Last Updated 2/1/2021 – 2021 Payouts & Cash Outs Update
- Bovada – Check payouts are taking about 48 hours to your door. This is after your cash out request is approved. Getting approved can take a bit of time if it is your first withdrawal. Keep in mind that only once per month you can get a Fedex overnight delivery – always deposit your check right away at your normal bank! I would not try and cash it at a gas station or check cashing place. Players get one check free per month Bovada will be encouraging you to utilize bitcoin. It’s easy to set up a wallet to receive BTC from Bovada and they pay out promptly. Usually within hours once your account is established. I wrote a bitcoin gambling wallet guide if you want to get set up (short answer is use Green Wallet from Blockstream.)
- Bet Online – Bitcoin cashouts preferred and take within 24 hours of request. Check payments take 4-5 days or so, which is consistent with previous months. They are pushing bitcoin for cash outs and deposits (as is the entire industry).
- Bookmaker – No more checks to anyone at Bookmaker – you need bitcoin or crypto to cash out (or in). Checks were taking 3-4 days but they are really pushing crypto. However they always pay lightning fast, with bitcoin to me on the first week of the month. Bitcoin payments are about 1 day on average and mine was within hours.
- MyBookie – My honest answer is that they pay, but it’s not as fast as the other sportsbooks. Slower pays here up to the end of the month but they manage to make payouts. Players are getting paid via check and crypto. Checks take about a week right now. This book is honestly somewhat of an enigma for me. Some months they pay out way sooner than other. Reports from the internet is that payouts are taking about a week. More details to come soon.

November 2018 – 11/2, 5Dimes paid (kinda) as they declined our bitcoin withdrawal because we didn’t answer the phone when they called us the first time. Then they had us re-try once we contacted them back. The re-try was working until their system flagged us for requesting more than one cashout in a 7 day period (sigh). We didn’t go through the hassle of trying to explain to them why we’ve requested a withdrawal twice within 7 days and just figured we would wait a little bit. Bookmaker in on 11/6. Betonline on 11/7 (very fast). Bovada on 11/20 which is on time for them.

Wow, bitcoin deposits are disabled at Intertops because of the high fee’s and network congestion. Come on Bitcoin, get your shit together and get Segwit or Lightning or whatever solution is in there in place to be able to USE bitcoin not just have a store of value (/endrant). Will update as details become clearer.
Changes In Payouts – Cash Outs in 2020 (Prediction)
Bitcoin and other crypto currencies are becoming the fastest, easiest and safest way to deposit and withdraw at one of the legit offshore sportsbooks available to most of the USA. If you are in the US then you are going to want to get properly set up with cryptocurrency for real money online gambling.
Bitcoin makes processing payments simple for the offshore bookmakers. And the offshore bookies are where you get your best value when betting (most of the time). The offshore guys have adopted crypto in big ways.
Not only has it become the most successful deposit method (with virtually 100% of the deposits being successful compared to about 50% success using credit card) it is becoming the preferred method of cashing out.
In some instances it has become the only method of cashing out. One of our players recently hit a parlay at the sportsbook at Americas Cardroom (sister site to bookmaker.eu who we promote here) for a little over $1000. They could only cash out with bitcoin.
Sportsbooks are moving to crypto to process payments. It began with affiliates and is being encouraged to players. Get familiar with bitcoin as it is has changed the online gambling marketplace. You can find my short list of legit bitcoin sportsbooks here.
You do not have ‘invest in bitcoin’ to use it to gamble online with. Once you are set up with a wallet and have an account on a ‘fiat exchange’ like Coinbase or Localbitcoins you can quickly buy bitcoin, send to your wallet and then deposit at an online sportsbook without holding your money in bitcoin format.
I have a handful of bitcoin gambling guides. Check these out:
- How To Buy Bitcoin For Gambling Safely – Step by step instructions
**Have you requested a cash out recently? Please leave a comment on this page with which sportsbook, which withdrawal method and how long it took to get the money in your hands. We and the other sports bettors thank you in advance! Thanks!
The above sportsbooks are on my short list. You win, they pay. Do not bet at the slow pay / no pay sportsbooks. There are sometimes delays in payments that happen, whenever Uncle Sam decides to come after processors in a big way, but these sites have been through it before, have weathered the storm and pay out. Period.
Obviously fast cashouts are always preferable to slow ones. When your money is out of reach, it’s as if you’re making an interest-free loan to someone. If you can avoid it, allowing it to happen is a bad business decision.
Finding the best sportsbooks online is challenging – we’ve done the work for you! Check it out!
