Who Rob Ford is
Rob Ford is the payout editor at Best Paying Online Casino. He runs the test-withdrawal programme that produces the speed data behind our Payout Score: 17 withdrawals requested between 6 and 27 October 2026, one per offshore casino, each timed from the moment of request to the moment the money arrived. Bitcoin came back in 25 minutes to an hour, e-wallets in 5 to 14 hours, Interac and Trustly in a day, Visa in 2 to 3 days.
He came to casino publishing from data reporting, where the drill was the same: take a table nobody has cleaned up, define what each column actually measures, and show the working. On this site that means a withdrawal time is never published without its method, its amount and the review step that sat in between.
He works from sources a reader can open: cashier and banking pages, terms and conditions, help-centre articles, in-game RTP screens and provincial regulator records. When an operator’s own page and a secondary source disagree, the operator wins and the conflict is noted on the page.
“A payout time with no method attached is not data. It is an anecdote with a stopwatch.”
Rob Ford, payout editor
What Rob covers
Four subjects carry most of his writing, and all four feed the same score.
Payout speed testing
Requests, waits and records. Every test names the method, the amount and the time from request to money received.
Withdrawal caps and cashier terms
Daily and monthly limits in C$, minimum withdrawals, fees, and the pending period before a request is even reviewed.
Bonus wagering maths
Turns 35x on the bonus, 35x on deposit plus bonus and 35x on the deposit into one comparable multiple before anything is scored.
RTP and game data
Which RTP version ships in which market, how the same slot can differ by jurisdiction, and where the published figure sits.
How a payout gets tested
The same four steps run on every casino, so the results can be compared without a footnote for each one.
Pick the method before the request
One method per test: Bitcoin, Skrill, Neteller, MiFinity, Interac, Trustly or Visa. The method is fixed in advance, never chosen afterwards to flatter a result.
Request a real withdrawal
€100 to €150 from a verified account, or C$100 for the Interac test from a Canadian-dollar account. No minimum-size tricks and no support shortcuts.
Start the clock at the request
The timer starts when the request goes in and stops when the money lands — not when the casino marks the request as paid.
Publish the band, not just the time
The result becomes speed points on fixed bands, weighted at 60% of the Payout Score. When two casinos tie, the faster test withdrawal ranks higher.
