hard to say as your transaction has now confirmed.

The fee was possibly on the lowish side at 220... "recommended" has been over 300 for a few days...

Child Pays For Parent is a way for you to try and get unconfirmed parents to confirm by spending the unconfirmed output with a MASSIVE fee so miners will mine both transactions into a block... can be useful in some situations as long as you understand what you're doing and the fee is calculated correctly.

AFAIK, Electrum does a fairly good job of working out an appropriate CPFP fee... as long as you're aware that it will seem outrageously large as it needs to effectively cover 2 transactions

Tryed to cashout my bet and they seem to have sent me a payment from addresses that have many unconfirmed outputs?

in electrum its showing parent pays for child. Not seen this features before in electrum nor have I seen the warning triangle..
