The Pending Period is the internal processing phase of a withdrawal. During this time, the operator's payments team verifies the gameplay for any irregularities, checks that Wagering Requirements have been met, and completes any final compliance checks.
In the UK market, the length of this period varies significantly. Elite casinos often have automated systems that approve withdrawals in hours or even minutes. Other operators may have a manual review process that can take 48-72 hours. A long pending period is often a point of user frustration and can be an indicator of an inefficient operator. Some platforms also allow players to "reverse" their withdrawal during this time, a feature discouraged by regulators.
