Hi Gang

Considering that timely payouts are one of the requirements for CM accreditation, I would be interested to see what timeframe everyone would classify as 'timely'.

Im talking about the time it takes from when you hit 'withdraw' to when the casino releases the funds i.e. when a neteller cashout hits your account (instant) or when a bank wire is sent (not received) or a check is sent. Most casinos send an email when this happens so that will be the time it is released.

Happy Voting!
 
I voted for option 2 but I don't understand why all casinos can't be like 3dice. Instant to e-wallets and my last withdrawal to a credit card was also 'released' instantly.

I clicked 1-24 hours. Although i have not experienced a cash out yet as i've only been playing for a little over 4 weeks. I think that if a casino can take your money at the click of your fingers they should also be able to pay you with a click of the fingers.(this is based on e-wallets)this including verification. I don't see how some casino's take 5 days to verify u. the 2 main casino's i play at 32red and casino titan did it on the spot. Of course i could understand if it was to go back to a credit card or cheque that it takes a bit more resource and time.

my 2cents

cheers matt.
 
I should also mention 3dice paid me instantly without me having to send in docs. Slotocash was also pretty fast, about an hour after I asked them to 'flush' the funds.
 
For a first withdrawal I think we all understand many casinos will require ID verification, so that one could take a bit longer.

But as to the general question of how long they should take (once you've been verified), it should never be more than 24hrs IMO. Many casinos do it instantly or within a few hours to web-wallets and debit cards - so why can't everyone do it?

After giving correct documents ID etc then withdraws should be processed within 24 hours or less. 3Dice is instant to neteller - 32red same or next day Intertops usually next day or has been for me with the 3 withdraws I had from their to my eteller. This should be standard practice for all casinos. 3 4 or 5 days pending is bull and even worse if requested withdraw funds sit in your accout being reversable until they actually get sent. I never play a casino now where they either do not flush instantly on request - or take more than 24 (48 hours max) to process a withdraw. No need for it with quite a few decent outfits who pay quickly ad without problem.

That's really a very good question and i play also only in casinos, which can make my withdrawal within 24 hours and not more.

This is also the reason, why i'll never play on Paradise8 (Rival) because their first payout was very fast, but the 2nd one takes even 6 days and this is for me really totally unacceptable!

For Rival Casinos, Slotocash is the fastest one and they give me also great bonuses, because on Paradise 8 i have now only a 15% (JOKE) bonus with a 30x WR (deposit + bonus!!!!), but that's not all, because this rule is also ridiculous: "A maximum cashout of 30 times the bonus applies."

Since i'm a low roller, when i deposit $30, i'll get $34.50 and must turnover this 30 times and after that i can only cash out a maximum of $135 ???

Okay, let's go back to the topic please ;)

Well stated! But I think that throughout the past few months there is a general tendency among the casinos to speed up the payments. It seems to me that they are forced to act that way due to the huge amount of competitors on the gambling market. If most of the players continually keep depositing only into fast-paying casinos, then the slowpayers cant survive unless they change their ways.

My opinion...YES this shake those old walls. When casinos can get money within sceonds, then also the player. 3Dice and Bodog showed us that this is possible. Inet and others followed this - they saw the sign, and what this meant for future business.

I don`t know what chasflow the online casinos have, but this is money, and I think that this is a big load and it produces also "imputed interest" (sorry, I don`t know the exact english word for this)....so they profit from the player a second time..holding winnings back...for bla-bla reasons...BUT, this is a short view in my eyes. A fast payed player will tend more often to came back than the others.

My 2 cents.....
 
Timeliness is a big drawing card when selecting where to play, for me. 3Dice, Bodog and, for poker, Full Tilt, are the only instantaneous payout sites for me. As to other sites, I haven't cashed out from all of them, but it's typically a slower payout process. I don't totally buy the excuses why it needs to take 4 or 5 days, because often the excuse is credit card fraud, but I deposit via credit card only occasionally. In cases where I do not deposit via credit card, why can't they discriminate between funds sourced to credit cards and funds sourced from other means? They are able to discriminate between bonus and non-bonus players. Seems to me they have the resources to do so using other parameters.
 
I click on 24-48 only because that would be alot faster than what i have been paid, the fastest for me was club world, put in sunday night was there monday morning, inbet is also fast. I like playtech and swiss, casino las vegas and the rest take too long-6 to 14 days, then it has to go though instadebit which takes up to 5 days, but i still play there. I played at casino bellini last night on a freebie of 25.00, playthough 40x's,, way too high as i told the support person that called me, well i did it, did manage to cash out 75.00, so i will see that in about 10 or more days. The support person said they are trying to speed up that and make lower wage requirements, I hope so as i did like these casinos and never had a problem cashing out.
 
agree with Kasinoking

I think timely cash outs are very important and it would be a great thing if we could all see 1 to 24 hrs. But the big BUT is security I have seen many horror stories about funds getting stolen or fraud due to super fast pay outs. I think 24hr to 48hrs is the most realistic time frame. Just IMO
 
I picked 25-48 hours, but only to allow for a casino's payment department not working on Sundays.

I do consider payment on Monday acceptable for a weekend withdrawal, otherwise 24 hours.

But it is a consideration when it is the same software if a casino pays faster. Every time I withdraw there is some anxiety until I am actually paid. This slot spinning is supposed to be relaxation.

In addition to 3Dice, Inetbet, 32Red previously mentioned, Bet365 was very fast processing my one and only withdrawal.
 
