About Casinospayments.org

Casinospayments.org exists because of a gap that annoyed us. Plenty of sites will tell you which casino to join. Very few will tell you what happens when you try to put money in, and almost none will tell you what happens when you try to take it back out.

So that is the whole remit here. One subject, covered properly: how money moves between a player and an online casino. Deposit routes, payout routes, the rails that only work in one direction, fees that appear at the wallet rather than the cashier, minimums, ceilings, and the wait between clicking withdraw and seeing the money.

What the site covers

We publish for nineteen European markets, and each one gets its own pages rather than a translated copy of somebody else's. That matters more in payments than in almost any other topic. A Dutch player reaches for iDEAL, a Pole for BLIK, a Swede for Swish, a Brit for a debit card or an e-wallet. A single "best payment methods" list written once and pushed everywhere would be wrong in eighteen places out of nineteen.

Each market has a hub page covering every rail available there, and a set of deeper pages on the individual methods that market actually uses. The hub compares; the method pages go into limits, fees, verification and which operators support them.

Who writes it

Miles Thornbury runs the editorial side and writes the payment coverage across the domain. Nine years of it, all pointed at the same corner of the industry: cashier pages, payout queues, verification policies and the gap between what an operator advertises and what the money actually does. You will find his name on the byline of every page here, and his address at the bottom of this one.

There is no anonymous team behind that byline and no panel of unnamed experts. One person writes it, which keeps the standard consistent and makes it obvious who to argue with.

How the site is funded

Some of the links on this site are affiliate links. If you open an account through one, we may be paid a commission, and it costs you nothing extra. That arrangement pays for the research and the hosting, and it is worth being blunt about what it does not do: it does not buy a place on a list, it does not move a score, and it does not stop us writing that a cashier is one-way, slow or expensive.

Not every operator we cover has a commercial arrangement with us. Several of the casinos named in our articles carry no link at all, because they earned the mention and there was nothing to sell.

What we do not do

We do not hold a gambling licence, take deposits, run games or process a single payment. We are a comparison site. Anything you read here about a cashier is an observation of somebody else's product, and the operator's own terms always outrank our summary of them.

We also do not claim to be current in real time. Payment providers get dropped, added and repriced without notice. Where a page states a limit or a timescale, that is what was verified in the most recent review cycle, and the cashier page is always the final word.

Getting in touch

Corrections are genuinely welcome, especially from players who have just been through a payout we described. Write to miles@casinospayments.org, or use the contact page, and tell us which page and which figure. If you are right, the page changes.
