What blockchain confirmations are and how many are needed to credit.
When you send crypto, the transaction enters the blockchain and is gradually "confirmed" by new blocks. The casino credits funds after a set number of confirmations — a protection against double-spending. Fast networks take seconds, while Bitcoin can take longer at busy times. If a deposit is pending, check the confirmation count by hash in an explorer: once it reaches the threshold, funds credit automatically.
Step by step
- Wallet. Log in and open Wallet → Deposit.
- Coin. Choose your cryptocurrency and network.
- Address. Copy the deposit address or QR.
- Send. Send crypto from your exchange/wallet — it credits after confirmations.
