What is a Pending Withdrawal?
A pending withdrawal is a withdrawal request that has been submitted and accepted by the casino but is still being processed. During this phase, the funds remain in a temporary holding status within the casino’s system. Players can typically view pending withdrawals in their account dashboard, showing the amount, requested date, and estimated completion time. The pending status indicates the withdrawal is in progress and will be finalized once all processing steps are completed.
The Pending Withdrawal Process
When a player requests a withdrawal, the casino’s system generates a pending transaction. The casino then verifies the player’s identity, checks account balance, confirms no active wagering requirements remain, and validates the withdrawal meets casino policies. Once approved, the payment processor receives the transaction details and initiates the transfer to the player’s chosen payment method. The pending status continues until the payment processor confirms completion on their end.
How Long Do Pending Withdrawals Take?
Pending withdrawal duration varies based on the payment method selected. Cryptocurrency withdrawals typically complete within minutes to hours. E-wallet withdrawals like Skrill or Neteller usually process within 24 hours. Bank transfers typically remain pending for 3-5 business days as banks require additional processing time. Some casinos may also implement additional security review periods, extending the pending status by 24-48 hours for large withdrawals or first-time requests.
Cancelling and Managing Pending Withdrawals
Players can typically cancel pending withdrawals while they remain in pending status, returning funds to their casino account. However, once a payment processor confirms the withdrawal has been processed, cancellation becomes impossible. Players should check their casino’s specific cancellation policy, as some casinos charge fees for cancellations or have time windows for cancellation requests. Most casinos recommend leaving pending withdrawals untouched until completion rather than repeatedly cancelling and resubmitting.
