The Player's Perspective: Ease of Cashout
It is no secret that cashout process is one of the most irritating procedures in the online gambling industry. When a player makes a deposit at an online casino it is only a matter of minutes. If luck has been on the player's side and they request a cashout – all of a sudden it turns into quite a procedure. In times when everyone is so concerned about protecting their identity on the web, casino that you only recently started playing on requests your personal documents to process a cashout. Even if all checks out, with the time it takes for the casino team to review and approve the cashout, funds may take around a week and even more to land in your account. However, the vast majority of reputable licensed casinos will do everything in their power to process cashouts in a timely manner and will never use player documents for anything other than confirming their identity. After all, Know Your Customer is a typical stage for any business related to accepting and transferring money.
The Casino's Standpoint: Security and Control
Now, looking at it from casino owners' standpoint, the approval process is important not only a part of the KYC. Online casinos popular with players also have to be concerned with risks of inside foul play, fraud or money laundering.

Our software tracks a number of parameters including cashout amount, player's deposit and bonus history, betting patterns, unusual winning spikes and several other factors. If cashout clears certain checkpoints, it is released to the player immediately. In case it fails to clear even one parameter, cashout is flagged and brought to the attention of an administrator. Casino staff can then review all the aspects and see if the cashout is legit or not. The solution can be fine-tuned according to the owner's preference for each parameter value. Thus, SOFTSWISS provides its customers with another valuable tool aimed at making player experiences more pleasant while keeping a close watch over their casino's cashflow.
