What is BTC
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that exists only in electronic form and is independent of central banks. Transactions are recorded on a public ledger called the blockchain and verified by a network of computers around the world. Bitcoin was created in 2009, and its supply is capped at 21 million coins.
Casinos accept BTC as an account currency: you fund your balance with bitcoin and withdraw winnings in the same coin. No fiat money is involved: your account is held in BTC, and bets are placed in fractions of a bitcoin.
How to deposit and withdraw BTC
To deposit, you need a crypto wallet, either an app or an exchange account where your bitcoin is stored. The casino gives you a unique address (a string of letters and numbers) to which you send coins from your wallet. The transfer goes through the Bitcoin blockchain network, and funds are credited after several confirmations by miners. The time depends on network congestion and the size of the fee.
Withdrawals work the other way round: you enter your wallet address, and the casino sends the coins there. Volatility is the main risk: while you play, the BTC rate against your usual currency can rise or fall by tens of percent in a single day.

FAQ
Can I play in BTC if I only have regular rubles or dollars?
Yes, buy bitcoin on a crypto exchange and transfer it to your casino account. Keep in mind the double conversion when you withdraw back.
What happens if the BTC price drops while I'm playing?
Your balance in bitcoin stays the same, but its value in fiat money decreases. This is the risk of a crypto account.
Which network should I use to transfer bitcoin?
Use the Bitcoin mainnet (not the Lightning Network or wrapped tokens such as WBTC), unless the casino's deposit instructions say otherwise.
