Chainlink LINK deposits working but 120 hour withdrawal delays at Black Lotus

Question

Deposited 85 LINK to Black Lotus on Tuesday morning, funds credited within 30 minutes as expected. Hit a decent win on Aztec's Treasure and requested withdrawal of 142 LINK on Wednesday.

**It's now Monday and the withdrawal is still showing "Processing" status.** That's 120+ hours for what should be a 15-minute blockchain transaction. LINK network is running fine - checked other exchanges and they're processing LINK transfers normally.

Anyone else experiencing LINK withdrawal delays at Black Lotus? Their chat support keeps saying "24-48 hours" but we're way past that window. This is my first LINK withdrawal there so not sure if this is normal for this token.

Black Lotus seems to batch process altcoin withdrawals weekly instead of daily like BTC. Really frustrating when you're used to crypto speed.

BetWhale processes my LINK withdrawals in 4-6 hours typically. Lucky Tiger is also good for LINK - usually under 12 hours. Both way better than Black Lotus for alt withdrawals.

Had similar issues with LINK at Black Lotus last month. Took 6 days total for a 200 LINK withdrawal. Support blamed "manual review process for altcoins" but that seems excessive.

Ended up switching to BTC for withdrawals there - those usually process in 12-24 hours. LINK just seems to sit in their system forever for some reason.

Black Lotus has been slow with alt withdrawals lately. Stick to BTC if you're playing there - much faster processing. LINK network fees are cheap anyway so you're not saving much vs Bitcoin.

Tried Wild Casino for LINK? They usually process it same day in my experience.

**Day 8 here with a LINK withdrawal at Black Lotus.** Filed a complaint through their resolution center yesterday. This is getting ridiculous - LINK transfers take minutes on-chain but they're holding funds for over a week.

Considering moving my play to BetWhale since they seem to handle LINK withdrawals properly. Anyone confirm BetWhale processes LINK quickly?

**Update: Finally received my LINK after 8 days total.** No explanation from support, just showed up in my wallet this morning.

Thanks for confirming this isn't normal. Moving forward I'll use BTC at Black Lotus or switch to BetWhale for LINK play. 8 days is unacceptable when the blockchain confirms in minutes.
