Bitcoin Cash withdrawals hitting 8+ hour delays at Vave since Wednesday - network congestion or site processing issue?

[BCH Betsy]

Been using BCH for withdrawals at Vave for months with typical 45-90 minute processing, but since Wednesday every cashout is taking 8+ hours to hit my Exodus wallet. Made three withdrawals this week:

40 on Wednesday (9.2 hours), $520 on Thursday (8.7 hours), and

Specific question on MyStake's withdrawal process. After requesting a withdrawal, they send a confirmation email that you must click to authorize the cashout — this is a security step that's not common across most operators, MyStake is one of the few that does it. Mine arrived 3 hours and 11 minutes after I requested the withdrawal.

Is the 3-hour email delay typical? Looking at MyStake forum threads elsewhere, some folks say the email arrives within 5 minutes, some say 6+ hours. I'm wondering if the delay correlates with deposit size, account age, or just operational load.

Practical effect: my withdrawal didn't actually start processing until I clicked the link 3 hours later. Total time from request to BTC arrival was 4 hours 22 minutes, of which 3 hours was the email wait.

5,000, so it's only affecting the Mini tier. Anyone else noticed this or have insight into why Pragmatic would reduce the seed amounts? Seems like a significant change that affects the overall RTP calculation.

85 yesterday (still pending at 11 hours).

BCH network fees are sitting at normal 1-2 sats/byte and other sites are processing fine. Checked blockchain explorer and Vave's transactions aren't even broadcasting until the 6-7 hour mark, so this isn't network congestion.

Anyone else seeing similar delays with BCH withdrawals there? Wondering if they're batching transactions differently or having wallet management issues.

[skeptical sam mb]

Vave's been having backend issues for weeks. Their Ethereum withdrawals were delayed 12+ hours last month too. Classic sign of liquidity management problems - they're probably waiting for deposits to cover withdrawals instead of maintaining proper hot wallet reserves.

[Crypto Dealer MTL]

I've been tracking withdrawal times across multiple crypto sites for compliance reporting, and Vave definitely stands out as inconsistent. Their BCH processing was solid through December but started degrading in January. What's interesting is their BTC withdrawals are still hitting 2-3 hour windows consistently.

Switched my BCH cashouts to Cloudbet last week and getting 45-90 minute processing like clockwork. Their hot wallet management seems more professional - transactions broadcast within 15 minutes and confirm quickly. Worth considering if you're doing regular BCH withdrawals.

[bonus hunter on]

Had the exact same issue with a $450 BCH withdrawal on Tuesday - took 9.5 hours when it should've been under 2 hours. Their support claimed "network congestion" but that's nonsense when you can see the mempool is clear.

Been testing withdrawal speeds as part of my site evaluation process. mBit processes BCH withdrawals in 30-75 minutes consistently, even during busy periods. They broadcast transactions within 10 minutes of approval and use appropriate network fees. Much more reliable for regular cashouts.

[newbie nick ab]

Wait, is 8 hours considered slow for crypto withdrawals? I'm new to this and thought crypto was supposed to be instant. Should I be worried if my first BCH withdrawal is taking this long? What's the normal timeframe I should expect?

[jackpot jim bc]

Brother, 8+ hours for BCH is absolutely unacceptable in 2024. I've been moving serious money through crypto casinos for three years and proper sites process BCH in under 2 hours, usually much faster. Just last weekend I hit a

,800 win on Lightning Roulette and had my BCH withdrawal in my Ledger within 55 minutes - that's how it should work.

The delay pattern you're describing sounds like they're manually approving larger withdrawals or having cash flow issues. When I see processing times suddenly jump like that, it's usually a red flag about the site's financial stability. I stick to sites with proven fast processing because when you're dealing with bigger wins, you want that money secured quickly. Been having great experiences with consistent 45-90 minute BCH withdrawals lately - no stress, no delays, just smooth cashouts every time.

If they can't process a $500 withdrawal promptly, imagine the headaches with a $5,000+ win. Time to diversify your withdrawal sites, trust me on this one.

This aligns with the processing degradation I've been documenting. Vave's BCH withdrawal median went from 87 minutes in December to 6.3 hours in January. The issue isn't network-related - their transaction broadcasting delays indicate internal wallet management problems.

For comparison, sites with proper infrastructure maintain sub-2 hour BCH processing even during peak periods. The delayed broadcasting suggests they're either understaffed on approvals or managing liquidity poorly.

[Grumpy Gambler ON]

6.3 hours median in January versus 87 minutes in December? That's not "degradation," that's a complete collapse of their withdrawal infrastructure. I pulled my last BCH out of Vave on January 18th and it took 11 hours to hit my wallet - absolutely ridiculous for what should be a 20-minute process.

The wallet management angle makes sense because their transaction IDs weren't even showing up on the blockchain for the first 8 hours. That's pure internal processing failure, not network congestion. Metaspins processed my BCH withdrawal in 47 minutes yesterday, so it's definitely a Vave-specific problem.
