Crypto payments: beyond Bitcoin
Many casino cashiers now list several cryptocurrencies besides bitcoin — Ethereum, Litecoin, stablecoins such as USDT and others. They share the basic logic of a blockchain transfer but differ in speed, fees and, above all, in the network you must use. This guide explains crypto deposit and crypto withdrawal basics across coins and the specific traps to avoid. The set of methods and limits depend on the operator and your account — check the cashier.
Coins you may see in a cashier
- Bitcoin: the original coin; slower and with variable fees. A bitcoin deposit is explained in detail on our Bitcoin page.
- Ethereum: a platform coin; fees ("gas") can rise sharply at busy times.
- Litecoin: designed for faster, cheaper transfers than Bitcoin.
- USDT and other stablecoins: tokens meant to track a currency such as the US dollar, which removes most price movement but adds reliance on the issuer.
Networks: the most common mistake
A token such as USDT exists on several blockchains — for example Ethereum, Tron and others. The cashier shows an address for one specific network. If you send the token over a different network, the payment may not arrive and recovery is often impossible. Always match three things: the coin, the network and the address. Send a small test amount first if you are unsure.
Fees and confirmation times
Each network charges its own transaction fee and needs a different number of confirmations before the operator credits your balance. Fast, cheap networks make small payments practical; congested ones can make them expensive. The operator may also set its own minimums and fees per coin, listed in the cashier.
What a "crypto casino" is and is not
The term crypto casino is used both for licensed operators that accept crypto and for sites that operate without any verifiable licence. Paying in crypto does not change the legal status of an operator in your country, and it removes the protections of card or bank payments. If an unlicensed site refuses to pay, there is no chargeback and often no regulator to turn to. Check the licence first; our review page explains how.
Crypto withdrawal checklist
- Complete identity verification before you need to withdraw.
- Copy the receiving address from your own wallet and compare the first and last characters.
- Select the same network in the cashier and in your wallet.
- Keep the transaction hash until the funds arrive.
