Other than games, one of the most important things when it comes to online casinos is the banking process. After all, part of the thrill, if not a big chunk of it, is winning real money.
Of course you will need to put in some money before you can start winning, so in this review we will cover the payment methods at 888 Casino Canada.
We'll also talk about the deposit and withdrawal process to give you an overview of how 888 banking works. 888 banks natively with Canadian dollars which makes things clean and straightforward.
Players in Canada can easily make deposits at 888 Casino with Interac as well as other popular payment methods. However, when it comes to cashout, the withdrawal process has a 3 day pending period and it's definitely not the fastest we've come across.
On the other hand, Gold VIP members at 888 have their withdrawal requests processed in 1 day instead of 3. Our tip: The VIP club at 888 is by invitation only, but contact their team if you think you play hard enough to qualify for this status!
Depositing is where it all starts. 888 deposit methods are numerous and the most popular option for players in Canada is probably Interac. As long as you have a Canadian bank account, you can use Interac to deposit into your 888 account.
You can also use iDebit, which also lets you make instant payments from your bank account without using a credit card. If you prefer pre-paid cards, you can also use Paysafe.
Neteller or Skrill, both of which are standard payment methods at online casinos, are also accepted. Other payment methods include Mastercard, Visa. For 888 mobile deposits, you can use Apple Pay or the MuchBetter payment app.
Keep in mind that not all deposit methods will also allow you to cash out. For example, if you deposit via Apple Pay you will need to choose another payment method for withdrawals. We'll talk a bit more about that later, but for now just know that the 888 payout time ranges from 2 to 10 days in total, depending on which method you are cashing out to.
To make a deposit, log in to your 888 account and then:
Step 1: Choose the Cashier button
Step 2: Choose the Deposit button
Step 3: Choose from the payment methods available
Step 4: Enter the amount you wish to deposit and then complete the other fields
Step 5: Click on the Submit button to complete the transaction

888 Cash Out Process
Now comes the time you've been waiting for: cashout. 888 withdrawals are fairly simple. It all begins with you logging into your 888 account and from the Casino Lobby:
Step 1: Choose the Cashier button
Step 2: Choose the Withdrawal button. If you don't see a Withdrawal button, then click on "For more payment methods, withdrawal and other features, click here" line at the bottom of the screen.
Step 3: Enter the amount you wish to withdraw.
Step 4: Click on Withdraw to confirm the transaction
888 Withdrawal Methods
Not all of the deposit methods are accepted for cashing out. Interac, Apple Pay are not accepted as withdrawal methods.
In Canada, as in many other countries, Visa and Mastercard are not accepted as withdrawal methods due to limitations set by the card issuers. If you used these methods for depositing, you will have to choose another payment when cashing out.
888 Cash Out Time
Once you've submitted your withdrawal request, 888 has a 3 day pending period before your request will be finalised. For Gold VIP members, this wait time is cut and the request is processed within 1 business day. Then it takes time for the request to actually be processed and the money to actually reach you. If you are cashing out through a wire transfer, it can take 4 to 7 days, while with e-wallets it can be done in 1 or 2 days.
Below are the 888 payout times, not including the pending period:
You may cancel or reverse your withdrawal request during the 3 day pending period by going back into the Cashier and selecting the Reverse Withdrawal button.

888 deposits are free and there is no service charge.

The upper limit is $30,000 and if your payout is larger than that, then the casino reserves the right to payout the rest in installments.

Account Verification for First Withdrawal
The 888 payout times posted above does not include the identity verification process, which must happen before your first withdrawal can be processed. This is for security reasons and to prevent money laundering.
To verify your account at 888, you will need to upload certain documents. Photo ID such as your driver's licence or passport is necessary, and your name, photograph and signature should be clearly visible.
Then you should also provide a proof of address, such as an electricity bill or bank statement with your name on it. These documents all need to be notarised with a stamp to prove it's official.
Most banks will notarise these documents for their clients for free, or may charge a small fee for non-clients. Then you need to upload these documents to 888 by going to the Cashier again, and selecting the Verify ID button. From there you can upload photos or scans of the documents.
It's recommended that you get started with the verification process shortly after making your first deposit. This will make the wait time with your first payout go by much quicker!
888 Casino works with plenty of payment options that are popular with players in Canada. Interac and iDebit both make deposits a breeze. Those of you with an iPhone can enjoy the convenience of Apple Pay when playing on the 888 mobile casino.
Although the payout time does come with a 3 day wait before your withdrawal request will be processed, the banking process is largely efficient. If you are a Gold VIP member, this time will be cut and your request will be processed within one day.
There are no fees for either deposits or withdrawals. Minimums are very low. The $30,000 monthly limit on withdrawal is more than sufficient. Canadians will find that banking at 888 is easy and convenient.

I've been working in the online casino landscape in Malta for more than 10 years and have seen how the industry works from customer service roles to the backend of the business. While I am lucky enough to call myself a native on the sunny island called Malta, I also enjoy travelling and have travelled across Canada! After wandering through the great white north, I have decided to share my knowledge and now work with Canadian players to compile accurate casino reviews to help players navigate through the hundreds of gaming sites online.
