A step-by-step guide to funding a casino account with bitcoin: wallet, address, fee and confirmations.

What you need
A bitcoin wallet that lets you choose the fee, some BTC in it, and an account at a casino that accepts bitcoin. Buying bitcoin on an exchange and sending it straight to the casino works too, but a wallet you control gives you the fee choice and a clean address for withdrawals.
Step by step
- Open the casino cashier, choose Bitcoin and copy the deposit address, or scan its QR code.
- Check the minimum deposit: payments below it are often not credited.
- Paste the address into your wallet and check the first and last few characters.
- Check the network on our home page and pick a fee that matches how fast you need the funds.
- Send, then wait for the casino's confirmations. Most show the pending deposit straight away.
How long it takes
A bitcoin block arrives about every ten minutes on average, and casinos usually credit after one to three confirmations. With a next-block fee that means ten to thirty minutes. A low fee during a busy period can take hours, which is why it pays to check the mempool before sending.
Common mistakes
- Sending on the wrong network, for example a BEP-20 'BTC' token to a bitcoin address.
- Reusing an old deposit address when the casino has issued a new one.
- Paying a next-block fee on a quiet day, when a much lower fee would confirm just as fast.
Before you send: check fees and the queue on our bitcoin network check, then pick a bitcoin casino for your country.
