Fast Payout Casinos

What are fast payouts for US players?

Novice casino players may be surprised when they face delays while requesting their first payout. Withdrawing your winnings can take anything between a few seconds and 10 working days and this is all within the realm of legal, licensed US casinos. If you play at an unlicensed site (which we strongly advice that you don’t), there is no guarantee that you’ll ever see your winnings at all.

Players from several states of the US can now play legally at online casinos. Some of these casinos are the well-known Las Vegas casinos that have created their online sites, while others are European giants that have received their US licenses. In either case, they have to conform to strict rules and regulations that can impact your payouts. First of all, you need to understand why withdrawals can take some time and why some withdrawals are instant. There are two different main factors that make up the withdrawal process which you can read more about beneath.

Instant Processing Time

This is the time the casino takes to process your withdrawals. Depending on the withdrawal method, this may be an automated process that takes mere seconds or a thorough anti-money laundering check that can take up to 72 hours even if everything is in order.

Casinos are required by law to conduct a procedure called “Know your customer” or KYC which means verifying the true identity of players and confirming they live where they say they live. AML (anti-money laundering) procedures are also conducted to verify that the deposited money came from a legal source and no criminal activity was involved.

24h Withdrawals on US Casinos

This bit depends on your bank/credit card company/e-wallet and has nothing to do with the casino. International bank transfers that go through multiple intermediary banks may take several days, even up to a week. Credit card companies can also take up to 5 days to process transactions and reflect this on your card balance. Generally, transactions to e-wallets are instant and therefore, we recommend using these options if you are in a hurry to get your money.

The best USA casinos promise to process your withdrawal request within 24 hours while others take 48 or even 72 hours. Processing time will also depend on how many transactions the casino is processing at any given time so some days withdrawals will be faster than other days.

What payment options are instant?

Most American online casinos give punters several different payment options. Some are faster than others in terms of the duration of time it takes the money to reach your account. However, the processing time is up to the casino. High-quality casinos aim at processing transactions in an instant manner to keep customer satisfaction at a high level. Once the withdrawal request has been processed and the casino has sent out the money, the fastest channels to receive the funds are in the below order.

Paypal

PayPal transactions show up on your account as soon as the casino transfers the money to you. Unfortunately, not nearly all casinos accept PayPal but if they do, this is definitely one of the top options. The only downside is that you’ll still have to transfer the money from PayPal to your bank card or bank account which can take a couple of days. PayPal transactions are offered in most casinos that hold a US license including BetMGM Casino, Caesars Casino, Draft Kings Casino, and European giants 888 and Unibet.

E-Wallets

There are two major e-wallets that work similar to PayPal and are more often than not accepted at online casinos: Skrill and Neteller. Both have a good reputation, very low fees, and fast, almost instant processing times. Both provide virtual cards which are very handy when you want to make online purchases. At BetMGM, for example, you can make deposit and withdrawals using Skrill.

EChecks

EChecks are very popular in the US and many people trust this payment method very much. Even though eChecks are safe and reliable, it can take a while to receive your money this way. It takes 24 to 48 hours for banks to verify the payment and then the ACH network takes another 3 to 5 days to deduct it from the sender’s account and deposit it to the customer’s bank account. At Hard Rock Casino, Caesars Casino, Unibet and Draft Kings eChecks are accepted.

Visa & Mastercard

Many gamblers still prefer to use their traditional debit or credit cards at casinos. While these payment methods are generally considered safe, they are one of the slowest methods to receive your funds with. When a transaction is sent to your card it is considered a refund from the bank’s point of view. Processing times depend on your bank. The fastest banks may process card refunds in one day while others may take 5 or even 7 business days.
