Withdrawal email confirmation — MyStake's takes 3 hours, is that normal?

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.

3 hours is on the slow end. My experience with MyStake (12 withdrawals over the past year) is the email arrives between 8 minutes and 90 minutes for most cases. The 3+ hour outliers seem to correlate with weekend/holiday submissions.

The email step is a fraud control measure — they're confirming your email access in real time before processing. Frustrating but the security logic is sound.

Workaround that helped me: I add MyStake's withdrawal-notification email address to my contacts and set up a Gmail rule to flag it as priority. The actual email isn't delayed once it sends — sometimes it gets caught by spam filters. Worth checking before assuming the 3-hour delay is on their end.

Operators that have this email step: MyStake, some Curacao operators. Operators without it: most major US-friendly brands, BC.Game, 7Bit. Single-email-step doubles your withdrawal time effectively.
