Bitcoin mempool cleared to 2 sat/vB but Wild Casino still charging 0.0008 BTC withdrawal fees

Same issue at BetOnline - they're charging 0.0007 BTC which is still around $45. I asked support about it and they said fees are "reviewed monthly" but didn't give a timeline.

Meanwhile I can send bitcoin from my wallet for literally $0.30. It's frustrating because the high fees eat into smaller wins significantly.

Ignition dropped their fee to 0.0005 BTC last week, so some casinos are paying attention. Still higher than network rates but better than 0.0008.

I think the issue is these places set their fees during the high-fee periods earlier this year and just leave them there. Takes customer complaints to get them moving.

Cafe Casino is the worst - still at 0.001 BTC ($65). I switched to Litecoin withdrawals there since their LTC fee is only 0.01 LTC which is about $0.75.

Not ideal having to convert but saves me $60+ per withdrawal. These fixed bitcoin fees made sense when network fees were crazy, but they should scale down when the mempool clears.

Thanks for the data points everyone. Sounds like the more responsive casinos are at least moving in the right direction, even if they're not matching actual network fees.

Might be worth reaching out to Wild Casino support about this since other brands are adjusting. The $50+ difference between their fee and network cost is hard to justify when competitors are doing better.
