From an exchange wallet to a casino balance.

  1. Type the casino's address yourself

    Look-alike domains for Bitguruz and OreonBet rank high on Google, and the casinos have clones. To play at the real casino, you need to use the link or bookmark saved by your browser.

  2. Open the cashier and pick the coin

    Select the coin you want to deposit, and follow the on-screen instructions.

  3. Pick the network and read the minimum

    Choose the network your exchange will send on. The minimum sits beside it, and it can differ by network.

  4. Copy the address, and any memo or tag

    Copy from the cashier each time. If the screen shows a memo, tag or destination tag, you need it as well.

  5. Send from your exchange

    Send more than the minimum deposit amount shown on the cashier, and check the first and last characters of the address to confirm it's the one you want.

  6. Wait for confirmations

    The casino will credit your account after a set number of confirmations.

Five ways a crypto casino deposit gets lost

Information on deposit and withdrawal of Litecoin is available in the Terms and Conditions of any casino.

  1. Below the minimum

    The Terms and Conditions of BitStarz states that deposits less than the minimum deposit amount will not be credited. Bets.io states that deposits less than the minimum deposit amount will be forfeited. Transfers less than 0.009 LTC in BC.Game will not be credited.

  2. The wrong network

    BitStarz only recovers large wrong network deposits (above $5,000) for a fee of 0.1 BTC.

  3. A missing memo or tag

    Depositing on Winna's TON warns "forgetting the Memo will result in loss of your funds." Deposits XRP to the casino via the Thrill wallet? Make sure to add a destination tag.

  4. A coin the casino does not take

    Roobet lists 11 coins, and losing tokens beyond that is on you. Send coins only after checking the list.

  5. A fake site

    Depositing funds to a decoy site means they will cash out your funds. No casino will refund funds they did not receive. Learn how to identify a fraudulent crypto casino.

These processes are one way, and irreversible.

How long a crypto deposit takes to reach the casino

The time you'll wait for confirmations will vary. For clarifications contact the casino cashier.

A block on the Litecoin blockchain is generated roughly every 2.5 minutes. Thus a transaction will be confirmed in approximately 5 to 10 minutes. A block on the Bitcoin blockchain is generated roughly every 10 minutes. If you do not see a deposit transaction completed within 30 minutes, go to a block explorer, look up the deposit transaction using the transaction hash, and send the casino a screenshot.

An address that starts some other way is probably for another coin or network, so ask the casino before sending. Compare it after you paste, because malware on a phone or computer can swap a copied address for another one. On Quidax you can save a casino address as a trusted wallet, which also stops you pasting the wrong one later.

Depositing naira instead of crypto

Some casinos take both.

If buying and sending crypto sounds like too many steps, some casinos take naira directly. BC.Game shows Opay, bank transfer, PalmPay, USSD, card and Paga to players who sign up from Nigeria. Lagos-licensed books such as 1xBet take Quickteller, Opay, Paystack cards, PalmPay and bank transfer from ₦100.

The trade-offs are covered in our guides to Litecoin or USDT for casino deposits and withdrawing to a Nigerian bank.

What the law says

Since a Supreme Court ruling of 22 November 2024, each state licenses gambling within its borders. Crypto is legal and regulated by the SEC. A casino licensed abroad is not licensed by any Nigerian state, and our reviews say which kind each casino is.

Check before you play

Lagos law makes promoting unlicensed gaming an offence, and the Lagos authority publishes a list of operators it calls illegal; none of them appear on this site. Check that playing is lawful where you live. Our guide is crypto gambling legal in Nigeria explains the rules.
