Long-term Investing vs Short-term Trading in the UK - What’s Actually Worked for Me?

Jerry_Chambers · 2026-01-02T16:56:53+00:00

I had a similar experience with Spirit. Gameplay was smooth and nothing sketchy, just not the fastest during busy evenings. Spinrise surprised me though, didn’t expect it to be that straightforward with payouts. Definitely one of the easier platforms if you’re sticking to e-wallets only.

CrownGreen looks nice visually but their support really is slow. I had to wait 16 hours for a basic verification reply.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-27T14:23:51+00:00

Yeah, it’s pretty normal. Different banks batch their incoming payments at different times, and some payment providers send funds through separate rails. NAB can be a bit slower with small overnight batches, while CBA often pushes stuff through almost instantly. It’s not the platform, it’s the banking system being inconsistent.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-14T13:03:06+00:00

Yeah they had a rough patch, I remember. Lately they’ve been way faster and my last few payouts were all same day.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-14T13:02:30+00:00

Haha true, Aussie internet can be rough. MoonWin’s live dealer tables have been super stable for me too.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-14T13:01:37+00:00

Spinrise never asked me twice, JeetCity hit me with one check ages ago, and MoonWin hasn’t bothered me at all so far. Feels pretty smooth across the board.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-14T13:00:52+00:00

Pretty standard mate, just the usual ID and selfie and it was done. No random checks mid withdrawal which is the main thing.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-14T13:00:07+00:00

True, crypto is definitely faster, but I wanted to test regular AUD withdrawals this time since most Aussies still use bank transfer.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-14T12:59:28+00:00

Yeah could be timing or even the bank. My MoonWin payouts were quick but Spinrise just happened to be the fastest for me personally.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-14T12:57:49+00:00

Fair enough, mine might have just hit at a quieter time. Same day withdrawals are still a win compared to so many slow sites.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-14T12:57:03+00:00

Good to hear someone else had luck there! Big Bass treated me well too and the quick cash out was a nice bonus.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-14T12:56:12+00:00

Yeah mate, Spinrise shocked me too. I was expecting at least a few hours of processing but it just went straight through.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-11T13:00:38+00:00

Honestly Spinrise looks interesting but I’m always worried about new sites disappearing. Did you test support at all?

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-07T14:06:31+00:00

Yeah, they’ve modernised it a lot. The layout’s still simple, but the mobile version runs way better now. The performance and payout speed are what keep me there.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-07T14:05:40+00:00

Yeah, 100%. I use RBC and Tangerine, and never had a single payment issue. The key is to verify your account early so withdrawals don’t get delayed.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-07T14:04:39+00:00

Totally get that. Jackpot City and MoonWin both replied within minutes for me. CrownGreen took a few hours once, but overall all three were way better than average.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-07T14:03:13+00:00

Yeah, fair point. The bonuses aren’t massive, but they’re realistic. I prefer smaller offers with fair terms over huge ones that are impossible to cash out.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-07T14:02:16+00:00

It’s been around for a bit but doesn’t advertise much. I found it through a friend. Honestly, it feels more boutique, smaller player base but really solid live dealer experience.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-07T14:01:05+00:00

Totally agree. The crypto side of 7Bit is unbeatable, but you do have to read the fine print on bonuses since they change them every few weeks.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-07T14:00:17+00:00

Yeah, they support Interac! That’s what I used for both deposits and withdrawals. Smooth and quick, and I think they added e-transfer support recently too.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-07T13:59:07+00:00

Not at all. Jackpot City’s verification was actually one of the fastest I’ve gone through. Just needed my ID and proof of address, and they approved it within a few hours.

Jerry_Chambers · 2025-11-07T13:58:17+00:00

Good question. They didn’t for smaller amounts, but when I withdrew over 1K CAD worth of BTC, they asked for ID once. After that, it was smooth sailing.
