Do you prefer using a centralized crypto exchange or a non custodial wallet for casino cashouts?

I always go through my own wallet first, never straight from the casino to the exchange. The reason is simple: the exchange sees the deposit coming and the compliance system looks at where it came from. When it comes direct from a gambling address you can get a surprise KYC request or the account frozen until you explain the source of funds, and that can take days with your money stuck there. Sending to a non custodial wallet first costs you one small network fee and breaks that direct link, and after that you move to the exchange when you want to convert to fiat. For who is in Brazil like me there is one more detail: the casinos that accept Pix and BRL let you skip the crypto part completely for small amounts, so I only use the crypto route when the house is crypto only, like CaratCasino that have no card and no Pix on the banking list. My rule after some years is boring but works: keep the chain of transactions clean, always use the same wallet, never send from a casino straight to a bank or exchange account, and keep the network fee in mind because for small cashouts it can eat the profit. Take a shot but protect your account first my man!
