New here, say hello and what you actually play

Post by lou_spins »

Been lurking a couple of weeks and figured I should actually say hello rather than just reading everyone's payout sagas.

So. Hi. Lou, up near Leeds, casual weekend player, mostly slots and the odd bit of blackjack when I'm feeling brave. I came here off the back of trying to work out which sites actually pay out next day rather than faffing about for a week, and you lot seem to know your stuff on that.

Mostly debit card, dipping a toe into Open Banking because someone on here swore by it for faster cashouts.

What does everyone else play day to day? And is anyone purely a table games person or is it slots all the way for most of you?

Hiya Lou, welcome :)

Slots all the way for me, the name's not subtle. I'm hopeless at anything with actual decisions in it, blackjack stresses me out, all that should-I-shouldn't-I. Give me a spin button and a cuppa and I'm sorted.

Leeds represent and all, I'm over Bradford way. Stick around, the payout threads on here genuinely saved me from a couple of dodgy sites last year.

Welcome aboard.

Word of advice from an old hand, since you mentioned next-day payouts. The site matters less than getting your KYC done the day you sign up. Photo ID, proof of address, all of it, before you've even won anything. Most of the delays people moan about aren't the casino being slow to pay, it's documents not being verified.

UKGC sites are decent on this generally. Get verified early and Open Banking cashouts are usually quick. I'm tables mostly, bit of roulette, but I'll have a slot now and then.

Welcome Lou.

Mix of both for me but I come at it from the value angle, so I'm always reading the wagering before I touch a welcome offer. 35x is about my ceiling, anything north of that and the bonus is basically decoration.

If you're a casual weekend player honestly you might be better off ignoring bonuses entirely and just playing your own money on a quick-paying site. Less hassle, no playthrough hanging over you.

Alright Lou. Welcome.

I'm the resident bore on withdrawal times so you've come to the right thread. Open Banking has been the fastest for me by a mile, had a cashout land in under two hours on one site. E-wallets are a close second. Debit card is fine but it's the one that's most likely to take a working day or two.
