Caps, fees and instalments
Getting a win out: what the operators publish about paying you
What a win is worth depends on what the operator has written down about paying it out: the cap per period, the instalment rule for large sums, the wagering on the deposit and the fees along the road. Here they stand with clause numbers and dates of reading.
A win is only worth what actually reaches your wallet. Between the balance on the screen and the money in your hand stand a handful of clauses the operators have written themselves: a cap on what may leave in a week, a rule for splitting large sums, a requirement that the deposit be staked first, and a few fees. This page gathers what the operators in our ranking publish about all four, with clause numbers and the day each document was read.
We give no advice about what to do with a win once it has arrived. What we show is what the operator has committed itself to in writing, so that you can read the same lines yourself before you deposit.
The cap per period
The cap is the clause that most often surprises a player with a large win. It says nothing about how quickly a payout is handled; it says how much may leave during a day, a week or a month.
- Wild Fortune has three levels in the same clause: at most 1,000 € a day, 5,000 € a week and 15,000 € a month (cl. 11.8).
- Wolfbet has two: 8,000 USD a week and 30,000 USD a calendar month, unless something else has been agreed (cl. 15 para. 5).
- Thunderpick has one, and it is the highest in the list stated in euro: 100,000 € a week (cl. 6.12).
- Bitcasino.io does not cap the request itself but the pace of payment, at 1 million USDT a week for large amounts (cl. 6.10).
- Vave sets no cap per period at all (cl. 8.8).
- Rainbet states no cap per period; what it does state is a minimum, 15 US$ per transaction (cl. 8.1).
A small withdrawal never meets these numbers. A large one does, and then the difference between the operators is a matter of weeks. Compare the caps before you stake, rather than after a win.
Instalments on large wins
Where a cap does not exist, an instalment rule often does. It lets the operator pay a large win in parts rather than all at once.
Rocketpot writes the clearest version: a win of 5,000 USD or more leaves at no more than 5,000 USD a month (cl. 11.5). Vave has no cap per period but reserves the right, in exceptional cases, to pay wins from 50,000 USDT in equal parts. Metaspins allows monthly instalments where the payment method limits the amount, without naming a figure (cl. 12.5). Bitsler may split a large withdrawal or pay it in BTC, ETH or USDT (cl. 8.13).
None of these rules is hidden; all four sit in the ordinary terms. What they have in common is that they only bite above a level most accounts never reach, which is why they are so easy to skip past when reading.
The wagering that comes first
Before a cap or an instalment rule applies at all, the deposit itself may have to be staked. This applies whether or not you took a bonus, and it is counted on the deposit rather than on the win.
Vave requires the deposit to be wagered three times on casino and live casino, or once on sport (cl. 8.11). The same threefold requirement stands at Rocketpot (cl. 11.2) and Wild Fortune (cl. 9.7). A single wagering is enough at Bitcasino.io (cl. 6.4), Metaspins (cl. 4.2), Rainbet (cl. 8.7) and Bitsler (cl. 8.13). Shuffle.com has the single requirement too, but drops it for a crypto withdrawal to the wallet and network the deposit came from (cl. 10.2).
Two operators raise the requirement where they suspect the account is being used as an exchange service: to five times at Bitcasino.io (cl. 6.8) and at Rocketpot (cl. 12.6). If a bonus is running, the bonus's own requirement comes on top, and how to count that is set out in the guide to bonus rules.
The fees that are written out
Most fees are shown in the cashier at the moment of the withdrawal and appear nowhere in the terms. Three operators do write something down, and all three concern the same thing: a bank standing between the operator and you.
- Wild Fortune allows intermediary banks to charge in exceptional cases, capped at the equivalent of 16 € (cl. 11.11).
- Vave caps the same kind of fee at 16 USDT (cl. 8.6), and takes 12.5 € for moving the balance out when an account is closed (cl. 8.10).
- Shuffle.com names no amount but undertakes to show any fee before you confirm the withdrawal (cl. 10.7).
For a large win these numbers are trivial. For a small one they are not, which is why they are gone through together with the minimum amounts on the page about small deposits.
Who is actually paying you
Brand, company and licence are three different things. A brand is run by a company, the company can be registered in one country and licensed in another, and it is the company that is your contracting party. That matters most on the day a payout is disputed.
A few examples from the ranking show the shape of it:
- Vave is run by Latcas B.V. under licence OGL/2024/1676/0905 from the Curaçao Gaming Authority, active since 19 May 2025.
- Bitcasino.io gives Moon Technologies B.V. and a licence from Curaçao, OGL/2023/111/0069.
- Wild Fortune is run by Metlait SRL, a company registered in Costa Rica, under licence ALSI-202509073-FI2 from Anjouan, which expires on 29 September 2026.
- Metaspins stands in the terms as 3-102-959384 SRL — the firm is a company number from Costa Rica. The number in the terms comes from Anjouan, but the Curaçao register holds Metaspins N.V.
- Wild.io shows two companies: Nonce Gaming B.V. on the certificate and Stack Gaming Ltd in its own terms.
Here is how to establish it yourself:
- Read the first clause of the operator's terms, where the company name and often its country of registration stand.
- Look the domain or the company name up in the register of the authority that issued the licence, for instance cert.cga.cw for Curaçao.
- Note both the country of the company and the country of the licence, with the date.
- Keep a screenshot of the register entry and of the terms.
How the registers work and what an entry shows is gone through on the page about Malta, Curaçao and Anjouan.
What to keep about a win
Whatever you later need to do with the figures, the same short list of details makes it possible:
- The company's name and country of registration, as they stand in the terms.
- The licence number and the authority, with a printout from the register.
- The amounts and dates of the wins and the withdrawals.
- The account history or transaction list from the site.
- The terms in the version you accepted when the account was opened.
The clearer the counterparty is described, the easier any later question becomes. Company and licence for every casino in the list are in the fact boxes of the comparison.
The review that stands before all of it
A cap decides how much may leave. A review decides whether anything leaves at all. Almost every operator in the ranking reserves the right to ask for identity documents before a payout, and the moment differs: Vave before every payout with 14 days to answer (cl. 8.7), Bitcasino.io above 2,500 € (cl. 6.6), Rainbet at the withdrawal with three days to hand documents in (cl. 20.1).
That is why the identity clause carries four of the five criteria in our ordering. The clause, the amount and the deadline are gone through operator by operator on the page about identity checks, and what a withdrawal otherwise waits on is on the page about withdrawal pace.
Where the figures come from
Every number on this page comes from an operator's own terms, read between 24 August and 12 September 2026. The register entries behind the company names were read between 8 and 13 September 2026, and each address with its day of reading stands in the list of registers and dates. How we weigh a register against an operator's own text is under how the desk works.
What the operators in the ranking offer beyond the payout clauses is summed up in the ranking on the front page.
