Bitcoin: what to know before you send
Some operators accept Bitcoin deposits. For a player who thinks of the bankroll in euros, dollars or another fiat currency, Bitcoin adds a variable that has nothing to do with the table: the price. What you deposit can be worth more or less on the day you withdraw.
Available methods and limits depend on your account and country — check the cashier before you deposit.
Depositing in Bitcoin
- In the cashier choose Bitcoin; copy the deposit address or scan the QR code.
- Send from your own wallet on the Bitcoin network.
- The deposit is credited after the number of blockchain confirmations the operator requires.
Check the first and last characters of the address before sending. A wrong address cannot be reversed.
Withdrawing in Bitcoin
Enter your wallet address and the amount. Operators normally verify identity before the first withdrawal, exactly as with card or bank payouts. The network fee may be deducted from the amount.
Price swings and a fiat bankroll
| Situation | What it means for the budget |
|---|---|
| You deposit, the price rises | Your balance looks bigger in fiat terms, but that is market risk, not winnings |
| You deposit, the price falls | You lose value without placing a bet |
| You hold winnings in BTC | The final result depends on the price when you sell |
If your budget is in fiat, convert only the weekly amount and note the price at deposit. That keeps the gaming result separate from the market.
Common scams
Fake “bonus” addresses sent by message, apps imitating a cashier and “support agents” asking for your recovery phrase are all frauds. The recovery phrase is never shared with anyone. Copy the deposit address from the cashier every time, because some operators rotate addresses.
Records
Crypto gains can have their own tax treatment depending on where you live. Keep your transaction history. For other coins and stablecoins see crypto.
Bitcoin and live tables
Live tables move in rounds of roughly a minute, while the Bitcoin price can move several percent in an evening. If you keep your balance in BTC during a long session, the final figure mixes table results with the market. Players who care about clean numbers convert to a stablecoin or fiat balance where the operator allows it.
