Online casino players want fast withdrawals. E-wallets provide a solution with near-instant processing, high security, and user-friendly access. These digital wallets allow players to receive winnings quickly without relying on traditional banking methods, which can take days.
Many e-wallets process withdrawals in minutes, not hours. The best options support instant transfers, ensuring you can access your funds as soon as the casino approves the transaction. But which e-wallets offer the fastest withdrawals?
This guide explores the top e-wallets for online casino withdrawals, their advantages, and why they are the preferred choice for players worldwide.
What are e-wallets?
E-wallets, or electronic wallets, are a relatively new payment method designed for easier, faster and more secure online transactions. They enable users to make contactless payments using their smart device and can also safely store digital coupons, tickets, identity cards such as driver’s licences and even airline boarding passes.
Essentially, whenever you see people using their phone to scan themselves into a sporting or entertainment venue, that is an Apple Wallet or Google Wallet – for example – at work. Due to their convenience and security, they are also quickly becoming a preferred payment method in the world of online gaming.
Using e-wallets for casino gaming
E-wallets will typically require either a passcode, or face or touch identification to authorise payments. They offer very quick, usually instant, transactions which means, when it comes to online gaming, you can add funds to your account whenever you need to and also reliably make a fast withdrawal online casino in Canada or wherever else where the wallet is available. Here, we have listed some of our go-to favourites and the advantages of using them:
Best e-wallets for casino gaming
PayPal
PayPal has evolved since it first launched way back in 1999 from what was a simple money transfer system into an all-encompassing e-commerce service. Such is its prominence, you’ll see it sat next to major debit and credit cards as an option on online payment screens.
Few platforms are as secure as PayPal with its high-end data encryption and 24/7 fraud protection features ensuring that all deposits and withdrawals are genuine and made by you.
Apple Pay
Anyone who owns an iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple Watch will see the built-in Wallet app on the Home screen. This can be used to store tickets, coupons and passes but you can also enable Apple Pay and essentially have your device act as your debit or credit card.
In terms of receiving money, the funds withdrawn – from a casino site in this case – are added to your Apple Cash balance, available for future Apple Pay purchases, to send to friends, or to transfer to your bank account.
Google Pay
Google Pay is essentially the Android equivalent of Apple Pay and comes with many of the same features. Given you can access your account whenever you have a Chrome browser open, you can make withdrawals and see those funds added to your balance in a couple of clicks.
Any modern Android device which supports near-field communication (NFC) can utilise Google Pay.
Skrill
Skrill has been a popular e-wallet for some time, in part due to it providing users with a prepaid Mastercard – meaning that you can make withdrawals at ATMs from your Skrill account, as well as make purchases.
It’s also a very well-known name in the online gaming sphere and is widely offered as a means of depositing and withdrawing – its own website describes how the wallet makes “hassle-free, fast online payments” with “thousands of online stores including gambling sites”.
