USDT TRC-20 vs ERC-20: Which Network Should You Use?
The same stablecoin on two networks, with different fees, speed and risks for casino payments.

Why stablecoins at all
A stablecoin keeps your casino balance in dollars. If you deposit in bitcoin and the price drops while you play, your withdrawal is worth less even if you broke even. USDT removes that swing.
TRC-20 (Tron)
Fast blocks and low costs if your wallet has energy. Without staked or rented energy, each transfer burns TRX, so keep some TRX in the wallet. Tron USDT is the most common stablecoin option in casino cashiers.
ERC-20 (Ethereum)
Supported everywhere, secured by Ethereum, but a token transfer costs around 65,000 gas. When gas is high, that can be several dollars. Our network check shows the current cost of an ERC-20 transfer in your currency.
The one rule
Use the same network on both sides. A TRC-20 address starts with T, an Ethereum address with 0x. Funds sent across networks are rarely recoverable.
