Bitcoin at Savaspin: paying with the first cryptocurrency
Bitcoin was the first widely used cryptocurrency and is still the one most often listed in casino cashiers that accept crypto. Paying with it works very differently from paying by card: there is no bank in the middle, transactions cannot be reversed, and the value of the coin moves against your account currency. This guide explains the practical steps and the points where a Bitcoin payment meets bonus rules. Available methods and limits depend on your account — check the cashier.
Making a Bitcoin deposit
- Choose Bitcoin in the cashier and decide on any bonus offered at this step.
- Copy the deposit address shown, or scan the QR code with your wallet.
- Send the amount from your wallet, paying the network fee your wallet suggests.
- Wait for the number of blockchain confirmations the cashier requires.
- Check that the balance has been credited in your account currency.
Always copy the address fresh for each deposit if the cashier says addresses change. Sending coins to an old or mistyped address can mean losing them, because blockchain transactions cannot be cancelled.
Confirmations and network fees
A Bitcoin transaction is final once enough blocks have confirmed it. How long that takes depends on network traffic and the fee paid: a higher fee usually means faster inclusion. The network fee goes to the network, not to the casino. The operator may also show its own fees in the cashier.
Price changes and your currency
Most casino accounts hold a balance in a conventional currency or a stable unit, so your deposit is converted at the moment it is credited. If the price of Bitcoin moves between sending and crediting, the credited amount can differ slightly from what you expected. The same applies in reverse when you withdraw: the payout is converted at the rate used on the day the withdrawal is processed.
Bitcoin and bonuses
Some promotion terms exclude crypto deposits from offers; others include them or run crypto-specific promotions. Two details matter. First, the minimum deposit for an offer is set in the account currency, so a Bitcoin payment that converts to slightly less than the minimum may not qualify. Second, a deposit that arrives late, after the confirmation wait, still has to fall within the offer's claim window. If an offer needs a deposit of at least 20 units and your transfer converts to 19.80 units after a price move, the bonus may not be added (illustrative example, not a Savaspin condition). Sending a small margin above the minimum avoids this. Check the promotion terms in your account for crypto eligibility.
Withdrawals in Bitcoin
Where crypto withdrawals are offered, you provide a wallet address in your name. Double-check it, as a wrong address cannot be corrected after sending. Verification of identity still applies; crypto does not replace the usual checks. Withdrawing while wagering is incomplete can cancel a bonus, exactly as with any other method.
