Bitcoin: a deposit that waits for the network
Available payment methods and limits depend on the operator, your country and account type — check them at the cashier before you deposit. This page does not state minimums, fees or processing times for the operator, because we cannot confirm them.
Bitcoin is the oldest cryptocurrency and almost always on the list at operators that accept crypto. At Captain you can see whether it is available at the cashier. A bitcoin deposit is not fast in the way a card is: it waits for network confirmations, and the fee goes to the network, not the operator.
Depositing BTC
- At the cashier choose Bitcoin and copy the address shown.
- In your wallet, check you are sending on the Bitcoin network.
- Choose a network fee — a higher one means faster inclusion in a block.
- Send and wait for confirmations; the deposit is credited after the number the operator sets.
Withdrawing BTC
To withdraw, enter your own Bitcoin address. The operator reviews and sends the payout and may deduct the network fee from the amount. Expect identity verification at the first withdrawal. Withdrawing to an address you do not control — for example an exchange address that does not support such deposits — is risky. Operators often pay out in the same coin you deposited, so if you want fiat in your bank you may need to convert yourself.
Exchange rate
If the operator keeps your balance in fiat, bitcoin is converted at the current rate on deposit and again on withdrawal; the rate can move either way in between. If the balance is kept in BTC, the exchange risk is yours until you convert. Bonus wagering and maximum bets may still be expressed in fiat and converted at play time.
If a deposit isn't credited
Look up the transaction in a block explorer using its transaction ID. If it has enough confirmations and the deposit still isn't credited, send the ID to support.
Taxes
Tax treatment of gains from changes in crypto value is a separate matter from gambling and varies by country. We cannot advise on it; ask your tax authority or an adviser.