We realize how difficult it is to find the fastest-paying online sportsbooks open to USA players. Below, we’ll point you to the books we use. First, let’s take a closer look at some of the reasons you should limit your betting activity to US-friendly sportsbooks with the quickest payouts.
What’s going on here with this payout report?
I get paid every month from most of these bookies. I report on when that payment comes in. Slow pays to me mean concerns for you.
A sportsbook is only as good as it’s last payout.
Only bet at the books that have consistently paid out. I update the text up above a couple of times each week. I also keep up with payout reports from the betting forums around the web as part of my job so I update back here when necessary.
4 Reasons To Seek The Fastest Sportsbook Payouts Possible
Your reasons for wanting quick access to your money might differ than ours. Or, they might be exactly the same. The important thing to remember is that some sports betting sites pay out faster than others. And they seem to do so on a consistent basis. Unless you have compelling reasons to place wagers at slow-paying books, it’s in your interest to make a switch.
Here’s why fast cash-outs are attractive to us (see if your own reasons dovetail with those below):
Stay Ready To Move On Favorable Lines
Imagine this scenario: you place most of your bets at two or three sportsbooks you’ve become accustomed to over the years. Most of your funds are held within your accounts. You’re locked in.
One day you stumble upon a book that offers everything you like to see in a sports betting site. And it has a stellar reputation to boot. You notice that the site offers several amazing lines, and want to take advantage of them before they shift. Unfortunately, your money is tied up in your other sportsbook accounts. There’s no way to gain access to it in time to fully leverage the odds you’ve stumbled upon.
This is a dilemma you’re likely to encounter at some point. In fact, you’ll probably confront it more than once. If your money is held at a sportsbook known for processing quick withdrawals, you’ll have a better chance of taking advantage of opportunities.
Maintain Spending Flexibility
There are countless things you might want – or need – to spend money on. For example, you might want to take a small vacation with your spouse. You may want to purchase the latest iPhone. Or perhaps your child is starting college and the first tuition payment is due. From buying coveted items for yourself to enjoying experiences with your family to paying for necessities (e.g. a new roof for your home), you want to have funds available.
Now suppose most of your discretionary income is contained in your sportsbook accounts. It might take weeks for you to gain access to it. In the meantime, you may be forced to put other expenditures on hold, some of which might need to be addressed immediately.
The more quickly you can obtain your funds, the better. Here, receiving fast sportsbook payouts can be a huge benefit.
Keep Your Money Productive
Ideally, your money should always be working for you. Whether you’re investing in stocks, building an emergency fund, or generating profits by betting on sports, idle funds represent a waste.
You can ensure your money stays productive by shortening the time frame between requesting a withdrawal and receiving your cashout. You’ll be able to put your funds to use more quickly and (hopefully) toward profitable ends.
Enjoy Peace Of Mind
No one enjoys the thought of giving up control of their funds. It’s unsettling. The only reason most of us feel comfortable leaving a considerable sum in our checking and savings accounts is because the funds are insured. Not so with the funds you keep in your sportsbook accounts.
When the high-profile poker sites Full Tilt and PokerStars were forced to close their doors to U.S. poker players in 2011, many people found their accounts frozen. They couldn’t access their money, which, in some cases, amounted to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Those issues have since been resolved, but they reveal a risk taken by U.S. sports bettors.
When you limit your betting activity to sportsbooks with the fastest payouts, you’ll have more peace of mind. In an emergency, you’ll be able to gain access to your funds more quickly.
Fast Sportsbook Cashouts And Payout Methods
The payment method you chose is going to greatly affect he speeds with which you receive your funds. Some methods are faster than others. For example, transfers such as those sent via person to person are usually the quickest option. By contrast, choosing to receive a check in the mail is typically the slowest. With a wire transfer, your funds are available within minutes. A check may take 3 to 4 weeks to arrive.
Bank wires are also relatively quick, at least in comparison to checks. You’ll usually receive your money within 5 or 6 days. Keep in mind it could take longer depending on holidays.
If wires take so little time compared to checks, why would anyone choose checks as their payout option? The reason involves fees. Wires tend to be expensive. If you’re in a bind and need cash quickly, paying the wire transfer fee may be worthwhile. Otherwise, it’s a very costly way to receive money that is already yours.
It’s important to note that there is often a fee to have a check sent out. But the fee is much smaller than the fee charged for a wire transfer. Moreover, depending on the circumstances, it may be waived by the sportsbook.
Even the fastest cash out sportsbooks won’t send your money to a credit card, even if you used the credit card to fund your account. Doing so is too problematic thanks to U.S. federal laws passed several years ago. (Sports bettors living in Europe are spared this inconvenience.)
