Crypto payments at Nine
Casinos that accept cryptocurrency often list several coins: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and stablecoins pegged to a regular currency, among others. Each coin can exist on more than one blockchain network, and that is where most costly mistakes happen. This page explains how to choose, how deposits and withdrawals work, and what to check every time. The coins and networks available on your account are shown in the cashier.
The set of methods and limits depend on the account — check the cashier.
Coin and network: two separate choices
A stablecoin such as USDT can be sent over several networks. The deposit address shown by the casino belongs to one specific network. Sending the right coin over the wrong network can make the funds unrecoverable. Always select the same coin and network in your wallet as in the cashier.
| What to match | Where to see it | What happens if wrong |
|---|---|---|
| Coin | Cashier and wallet | Funds may be lost |
| Network | Cashier label next to the address | Funds may be lost |
| Memo / tag | Shown under the address for some coins | Deposit not credited to your account |
| Address | Copy and paste, then check | Funds sent to a stranger |
Deposit with crypto
- Choose the coin and network in the cashier and copy the address, plus the memo or tag if one is shown.
- Send from your wallet with the same coin and network.
- Wait for confirmations; the time depends on the network.
Withdrawal in crypto
Select the coin and network, paste your own address, add a memo if your receiving wallet needs it, and submit. Verification applies as for any other method. Once approved, the casino sends the transaction and the network confirms it. A test with a small amount on first use reduces the risk of an address mistake.
Stablecoins and volatility
Stablecoins aim to keep a fixed value against a regular currency, which removes most of the price swing that comes with Bitcoin or Ethereum. That makes them easier to budget with. They still depend on their issuer, and the network fee varies with the network you choose.
Crypto and the games
Some casinos run separate «crypto» lobbies or show stakes in coins. A stake shown in fractions of a coin is easy to misjudge. Before playing, convert the minimum and maximum bet of the game into your usual currency and compare them with your budget. The game's maths does not change with the payment method: the RTP version in the info panel and the volatility of the slot are the same whether you deposited with a card or a coin.
Legal and tax notes
