I requested my first £150 cash-out at 9.40pm on a Thursday and saw it in my PayPal balance at 11.15am on Friday. That was the fastest of the five requests I made over a fortnight. The slowest, a Mastercard debit payout, took four days. An 8Spin withdrawal passes through three stages: your request, a pending window at the casino, and the transfer by your payment provider. Once you know which stage is slow, you stop refreshing the cashier page.
How to start an 8Spin withdrawal
Log in, open the cashier and select Withdraw. Choose a method, enter an amount (the minimum is £10) and confirm with your password. An email confirmation arrived within a minute of each request, and the transaction appeared in my history marked Pending.
Withdraw to the method you deposited with. I paid in by Visa debit, tried to cash out to PayPal and got a rejection until I switched back to the card. Upload your photo ID and a proof of address, such as a bank statement under three months old, before your first request. My documents cleared in four hours, though support told me verification takes up to 24 hours when the queue is long.
8Spin withdrawal time
Every request waits in a pending window of up to 24 hours while the payments team reviews it. Mine cleared after 9, 14 and 21 hours. The longest wait came on a Friday: I submitted a request at 6pm and nobody touched it until 10am on Monday, because the team works Monday to Friday.
I timed five cash-outs to see how long 8Spin takes to withdraw, and the totals ranged from 13 hours to four days. Once 8Spin has processed your withdrawal, the status changes from Pending to Processed and the provider takes over. PayPal needed another 4 hours 35 minutes after that. My Mastercard needed three more days.
Available 8Spin withdrawal options
8Spin pays out to PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Visa and Mastercard debit cards, and UK bank accounts through Faster Payments. Credit cards do not appear in the cashier, because UK rules ban them for gambling. Cashing out to the same e-wallet each time helps: my second PayPal request cleared three hours faster than the first, with the account already on file.
8Spin withdrawal times by payment method
These figures come from my own requests and the notes in the 8Spin cashier. They include the pending window, and a bank holiday adds a working day.
Check your 8Spin withdrawal time
Open the cashier before you request, because it lists the expected time beside each method. Pending means the request sits with 8Spin. Processed means it sits with PayPal, your bank or your card issuer. A Cancel button appears next to pending requests. Leave it alone, because a reversed withdrawal returns to your balance and the next spin costs you one click.
Live chat answered in about two minutes when I asked about a request stuck at 30 hours, and the agent confirmed it was waiting on a document check. Upload your ID early, choose an e-wallet if speed matters, and gamble with money you can afford to lose.
