What is First Payout?
The first payout is the most important payout because it confirms the firm actually pays. Verified first-payout receipts (Trustpilot reviews with payment proof, social media posts with confirmation screenshots) are the strongest signal that a firm is solvent and operating in good faith. First payouts typically take longer than subsequent ones because of KYC verification — even at fast-paying firms, expect 5-14 days for the first withdrawal.
