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.
