Bitcoin: the original cryptocurrency, with a moving price
Bitcoin is the first and best-known cryptocurrency. Some gambling platforms accept it in the cashier, often alongside other coins. This page explains what using it actually involves, beyond the claims of speed and privacy that often surround it.
Price volatility first
Bitcoin's value changes constantly and sometimes sharply. If your gaming balance is held in Bitcoin, it can rise or fall without you playing a single spin. If the cashier converts deposits into a fiat balance immediately, the swing only matters at the moment of conversion. Which of the two happens is the first question to ask.
Depositing in Bitcoin
The cashier generates a deposit address. From your wallet you send the amount, pay the network fee and wait for the number of confirmations the operator requires. A mistyped address, or a different coin sent to a Bitcoin address, can mean losing the funds.
Withdrawing in Bitcoin
For a withdrawal you give your wallet address. Once confirmed, the transaction cannot be reversed. Operators still verify the account holder's identity before paying, exactly as with other methods.

| Confirmations | Number required set by the operator |
| Fees | Network fee, plus any operator fee |
| Reversal | Impossible once confirmed |
Fees and congestion
Network fees on Bitcoin vary with demand and can be significant on small amounts. When the network is busy, both fees and confirmation times rise. That is why some cashiers prefer other networks or coins for small deposits.
Two kinds of volatility
High-volatility slots such as Soaked by Seamen swing between long losing runs and sudden spikes. Add a balance whose value moves with the Bitcoin price and it becomes hard to tell how much you are really winning or losing. For anyone watching a budget, counting in your everyday currency stays the clearer option.
Transparency, not anonymity
Bitcoin transactions are recorded on a public ledger. They are not a way to play without a trace and do not let you avoid checks required by law. The general picture is on crypto; for traditional methods return to payments.
Methods and limits depend on the operator and your account — check the cashier. This page describes what to look for, not how to move money to any particular site.
