As said before, the casino is mainly responsible for ensuring players receive their winnings on time. But players also have their part to play, including:
Avoid Card Payments
Debit and credit cards are widely available in the iGaming scene. Gambling sites process payments via Visa and Mastercard, with others having options like American Express, Visa Electron, and Maestro. These payment options usually have higher transaction limits, with first deposits often qualifying for the welcome promotion.
But although Visa and Mastercard deposits are credited almost instantly, withdrawals usually take 3 to 5 business days. It’s impossible to blame the live casino here because the bank must confirm the payment before approving it. Therefore, for making payments, use e-wallets like:
- PayPal
- Skrill
- Neteller
- Trustly
Payments via online banking options like Interac, iDebit, and Instadebit are also instant.
Complete the KYC Process
KYC (Know Your Customer) is mandatory on all legal gambling sites. With this procedure, the casino looks to confirm the player’s real identity, reducing illegal activities like underage gambling, money laundering, gambling addiction, etc. Usually, players will verify their casino ID before making their first real money deposit or withdrawal.
How does the casino verify identities?
- The support team sends an email with a link where players can upload the necessary documents.
- This includes a copy of a government-issued ID/passport/driver’s license and recent utility bill/bank statement.
- Verification usually takes less than 24 hours.
So, don’t give out the wrong information during the sign-up process to avoid complications during the KYC phase.
Make Smaller Payments
This trick will work almost 99% of the time. Players should avoid lump sum payments unless they have won a jackpot where the casino needs to write a check. Instead, choose smaller amounts or installments because such payments are unlikely to attract attention.
For example, a $1,000 payout will likely be processed much faster than a $10,000 withdrawal. The bank may also want to know more about the payment if it’s an unusually high amount. This can be bad news, especially for players living where online gambling is illegal.
Join New Live Online Casinos
The online gambling industry is constantly expanding, with new sites launching daily. But thanks to competition, the new entrants must bring their A-game to attract and keep players happy. Part of the marketing scheme is offering players instant payouts. These casinos are usually run by industry veterans who know that gamblers are impatient, especially regarding payouts.
But instant payment is not the only advantage that comes with new online live casinos. These casinos also have modern and intuitive designs tailored for mobile and desktop play. In addition, their customer service is always a click away on live chat, email, a toll-free line, or even social media. Just ensure that a legal body licenses the casino.