My list of the most recent cashouts I've had over the past several weeks and also the past few months and my personal fastest paying casinos for me as a player are as follows:

3Dice (Pro) ~ Within 1 hour if not faster..:thumbsup:

INetBet (RTG) ~ Within 6 hours if not faster..:thumbsup:

Jackpot Capital (RTG) ~ Within 6 hours if not faster..:thumbsup:

Royal Vegas (MG) ~ Within 8 hours if not faster..:thumbsup:

Fortune Reel Casino (Rival) ~ Within 6 hours if not faster..:thumbsup: Latest payout was yesterday....yes, that was in fact on a Sunday!!

Ruby Royal (Rival) ~ Within 6 hours if not faster..:thumbsup:

DaVinci's Gold (Rival) ~ Within 6 hours if not faster..:thumbsup:

Pantasia Casino (Rival) ~ Within 8 hours if not faster..:thumbsup:

Lion Slots Casino (Rival) ~ Within 8 hours if not faster..:thumbsup:

Caribbean Gold Casino (Vegas Tech) ~ Within 48 hours :thumbsup:

* Disclaimer: These are the ones that I play on daily or at least a few times a week so I may or may not get VIP treatment at some regarding payout times, not sure though to tell you the truth. Payouts were to my favorite webwallet as well!

I picked 24 hr. max because that is how I get paid from the casinos I play at with the exception of Villento and Royal Joker, which as all know are MGs and pay with a 48 hr. holding time. Club World, Casino Titan and Slotocash all pay me with hrs. of withdrawal and that is why they get all my business.

Rikkerbuddy has it pretty much nailed. Fraud is the main reason for casinos not sending quick payouts, although some will do it quickly with cashout limits imposed, and some will do it faster for ID'ed / loyal players. I was told that bonus abuse and money laundering are the main two issues they have to watch for. Playtech and RTG software is the worst for reverse times, but a few of the casinos override the defaults and unsurprisingly these are the ones we hear good things about regularly.

But once a player is proven and loyal, then quick payouts should be considered IMO. The only casinos that stay on my hard drive are those that pay within 24 hours and flush or have a short reverse time. All the others get binned after the initial session or three.

There seem to be two schools of thought: One is that it's good to pay quick because the player will be impressed and stick around plus it's good PR (see post above!) while the other is that the longer a player's money is reversible the more likely they are to play it back. The first is a long-term view, the second a short-term view, both are risky, but #1 gets my money :)

I can put up with up to 24hr cashouts as long as the reverse time is only a couple of hours or less.
 
I picked the first option.
For me personally if I win I want to get paid as soon as possible.
Thats why I only choose casinos that pay within 24 hour. And I prefer quicker like all star slots, casino titan and sloto (inetbet)
 
I have a simple critera. A payout is good and a non payout is not good.

I have never bought into this reversable/non reversable stuff. To ditch a casino for over 24hr payment is ridiculous IMO. If a casino is with a good regulator and has a good reputation I am not that fussed over the payment time. Different systems have different hoops to pass through. As long as it is not over 10 days then that is acceptable IMO.

A lot of players seem to treat it as a personal affront if a casino asks for documents. But you have to bear in mind that they have to do their due dilligence. It needen't be a cause for concern that a few days have passed.

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.

Besides that isn't the anxiety part of the fun? :D
 
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.

What I find interesting is the lack of faith some of you seem to have. Do you not trust the CM accreditation process?

If you accept that non payment at accredited casinos is rare then what is there to worry about?

Recently I have been at a place that is taking about 30 days to make a payment. It's called work :D.

The thread has nothing to do with not trusting the accreditation process.

In fact, it's very much the opposite - it is participating in that process. Bryan cant be expected to know all the ins and outs of each casino on a daily basis - that is why these forums and discussions are so important.

Bryan has developed a set of requirements for accreditation. As far as I can see, there has not been any exceptions made to these requirements - in fact, some casinos have been removed for falling below those standards. Accreditation here is a privelege IMO and has to be earned, and the minute we start saying 'Oh well as long as they tick most of the boxes its OK' or 'As long as they pay in the end its OK' then we undermine and devalue the prestige and integrity of being a CM Accredited Casino.

It may not worry you personally, but many players I know have a limited budget and winning a few extra bucks is a big thing for them. If they are willing to give a casino their business, they should be treated as a valued customer and be paid in a timely fashion...the meaning of which we are seeing in the poll results.

Again, its a personal thing and I respect your view but it would seem to be very much the minority view. (and there is nothing wrong with that either btw)

If a poll were posted about choosing between 2 casinos that were identical in every way except one paid in 24 hours and one paid in 7 days, which casino do you think would be the most chosen?

Not true actually about operators having to wait 180 days for funds. Its a few days to a week or so max. On our biz we use 3rd party billing and our own merchant account funds are with us within 2 weeks for 3rd party within 4 days when we process through our own bank. Consumers can charge back up to 1 year. Strict limits are in place from Visa Mc in regards to the % of charge backs any buisness can have. Go over the % and you run the risk of loosing the ability to process Visa or MC. This is no defense though for casinos. Any biz worth its weight can easily employ a number of methods to scrub cards at the point of purchase (just like we do ) without even the need for documentation. But ok take a passport scan and a util bill it will make no difference at all in stopping a player charge back if they want to. Thats the risk and for any business to use this as an excuse to delay payment by a number of days or weeks is utter crapola! Damn if we held of on product delivery for a week after purchase due to "secuirty meaures" we would be out of biz within the month. 48 hours max should be standard for getting your coin - no excuse at all.

Well its a while since Ive dealt with this stuff from the business side of things so it may be different now so I will defer to your knowledge on that :)

Spot on.
 
Good thread Nifty. My previous post was a bit flippant due to consumption of a few beverages :).

What I think is maybe these slower payers are good for us. Can't play all the time can we? If you get a good win and have to wait a few days it can be a chance to cool off a bit.

If you can avoid the reversing trap these waits can be good for you. It's the break which refreshes and all that. I do feel sorry for people who have trouble with reversals though.
