Bitcoin: a deposit that depends on the network and the price
Bitcoin is the best-known cryptocurrency, yet not the most convenient way to fund a casino balance: every transfer waits for network confirmations, and the price keeps moving while you wait. If your account's cashier lists Bitcoin, this page helps you account for both — especially when you plan to take a bonus. The set of methods and the limits depend on your account — check the cashier.
Making the deposit
- Read the bonus terms: is crypto excluded, and what is the qualifying deposit?
- Choose Bitcoin in the cashier and copy the address from there — never from an email or chat.
- Send an amount with a margin above the qualifying minimum.
- Wait for confirmations and check the credited amount and the bonus.
Rate versus bonus: an example
The bonus needs a €20 deposit. You send Bitcoin worth €21; during confirmation the price falls 6% and about €19.74 is credited — no bonus (illustrative example, not an Irwin term). A margin of 15–20% above the minimum removes that risk.
| Risk | How to reduce it |
|---|---|
| Price drop during confirmation | Send with a margin |
| High network fee | Include it when you calculate the amount |
| Wrong address | Paste it and check the first and last characters |
Bitcoin and wagering
If crypto deposits qualify, the bonus is wagered exactly as with any other method: multiplier, game weighting, maximum bet and deadline. The one twist is mental: your casino balance is in euros or another fiat currency while you think in bitcoin. During the wagering period the price can rise or fall, so the number of coins you receive at payout will differ from what you expected. That is exchange-rate drift, not a casino gain or loss. Some cashiers also run crypto-only promotions with their own rules — open those terms separately. The method for any offer is in our wagering guide.
Withdrawing in Bitcoin
Complete any bonus turnover before asking for a payout — a request with an active bonus usually voids it. Identity checks for crypto payouts are generally the same as for bank payouts. The coin amount you receive depends on the rate at payout time. More in the withdrawal guide.
