Withdrawal Speed Index
Minutes to chain, measured
Casinos advertise "instant withdrawals"; we put a stopwatch on them. The index times real payouts from request to on-chain broadcast — the part the casino actually controls — and publishes every run, good or bad, with the transaction as proof.

Test log
The first full test cycle — real deposits and timed withdrawals at all 6 tracked casinos over Litecoin and USDT-TRC20 — is running through June 2026. Results land here as each test completes, with the transaction ID attached. No results will be published before they exist; that's the whole point of this site.
02 · The baseline
What the blockchain itself costs you
A fair index has to separate casino delay from network delay. These are the physical baselines of the networks we test on — no casino can pay out faster than its chain confirms:
| Network | Block / finality time | Typical fee | Verdict for payouts |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC | ~2.5 min blocks | ~$0.01 | PRIMARY BENCHMARK |
| USDT-TRC20 | ~3 s blocks, minutes to finality | cents–few $ | CONTROL NETWORK |
| SOL | sub-second slots | <$0.01 | WHERE SUPPORTED |
| ETH | ~12 s slots | varies with gas | FEE-SENSITIVE |
| BTC | ~10 min blocks | varies | SLOWEST COMMON OPTION |
A working definition for reading the data: we treat anything under 10 minutes request-to-broadcast as genuinely instant — that's automated processing with no human in the loop. Ten minutes to an hour usually means batched payouts on a schedule; an hour to a day means a manual review queue; and anything beyond a day is a policy decision worth knowing about before you deposit, not after. Casino-reported "instant" claims get graded against this scale, not taken at their word.
That's why the index measures request-to-broadcast time: everything before the transaction hits the mempool is the casino's processing pipeline — manual review queues, batching schedules, "weekend delays" — and that's the part worth ranking. A casino that broadcasts your Litecoin withdrawal in four minutes is genuinely instant; one that sits on it for six hours is making a choice, whatever its homepage says.
Which networks each casino actually supports, and at what reported KYC threshold, is in the main ranking and the KYC Trigger Report. For the strategy layer — which chain to hold, deposit and cash out on, and why it changes your verification exposure — see the payout-network guide.
