Very interesting stuff!
I would think the prevailing view a few years back would have been 48-72 so the impact of operators like 3Dice, Sloto and 32Red is pretty clear IMO.
In regards to first cashouts, an extra 24 hours is understandable....however once I send my docs in they should be reviewed and OK'ed within that extra time.
Regular/indentified players should be paid within 24 hours IMO, allowing a stretch to 48 for weekends (however if a casino will take bets all weekend then they should pay out as well but thats another story....). I know its not a 100% identical situation, but imagine going to a B&M on Saturday and being asked to pop back in Monday to cash in your chips etc.
In my experience, the only reason a casino wont pay you within 24/48 hours is that they dont WANT to. Credit card fraud excuse is a load of BS as you can dispute a transaction within 180 days with most cards and the operators dont actually get the funds until after that time in many cases. If you deposit via Neteller etc the operator has the funds instantly and you cant reverse it so there is even less of a reason for delay.
I had a chat with a rep last week encouraging them to reduce their payouts to a 24/48 period as I waited 6 days to be paid via Neteller (and ONLY after contacting the rep here) from a Rival casino (one that is awaiting accreditation incidentally). I wont reveal the content of the chat as it was via PM, however it is this experience that led me to post this poll and see what the general feeling was in regards to timely payouts and how this might be applied in regards to accredited casinos. IMO 5 business days doesnt cut the mustard and operators who insist on these timeframes shouldnt be put in the same class as 32Red and others of their ilk.
Keep the feedback coming folks!
P.S
As I see it is is far more important we are playing at the right places than worrying about the time of cashouts. It's easy for us to ignore the things these guys have to do.
Yes it is very important to play at the right places, but if your idea of a 'right place' means you dont care when you get paid as long as you do, then you would saying Crystal Palace and Virtual are the 'right places' to play...they will usually pay you when a bonus isnt involved, but you might be waiting 3 months....and that it part of the reason they are rogue. Im sure that isnt what you're saying, but based on your criteria then most of the rogues would be OK.
As far as ignoring what these guys have to do, consider this: Casino A pays within 2 hours, Casino B pays in 7 days.....now what can you say that Casino B has to do that Casino A doesnt? Is it that Casino A doesnt care about their own security or the viability of their business so they just send out money willy-nilly? Is it that Casino B has a historical experience of high amount of fraud and needs to make you wait for a week while they send a rep to your house to make sure its you (after taking 37 deposits and paying out 3 times to you already?). As I said, fair enough on the first cashout and the Know Your Customer, but ALL casinos have similar issues when it comes to fraud prevention and payouts. If Casino A can do it in 2 hours for a known customer, then so can Casino B. Why doesnt Casino B do it? Simple. They dont want to, either because their accounts department takes their time or they are hoping you reverse it all and lose it - and neither of those situations are acceptable IMO.
The whole point Im making is that if a casino really values your custom they will pay you within 48 hours, and this is being backed up by the poll results above.
I respect your opinion completely and if you can live with those delays then thats cool, its nothing personal.
