The question we are answering
Every number on this site answers one question: if an ordinary player asks this casino for their money in crypto, how long until it is spendable in their own wallet? Not how long the casino says it takes, not the best case, not the time after approval — the full wait, end to end, measured by us.
That framing drives every rule below. We use ordinary accounts, ordinary amounts and ordinary times of day, because a VIP account with a personal manager tells you nothing about what you will experience.
Accounts and deposits
- Fresh accounts. Each casino gets new accounts registered by our testers in their own names, at the start of each round. No affiliate manager is told which accounts are ours.
- Modest deposits. $50–$150 equivalent per deposit, sent from self-custody wallets. Withdrawal amounts in this round ranged from about $50 to $400.
- Two tracks. At casinos with a welcome bonus we run a no-bonus account and a bonus account. Bonus-account withdrawals are only timed once wagering is complete, so we measure the cashier, not the terms.
- Real play. We play standard slots and table games between deposit and withdrawal. Deposit-and-withdraw-immediately cycles are unrealistic and trigger extra checks.
The clock: T0 to T3
Each withdrawal produces four timestamps, recorded from a screen recording with a UTC overlay and confirmed against a block explorer:
| Mark | Event | Source |
|---|---|---|
| T0 | Withdraw button pressed and request accepted | Screen recording |
| T1 | Status changes to approved / processing | Cashier status, recording |
| T2 | Transaction ID broadcast on-chain | Block explorer first-seen time |
| T3 | Confirmed credit in our wallet | Wallet + explorer |
The three splits are approval (T0→T1), broadcast (T1→T2) and network (T2→T3). The headline “lap” is T0→T3. For T3 we use one confirmation on Bitcoin and Litecoin, and block inclusion on Ethereum, Tron and Solana. When a casino has no visible “approved” status, T1 is set equal to T2 and the whole wait is booked as approval.
Timing windows
Requests are spread across the week. Most are made on weekdays between 08:00 and 18:00 UTC, and every casino gets at least one Saturday or Sunday control run. Where it is relevant — after major sports or esports events, for example — we add an extra run to see how the cashier copes with load. Each casino received between 8 and 15 timed cashouts in this round, Round 26-C, test window 8 Sep – 10 Oct 2026.
From laps to a median
For each casino we report the median of its per-coin medians. Medians resist outliers: one unusually slow Sunday will not wreck a casino's number, and one lucky lap will not flatter it. We also publish every per-coin median, so you can see the spread for yourself. Coins we did not test at a given casino are marked “n/t” and excluded rather than estimated.
Times are always presented as hh:mm:ss, labelled “our test median”, and attached to the round they came from. They are measurements of our sessions, not guarantees of yours.
Scoring and ranking
The leaderboard order comes from a 10-point score with fixed weights:
| Factor | Weight | What we measure |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | 50% | Median request-to-wallet time |
| Consistency | 20% | Spread between fastest and slowest laps; weekend parity |
| Friction | 15% | Extra steps, verification requests, cancellable pending windows |
| Fees & limits | 10% | Fees beyond network cost, minimums, clarity of limits |
| Support | 5% | Accuracy and speed of answers to a status question |
Commercial relationships do not enter the formula. We earn a commission from some links, which we disclose on every page, but no casino can buy a time, a score or a position.
Limits of this method
Our numbers describe small and medium withdrawals by ordinary, unverified accounts. Large withdrawals are more likely to be reviewed. Casino systems change, sometimes overnight. Network conditions vary. And a sample of 8–15 laps per casino is a good indicator, not a statistical certainty. We retest every quarter, and between rounds we spot-check any casino that announces cashier changes. If you have timed a withdrawal that contradicts our numbers, we want to hear about it — see the about page.
