Payout claims
How we treat payout claims: three levels, never mixed
Every payout claim we make rests on one of three things: a clause the casino printed, a withdrawal we made with our own money, or nothing we could check. Our own money stands behind exactly two accounts, Vave on 28 August 2026 and TrustDice in May 2026.
Rocketpot says it will process withdrawals within 72 hours. We have never withdrawn anything from Rocketpot. Both statements are true, and a payout claim that does not tell them apart is no help to a player choosing where to go after Duelbits. So every payout claim we make stands on one of three levels, and we always say which.
Level one: the casino printed it
A figure with a clause number beside it, in a document the casino publishes, read on a date we record.
Almost every number on our pages sits here. Rocketpot's 72 hours at clause 11.3. Jackbit's one day at clause 12. Wild Fortune's three-part ceiling at clause 11.8: €1,000 a day, €5,000 in a rolling seven days and €15,000 a month. Bitcasino.io's ID threshold of €2,500 at clause 6.6. BitStarz's 40× wagering at clause 3.4. Each is a commitment the operator wrote down, and anyone can check it by opening the same document.
What level one proves is narrow and real: the casino said so. It does not prove the casino does so. A printed window is a promise about a queue, not a measurement of one. Watch the starting point as well: Wild Fortune's 72 hours at clause 11.6 run from approval, not from your request, and approval is where document checks happen.
Level one also varies in freshness. Of the 100 operators whose terms we set out to read on 26 August 2026, 38 opened live, 41 were read from archived copies of their own pages and 21 did not open at all. A clause quoted from an archived copy is still the operator's own text, and we mark it as archived because a document can change after the snapshot.
Level two: our own money
We deposited, played, asked for a withdrawal and watched what happened. We have done this twice, and neither time at Duelbits.
Vave, 28 August 2026. We deposited, played and withdrew, and Vave requested no ID up to 5,000 USDT. We did not record a withdrawal time, so no duration comes out of this test. Vave is our advertiser and the only paid placement on the site, which is exactly why we report this test as a date and a figure and nothing more. Vave's own terms, read on 25 August 2026, reserve verification at its discretion before any payout (clause 8.7) and allow instalments over up to thirty days above 50,000 USDT (clause 8.8).
TrustDice, May 2026. We deposited USDT and played over several weeks. Crypto withdrawals arrived in 10 to 15 minutes each, with no ID requested until withdrawals reached about 5,000 USDT in total. The next withdrawal went to payment under review. Compliance then emailed a Veriff link; our driving licence was rejected, and our passport passed on the fifth attempt. After that, TrustDice asked for the documents a second time, by email.
That is one account, in one period, at one casino. It is not a rule, it can change without notice, and it says nothing about any other operator. We write it out in full so that nobody mistakes it for a general payout speed.
No one on our team has deposited at Duelbits. We opened no account there, requested no withdrawal and hold no payout screenshot. Beyond its public front page, captured on 26 August 2026, what we know of its payment rules comes from its own help centre and terms as archived by the Wayback Machine, each with its archive date.
Level three: unknown
Nobody on our team read the document, or the document did not open.
This is the largest level by far. Of the 100 operators, 51 have no ID wording on record with us, 70 have no coin list and 86 have no published withdrawal ceiling. Those gaps describe our reading, not the casinos: an operator missing from our coin list may well publish one.
We write these gaps out in words instead of leaving blank cells, because a blank invites a reader to fill it from somewhere else, and that somewhere is usually a review site. The questions Duelbits' own documents leave open are listed on what we could not verify.
Why the three levels are never added
Scoring level one and level three together rewards silence. If an unread answer scores zero, a casino loses points for something we never checked. If it is skipped instead, a casino that publishes nothing wins by default. Neither is a measurement.
Treating level two as a property of a brand overclaims. One timed payout is evidence about one account on one day. It does not turn into “TrustDice pays in 15 minutes” for every player.
A figure with no level at all is the worst case, because it looks like the others. A number that exists only in someone else's table has no clause, no document and no date, and neither you nor the person who printed it can check it.
Homepage claims and review-site numbers
Several casinos advertise a payout time on their homepage and print none in their terms. Rainbet's five to fifteen minutes is the clearest case; section 8 of its own terms sets no time. We record the homepage line as the casino's claim, never as a measured duration.
Review sites are left out entirely, for a concrete reason. We once held a weekly withdrawal ceiling of $25,000 for Jackbit, taken from a third-party review. Jackbit's own clause 12 says $10,000 per seven days and $20,000 per thirty days, with a separate instalment rule above $20,000. The review figure described a rule that does not exist, and it survived until someone opened the clause.
Three questions for any payout number
Whenever you see a payout figure, here or anywhere else, ask three things in order:
- Which document is it in?
- Which clause?
- On what date was that document read?
If all three have answers, the figure is level one and you can check it. If it is described as our own experience, it names the account and the date, and there are only two of those. If none of that is there, treat the number as unknown.
The printed windows themselves, with their starting points, are compared on withdrawal times compared. Everything we have deliberately not tested is listed on what we have not tested. And when you weigh up casinos like Duelbits, these three levels are the fastest way to tell a promise from a measurement.
