Average time to get indexed and getting indexed immediately

Hello! 

I read the full guide/docs to getting indexed but i still have some questions!

I recently published my first game GRAVEBOUND and it gathered a fair amount of downloads, views  and even some money. Uploaded all the required assets for the game, but after 4 days its still not indexed.

I wanted to ask how long does it usually take to get your game indexed so I can know if i did something wrong? And how do I shorten the waiting time for my future projects? 

I read that "Established sellers with no history of issues will skip this review step and will be indexed immediately", and I wanted to know what requirements do I need to meet to count as an "Established seller"?

I looked around and read the docs to getting indexed, but there doesn't seem anything else I can do. The reason I wanted to find out is because my school holds a game development competition each year and I want to have the game available to search for when the finale comes. I was not able to upload the game any sooner, which made it a bit more difficult  for people from my school to find my game. I really want to be ready for next year.

The link to the game (if needed): https://exonege.itch.io/gravebound

it takes at least 4-12 days indexing a game(note:i don't exactly know how many days but for an average it take 4-12 days)

edit: also did you read this unofficial document(by notimetoplay)

This unofficial FAQ explains why it can take that long. No, you probably did nothing wrong. It depends. And I'm not sure who counts as an established seller, but you just published your first game. Please wait.

I understand! I just wanted to know for the future! Thank you for the fast response!
