Stellar XLM withdrawal fees 50 XLM at Cafe Casino vs 2 XLM at BetWhale

Just noticed Cafe Casino charges 50 XLM for Stellar withdrawals while BetWhale only charges 2 XLM. That's a massive difference considering XLM is designed to be ultra-low cost.

At current prices (~$0.09), that's $4.50 vs $0.18 per withdrawal. The actual network fee for XLM is like 0.00001 XLM, so both casinos are making serious profit on these fees.

Anyone else tracking XLM fees across different sites? Stellar should be one of the cheapest cryptos to move around.

    Wild Casino charges 25 XLM for withdrawals, so it's somewhere in the middle. Still way higher than it should be for Stellar.

    I've been using XLM more lately because Bitcoin fees got crazy during the last bull run. Even at 25 XLM, it's still cheaper than most BTC withdrawals when the mempool is congested.

    BetWhale consistently has the lowest crypto fees across the board. Their 2 XLM fee is probably the closest to fair pricing I've seen.

    Cafe Casino's 50 XLM is ridiculous. That's like charging $50 to send a wire transfer that costs the bank $2. Pure profit grab on a network that processes transactions for fractions of a penny.

    Ignition charges 40 XLM for Stellar withdrawals. I switched from their Bitcoin option because even with the high XLM fee, it's still faster and cheaper than BTC during network congestion.

    The 15-minute settlement time on Stellar beats waiting 6+ hours for Bitcoin confirmations. Just wish more casinos would price their XLM fees fairly.

    Super Slots is 30 XLM for withdrawals. I actually contacted their support about the high fee compared to the actual network cost, and they said it covers "processing and security measures."

    Translation: we charge whatever we think players will pay. The actual Stellar network fee is basically zero, so everything above 1 XLM is pure markup.

    Thanks for the data points everyone. So we've got:

    • BetWhale: 2 XLM (most reasonable)
    • Wild Casino: 25 XLM
    • Super Slots: 30 XLM
    • Ignition: 40 XLM
    • Cafe Casino: 50 XLM (worst offender)

    Clearly BetWhale understands that Stellar's value proposition is speed + low cost. The others are treating it like any other crypto and charging whatever they want.
