How to read this. Casino fees are quoted from each operator’s fee table, help centre or terms as they stood between 10 and 13 November 2026. Network costs are samples from 29 October and 13 November 2026, with the fee mechanism each chain documents; they are not forecasts. Dollar conversions use CoinGecko prices of 13 November 2026 and are our arithmetic, not casino figures.

Network fees by chain: mechanism and two dated samples
The network fee is the part the blockchain charges whoever sends the transaction. On a deposit that is your wallet, or your exchange, which then sets a withdrawal fee of its own. The table lists the chains from the cheapest transfer upwards, with the rule each chain documents for setting the fee. A casino may also wait for confirmations before it credits a deposit; that affects time, not cost.
| Chain and asset | How the fee is set | Cost of one transfer (sample or documented rate) | Reviewed casinos that document it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stellar (XLM) | A fee per operation with a network minimum of 100 stroops (0.00001 XLM); surge pricing applies when a ledger is full | Documented minimum ≈ $0.0000015 at XLM $0.149 (arithmetic, not a sample) | Cloudbet, Duel, BC.Game |
| Solana (SOL) | A fee per signature, plus an optional priority fee the sender sets | 5,000 lamports per signature on 29 Oct; ≈ $0.0004 at SOL $81.61 | Most, including Stake, Roobet, Shuffle, Gamdom and Cloudbet |
| BNB (BNB Smart Chain) | Gas × gas price; the chain’s docs describe a 0.05 gwei standard | 21,000 gas at 0.05 gwei on both dates: under $0.001 | Stake, Roobet, Shuffle, Gamdom, Cloudbet and others |
| Ethereum (ETH), plain send | 21,000 gas × (base fee + tip); the base fee moves up to 12.5% a block | ≈ $0.02 on 29 Oct; ≈ $0.003 on 13 Nov | Most |
| TRON (TRX), plain send | Bandwidth: 600 free units per account, otherwise 1,000 sun per unit | Nothing within the free quota; 0.27 TRX (≈ $0.09) for a typical 270-byte transfer without it | Stake, Roobet, Gamdom, Cloudbet, Thrill and others |
| Bitcoin, on-chain | Fee rate in sat/vB × transaction size | 1 sat/vB on 29 Oct and on 13 Nov (2 sat/vB for the next block): 141 sats for a typical SegWit payment, ≈ $0.10 | Most; Bluff’s published coin list has no BTC |
| Bitcoin, Lightning | Each routing node charges a base fee plus a rate in parts per million | Not sampled | BetPanda; BitStarz and Bustabit for deposits |
| USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) | 41,300 to 63,200 gas × (base fee + tip) | ≈ $0.04 to $0.06 on 29 Oct; ≈ $0.01 on 13 Nov | 14 of 15 that publish USDT networks |
| USDT on TRON (TRC-20) | Energy, with no free quota: 100 sun per unit burned unless staked | 6.43 to 13.03 TRX (≈ $2 to $4) without staked Energy on both dates; little or nothing with it | 13 of 15 |
Mechanisms from Stellar, Agave (Solana), BNB Chain, ethereum.org and TRON documentation and the Lightning Labs Builder’s Guide; Bitcoin fee rates from mempool.space; gas from public nodes. Full list under Sources. Sizes and gas are for a simple one-input payment; a wallet spending many small inputs pays more.
Two things stand out. Every sampled transfer except one cost under twenty cents on both dates, Ethereum included: the several-dollar Ethereum fee that older guides quote did not occur in either sample, though ethereum.org’s own rule (up to 12.5% more per full block) shows how quickly it can return. The exception is the stablecoin most people assume is cheapest. USDT on TRON burned two to four dollars’ worth of TRX from a wallet with no staked Energy, because TRON gives accounts free Bandwidth but, in its documentation’s words, “Energy has no free quota”. The network detail is in our USDT network guide.
