Withdrawal speed: how we test it

How we time bookmaker withdrawals from request to payment, and how delays, fees and extra checks affect the score.

Withdrawal speed tells you how long you wait for your own money. It is the test readers ask about most.

How we test it

  1. We request a withdrawal after placing at least one bet, using the same method we deposited with where possible.
  2. We note the time of the request, each status change shown in the account, and the time the money arrives.
  3. We record any extra checks, fees or limits that appear during the withdrawal.

How it affects the score

Faster payouts score higher. Unexplained delays, new document requests at the withdrawal stage and fees not shown in the terms lower the score. A withdrawal that is not paid means the bookmaker is not ranked.

Set limits before you bet

Deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion are available at licensed bookmakers.
