How a Bitcoin casino works
You hold coins in a wallet, usually bought through an exchange. To deposit, you send coins to an address the casino shows you. Bitcoin and Ethereum are common, but each casino supports its own list.
Check the network as well as the coin. Coins sent on the wrong network can be lost. See other options in our payment methods guide.
How to deposit with crypto
- Choose crypto on the casino's banking page.
- Select the coin and network.
- Copy the address exactly.
- Send a small test amount if you are new to this.
- Wait for the network to confirm the transfer.
How to withdraw with crypto
- Finish identity checks and bonus wagering.
- Enter your wallet address and check it twice.
- Wait for the casino to approve the request.
- Check the arrival in your wallet.
Approval time is usually the slow part. Our fast withdrawal guide explains why.

Is crypto safe for casino payments?
Crypto has its own risks. Prices can move while your money sits in a casino balance, transfers are hard to reverse, and a mistake with an address may not be fixable. Many crypto casinos are licensed abroad, so check the licence with care.
Tax and records
The Canada Revenue Agency lists gambling among crypto-asset transactions. Keep records of what you buy, send and receive. This is general information, not tax advice.
Good and bad points of crypto
- Good: you do not share bank details with the casino.
- Good: transfers can move quickly after approval.
- Downside: prices change.
- Downside: mistakes are hard to fix.
Stay in control
Set deposit limits, and use time-outs or self-exclusion if you need a break. Crypto balances can feel less real than dollars, so track your spending in CAD.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a crypto payment back?
Crypto transfers are generally very hard to reverse. Check the address and the network before you send.
Do I need records of my crypto use?
Yes, keep them. The Canada Revenue Agency lists gambling among crypto-asset transactions and explains record keeping. Ask a tax professional about your own case.
Does paying with crypto avoid identity checks?
No. Licensed casinos can still ask for identity checks. We do not list sites for avoiding them.
