Redemption methods

The ways operators say they pay out. A method appears against an operator here only when that operator’s own documentation names it — not because the method is common in the industry, and not because a comparison site says so.

Bank transfer (ACH)

2 operators

A direct transfer to a bank account. Settlement is controlled by the banking system as well as the operator, so a delay can originate at either end.

Crypto

1 operator

Payout in a cryptocurrency. Recorded here only where an operator's own documentation states it is offered.

Gift card

8 operators

A retailer or prepaid card issued instead of cash. It is a different product from a cash redemption, with its own terms, and its minimum is recorded separately.

Instant bank transfer

2 operators

A push payment to a bank account. Availability depends on the receiving bank, and 'instant' describes the transfer once sent, not the operator's approval step before it.

MassPay

1 operator

A payout made through MassPay. It is recorded under its own name, as the operator names it.

Method not specified by the operator

8 operators

The operator documents a redemption but does not name the payment method used to deliver it. We record that as unspecified rather than guessing.

Payment method used to buy coins

1 operator

Cash paid back to the payment method used to buy coins. Where the operator states an alternative for when that is not possible, the operator's profile shows it.

Prepaid virtual card

1 operator

A prepaid virtual card, delivered by email where the operator says so. It is recorded separately from gift cards when the operator describes it as prepaid rather than as a gift card.

Prizeout

1 operator

A payout made through Prizeout. It is recorded under its own name, as the operator names it.

Skrill

3 operators

A transfer to a Skrill wallet. Regional availability varies.

Trustly

1 operator

A bank payment made through Trustly. It is recorded under Trustly's name, as the operator names it, rather than as a generic bank transfer.

Methods with nothing on record

These methods are common in the industry, but no operator documentation we have been able to read names them. Their absence here is a gap in our evidence, not a finding that no operator offers them.

  • Bank account — A payment to a bank account where the operator does not name the transfer type. It is recorded as a bank account rather than guessed as ACH or an instant transfer.
  • Debit card — A payout pushed back to a debit card. Any limit on it is the operator's own, and is recorded here only where the operator states one.
  • PayPal — A transfer to a wallet account. The wallet's own holds and limits apply on top of the operator's.
  • Cheque by mail — A physical cheque. The postal leg is not under the operator's control, so a published processing time does not cover it.

Where an operator offers several methods with different minimums, fees or timings, those differences are recorded per method on the operator’s own profile and never averaged across methods. See published against observed timing.
