Deposit and Gamble with Crypto at BetOnline

Once everything is set up and ready to go, log into your BetOnline account and tap the huge green deposit tab in the upper right hand screen corner, (it’s on every page). Seven (7) distinct steps must be completed, which might sound like a lot at first, but after a couple of times it becomes ridiculously easy.

Firstly, a big circle appears displaying current balance; tap the red Deposit button underneath and scroll down to Cryptocurrency on the lefthand side. A new page loads five icons for each accepted coin and upon selecting one a warning reminds only that exact one can be sent or otherwise it’s lost forever. Press Continue and pick a predetermined sum or type in another number via the helpful keyboard tool.

Next enter a code or hit View Promo Codes to peruse offers and choose, tapping Select Bonus to proceed, an address to send to is then finally populated. Click Copy to save the long unique string of characters and paste it into the wallet, which should be open in another tab (entry location will vary).

All software is slightly different so it’s a good idea to understand precisely how it works before starting. Sometimes an ambiguous address popup appears necessitating highlighting the desired coin from a list, again being careful it matches what was originally chosen. Submit crypto amount and the USD equivalent is shown, if correct click Send and confirm with wallet password.

Return to BOL and select Complete My Deposit to see a message stating the transaction (with identification number) is unresolved and awaiting confirmation to be credited to account upon validation. It stays pending until at least six blockchain affirmations are achieved, with funds available once finished and ready for immediate wagering.

Afterwards, withdrawals can be sent the same way, which is just as swift and effortless. Keep abreast of minimum and maximum transfer amounts, any updated terms, and coins taken because permissions may occasionally change.
