Explained
Nobody has timed a cash out in this market
Every withdrawal figure on this site was published by somebody else, and four of them were chosen by this network rather than published at all.
Comparison sites in this market print withdrawal times as though somebody had held a stopwatch. On this one, nobody has. Not one account has been opened, funded or emptied by anybody working on this publication, and every figure here is a claim made by an operator or repeated by an affiliate.
Three different kinds of number
The strongest is a figure the operator publishes in its own cashier, usually as a word rather than a duration: instant, in most cases instant, within twenty-four hours of the final result. Those are commitments a company made in public and can be held to.
The second is a figure recorded by somebody else and carried on the record, with the source attached. Weaker, and still traceable.
The third is not a source at all. Four records in this market carry a withdrawal figure that was chosen, set to the middle of the market so the record would not score like a blank. It looks exactly like the other two once it is in a column, and the shared model that produces the verdicts on this site grades it exactly as if a bookmaker had stated it.
Why that third kind is on the site rather than hidden
Because it affects published verdicts about real companies. The four are named on the table, on the log, on the payments hub and on each of their own reports, with the same sentence each time. A defect that is disclosed everywhere is survivable; the same defect known internally and printed nowhere is how a table stops being checkable.
What a reader should do with a withdrawal time
Treat the operator's own wording as a commitment and everything else as an indication. If a payout is slower than the cashier said, the cashier page is the thing to quote back, and it is worth screenshotting the wording before depositing rather than looking for it afterwards.
Questions this raises
- Why not just open accounts and time them?
- That would be the right answer and it has not been done. Until it has, this site says so on every page that carries a time, rather than implying otherwise through a strapline or a verb.
- Which figures are the chosen ones?
- They are named on the payments hub and on the log, and each of the four reports carries a warning box above the verdict. The names are not written into this guide, because a list typed into prose cannot follow the data when it changes.
