Funny you mention this because I had the exact opposite experience last Saturday night. Was trying to top up my account at Vave for their late-night tournament and my SOL deposit got stuck for 2 hours. Turned out the casino's hot wallet was having sync issues with the Solana RPC nodes.
Meanwhile my buddy was using Bitcoin Lightning and got confirmed in 8 minutes flat. Sometimes the newer networks have these weird hiccups that the older, more established ones don't. Though when SOL works, yeah it's lightning fast - hit a
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.
,400 win on Pragmatic's Sweet Bonanza that night and the withdrawal was back in my wallet in under 10 minutes.
The speed is addictive when it works, but that reliability factor still makes me nervous for bigger amounts.
