How to deposit at a casino with Bitcoin, step by step

The first time I deposited in Bitcoin it took twenty minutes and I thought the money was gone. It was not: the network was congested. Here is the exact process so you skip that anxiety.

1. Get the coins

Buy BTC on an exchange or receive it into your wallet. You need slightly more than the deposit amount: the network charges its fee separately.

2. Copy the casino address

In the cashier, choose Bitcoin. You get a long address and a QR code. Always copy with the button, never by hand: one wrong character and the transfer is lost.

3. Confirm the network

This is the costliest mistake. If the casino gives a Bitcoin address, send over the Bitcoin network. The same applies to USDT between TRC-20 and ERC-20.

4. Wait for confirmations

Between 10 and 60 minutes depending on congestion. Casinos credit after 1 to 3 confirmations. If it takes over an hour, look up the transaction on a block explorer before messaging support.

My advice

For small amounts do not use Bitcoin: the flat fee eats the deposit. Use Litecoin or USDT on TRC-20. And if you do not yet handle wallets, remember many of these casinos accept cards.
