Every crypto casino claims "instant withdrawals." Almost none of them publish actual numbers, and neither do most review sites. So we did it ourselves: real accounts, real deposits, real Bitcoin withdrawals — timed with a stopwatch from the moment we clicked withdraw to the moment the transaction appeared on-chain.
This article contains the complete results of BetJudge's May 2026 withdrawal speed test across seven crypto casinos: BC Game, Duelbits, Stake, Bitstarz, Roobet, Gamdom, and Cloudbet. Each platform was tested with a minimum of three separate withdrawal transactions.
The results: all 7 casinos, timed
| Rank | Casino | Timed Result (BTC) | Pending Policy | KYC During Test |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | BC Game | 4 min 11 sec (benchmark) · fastest single: 2 min 14 sec | None for verified accounts | None (under 0.01 BTC) |
| #2 | Duelbits | 4 min 38 sec | No mandatory pending period | None (under 0.01 BTC) |
| #3 | Stake | Under 5 min | None for standard amounts | None for test amounts |
| #4 | Bitstarz | 9 min 22 sec average (3 transactions) · ETH ~11 min | Brief review on first withdrawal | None |
| #5 | Roobet | ~12 min average | Email confirmation on first withdrawal | None under $5,000 |
| #6 | Gamdom | ~14 min average | 15-min default pending window — can be disabled | None for test amounts |
| #7 | Cloudbet | ~18 min average | Manual review possible above 0.1 BTC (up to 1 hr) | None for test amounts |
The biggest variable in withdrawal speed is not the casino's payment processor — it's whether the platform applies a mandatory pending period. Gamdom's default 15-minute pending window accounts for most of its 14-minute average. Disable it in account settings and Gamdom would rank near the top of this list.
How we tested (methodology)
Numbers are only as good as the process behind them. Here is exactly what we did, so you can replicate it:
- Real accounts, real money. We created standard player accounts at each of the seven casinos — no press accounts, no VIP flags. Each account was funded with a real BTC deposit.
- Play-through first. We played at each casino before withdrawing, so the withdrawals looked like normal player behavior, not deposit-and-run patterns that can trigger extra review.
- Standardized benchmark. Our benchmark withdrawal was 0.005 BTC, submitted on a weekday. Each casino was tested with a minimum of three separate withdrawal transactions in May 2026.
- Stopwatch from click to chain. We timed from the moment the withdrawal was submitted to the moment the transaction appeared in the Bitcoin mempool. We did not count block confirmation time, since that's the network's latency, not the casino's.
- Default settings. We tested every platform exactly as a new player would experience it. That's why Gamdom's disableable 15-minute pending window counts against its measured time — a new player hits it by default.
Full scoring criteria for our reviews are documented on the BetJudge methodology page. Withdrawal speed is worth 15% of each casino's overall score.
Platform-by-platform notes
#1 BC Game — 4:11 benchmark, 2:14 fastest single
BC Game was the clear winner. Our standard 0.005 BTC benchmark withdrawal hit the mempool in 4 minutes 11 seconds, every timed withdrawal cleared in under 5 minutes, and the single fastest transaction of the entire test — 2 minutes 14 seconds — happened here. There is no pending period for verified accounts, and no KYC was requested for amounts under 0.01 BTC. Withdrawals go directly on-chain without third-party processors. Read the full BC Game review.
#2 Duelbits — 4:38
Duelbits processed our 0.005 BTC withdrawal in 4 minutes 38 seconds — 27 seconds behind BC Game. There is no mandatory pending period, and crypto payouts are automated without manual review for amounts under standard daily limits. Combined with its unlimited daily rakeback, Duelbits is a strong pick for players who move funds in and out frequently. Read the full Duelbits review.
#3 Stake — under 5 minutes
Stake consistently processed standard crypto withdrawals in under 5 minutes with no mandatory pending period for normal amounts. With 20+ supported cryptocurrencies and the largest combined casino + sportsbook on our list, Stake's payout speed removes the one objection big platforms usually face. Read the full Stake review.
#4 Bitstarz — 9:22 average
Bitstarz averaged 9 minutes 22 seconds across three BTC withdrawals; Ethereum withdrawals averaged around 11 minutes. The first withdrawal on a new account goes through a brief automated review, which is where most of the extra time comes from. Still comfortably one of the faster platforms in the industry. Read the full Bitstarz review.
#5 Roobet — ~12 minutes
Roobet averaged about 12 minutes per BTC withdrawal. The first withdrawal requires an email confirmation step, but there's no manual review for amounts under $5,000. Once the first withdrawal is done, subsequent payouts move noticeably faster. Read the full Roobet review.
#6 Gamdom — ~14 minutes (with an asterisk)
Gamdom averaged about 14 minutes — but this number deserves context. Gamdom applies a default 15-minute pending window to all withdrawals as a security feature, and that window can be disabled in account settings. Tested at default settings (as a new player experiences it), Gamdom ranks sixth; with the pending window off, it would compete with the top three. Withdrawal limits reset daily at midnight UTC. Read the full Gamdom review.
#7 Cloudbet — ~18 minutes
Cloudbet was the slowest platform we timed, averaging about 18 minutes for BTC. Withdrawals above 0.1 BTC may additionally require manual review and take up to an hour. The trade-off: Cloudbet supports 30+ cryptocurrencies, and some networks are much faster than its BTC processing — Tron withdrawals cleared in under 2 minutes. Read the full Cloudbet review.
What actually determines withdrawal speed
Across 21+ timed transactions, three factors explained nearly all of the variance:
- Pending periods. The single biggest factor. Casinos with zero mandatory pending (BC Game, Duelbits, Stake) clustered under 5 minutes. Gamdom's default 15-minute window single-handedly moved it from the top tier to the bottom half.
- First-withdrawal friction. Bitstarz's brief review and Roobet's email confirmation only apply to the first withdrawal on a new account. Your second withdrawal at either platform will be faster than the averages in our table.
- Amount thresholds. Every platform processes small withdrawals (under ~0.01 BTC) automatically. Manual review kicks in at different points — around 0.1 BTC at Cloudbet, $5,000 at Roobet. If you need a large amount fast, split it into smaller withdrawals below the platform's review threshold.
What didn't matter much: the casino's size, age, or game library. Cloudbet has been operating since 2013 and was the slowest; BC Game and Duelbits are younger platforms and were the fastest.
How crypto compares to fiat casino withdrawals
For perspective: traditional online casinos paying out via bank transfer typically take 1–5 business days, and even e-wallet payouts usually take 24 hours due to internal processing queues. The slowest crypto casino in our test (Cloudbet, ~18 minutes) is still roughly 80× faster than a one-day fiat payout. This is the single most concrete advantage crypto casinos have over fiat platforms — more tangible than bonuses, more verifiable than game counts.
If withdrawal speed is your main criterion, our dedicated fastest payout crypto casinos ranking is updated monthly with the latest timed results. And before you deposit anywhere for a bonus, run the numbers through our bonus calculator — a fast withdrawal doesn't help if your funds are locked behind 40× wagering. Our guide to wagering requirements explains how that math works.
When we'll re-test
Withdrawal infrastructure changes — casinos switch processors, adjust pending policies, and modify review thresholds. We re-run this test periodically and update this article, the fastest payout ranking, and our verified data hub when results change. The date at the top of this page reflects the last revision. If you've timed a withdrawal that contradicts our data, tell us — reader reports have triggered re-tests before.