What the casino adds on a deposit
For crypto, usually nothing, and several operators say so in writing. Cloudbet’s fee page prints a deposit fee of 0 on all 56 of its coin-and-network rows. Rollbit: “We charge no fees on deposits.” mBit says it aims for “a fee-free experience for depositing and withdrawing funds”. BitStarz prints 0% beside every method on its payments page, while its FAQ still says “for some deposit methods there is a 2.5% fee”. The fees that do exist sit on the fiat side:
- Roobet’s terms charge “a 1% (one per cent) deposit fee for all successful FIAT deposits” (clause 9.7). Its crypto deposits carry no Roobet fee.
- Buying crypto by card inside a casino runs through an outside provider with its own pricing. BetFury’s documentation gives the example of buying USDT with dollars: 14.6% on $30 and 5.7% on $100. Duel warns that “External payments may carry a processing fee.”
- BetFury’s docs also show how much the network choice matters for the same coin: its example fee for ETH is 0.005 ETH on ERC-20 against 0.00053 ETH on Arbitrum.
- Cloudbet’s terms reserve more than its fee page uses: “a handling charge of up to 5% on deposits and withdrawals to cover transaction costs” (clause 7.1.10).
Withdrawal fees, coin by coin
This is where coins differ most. Three operators publish a per-coin table; the rest state a principle. The figures below are in the coin being withdrawn, with a dollar conversion at 13 November prices in brackets.
| Casino | Bitcoin | Ether | USDT | SOL | Litecoin |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stake, Thrill and Wild.io (the same figures for these coins) | 0.00001571 BTC (≈ $1.12) | 0.00067447 ETH (≈ $1.36) | 1 USDT; 0.5 at Thrill on Solana | 0.000005 SOL (≈ $0.0004) | 0.000138 LTC (≈ $0.007) |
| Cloudbet (11 Nov 2026) | 0.00000284 BTC (≈ $0.20) | 0.00000151 ETH (≈ $0.003); less on Arbitrum and Base | 0.00141 to 2.95 USDT by network | 0.00502 SOL (≈ $0.41) | 0.00000157 LTC (under $0.001) |
| RealBet | 1%, capped at 0.000273 BTC | 1%, capped at 0.00985 ETH | 1%, capped at 20.02 USDT | 1%, capped at 0.242 SOL | 1%, capped at 0.399 LTC |
Stake’s table also lists 0.0001 XRP, 0.0733617 TRX (≈ $0.02), 0.00002542 BNB (≈ $0.02) and 0.52151198 DOGE. RealBet’s caps all come to about $20 at 13 November prices ($19.47 to $20.02). Minimum withdrawals differ too: 0.00002504 BTC at Stake and Thrill, 0.0002 BTC at Wild.io, 0.00001 BTC at Cloudbet, 0.00015 BTC at RealBet.
| Casino | What it says about its own fee | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Roobet | “Roobet does not charge any withdrawal fees. However, there are network fees for every transaction sent through the blockchain.” | Help centre (28 May 2026) |
| Rainbet | “Rainbet does not charge any transaction fees. Any fees applied are standard network fees required to process transactions on the blockchain” | Help centre (29 May 2026) |
| Rollbit | “We charge no fees on deposits.” and “We charge no withdrawal fees other than standard on-chain gas fees.” | Help centre (15 Aug 2026) |
| BitStarz | 0% on every deposit and withdrawal row of its payments page; its FAQ says “for some deposit methods there is a 2.5% fee” | Payments page and FAQ, 11 Nov 2026 |
| mBit | “For withdrawals, we pay the fees.” | Help centre (27 Nov 2024) |
| Jack.com | “Withdrawals are automated with zero operator processing fees.” | Slots page, 11 Nov 2026 |
| Sportsbet.io | Its site says it covers the withdrawal fee on standard crypto withdrawals | Site, 31 Oct 2026 |
| 1win | No fees on crypto deposits or withdrawals, per its terms | As our review records them |
| Duel | “Duel does not profit from deposit or withdrawal fees. However, third-party providers may charge network or processing fees, and you are responsible for covering them.” | Terms of Service |
| Gamdom | A fee that depends on the network and on the speed chosen (Standard, Fast or Turbo), deducted from the amount; no table | Help centre (10 Aug 2026) |
| Shuffle | “the blockchain fee will be deducted from your withdrawal amount”; the terms also allow a fee shown before confirmation | Help centre; terms 10.7 |
| Winna | The blockchain fee is shown before confirmation; a processing fee may apply to several withdrawals within 24 hours, amount not stated | Help centre; terms 8.5 |
| 500 Casino | The network fee is paid by the player and deducted from the amount received; the figure is on each coin’s withdrawal page | Help centre (29 Apr 2024) |
| Bluff | A $20 minimum and a processing fee of about $1 plus network fees, as reported; the review cites no operator fee page | As our review records it |
Set against the network samples, the flat tables behave very differently from coin to coin:
- Bitcoin. The 0.00001571 BTC that Stake, Thrill and Wild.io charge is 1,571 sats, about 11 times the 141 sats a typical SegWit payment cost at 1 sat/vB on both sample dates. Cloudbet’s 284 sats is about twice it.
