The two-clock test
Start the first clock when the cashier accepts the request and stop it at documented approval or dispatch. Start the second at dispatch and stop it when cleared funds arrive. A result described only as instant may refer to the rail rather than the full journey.
What changes the result
First withdrawals, payment-method changes, bonus turnover, source-of-funds checks and large amounts can add review. Compare the same account state and method. A crypto transaction also needs the correct network and enough confirmations before it is usable.
Evidence over labels
Keep the cashier reference, approval message, processor ID and receipt timestamp. Do not cancel a pending request just to restart the timer. Never pay an advance release fee or make another deposit to unlock a payout.

Is PayID always faster than crypto?
Not automatically; availability, operator review and network conditions differ.
What is the final timestamp?
Use cleared receipt at the destination, not a casino status badge.
