OLG can usually process your withdrawal within three Business Days after you request it and meet all withdrawal conditions, including any required information or documentation. If processing takes longer, contact support for a status check.


How long do OLG withdrawals take?

In most circumstances, OLG can process a request to withdraw Unutilized Funds from a Standard Player Account within three Business Days once all withdrawal conditions are met. Processing means handling the withdrawal request; arrival means the money reaches your receiving account.

  • Required information or documentation: the processing window depends on meeting these requirements, so check whether OLG still needs anything from you before treating your request as overdue.

Which withdrawal method and currency does OLG use?

  • Account currency: players in Canada hold their OLG balance in CAD, so read your account balance in that currency when planning a withdrawal.

The withdrawal method is electronic bank transfer. For the request instructions, follow How to withdraw from OLG.



What should you do if your withdrawal is delayed?

If processing runs beyond the window above after you have met the withdrawal conditions, ask OLG support for a status check. In Ontario, support is available through Chat and Call.

  • Online gaming LiveChat is available 24/7, making it convenient if you need help outside phone hours.
  • French chat services are offered Weekdays 8 AM to 4 PM (ET), so you need to work around a narrower schedule for French chat.
  • Phone: Available 8 AM to Midnight, giving you a call option during those hours.

Choose the channel available when you need to check your request.

OLG withdrawal time questions

How long does it take to withdraw from lotto?

For an OLG online-account withdrawal, OLG can usually process the request within three Business Days once all withdrawal conditions are met.

From which event is the time counted?

The window depends on both your withdrawal request and meeting all withdrawal conditions, including providing any required information or documentation.

How much time does the operator state, and where does the bank or provider time begin?

OLG's estimate is within three Business Days for processing, not a bank-arrival deadline; processing handles your request, while arrival is when the money reaches your receiving account.
