Based on my analysis of the UK market since the new affordability checks were implemented in 2024, withdrawal times have definitely increased across the board. The Gambling Commission’s enhanced due diligence requirements mean operators are being extra cautious. From my testing, Paddy Power and William Hill consistently deliver within their stated timeframes, while some newer operators struggle with the enhanced verification protocols. My advice: stick with established brands that have robust systems in place and always complete verification immediately after registration.
