About this site

A small team comparing casino sites on one thing that is easy to measure and hard to fake: how long a withdrawal actually takes.

Who we are

We are a small independent team covering online casinos available to players in the UK. We are not an operator, we do not run games, and we hold no gambling licence. We compare sites and publish what we find.

Almost every site we cover is licensed outside Great Britain. That is a deliberate scope, and it carries consequences we would rather state plainly than bury: those operators sit outside GAMSTOP, and the Gambling Commission’s complaints routes do not apply to them. If you have used self-exclusion, this is not the right site for you, and our responsible gambling page explains why.

How we test

We open a real account, deposit real money, clear the wagering where a bonus is attached, and request a withdrawal. Then we time it. We log two separate timestamps for every request: the moment the operator approves it, and the moment the money lands. Those are different numbers and conflating them is how “instant” became meaningless.

Every site gets at least three withdrawals on different days, including a weekend, because manual approval desks keep office hours and an average built from weekday requests flatters them. We verify identity before the first deposit at every site, so the verification delay is measured rather than accidentally skipped.

Claims that only exist on a terms page do not count. If we could not get a site to pay us, we say so rather than repeating its marketing.

How we rank

Approval speed comes first, then which payment rails are genuinely available, then limits and fees, then friction in the terms. Offer value is the tie-breaker, not the reason for a high position. A large bonus attached to heavy wagering makes a payout slower, not faster. The full method is here.

We re-check the list monthly, and sooner when something material changes, such as an operator adding a pending period or dropping a payment method.

How we make money

Links to operators are affiliate links. If you open an account through one, we may be paid a commission. It costs you nothing and it does not change what you are offered.

It also does not change the order. Position on this site is not for sale, and no operator has ever paid for one. The practical proof is that sites paying us more sometimes rank lower, because their terms are worse. If that ever stops being true, this paragraph will change.

What we are not

We are not a helpline and we are not qualified to give advice about gambling harm. If gambling has stopped being entertainment, the GamCare-run National Gambling Helpline is free on 0808 8020 133, 24 hours a day.

We are also not your route to a dispute with an operator. We have no leverage over any site listed here and cannot recover a withheld balance. What we can do is correct our page if we have got something wrong, and we want to hear about it, so tell us.
