Withdrawal speed audit — August
The desk reran the withdrawal speed audit in August 2026. The audit tested three platforms across three payment methods — UPI, bank transfer, and Paytm Wallet. The audit ran 40+ withdrawals during business hours and after hours. The audit is the desk's primary data source for the platform review scorecard.
UPI is the fastest path. The median UPI withdrawal is 12 minutes, unchanged from the May 2026 audit. The fastest was 4 minutes. The slowest was 34 minutes. The failure rate is 2.5%. The failures are typically resolved within 24 hours by customer support.
Bank transfer is the most predictable. The median bank transfer is 14 hours, unchanged from the May 2026 audit. The fastest was 2 hours. The slowest was 3 days. The failure rate is 5%. The failures are typically due to bank-side delays (weekends, holidays, account verification).
Paytm Wallet is the middle ground. The median Paytm withdrawal is 22 minutes, slightly faster than the May 2026 audit (24 minutes). The fastest was 8 minutes. The slowest was 1 hour. The failure rate is 3%. The Paytm daily limit is ₹25,000 — the limit is the constraint for the largest withdrawals.
The audit's recommendation is to use UPI for amounts under ₹5,000, bank transfer for amounts above ₹10,000, and Paytm for amounts in between. The recommendation is a starting point — the player should choose the method based on the player's own experience and the platform's specific limits.
The next refresh is October 2026. The data is published in the withdrawal speed audit page. The audit is the desk's primary data source for the platform review scorecard.
