When you've had a good run and want to access your winnings, we want the process to feel as clear and secure as possible. At FatPirate Casino, we've built our cash-out process around transparency — so you always know what to expect, what's required of you, and roughly how long things will take. No surprises, no hidden steps. Just a straightforward path from your balance to your bank.
How FatPirate Casino Withdrawals Work
Initiating a cash-out is handled entirely through your account's cashier section. The steps are consistent whether you're withdrawing for the first time or the fifteenth. Here's how it works in practice:
- Log in to your account — Head to the FatPirate Casino website and sign in using your registered credentials.
- Go to the Cashier — Once logged in, navigate to the cashier or banking section. This is where all deposit and withdrawal activity takes place.
- Select 'Withdraw' — Choose the withdrawal option and pick your preferred payment method from those available on your account.
- Enter the amount — Input how much you'd like to withdraw. Make sure the figure falls within the applicable minimum and maximum limits for your chosen method.
- Confirm the request — Review the details and submit. You may receive a confirmation by email once the request has been logged.
- Wait for processing — Your request will move through our internal review queue before being sent to your payment provider. Timelines vary by method and are covered in the next section.
It's worth checking your account is fully verified before submitting a withdrawal. Unverified accounts may face delays or holds until the necessary checks are completed. If you're unsure about your verification status, our support team can confirm it quickly.

Withdrawal Methods & Processing Times
We currently support the following withdrawal methods for players in the UK and other eligible regions. Each comes with its own realistic processing window, and we'd rather be upfront about those timelines than overpromise.
Visa
Visa card withdrawals are one of the most familiar options available. Once we've completed our internal processing — which typically takes up to 24–72 hours — funds are sent back to your card. From that point, your bank may take an additional 3 to 5 business days to credit the amount. This means the full end-to-end timeline for a Visa withdrawal can range from a few days to just over a week in some cases. Weekend requests may take slightly longer due to banking schedules outside our control.
Mastercard
Mastercard operates under a very similar framework to Visa. Our internal processing time remains the same — up to 24–72 hours — and your card issuer will then apply their own clearing timelines, typically 3 to 5 business days. Some UK banks have specific policies regarding inbound card refunds, so if you notice a delay, it's always worth checking with your bank before raising a query with us. That said, we're here if you need us.
Skrill
Skrill is generally the faster option among our supported methods. As a digital e-wallet, it bypasses the standard bank clearing process. Once our internal review is complete, Skrill transactions are typically credited to your Skrill account more quickly than card-based withdrawals. If you plan to withdraw frequently, setting up Skrill can make the overall experience noticeably smoother.
A few points worth keeping in mind across all methods:
- Processing times quoted are estimates, not guarantees. Exceptional circumstances — including fraud checks or high withdrawal volumes — can extend timelines.
- The method you withdraw to must generally match the one used for your deposit, subject to our verification and compliance requirements.
- If a method becomes unavailable, our support team will advise on alternatives.
Limits, Fees & Conditions
Understanding the boundaries around withdrawals helps you plan more effectively. Here's what you need to know.
Withdrawal Limits
We apply both minimum and maximum limits to withdrawals. Specific figures can be found within the cashier section of your account, as limits may vary depending on your payment method and account status. We'd encourage you to check these before placing a withdrawal request to avoid any unnecessary rejections or partial payments.
Fees
FatPirate Casino does not typically charge fees on withdrawals from our end. However, your payment provider — particularly card issuers — may apply their own transaction fees or currency conversion charges. This is outside our control, so it's worth reviewing your provider's terms if you're unsure what to expect on their side.
Bonus-Related Conditions
If you've claimed a bonus, there are wagering requirements that must be met before any associated funds become withdrawable. Specifically:
- The cash bonus from our welcome offer carries a 35x wagering requirement on the combined deposit and bonus amount.
- Free spins winnings are subject to a 40x wagering requirement before they can be cashed out.
Attempting to withdraw before these conditions are satisfied may result in bonus funds being forfeited. If you're ever unsure whether your wagering requirements have been cleared, check your account dashboard or contact our support team for a clear answer.
Verification & Account Compliance
Before we can process a withdrawal, we're required to confirm that the account belongs to you and that your details are accurate. This process — commonly referred to as KYC, or Know Your Customer — is a legal requirement under responsible gambling and anti-money laundering regulations. It's not a hurdle we've created to slow things down; it exists to protect your funds and prevent fraudulent use of your account.
FatPirate Casino operates under a licence issued in Costa Rica. As part of our compliance obligations, we may request documentation before releasing funds. While our registration process does not mandate document submission upfront, verification is typically required at the point of a significant withdrawal or when flagged by our compliance systems.
Documents that are commonly requested include:
- Proof of identity — A valid passport, driving licence, or national ID card.
- Proof of address — A recent utility bill or bank statement dated within the last three months.
- Proof of payment method — Confirmation that the card or e-wallet account belongs to you.
Submitting these documents promptly is the single most effective way to avoid delays on your withdrawal. We review submissions as quickly as possible, and once verified, your account status is retained so future withdrawals aren't held up by the same checks.
If you'd like to get ahead of this process, Verify Your Account before your next withdrawal request.
Common Questions About Cashing Out
Will my withdrawal be delayed at weekends?
Our internal processing runs throughout the week, but banking institutions and card networks operate on standard business hours. Withdrawals submitted over the weekend may not be actioned by your bank until the following Monday or Tuesday. E-wallet options like Skrill are generally less affected by this.
Can I withdraw if I still have an active bonus?
If you have bonus funds or free spins winnings that haven't met the required wagering threshold, those specific funds won't be available for withdrawal. Real money balances that are clearly separated from bonus funds may still be accessible. Check your account balance breakdown for clarity.
What if my withdrawal is declined or stuck?
There are a few reasons a withdrawal might be held — pending verification, unmet wagering requirements, or a mismatch between your deposit and withdrawal methods are the most common. If your request seems stuck or you receive no update within the expected window, get in touch with us directly.
How do I contact support about a withdrawal?
Our support team is available around the clock — 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — via live chat or email. If you have a specific query about a pending request, having your transaction reference to hand will help us look into it faster.
