This monthly report brings you information about offshore poker sites and their cashout speeds. Not only will it help you find the fastest paying poker sites, but most of these sites have other forms of gambling as well. As such, this data will also give you information on sportsbook payouts, casino payouts, racebook payouts, etc. Many online gaming providers today offer same-day payouts, which is quite an improvement from the situation just a couple of years ago.
Our report will be especially helpful to those in "grey markets" such as the United States, Australia, Czechia, and other countries. Players in these markets will often have a restricted menu of payment options due to processing hurdles and limitations. Still, the overwhelming majority of these sites provide games to players all over the world; thus, any real money online gamer should find this page useful.
All of our data is sourced from reports by online players who have kindly left a public record of the dates they requested their withdrawals and the dates on which the money was received by them. We've gathered these notes together and averaged them out to come up with our results.

Last updated on July 2, 2018
June was business as usual for our roster of legitimate offshore poker and gambling sites as far as payouts were concerned. Many of the rooms on our list made modest improvements to their cashout speeds. We're in the doldrums of summer right now when online poker traffic figures tend to be at their lowest, and there's often a reduced demand for customer payments during this season. We'll see in the coming months if the situation continues unchanged through fall when volume picks up.

Sites sharing this cashier include Ignition Casino, Bovada, and Bodog. As such, this chart covers payout speeds for the IgnitionCasino.eu, Bodog.eu, Bodog.com, and Bovada.lv websites.
ProfRB.com REPORT SCORE: 9.4 (+0.2 from last month)
Key Stat: Bitcoin payment times within the 2-day processing guidelines.
Key Fact: Ignition and Bovada are still the #1 US-facing online poker sites in terms of player traffic.
The PWL Network has improved its payment processing speeds considerably, and now, same-day payouts are achieved more often than not. Indeed, one enthusiastic user reported receiving his BTC withdrawal within 15 minutes of making his request! Such brisk cashout times are enough for PWL to retain its crown in our report for yet another month, and it even extends its lead over its rival internet poker organizations.
Ignition, Bodog, and Bovada have always had reliable payment processing for their valued clients. You can sleep easy in the knowledge that any money you have at these rooms is completely safe.

The sites housed on this network are Sportsbetting.ag, TigerGaming, and BetOnline.
ProfRB.com REPORT SCORE: 9.1 (EVEN from last month)
Key Stat: BetOnline’s ~24 hour Bitcoin turnaround shows strength of withdrawal abilities.
Key Fact: Firmly seated in 3rd in terms of player traffic for US friendly poker sites.
The player-reported data for the month of June indicates that the Chico Poker Network is holding steady with Bitcoin payments taking about a day to get from the site to users' wallets. This is more or less the way the situation has been for a couple of months now, and so there's no change in this operators score.
Though Australians can no longer access Sportsbetting.ag, TigerGaming, and BetOnline, residents of the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and many other countries are welcomed here.

Sites sharing this cashier include ACR Poker, BlackChip Poker, True Poker, and Ya Poker.
ProfRB.com REPORT SCORE 9.0 (+0.1 from last month)
Key Stat: WPN withdrawals remain well under stated times for almost all processors.
Key Fact: Trails only Ignition in US-facing player traffic and is 10th worldwide.
The Winning Poker Network seems to have reduced its Bitcoin withdrawal time in transit to just over one day although in some cases, players are getting their money within just a few hours. This marks an improvement over the already-fast payment speeds that we have come to expect here and warrants a slight bump up in the ratings.
All of the network-owned skins on the WPN provide the same excellent cashier functions, so you'll be in good hands no matter which of them you play at.

Sites sharing this cashier include Intertops and Juicy Stakes.
ProfRB.com REPORT SCORE: 8.7 (-0.2 from last month)
Key Stat: Intertops provides extra value in the form of rakeback, money-added tournaments, and casino promos.
Key Fact: Intertops has been a trusted name in gaming for over 30 years.
We unfortunately received word of a couple of cashouts from the Horizon Network taking a bit longer than the stated timeframes. Furthermore, there have been reports of excessive delays in verifying customers' documents. We have therefore taken the step of lowering this network's grade. We expect that these minor irritations are only temporary matters and that Intertops and Juicy Stakes will correct them soon.
Intertops has done right by its users for more than three decades, and it now lends its stellar reputation to the Horizon Network as a whole.

Sites sharing this cashier include 5Dimes, Grand Poker, Island Casino, and Sportbet.
ProfRB.com REPORT SCORE: 8.0 (EVEN from last month)
Key Stat: Opened for business in November of 2014.
Key Fact: Grand Poker is owned by the 5Dimes Group.
The Grand Poker Network and its 5Dimes parent organization have left countless customers satisfied with their gambling products and no-nonsense payment options. Although user-reported data was light for the month of June, we haven't heard of any complaints recently, and so we feel confident that everyone is receiving his or her money in a timely way.
You can enjoy poker, sports betting, casino games, and lottery gambling with the honorable operators on the Grand Poker Network.