- Ether. The same three charge 0.00067447 ETH. A plain send cost about 0.0000016 ETH at the 13 November median gas, so the flat fee was roughly 400 times the network’s. Cloudbet’s 0.00000151 ETH tracked the network.
- SOL. The 0.000005 SOL fee is exactly 5,000 lamports, Solana’s per-signature fee: here the casino passes the network cost through. Cloudbet charges a thousand times more for the same coin, 0.00502 SOL.
- USDT. One USDT flat at the three (0.5 at Thrill on Solana), and between a fraction of a cent and 2.95 USDT at Cloudbet depending on the network.
On a $20 cash-out that arithmetic gives 5.6% in bitcoin, 6.8% in ether, 5% in USDT and 0.002% in SOL at Stake, Thrill or Wild.io; about 1% in bitcoin, 2% in SOL and 0.02% in ether at Cloudbet; and a flat 1% in each of these coins at RealBet. The cheapest coin at one casino is not the cheapest at the next, which is why a single ranking of coins cannot be right for everyone.
Why the withdrawal fee belongs in the deposit decision
Most reviewed casinos pay out in the coin that came in, so the deposit coin fixes the withdrawal row. BitStarz’s FAQ: “If you deposit in crypto, then your withdrawal needs to be in the same crypto (eg Bitcoin) to the same wallet.” Gamdom: “Crypto wallets can only withdraw that same crypto”. Wild.io’s terms rule out any on-site exchange, Cloudbet “doesn’t support currency conversion”, and at 500 Casino a coin balance “can only withdraw cryptocurrency of that type, or skins”. Winna and BetFury do offer an on-site swap between coins. Where there is no swap, a coin that was cheap to send in but carries a flat dollar-sized fee out, such as ether at a flat-fee casino, costs more over the round trip than one with a few cents at each end.
Minimums: the cost of landing under the line
A minimum deposit is not only a threshold. At some casinos a transfer below it is lost, which makes it the most expensive fee on this page:
- BitStarz, clause 8.6.8: “Deposits below this limit cannot be processed by our payment processor and will not reach your account and nor can it be returned back to you.” Its minimums include 0.0001 BTC, 0.005 ETH, 10 USDT and 0.05 SOL.
- BetPanda sets EUR 10 or the equivalent in any coin; smaller deposits are neither credited nor refunded (Terms, section 3).
- Rainbet: “Deposits sent below the threshold cannot be credited to your balance”; the documented remedy is a second transaction, in the same currency and network, that meets the minimum.
- Gamdom will credit a first deposit below the minimum once, on request, “minus a small recovery fee”. Its minimums are 0.0002 BTC, 0.003 ETH, 5 USDT and 0.0063 SOL.
- Stake cannot automatically process crypto deposits under $0.01 and sets no maximum; Thrill states no minimum or maximum deposit for any coin; 500 Casino’s crypto deposits start at about $0.60.
In bitcoin the common floor of 0.0001 BTC (BitStarz, mBit, Rollbit, Wild.io, RealBet) was about $7 on 13 November, and Gamdom’s 0.0002 BTC about $14. Coin-denominated minimums move with the price, and Gamdom notes that its minimums “may change with cryptocurrency value”.
