What counts as a business day
Banks and card networks usually count Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays. If a payout is measured in business days, Saturday and Sunday do not count, and a holiday Monday adds another day. Wallets and crypto are not tied to this calendar.
The Friday problem
A request on Friday afternoon can end up behind a weekend of waiting, even if the casino approves it quickly. If your method uses business days, the earliest a payment can leave is often Monday, and arrival comes after that.
Cut-off times
Many banks and processors have a daily cut-off. A request approved after it may be treated as part of the next business day. The calculator takes your request time into account so that the date you see reflects this.
Holidays
Public holidays differ between countries and provinces, and the calculator does not know your local calendar. When a holiday is near, add a day or two to the result.
- Request early in the week for card and bank payouts.
- Use a wallet or crypto if a weekend is in the way.
- Add a day around public holidays.
- Remember that casino approval may also be slower at night or on weekends.
