from the time the casino processed your request. If you are using a fast-payout debit card, it should take 30 minutes to 4 hours.
There are several reasons why a casino may not be able to process your withdrawal request in a timely manner. These reasons may include checks on the source of your funds or your ID, incomplete requirement for a bonus, or the payment method you have used to make your deposit.
Withdrawals are usually free. Casumo charges £3 for withdrawals less than £10.
No fixed deadline. The Gambling Commission says you should be able to withdraw without unreasonable delay, and a casino can only hold money for checks it genuinely needs, such as those required by money laundering law.
You should be paid out with the method you have used to make your deposit. However, in the UK, many casinos pay out using the method used to make the deposit first, if both are available.