How To Streamline Fast Payouts From USA Sportsbooks
You’re going to have to really prove your identity if you’re making a first time withdrawal in the United States. A lot of sports bettors become angry when the sportsbooks from which they’re cashing out ask them to present government-issued identification (driver’s license, I.D. card, etc.).
First, this requirement is normal. Nearly all sports betting sites do it. Second, despite the inconvenience, it’s actually encouraging that sportsbooks take steps to verify the identities of those to whom they’re sending money.
You can remove unnecessary obstacles to gain quick access to your cash by having the proper documents ready to fax or email over to the sports betting site. When they ask, be ready to accommodate them.
Where To Find Fast-Paying Sportsbooks

Today, we’re not going to talk about betting on Dota 2 online. Well, technically, we will be mentioning that a lot, but we’re mainly going to focus on how to find the best real money Dota 2 betting sites, their key characteristics, and factors that contribute to their overall reputation and quality.
Nowadays, esports betting sites come in all shapes and sizes, and some of them just won’t work out for you. For one reason or another, they’ll make your Dota 2 betting experience miserable, to the point of you wanting to quit your newfound hobby.
Betting on Dota 2 online is a form of art, and we’re not even exaggerating here. Real money Dota 2 betting sites require plenty of know-how to smoothly run their operations. That know-how is not just related to Dota 2 gameplay but its esports scene, top-tier teams, and in-form players. It takes more than trend recognition to properly assess the risks of online Dota 2 betting opportunities.
Some Dota 2 betting sites do it better than their counterparts. As a result, some are able to provide a much better esports betting experience, and it’s up to you to find them. If you’re just starting out, chances are you don’t know what to look for in Dota 2 betting websites… and that’s exactly where this guide comes into play!

What Makes Great Dota 2 Betting Sites?
Dota 2 betting platforms are all around us. If you Google something like “online Dota 2 betting,” the results will unveil a handful of options you can use for betting on Dota 2 matches. However, some (realistically, most) of these options aren’t going to suffice.
While Google is a great search engine, paid ads are commonplace, and all online sportsbooks that feature wagering on Dota 2 can pay to rank at the top spot.
Thanks to Google ads, the first result is usually paid for. If you’re aiming to get a proper Dota 2 betting experience, you should be reluctant about choosing the first site you see. But, if you’re just starting out your esports betting adventure, how can you tell good from bad Dota 2 betting sites?
Well, here’s a short bullet list containing the key virtues of Dota 2 betting websites that ought to help you separate the good from the bad:
Don’t Underestimate Massive Bonuses
Let’s start off with the factor that new esports betting enthusiasts appreciate the most—esports betting bonuses. Dota 2 betting sites, just like the majority of real money esports betting sites, offer bonuses to new accounts.
Fresh accounts get massive boosts to their bonus bankroll based on the amount of initial deposit. We’re talking about hefty money-based bonuses here, but money that you can’t cash out right away. As mentioned above, these bonuses are based on the initial deposit but are usually maxed out at a certain amount.
For example, the best real money Dota 2 betting sites may offer a 50% bonus up to $200. While they might seem really appealing, make sure you read the fine print because sports betting sites with Dota 2 odds have rigorous rollover rules that make it extremely hard to cash out that bonus money.
Payout Speed
How long should you wait to get the money you won by placing Dota 2 bets? Well, if you’re using top-tier Dota 2 betting sites, you’ll have to wait 48 to 72 hours. Of course, there’s a bunch of factors that greatly influence the waiting time. Everything from your bank, the bookie, the amount of money you’ve won, and your chosen payout method.
If you have to wait more than 72 hours for payouts of lesser amounts (under $1000), you should try looking for a different bookie. Perhaps that short list at the beginning of this article might do the trick!
Payment Options
These days, most Dota 2 betting sites offer a wide array of payment options to choose from. That’s the only way they can remain competitive in the harsh world of esports betting. But what are the most popular options that people use for placing bets on Dota 2?
Most of the time, we’re talking about all sorts of cards (Visa, Mastercard, and similar), online payment solutions (Skrill, EcoPayz, Neteller, Sofort, Moneta.ru, and similar), and cryptocurrencies. In the last few years, the latter seems to be the fastest-growing category. Esports betting enthusiasts love the simplicity, anonymity, and safety provided by cryptocurrencies like:
If you’re looking for that extra layer of anonymity, cryptocurrencies are the way to go. They’re easy to set up and don’t require virtually any tech knowledge. Cryptocurrencies being only for tech-savvy people is merely a myth…
Ease of Use
Now, this is a highly important factor, not just for Dota 2 betting sites but for all online betting platforms too. Ease of use represents everything from page-to-page fluidity, responsiveness, loading speed, the simplicity of user interface, and optimization of various on-page processes.

