Written by the Afun Editorial Team
This guide has been reviewed for clarity, general-market accuracy, and consistency with public reference pages.
| Method | Typical processing | Minimum | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bank transfer | 1–3 business days after approval | Method-defined | Larger payouts, no third-party intermediary |
| Instant payment (PIX-style) | Minutes to a few hours | Method-defined | Faster payouts to a key you control |
| E-wallet (PayPal, Skrill, Neteller) | Within 24 hours after approval | Wallet-defined | Separates casino balance from bank account |
| Cryptocurrency | After network confirmations | Network fee dependent | Cross-border transfers, network-fee aware |
Processing speed assumes KYC is approved and the bonus rollover (if any) has been met. Edit this note to match the platform's published terms before relying on it.
| Document | When it's needed | Accepted format | Review window |
|---|---|---|---|
| Government photo ID | Before first withdrawal | Original, unedited scan or photo | Minutes to 48 hours |
| Proof of address | When address is the registered jurisdiction | Utility bill or bank statement | Minutes to 48 hours |
| Payment-method proof | When the deposit method must be confirmed | Card masked image or account screenshot | Up to 48 hours |
| National ID number | At registration on most regulated platforms | Typed exactly as printed | Instant at registration |
Submit original, unedited documents with all four corners visible. Do not crop, apply filters, or retouch photos; this typically results in automatic rejection and re-submission delays.
| Likely cause | How to confirm | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| KYC still pending | Account shows 'verification in progress' | Resend any rejected document with the correct format; do not create a second account |
| Bonus rollover not met | Bonus terms still show remaining wagering | Complete the rollover or forfeit the bonus before requesting a payout |
| Security review on large amount | Transaction status stuck on 'under review' | Reply to the platform's email with the transaction reference and ID scan |
| Withdrawal to a third party | Bank flagged or method mismatch | Cancel and resubmit to an account or wallet in your own name |
| Weekend or holiday queue | Request submitted outside business hours | Wait for the next business day; avoid cancelling and resubmitting |
Cancelling and resubmitting a withdrawal request restarts the security review. One clean request with all documents in place is faster than multiple retries.
| Bonus element | What it means | Effect on withdrawal |
|---|---|---|
| Rollover (wagering requirement) | Total amount you must wager before withdrawal | Bonus funds convert to withdrawable cash once the requirement is met |
| Game weighting | Different games contribute different percentages | Check the bonus terms; slots usually count 100%, table games often less |
| Max bet while bonus is active | Cap on individual wager size during the bonus | Exceeding the cap can void the bonus and any winnings from it |
| Bonus expiry | Deadline to complete the rollover | An unmet bonus past its expiry is removed from the account |
Bonus terms vary by market and operator. Read the bonus terms page in full before accepting any offer; this table is a generic summary, not a substitute for the current published terms.
Step-by-step
How to withdraw from an online casino — step by step
Six steps that take a withdrawal from request to received funds on a regulated platform.
Log in and open the cashier
Sign in with your username and password. If two-factor authentication is enabled, confirm the code sent by email or SMS. Open the section labelled Wallet, Banking, Cashier, or Withdraw.
Pick a withdrawal method you control
Choose a method registered in your own name. On Afunbet, this is the same method you used for the deposit where the platform allows it; for a different method, the platform may ask for an extra verification step.
Enter the amount within the allowed limits
Respect the minimum and maximum withdrawal limits. Very small amounts may not be processed; very large amounts may trigger additional manual review.
Confirm and save the reference number
Review every detail before submitting. After confirmation, the platform issues a transaction ID. Keep it; this is the reference you will use if you contact support.
Track the status in your transaction history
Statuses typically move through pending → under review → approved → completed. Do not cancel and resubmit during this window; restarting the review delays the payout.
Contact support if the timeframe has passed
If the published timeframe has elapsed with no funds, contact support through the official channel. Have the transaction reference number, request date, and verification confirmation ready.
Frequently asked
Questions about this article
How long does a withdrawal take from an online casino?
Most withdrawals complete within a few hours to a few business days once the platform has approved the request. The total time depends on KYC status, the chosen method, and any manual security review for larger amounts.
