Put in a £1,240 withdrawal request on Friday afternoon after cashing out on the Djokovic-Rune match at 2.85. Donbet's site clearly states 48-hour processing for bank transfers, but it's now Tuesday 9am and still showing 'pending review'.

Their live chat keeps saying "banking delays" but other punters on Twitter seem to be getting payouts in the normal window. Anyone else experiencing longer waits recently, or is this just my luck?

The original bet was solid value — caught Djokovic at 2.85 when he was struggling with his serve in the second set, then he turned it around in the third. Should've been a straightforward win-and-withdraw situation.

73 hours is taking the piss, especially when they advertise 48h max. I'd be hammering their complaints email at this point, not just chat support who clearly don't have access to the actual payment queue.

I've tracked Donbet payout times over 47 withdrawals since September. Their stated 48h window is met 78% of the time, but there's definitely been a spike in delays since mid-November. Weekend requests seem particularly affected — my Friday requests average 67 hours versus 31 hours for Tuesday/Wednesday requests.

The £1,240 amount shouldn't trigger additional verification unless you've hit some monthly threshold. Their KYC kicks in at £2,500 cumulative per calendar month, which might explain the delay if you've had other withdrawals recently.

For comparison, Goldenbet has been consistently hitting their 24h promise — processed my £890 tennis win from Sunday's matches in 18 hours flat. Worth considering for faster turnaround times.

Had similar issues with weekend requests lately. My Saturday withdrawal took until Wednesday, but their Monday request was sorted by Tuesday evening. Seems like their payment team doesn't process over weekends despite what the website implies.

The Djokovic-Rune value was spot on though — watched that match live and the odds swung wildly when Novak's first serve percentage dropped to 42% in the second set.

This reminds me of my Australian Open saga last January. Had backed Medvedev at 4.2 when he was two sets down against Tsitsipas — absolutely mental odds for someone of his caliber on hard courts. The comeback was textbook Medvedev: patient, consistent, waiting for Tsitsipas to crack under pressure in the fourth and fifth sets.

Cashed out for £2,100 on the Sunday night, expecting the usual smooth payout by Tuesday. Instead, it dragged on for six days with excuse after excuse. Their support kept mentioning "additional security checks" for larger amounts, but I'd withdrawn similar sums before without issue.

Eventually escalated to their complaints team and got the funds plus a £50 bonus for the delay. Sometimes you need to make noise rather than accepting their standard chat responses. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, especially when they've clearly breached their own terms.

Donbet's processing has definitely deteriorated. I've moved most of my tennis action to palm.casino after three consecutive delayed withdrawals in October. Their tennis markets aren't as deep, but 12-hour payouts beat waiting around for days wondering where your money is.

The 2.85 on Djokovic was decent value, but everyone was hammering that line once his serve stats became obvious. Classic case of the market being slow to adjust to in-match performance metrics.

Is 73 hours considered really bad in tennis betting? Still learning about withdrawal times across different sites. Should I be worried if my £180 withdrawal from last week is still pending, or is that normal for smaller amounts?

[tennishedge pro]

£180 pending for a week is definitely not normal, even for smaller amounts. Most reputable tennis books process withdrawals under £500 within 24-48 hours max. The fact you're asking suggests your gut already knows something's off.

I'd recommend setting strict withdrawal timeframes as part of your bankroll management — if a site can't honour basic payout promises, they don't deserve your action. Tenobet processes my tennis winnings within 18 hours consistently, even weekend requests. Worth considering a move before you tie up more funds with unreliable operators.
