How crypto betting works

Why crypto wins at offshore operators

• Instant settlement. Deposits and withdrawals clear in minutes, not days.
• No chargeback risk for operators. Lower operating cost for the bookie means better bonuses for you.
• No intermediary bank blocking gambling transactions. Your bank can't decline a crypto send.
• Works across borders seamlessly. No currency conversion from MNT to EUR to operator balance.

Wallets 101

To bet with crypto, you need a wallet. Two kinds:

• Exchange wallets (Binance, Coinbase, Kraken): easiest to start, but the exchange custodies your coins
• Self-custody wallets (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Ledger): you control the keys and the coins

For betting, exchange wallets are convenient. Only hold what you need for near-term betting; keep long-term holdings in self-custody.

Which crypto to use

In order of practicality for betting:

1. USDT (Tether) on the Tron network, near-zero fees, instant, dollar-pegged so no price volatility risk
2. Bitcoin, widely accepted but slower and higher fees than USDT/TRC-20
3. Ethereum, fast on Arbitrum/Optimism but fees on mainnet can be painful
4. Litecoin, Dogecoin, cheap and fast, but accepted at fewer operators

The deposit flow

1. Log into the operator, go to the cashier.
2. Select the crypto you want to deposit.
3. The operator shows a deposit address (and usually a QR code).
4. Copy the address carefully, a wrong character means coins lost forever.
5. In your wallet or exchange, send the amount to that address.
6. Wait for network confirmations. Usually 1-6 minutes.

Gotchas

• Always double-check the network. USDT on Ethereum vs Tron vs Solana are different networks, send on the wrong one and the operator may not credit you.
• Deposit minimums apply. Below the minimum and the deposit is discarded.
• Operators may require KYC for withdrawals even on crypto accounts.
