Fastest Paying Poker, Casino, Sports Betting and Gambling Sites May 2018

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.

Public forum posts and comment submissions from actual players are indispensable when trying to gauge how well online gambling operators adhere to their stated guidelines for payment processing timeframes. If you would like to help us ensure the accuracy and thoroughness of our payment reports going forward, you may do so in two ways.

Firstly, you may leave a comment below detailing any cashout experiences you've recently had from any online poker, casino, or other gaming sites. If you would prefer to leave your payout data in a public forum for all to see, please check our source documentation at the end of this report for locations where that can easily be done. Whichever option you choose, please follow the suggested format providing all requested data.

April was a relatively good month for online poker withdrawal speeds. The Bitcoin Network has remained stable and uncongested, which probably played a role in convincing a couple of operators to remove fees involved on the payout end of their cashiers for this crypto-currency. Yet, a few of the entities at the top of our list dropped down just a tad for a variety of factors that were only somewhat related to cashout times. We wouldn't be surprised to see these organizations make a big push in the coming months to restore their usual excellent level of service and thereby jump back up the ranks.

Sites sharing this cashier include Ignition Casino, Bovada, and Bodog.

ProfRB.com REPORT SCORE: 9.1 (-0.1 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.

Payment timeframes for the PWL Network edged upward a bit for both BTC and checks during April, which is why we deducted a point from the score this month. Nevertheless, they remain well within the stated guidelines, and customers have not had any issues receiving their funds. This is probably no more than a temporary fluctuation, so we feel comfortable placing the PaiWangLuo Network at the top of our list of reputable, honest-paying offshore gaming sites yet again.

Ever since the early 2000s, Bodog and the other enterprises associated with it have always deployed safe, effective payment processing methods. This is still true today, so users in the United States and around the world can play with confidence at Bodog, Bovada, and Ignition.

The sites housed on this network are Sportsbetting.ag, TigerGaming, and BetOnline.

ProfRB.com REPORT SCORE: 9.1 (-0.1 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.

Player-reported payment data was light for the Chico Poker Network last month, but what experiences were shared were mostly positive. One user's check took way longer to arrive than promised, but this was counterbalanced by blazingly rapid crypto same-day payout speeds. Sadly, however, the CPN decided to stop doing business in Australia, removing one more name from the ever-shrinking list of places for Aussies to bet.

Residents of the Land Down Under can no longer play at the Chico Network, but it is still a desirable place for Americans, Britons, Canadians, and people from almost everywhere else to wager at online.

Sites sharing this cashier include Intertops and Juicy Stakes.

ProfRB.com REPORT SCORE: 8.9 (+0.1 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.

Intertops has changed its policies and now no longer charges $20 to send bitcoins to customers' wallets. Instead, all BTC withdrawals are now free of additional charges. Slow and steady wins the race at the Horizon Network as we've seen marginal improvements made over time, but these small enhancements add up to big convenience for users. The next steps, in our view, are to replicate the strong crypto presence at Intertops over to sister site Juicy Stakes and to permit cashouts via Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash, which were enabled for deposits in March.

We trust in the long history for fairness established by Intertops, flagship brand of the Horizon Poker Network.

Sites sharing this cashier include ACR Poker, BlackChip Poker, True Poker, and Ya Poker.

ProfRB.com REPORT SCORE: 8.8 (-0.2 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 has been experiencing some difficulties of late. Annoying Distributed Denial of Service attacks have impaired the playing experience for many individuals. “WPN is still paying people out even given all the drama,” though, as explained by twoplustwoer “Grape Soda.” Yet, we felt we had to subtract a couple of points from the WPN's score because a poker room that's not accessible is pretty much useless until service is restored. We also took into consideration that the popular debit card withdrawal solution has been suspended with no replacement yet announced.

The Winning Poker Network's IT woes are hindering its ability to provide the games players love, but the payment side of things has not been disrupted.

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.

It's more of the same at the Grand Network operators – fair-and-square sports-betting, casino wagering, and poker action without any fuss or hassle. Many of the sites on this network are smaller, less-prominent companies, but they're anchored by the online gambling giant 5Dimes. Thus, worries about payouts are seldom warranted here.

It's business as usual at the Grand Poker Network and the attached sports and casino divisions.

Nitrogen Sports is a standalone site that includes poker, sports-betting, and casino games.

ProfRB.com REPORT SCORE: 7.8 (+0.1  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 has made a change to its withdrawal policies for Bitcoin, the only supported cashout option. Users can request one free BTC payment every six days, which is an improvement over the previous 14 day waiting period between withdrawals. Additional cashouts within the six-day window are permitted, but they each incur a small fee. Same day payout processing is standard at Nitrogen.

The poker room at Nitrogen Sports contains freerolls, Nitro rewards, guaranteed tournaments, and many other ways of boosting your bottom line.

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.

Low rake, rapid payments, a wide array of game types, and rakeback through the Krill rewards program are some of the reasons why poker connoisseurs call SwC home. It's continuing its tradition of same day payouts to customers, and anecdotal testimony suggests that player volume is picking up.

You can sample NL Hold'em, PL Omaha, Stud, HORSE, Open Face Chinese and many other variants at SwCPoker.

Take a look at our review of SwCPoker for further info.

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
