Payout speeds above vary by withdrawal method. Most sites support Interac, Visa, Mastercard, and bank transfer, though some operators offer e-wallets or cryptocurrency as well.

Payouts typically land within 24 hours, and there is no minimum cash out requirement, which is rare among AGCO-licensed operators. The platform also runs a daily cash back program for returning players. An EGR Operator Award winner, Casino Days accepts deposits via Interac, Visa, Mastercard, and Apple Pay.
