AGCO-licensed vs offshore — payout speed compared

[GrumpyGambler ON]

For Ontario players choosing between iGaming Ontario-registered operators (BetMGM, FanDuel, DraftKings, etc.) and offshore (Wild.io, 7Bit, etc.). Speed comparison from my logs:

AGCO Interac: median 18 hours (longer due to formal compliance review). Offshore Interac (via Wild.io): median 2.5 hours. AGCO BTC: not offered. Offshore BTC: median 12 minutes.

AGCO operators are slower because of the regulatory scrutiny — that scrutiny is also what creates the consumer protection.

The trade-off is conscious. AGCO = slower + protected. Offshore = faster + thin protection. Reasonable people choose differently.
