Ohio Sportsbook Payout Speed Rankings
We withdrew real money from each sportsbook using their fastest available method. Here's how they ranked:
Withdrawal Speed by Method
| Method | FanDuel | DraftKings | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|---|
| PayPal | 2-4 hours | 12-24 hours | 24-48 hours |
| Venmo | Same day | Same day | 24-48 hours |
| Bank Transfer (ACH) | 3-5 days | 3-5 days | 3-5 days |

Fastest Withdrawal Methods
Sportsbooks often require you to withdraw using the same method you deposited with, up to the deposit amount. If you deposited $200 via debit card and now have $500, you might need to withdraw $200 to card first, then choose another method for the remaining $300. Plan ahead.
What Slows Withdrawals Down
Account verification: First withdrawal often requires ID verification. Submit documents early to avoid delays when you want to cash out.
Bonus playthrough: If you used a bonus, the playthrough requirement must be met before withdrawal. Unmet requirements can hold up your payout.
Large amounts: Withdrawals over $10,000 may trigger additional review. This is standard for all regulated sportsbooks.
Weekend requests: Processing teams are smaller on weekends. Request Thursday or Friday morning for fastest weekend payouts.
The Bottom Line
For fastest payouts: use FanDuel + PayPal. You'll often have money in your PayPal within hours of requesting. DraftKings is a close second. For other books, expect 24-48 hours via e-wallets or 3-5 days via bank transfer.
