About Signpost
We time casino withdrawals and publish what the clock said. This page covers who does that, how the site is paid for, and where our limits are.
What This Site Is For
Almost every casino advertises fast withdrawals. Very few say what they mean by it, and the word stretches from a nine minute approval to a three day wait behind a manual review. We exist to put a number on it.
The claim we make is narrow. For the sites marked as timed, we opened an account, deposited our own money, requested a withdrawal and recorded when it was approved. Where we have not done that, the row says not timed rather than filling the gap with an estimate. Nine of the fourteen sites on the board currently say not timed, and we would rather publish that than pad it.
Who Writes It
The board and the reviews are kept by Marianne Whitlock, our payments editor. She opens the accounts, funds them, submits the withdrawals and logs the timestamps shown on the board. Where a figure came from an operator's own terms rather than from a test she ran, the page says so.
We are not licensed advisors of any kind, we do not offer gambling advice, and nothing here is a recommendation to gamble.
How the Site Is Funded
Commission. When you follow a link from this site to a casino and open an account, the operator pays us. That is the whole model and it is disclosed on every page carrying a link, not buried here.
Commercial terms are also one of the inputs to the order of the main board, alongside each operator's published welcome terms. They never change a figure on a row: offers, wagering and recorded approval times are shown as they are. Commission also affects which casinos appear at all: we can only list operators that run an affiliate programme, so read this as a comparison of the sites we can cover rather than of every casino that exists. The advertising disclosure sets that out in full.
Our Limits, Stated Plainly
- None of the operators here is licensed in the United Kingdom. They are not regulated by the UK Gambling Commission, GAMSTOP self exclusion does not cover them, and the Gambling Commission complaints route is not available to you.
- Five recorded times is a small sample. Each is a single test on a weekday with verification already complete. It shows what a site is capable of, not what it guarantees.
- Terms change without telling us. Caps, wagering and offers are checked at the date on each page and can move the day after.
If something here is out of date or wrong, tell us at editor@signpost-online.co.uk and we will correct it. The editorial policy covers how.
