Crypto payments at Betgorillas
Crypto is the most international way to fund a casino account: no card issuer to decline the payment, no bank hours, and withdrawals that settle as soon as they are approved. It also has its own ways of going wrong, almost all of them on the player's side. This page explains how a crypto deposit and a crypto withdrawal work in practice, and how to avoid the mistakes that cannot be reversed.
Coins and networks
Casinos that accept crypto usually list a handful of coins — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and stablecoins such as USDT are the usual suspects — and for some of them several networks. USDT, for example, exists on more than one blockchain. The coin and the network you choose in the cashier must match exactly what you send from your wallet. Sending a token over a network the address does not support is the classic way to lose a crypto deposit permanently.
How a crypto deposit works
- Choose the coin and network in the cashier; it generates a deposit address, often with a QR code.
- Copy the address with the copy button rather than by hand and check the first and last characters.
- Send from your wallet or exchange account on the same network.
- Wait for the confirmations the casino requires; the balance is credited after that.
Some casinos convert the coins into a fiat balance at the moment of deposit, others keep the balance in crypto. That decides who carries the price risk while you play, so check which model applies before sending.
How a crypto withdrawal works
To withdraw, you paste your own receiving address and select the network. The request goes through the usual review — verification, bonus wagering, terms — and once approved it is broadcast to the blockchain. After that it cannot be recalled, which is why a wrong address is final. Withdraw to a wallet you control, test with a small amount the first time, and keep a record of the transaction hash.
Fees and price movement
Network fees are paid to the blockchain, not to the casino, and they change with congestion; the operator may add its own withdrawal fee or minimum. If your balance is converted to fiat, the exchange rate at deposit and at withdrawal will differ, and so will the coin price on your exchange. Stablecoins reduce the price risk but not the network risk.
Play via USDT or Bitcoin: who it suits
Crypto suits players who already hold coins and understand wallets. It suits less well anyone who would buy crypto only to gamble: every purchase and sale adds a spread, and a misplaced network choice has no customer service to call. If you are new to wallets, practise outside the casino first.
Wallet security
Never share a seed phrase or private key — no casino or support agent needs it. Enable two-factor authentication on exchange accounts, beware of clipboard malware that swaps copied addresses, and remember that crypto is not anonymous at a licensed casino: verification still applies before withdrawals.
Limits, processing times and the methods on offer are set by Betgorillas, depend on your country and account, and can change — the cashier and the operator's own terms have the final word.
