Lightning moves bitcoin through payment channels instead of putting every payment on the blockchain. A casino shows an invoice, your wallet pays it, and the balance updates almost at once. Routing fees are set per channel: a small base fee plus a share of the amount, measured in parts per million.
Pros
- Payments settle in seconds
- Fees are usually a fraction of a cent
- No waiting for block confirmations
Cons
- Fewer casinos support it
- You need a Lightning wallet with enough channel liquidity
- Large amounts may not route
Tips for casino payments
- Look for a 'Lightning' or '⚡' option in the casino cashier; the invoice usually expires in minutes.
- Mobile Lightning wallets handle routing for you; keep enough balance for the amount plus fees.
- For a large withdrawal, on-chain may still be the more reliable route.
