Finally got my first withdrawal approved - timeline and tips

So I've been playing at a couple different sweeps casinos for about three months now, mostly just messing around with the free credits and small deposits. Last week I actually hit something decent and decided to cash out instead of just spinning it back into the games like I usually do.

I submitted my withdrawal request on a Tuesday afternoon and honestly wasn't sure what to expect. I'd read some threads here about people waiting weeks, so I was prepared for the long haul. But I got my payout approved by Friday morning - it went to my debit card and showed up in my account by Monday.

Total time from request to cash in hand was about 6 days. The casino asked for ID verification and proof of address, which I had ready since I'd already done KYC stuff when I signed up. I think that actually sped things up.

I'm still pretty new to all this so I'm curious what other people's experiences have been. Does the payout time vary a lot between casinos? And are there withdrawal methods that tend to process faster than others? I used debit card this time but wondering if I should try something different next time.

Also just want to say - definitely don't go in expecting to win. I got lucky, but I'm being smart about what I do with this money and not putting it right back into the games.