Can the casino refuse my withdrawal?
Yes, if you have not complied with the terms of use, if there is a suspicion of fraud, if identity verification has not been approved, or if you have violated rules such as creating multiple accounts. Read the terms before depositing and keep one account registered with your real details.
Can I withdraw a bonus I received?
It depends on the bonus terms. Most bonuses require you to meet rollover (wagering) requirements before converting the bonus into withdrawable funds. Read the full terms on the bonus page before accepting any offer.
Do I need to verify my identity before withdrawing?
On regulated platforms, yes. Verification (KYC) is standard practice. Submit a clear, unedited government photo ID, a recent proof of address, and proof that any payment method used is registered to you.
What should I do if my withdrawal is delayed?
First check whether KYC is approved and the bonus rollover (if any) has been met. If the request is still pending and the published window has passed, contact support with the transaction reference number, request date, and verification confirmation.
If you searched "how to withdraw from an online casino", the short answer is: make sure your account has approved identity documents, choose a withdrawal method available on the platform, enter an amount within the allowed limits, and monitor the status in your transaction history. The actual time depends on account verification, the chosen method, and bank processing — no platform can guarantee a fixed timeline for every case.
The rest of this guide walks through what each of those steps looks like in practice, which documents are usually requested, which payment methods appear most often, and which situations commonly delay a payout. Use the comparison tables at the top of the page as a quick reference; use the section that follows as the operational detail.
Verify your account before requesting a withdrawal
KYC (Know Your Customer) is standard practice on regulated online platforms. Before processing a withdrawal, most platforms require identity verification, which may include:
- Government-issued photo ID: a valid national ID card, driver's licence, or passport with a clear, unedited photo
- Proof of address: a recent utility bill, bank statement, or official document showing your name and residential address
- Payment-method verification: if you deposited with a bank card or account, you may need to confirm that the payment method is in your name
- National ID number: some platforms ask for your government-issued ID number during registration; it must match the account holder
Submit original, unedited documents with all information visible and readable. Do not crop the edges, apply filters, or retouch photos. The review time varies by platform and request volume. While verification is pending, withdrawals may be held for approval. Do not create a second account or use someone else's documents to speed things up — this typically results in permanent account suspension.
Choose your withdrawal method
Common withdrawal methods on international online casino platforms include:
- Bank transfer or instant payment: many platforms support bank transfers or instant payment systems that process around the clock. For bank transfers, you provide your account details; for instant payment methods, you need a registered key (such as a national ID number, email, phone number, or a randomly generated key). Processing time through the platform can range from minutes to hours, but the total time includes internal approval and bank release.
- Digital wallet: some platforms accept e-wallets such as PayPal, Skrill, or Neteller. Verify that the wallet is registered in your name and accepts transfers from casino platforms.
- Cryptocurrency: if the platform supports it, you can withdraw to a personal crypto wallet. Make sure the network (e.g., TRC-20, ERC-20) matches what the platform uses.
Do not assume the method you used for deposit is automatically available for withdrawal. Check the withdrawal options on the platform and choose a method you personally control. Avoid requesting withdrawals to a third party's account, even a family member's: this can be flagged as potential money laundering activity and result in permanent account suspension.
How long does it take for the money to arrive?
Withdrawal time is not fixed and depends on several factors:
- Account verification: if documents are still pending, the withdrawal waits until KYC is approved.
- Security review: the platform may review transactions for fraud prevention, especially for large withdrawals or new accounts.
- Chosen method: instant payment methods may be faster than bank transfers, but the actual timeline includes the platform's internal processing and bank release.
- Time of request: withdrawals submitted outside business hours or on weekends may take longer to review.
- Bonus terms and rollover: if you accepted a bonus, there may be wagering requirements (rollover) that must be met before you can withdraw. Check the bonus terms before requesting a payout.
Avoid cancelling and re-requesting withdrawals repeatedly, as this can further delay the process. If the stated timeframe has passed and the money has not arrived, contact support through the official channel listed on the site. Have your transaction reference number, the date of the request, and your account verification confirmation ready.

The decision to withdraw should start with a verified account, a method you control, and a review of applicable terms.
