Crypto payments: coins, networks and the bonus small print
Crypto cashiers usually list several coins — Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, stablecoins such as USDT — and sometimes several networks for the same coin. Choosing the wrong combination is the most common and most expensive mistake. This page explains how to choose, and how crypto deposits interact with bonuses.
Important: available methods and limits depend on the operator, your country and your account type — check them in the cashier. This guide explains what to look for; it does not confirm that Dorado accepts any particular method.
Coin and network
Each deposit address belongs to one coin on one network. USDT, for example, exists on several networks that are not interchangeable. Always send the coin and network shown next to the address. If your wallet offers several networks for the same coin, choose the one the cashier names.
| Coin type | Price behaviour | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Bitcoin | Volatile | Confirmations and fee |
| Ethereum and tokens | Volatile; network fees vary | Network shown in cashier |
| Stablecoins (USDT, USDC) | Aim to track the US dollar | Exact network name |
Depositing
Copy the address, choose the network, send, and wait for the confirmations the platform requires. The credited amount in your account currency is calculated at the rate at the time of crediting, not when you pressed send.
Withdrawing
Provide an address of your own that supports the same coin and network. Some platforms only allow withdrawals in the coin you deposited. The operator may deduct a network fee from the payout; check the total before confirming.
Crypto and bonuses
Many promotions exclude crypto deposits or run a separate crypto bonus with its own terms. If the bonus and wagering are denominated in a volatile coin, the value of what you are wagering through can rise and fall during the deadline. A stablecoin removes most of that swing.
Mistakes that cannot be undone
Sending to the wrong address, on the wrong network or in an unsupported coin may mean the funds are lost; recovery depends entirely on the operator. A small test transfer first avoids most of these problems.
Exchange rate at crediting
Because crediting happens after network confirmations, a volatile coin may be worth slightly more or less by the time it reaches your balance. For bonus minimums, that drift can matter: send a little over the threshold rather than the exact amount.
