TOP-10 of cryptocurrencies popular in casinos
The crypt in gambling is based on three parameters: speed, transfer cost and compatibility of wallets/exchanges. Cheap networks and stablecoins are in the lead, where the amount "in hand" is not "eaten up" by the commission, and enrollment takes minutes. Below is an editorial TOP-10 with brief profiles, where networks, pros/cons and best scenarios are indicated for each coin.
How we selected (methodology, short)
1. Presence of operators and payment providers.
2. Cheap/fast networks and support by large exchanges/wallets.
3. Predictability of fees and convenience for small/medium amounts.
4. Availability of alternative networks (TRC-20/TON/SOL/L2, etc.).
5. Frequent casino practices (refund, closed-loop, limits).
Cryptocurrency TOP-10 for casinos (profiles)
1) USDT (Tether)
Networks: TRC-20, ERC-20, SOL, TON, Polygon, Arbitrum, etc.
Why top: stablecoin ≈ the dollar, broad support, a lot of cheap networks.
Best use: quick deposits and payments without currency risk.
Tip: Select TRC-20/TON/SOL/L2 by default; ERC-20 is often more expensive.
2) USDC
Networks: SOL, ERC-20, Polygon, Arbitrum/Optimism/Base, etc.
Pros: transparent stablecoin from large issuers, strong support for exchanges/wallets.
Best use: cross-exchange replenishment, payments in cheap networks (SOL/L2/Polygon).
Tip: Check which USDC network the casino box office supports.
3) BTC (Bitcoin)
Network: own (on-chain), sometimes Lightning (less often in casinos).
Pros: recognition, high liquidity.
Cons: Higher fees and longer confirmations, especially in peaks.
Best use: large sums where the commission is uncritical.
4) ETH (Ethereum)
Networks: basic ERC-20 + L2 (Arbitrum/Optimism/Base).
Pros: de facto interoperability standard, lots of infrastructure.
Cons: ERC-20 roads at peak; it is better to use L2.
Best use: deposits/withdrawals via L2, or large on-chain.
5) TRX (TRON)
Network: TRON.
Pros: cheap and fast translations; ecosystem is friendly with USDT TRC-20.
Best use: small and medium amounts, quick cashouts.
Tip: keep track of network resources on your wallet (energy/bandwidth) - usually everything is transparent in UI.
6) SOL (Solana)
Network: Solana.
Pros: seconds-minutes to enroll, very low commission.
Cons: rare overloads/technical work; check the status.
Best use: Mass fast deposits/disbursements, USDC/USDT in SOL network.
7) TON
Network: The Open Network.
Pros: very fast and cheap transactions, convenient mobile wallets.
Features: Exchanges may require comments/MEMO - read tips.
Best use: Retail transfers, quick cashouts
8) BNB / BSC (BNB Smart Chain)
Network: BNB Chain (BEP-20).
Pros: low fees, extensive support for tokens.
Cons: sometimes casinos have limited support for this BEP-20 - specify.
Best use: USDT/USDC/stablecoins on BSC for low-cost trenches.
9) LTC (Litecoin)
Network: Litecoin.
Pros: Historically cheap and faster than BTC; many where supported.
Cons: not a stablecoin - there's volatility.
Best use: deposits and conclusions of average amounts when predictable fee below BTC is needed.
10) XRP
Network: XRP Ledger.
Pros: fast and cheap translations.
Critical: Destination Tag/MEMO on exchanges - without it, there will be no enrollment.
Best use: recharges to the stock exchange and quick cashouts with attention to the tag.
Quick comparisons (landmarks)
Practical advice (so as not to lose money and time)
1. Network = The network at the recipient. USDT TRC-20 ≠ USDT ERC-20. Before transferring, open "Deposit" from the recipient and take the address of exactly the network that you chose in the casino.
2. A test mini tranche (10-50 cu.) in front of the principal amount is your insurance.
3. MEMO/Tag for exchanges - required (XRP/BNB/XLM/sometimes TON): without it, there will be no enrollment.
4. Without VPN when caching, the same device/browser, turn on 2FA - there are fewer reasons for anti-fraud hold.
5. Plan commissions and minimals. On cheap networks, you can send small amounts; on expensive ones - save up to "sweet spot."
6. Store TXID and screenshots. This is the only "check" to track down the transaction.
7. Stablecoins for stability. If you don't want price volatility, USDT/USDC is in a cheap network.
8. L2> ERC-20 at price. For ETH/USDC/USDT, consider Arbitrum/Optimism/Base/Polygon.
Common mistakes and quick fixes
Mini-FAQ
Which is the fastest and cheapest?
Usually USDT/USDC in TRC-20, TON, SOL or L2 networks. But make sure the casino and your wallet support the same network.
Is it possible to mix: deposit in crypto → output to the card?
Often yes, but consider closed-loop: the amount of deposits can be returned to the original method, and the net gain can be returned to the chosen crypto network or in another permitted way.
Why does the casino request KYC for crypto payments?
Due to AML/compliance and limits. Large amounts will be asked for SoF (statements/documents).
Should I keep the balance in BTC/ETH?
Stablecoins are more convenient for the game: there is no drawdown of the course during cashout.
For casinos today, stablecoins (USDT/USDC) hold the lead on cheap and fast networks - TRC-20, TON, SOL and L2. Classic BTC/ETH are appropriate for large amounts or for specific preferences, and TRX/SOL/TON/BNB/XRP/LTC are excellent workhorses for fast and economical trenches. The main rules: network matching, test translation, MEMO/Tag where necessary, TXID verification and a secure environment (without VPN, with 2FA) - this way your crypto payments will be fast, cheap and predictable.