Bitcoin: on-chain versus Lightning
An on-chain bitcoin payment is priced by size, in satoshis per virtual byte, and has to be mined into a block before most casinos credit it. Lightning payments are routed through payment channels instead, and each routing node may charge for forwarding. The Lightning Labs Builder’s Guide describes two components: a base fee, “a fixed sum that is charged on each forward, typically 1 satoshi”, and a fee rate, “a proportion of the payment that you forward, typically measured in parts per million”. Fees apply only to payments that succeed. That structure favours small payments. No single Lightning figure is given here, because the total depends on the route a payment takes.
Support is the constraint. Among reviewed casinos, BetPanda’s cashier offers Lightning as one of two Bitcoin networks, with 0.08 BTC as the most it pays per Bitcoin request; BitStarz lists Lightning for deposits only, from 0.0001 BTC; and Bustabit added Lightning deposits on 28 October 2024, noting that “The limits are a bit low right now”. The Bitcoin network lists of Stake, Roobet, Shuffle, Gamdom and Cloudbet include no Lightning option (10 and 11 November 2026). More in our Lightning Network casinos guide.
Clauses that can add a fee later
- Low turnover. mBit (clause 11.7) and Jack.com (clause 9) reserve the right to charge the processing costs of both the deposit and the withdrawal when the bets placed since the last deposit come to less than three times that deposit. Neither clause states an amount.
- Cost recovery. Cloudbet’s clause 7.3.8 allows it to deduct its deposit costs from a withdrawal “if such costs exceed the net revenue generated by you”.
- Repeat withdrawals. Winna may charge a processing fee on several withdrawals within 24 hours; Roobet charges 2% on fiat withdrawals from the tenth in a 30-day period (clause 10.8).
- Changes without notice. BetFury’s terms let it change the withdrawal fee without notice, and Cloudbet’s fee page says rates “can fluctuate without notice”.
So which coin is cheapest to deposit?
It depends on where the coin starts and where it is going, so the honest form of the answer is a set of cases rather than a ranking.
| Your situation | What the figures above point to | Check before sending |
|---|---|---|
| Sending from an exchange | The exchange sets its own withdrawal fee per coin and network, and that fee, not the network’s, is what you pay | The exchange’s fee list, and that the casino lists the same network |
| Own wallet, flat-fee casino (Stake, Thrill, Wild.io) | The withdrawal fee is under three cents in SOL, LTC, TRX or BNB and 0.0001 XRP in XRP; BTC, ETH and USDT carry $1.00 to $1.36 | The minimum withdrawal for the coin |
| Own wallet, Cloudbet | ETH (including Arbitrum and Base), LTC and BNB cost under a cent to withdraw; stablecoin rows on Tron cost 2.95 to 3 | The row for your exact network; a Solana stablecoin row has a 20-unit minimum |
| Casino with no fee of its own (Roobet, Rainbet, Rollbit, mBit, BitStarz) | Only the network fee applies, so the first table decides | The network fee the cashier shows before you confirm |
| You want a dollar-stable balance | USDT or USDC, on a network the casino lists and your wallet can pay gas for; at Thrill, USDC on Arbitrum costs 0.01 with a 1 USDC minimum | Tether’s or the issuer’s contract address, and the per-network fee |
Three practical points apply whatever the coin. A memo or tag is part of the address for some of them: Stake says coins such as XRP “require both the correct address and a MEMO/TAG”, and Thrill requires a Destination Tag for XRP. A first transfer to a new Solana token account carries a one-off deposit of about 0.0015 SOL. And a small test transfer costs one extra network fee, which on every chain in the first table except unstaked TRC-20 was under twenty cents.

Key takeaways: Cheapest deposits
- › Three fees, not one: the network’s, the casino’s deposit fee (usually none for crypto) and the casino’s withdrawal fee for the same coin.
- › Network fees were small on both sample dates: under twenty cents for BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB and TRX transfers.
- › USDT on TRON was the exception: about $2 to $4 of TRX burned from a wallet without staked Energy.
- › Flat withdrawal fees decide the round trip: about $1.12 in BTC and $1.36 in ETH at Stake, Thrill and Wild.io, against $0.0004 in SOL.
- › Under the minimum can mean lost: BitStarz and BetPanda neither credit nor return a deposit below it.
- › No universal cheapest coin: the answer changes with the casino’s fee table and with where you send from.