Dota 2 Betting Online Biggest Events
Valve still rules over Dota 2’s competitive season with an iron fist. Even though third-party event organizers are in charge of the Majors and Minors, it’s Valve who sets the rules and ensures everything goes as smooth as possible.
The Internationals, the biggest esports events known to mankind, are still fully ran by Valve and no one but Valve. These $30+ million events are widely popular in Dota 2 betting circles. If someone you know likes wagering on Dota 2, chances are he/she became a fan during one of these events.
However, besides The Internationals, a ton of Dota 2 betting enthusiasts swear by Minors and Majors, too. The latter is of great importance, basically deciding a portion of TI competitors.
Dota 2 Minors
Dota 2 Pro Circuit brings a different format every year. The 2021 DPC season will have the top two teams advancing to the playoffs, and teams can drop players all the way until the final Minor begins. If you’re a fan of the lesser-known teams, the next season may just be your chance to shine.
Dota 2 Majors
Every DPC season features several Majors that pack some ofF the toughest Dota 2 teams and present $1 million in prize money each. Not only do these events mean a lot to the overall Dota Pro Circuit standing (due to the amount of DPC points they splash out), but also because most Dota 2 betting enthusiasts hone their skills on these events.
As mentioned above, Majors pack quite the punch in terms of team quality, which is why esports bettors love placing bets on Dota 2 Majors matches while they’re on. Still, Majors aren’t the most popular event type in the Dota 2 spectrum. That spot belongs to the one and only, The International!
The Internationals
The International is an annual event that usually takes place sometime in August. It lasts several days and showcases the bread and butter of Dota 2’s professional competitive season. This includes not only the best teams in the world but also some of the hottest in-game and Dota 2 betting action out there.
There’s a whole heap of money on the line, and where there’s money, there are always people wanting to bet on it. It’s as simple as that! The latest TI event awarded close to $35 million in prize money, which is the largest prize pool in the history of esports.
Yep, you could say this event is quite a big deal… And if you’re somewhat serious about Dota 2 betting online, you should test your luck during The Internationals! Dota 2 betting sites have the best specials during TIs.
Most Common Dota 2 Special Bets
Yep, just regular bookies, esports betting sites offer a wide array of special bets. In addition to conventional match-winner bets, the best Dota 2 betting sites go out of their way to provide their users with other wager types.
Team to Draw First Blood
Pretty self-explanatory, you’re betting on the team that has to take the first kill of the match. Some bookies even go into more depth, featuring the player to draw first blood. These sorts of specials are mostly available during the final stage of The Internationals and offer immensely high odds.
Player With Most Kills
You think you can correctly predict who’s going to be the best player in a match on a consistent basis? Well, then player with most kills is right up your alley! Yes, I know having the most kills doesn’t make you the best player in a match every time, but it’s almost always the case.
Match Duration
Bookies give you an average match duration (in minutes), and you’re supposed to guess whether the match will last shorter or longer than the specified time. The bookie’s specified match duration is always the definite average, meaning you’ll get roughly the same odds on both ends.
Team to Destroy First Barracks/Tower
This type of special is present with both Dota 2 and League of Legends. Both games belong to the MOBA genre and they both have barracks/inhibitors, towers/turrets, with nomenclature being among the few differences. As the name suggests, you’re betting on the team that’ll destroy the given in-game object.
Dota 2 Betting FAQ
Dota 2 skin betting has been around for as long as the skins themselves. It’s a different form of betting on Dota 2 that doesn’t involve real money but in-game skins on Steam. These skins are obtainable within the game, and can be traded or purchased via the Steam Community Market. They have real money value, which makes them the perfect link in the shady business of skin betting.Why exactly is this business so shady? Well, for starters, skin betting was never legit. It was always somewhere in the gray area, managing to avoid international regulations or bypass the rules in witty ways. But that’s not even the biggest problem. The biggest problem was the facilitation of online betting to minors. A big portion of Dota 2 players are still minors, and allowing an easy way for them to bet their skins on Dota 2 matches was a huge no-no in the eyes of international online gambling regulators.
On a brighter note, most of the popular skin betting sites are not operating anymore after a few cease and desist letters sent by Valve back in 2016. Still a small portion of them remain active. They found a way to bypass the regulations and still offer skin betting to their users, although with a bit more regulation in the ordeal.
