Why are some online gambling platforms having high withdrawal fee? I know Bitcoin recently has a high transaction fee but that's no more right now, some online casinos are still asking for 5$ per transaction when it should be 1$ or less.
Not just only Bitcoin withdrawal, even coins with very low transaction fee, isn't this robbery? If you just signed up on a centralized exchange, you can pretend as if you want to withdraw, to know how much the gas fee costs, but on online casino, you will see this only after you have enough wins or funds for withdrawal.
This entirely depends on the casino you are playing on, for me, for several months now, I've sticked with Stake.com, the bitcoin withdrawal fees has always been 7000 sats, and it has remained so even until now, and even when the bitcoin network experienced congestion which caused the fees to skyrocket, Stake.com still maintain their normal withdrawal fee of 7000 sats..
And again, Stake, a user can view what the withdrawal fee of any coin is, even without have a balance of the said coin, for example in the shot below, I have no bitcoin balance, but I can still see how much Bitcoin is taken as fee when I withdraw.

Really nice that site like stake is covering the high transaction fees during the congested periods.
The good thing about this is that they won't go bankrupt by covering the withdrawal fees of their players because the site is big and really earning good income.
However, if this will be done in small casinos, I guess, they will just stick to how much they are charging their players, even if the transaction won't be confirmed for days.
If you are too worried about those withdrawal fees, then, always check how much the site will charge you just like exchanges so you won't be surprised when you need to withdraw from them.
Because once you deposited the money to them, it means, you will comply all the terms including the charges that may incur with your transactions.