Nitrogen Sports is a standalone site that includes poker, sports-betting, and casino games.
ProfRB.com REPORT SCORE: 7.8 (EVEN from last month)
Key Stat: Bitcoin-only online poker site has very fast payouts.
Key Fact: Nitrogen is one of the few sites to offer Bitcoin-only poker to all 50 US states.
Nitrogen Sports has earned its position as one of the top Bitcoin-only bookies online. There has been no interruption of its same-day payouts for both sports and poker bettors. The company has recently reintroduced its daily and weekly volume freerolls, albeit with tougher requirements for qualification, providing another opportunity for free cash to its players.
You can get free bets and mBTC credits applied to your account with the rewards program at the Nitrogen Sports poker room.

SwCPoker is a completely independent Bitcoin poker site that doesn't share its cashier with any other party.
ProfRB.com REPORT SCORE: 7.2 (EVEN from last month)
Key Stat: Offers one of the quickest turnarounds from payout request to receiving.
Key Fact: SWC Poker is one of the originators of using Bitcoin-only denominations in their games.
SwC continues its reign as one of the premier destination for Bitcoin poker especially for those users who seek non-flop game action. Traffic remains sparse, but if you do manage to run up your bankroll, you can rest assured that you'll get your bitcoin same-day payout without incident.
Although player volume is low, SwC is an excellent cardroom if you like “other” types of poker, like HORSE, Limit Omaha 8, Open Face Chinese, et cetera.
Take a look at our review of SwCPoker for further info.
ProfRB.com REPORT SCORE: N/A
Key Stat: Player traffic has dropped to less than 100 players on average per week.
Key Fact: Carbon Poker offers no incentives and bans winning accounts on their poker site.
Carbon Poker is a site that used to be the king of USA online poker, but we now caution our readers to avoid it. It has an unenviable history of making questionable decisions that are detrimental to the player community, including booting winning players from its site, cutting back drastically on promotions, and even charging a fee on every additional withdrawal beyond one in a year.
That is correct, they only offer one free withdrawal per year and after that charge 5% of the amount of your withdrawal, even for crypto-currency withdrawals which cost less than a penny! For example, if you were to initiate a maximum withdrawal for $2,500 (yes they have low withdrawal limits relative to other gambling sites), the site would charge fully $125 for the withdrawal and you would receive $2,375 only. A Bitcoin withdrawal like this would cost less than one dollar to process, even if ramping up the fees in order to garner the highest processing priority. We suppose that Merge Gaming Network just keeps the remaining $124 and change as profit from your winnnings. We don't agree with that behavior and this is yet another reason that we do not recommend Carbon Gaming, Players Only, Sportsbook.com, or any of the companies operated by "Domain Holdings," formerly Jazette Enterprises.
For the moment, users are getting their money but with delays and annoying surcharges. Recently, the company reduced the Bitcoin withdrawal limit from $5,000 to just $2,500.
We strongly encourage you to play at any of the other online poker rooms listed above and keep away from the Merge Gaming Network. Seriously, play anywhere else other than Carbon Poker, PlayersOnly, Sportsbook.com, and Superbook.
ProfRB.com REPORT SCORE: 7.9 (-0.4 from last month)
Key Stat: Global Poker works with only one payout channel, WorldPay.
Key Fact: There's no deposit bonus offer at Global and a lack of other promos.
Global Poker used to support PayPal deposits and withdrawals, which no other reputable gaming operator does for U.S. players. These transactions were fairly speedy with same-day payouts commonplace. However, in June 2018, the firm decided to switch processors to Worldpay for both deposits and withdrawals. Many users had deposited through PayPal because this was the channel that they were most familiar with, and they are now unable to use it for withdrawals. The Worldpay cashouts are processed via bank transfer, which is a big issue for those without bank accounts or who don't wish to commingle their online poker funds with their other finances.
Global hasn't exactly made the reasons for this switchover public. However, we have long had our doubts about the sustainability of Global's business model, which we go over in our Global Poker Review. It's very likely that PayPal got wind of what was going on at this company – that is, real money gaming in all but name – and opted to pull the plug. Even before Global stopped doing business with PayPal, there were signs that something was not right with this site. In January, we covered an incident involving a player waiting more than six months to receive his $50,000 cashout. The way the firm handled the recent woes related to the Rattlesnake Open series have also left us wary. For the past year or more, Global has been exposing users' personal documentation on the web for all to see, and this security vulnerability was only discovered in June.
The long-term viability of Global Poker is not really known for sure, so we recommend that you take a pass on Global Poker if you value the safety of your funds.

What do I need to do to get a payout from an online gambling site?
In most cases, you'll have to complete identity verification before a real money internet gaming site will send you a payment. This usually involves submitting a copy of a form of identification as well as a recent utility bill or other proof of address. The reason sites request this information is because they must adhere to Know Your Customer and anti-money laundering laws. Once your account is verified, you won't have to go through this hassle again because the company will retain your documents and therefore won't have to request them again.
What can I do to speed up my cashout?
If you're keen on obtaining your money as rapidly as possible, perhaps from a same-day payout casino for U.S. players, then we advise you to complete any identity verification in advance of the time when you intend to submit your withdrawal. Furthermore, we believe that it's best to transact in crypto-currency so that you won't have to wait for the postal service to deliver your check or for the molasses-paced vagaries of bank wires.
How do I start using crypto-currency?
It can be a challenge to get involved in digital currencies because there is a fair amount of work to do to set up your wallet and exchange accounts. Fortunately, we've prepared guides for some of the most popular crypto coins in existence. Check them out here: Bitcoin Gambling Guide | Guide to Ethereum Gaming | Gamble Online With Bitcoin Cash
