Payments: what to check in the cashier before you deposit
This section is not a manual for paying one particular operator. It is a guide to what any player should check in a casino cashier: which methods appear, in which currency, in whose name the money moves and how withdrawals work. The set of methods and limits depends on your account and country — check the cashier. We describe what to look for, not what any operator accepts.
Method families
| Method | Type | Check in the cashier |
|---|---|---|
| Visa / Mastercard | Card | Currency of the charge, bank fees |
| Skrill / Neteller | E-wallet | Whether e-wallet deposits qualify for bonuses |
| Paysafecard | Prepaid voucher | How you will withdraw |
| Bank transfer | Bank | Beneficiary name and country |
| Crypto | Blockchain | Network, fees, legal status where you live |
Currency
If your account currency differs from your card or bank currency, someone converts — and charges for it. A 3% conversion cost on deposits works like losing three points of RTP on that money. Choose an account currency that matches your own where possible.
Minimum and maximum amounts
Each method has its own minimum and maximum per transaction, set by the operator and sometimes by the payment provider. They appear in the cashier next to each method. We do not quote them because they change and differ by country.
Speed and fees
Processing times and any operator fees should be shown in the cashier; your bank or wallet may add its own. Withdrawals also include the operator's internal review, which is usually the longest part.
Verification
Licensed operators verify identity and age, typically before the first withdrawal and sometimes before the first deposit. Expect a photo ID, possibly proof of address and proof that the payment method is yours.
Withdrawals are the real test
Depositing is easy everywhere. Withdrawal rules — same-method policies, limits, pending periods, bonus locks — show how a platform really works. Read withdrawals before your first deposit, and what to check before depositing.
One rule for every method
Whatever you choose, the payment must be in your own name, and the money must go to a beneficiary you can identify. Most payment problems players describe start with breaking one of those two rules.
