How to Deposit with Crypto at Fair Go Casino

Crypto deposit methods and minimums at Fair Go

Here is every crypto option listed in the Fair Go cashier at the time of writing, with its minimum deposit. All six are fee-free on Fair Go's side and credit instantly once confirmed on the relevant network.

Lightning Bitcoin has the lowest minimum on the entire site at $5, the cheapest way to test the cashier, while Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin match the $10 minimum of Neosurf and eZeeWallet. Note that the welcome bonus requires a $20 minimum deposit, so a $5 Lightning test will not trigger code WELCOME. For a full comparison, see Fair Go deposit methods.

Before you begin: what you need

You need three things: a Fair Go account, a crypto wallet holding the coin you want to use, and enough of that coin to cover the minimum plus the network fee. Fair Go does not charge a deposit fee, but the blockchain usually does, and that comes out of your wallet rather than your casino balance.

• A wallet, not an exchange, is the cleanest option. Exchange withdrawals also work but sometimes carry their own minimums and delays.
• Know which network your coin travels on. This is the part that catches people. More on it below.
• Have your Fair Go login handy. Deposits happen inside the cashier after you sign in; see our Fair Go login guide if you have trouble getting in.

If you plan to withdraw later, complete identity verification now. Fair Go requires ID checks before the first withdrawal, and it is far less stressful to do it before you have winnings waiting.

Step-by-step: making a crypto deposit

1. Log in and open the cashier. Choose the deposit tab and pick the coin you want: USDT, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Lightning Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash or Litecoin.
2. Enter the amount. Fair Go plays in AUD, so you enter the AUD value you want credited. The cashier shows the equivalent crypto amount and a deposit address for that coin.
3. Add a bonus code if you want one. Code WELCOME gives a 100% match up to $200 on a $20+ deposit, redeemable five times, at the time of writing. If you would rather be eligible for the 25% cashback on a busted deposit, skip the code entirely; cashback applies to deposits of $10 or more made without one.
4. Copy the address exactly. Use the copy button rather than retyping. Paste it into your wallet's send screen, or scan the code if your wallet supports it.
5. Send the exact amount shown. Sending less than the minimum can leave the deposit stuck. Sending a little more is fine; it is simply credited at the conversion rate at that moment.
6. Wait for confirmation. Lightning is typically near-instant. Other networks need confirmations before Fair Go credits the balance, and the casino credits it as soon as it sees them.

Network and address mistakes that cost people money

Crypto transactions are irreversible. There is no chargeback and no "undo", so the mistakes below are worth reading twice.

• Sending on the wrong network. USDT in particular exists on several blockchains. If the cashier gives you an address for one network and your wallet sends on another, the funds can be lost permanently. Always match the network shown in the cashier to the network selected in your wallet before pressing send.
• Mixing up coins. Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash are different coins with different address formats. Litecoin is different again. Sending Bitcoin Cash to a Bitcoin address, or the reverse, is one of the most common support tickets in crypto generally. Pick the coin in the cashier, then pick the identical coin in your wallet.
• Reusing an old address. Generate a fresh deposit address from the cashier each time rather than pasting one from a previous week.
• Typing instead of copying. A single wrong character sends your coins to nobody. Copy and paste, then compare the first and last characters on both screens.
• Forgetting the network fee. If your wallet balance is exactly $25 worth of Bitcoin, the fee will push the sent amount below the minimum. Keep a buffer.

If you do make a mistake, contact Fair Go's 24/7 live chat immediately with the transaction ID. Support can sometimes trace a deposit sent with the right coin but the wrong amount; nobody can recover funds sent to a different network. Our support guide explains what to have ready.

Volatility: why your $25 might not stay $25

Fair Go converts your crypto to AUD at the moment it is credited, and your balance then sits in dollars. If Bitcoin rises after you deposit, you do not benefit; if it falls, you are not hurt. The conversion is a one-off snapshot.

The volatility that does matter is the gap between when you set up the deposit and when the transaction confirms. If the price moves while you fumble with your wallet, the AUD value credited may land slightly above or below the $25 you intended. Usually it is pennies; occasionally it is enough to drop you under a bonus minimum. The fix is to send a touch more than the bare minimum when a bonus depends on it.

Tether USDT avoids this almost entirely, since it is designed to track the US dollar, and its $25 minimum matches Bitcoin's. Our Fair Go crypto page covers USDT, Ethereum and Litecoin in more depth.

Withdrawing in Bitcoin

Fair Go pays out through three channels: Bitcoin (free), eZeeWallet (free) and wire transfer ($50 fee). If you deposited with any crypto, Bitcoin is the natural way back out, and it is the only crypto withdrawal option. You can withdraw to Bitcoin even if you deposited in Litecoin or USDT; you simply need a Bitcoin address to receive the funds.

• Per transfer: $100 minimum, $2,500 maximum.
• Bitcoin limits: $5,000 per week and $10,000 per month, with VIPs able to access higher limits.
• Processing: within 2 business days.
• Verification: ID checks are required before your first withdrawal.

The AUD amount you withdraw is converted to Bitcoin at the rate when it is processed, so what you receive depends on that day's price. For the full picture including eZeeWallet and wire, read our Fair Go withdrawal guide and Bitcoin at Fair Go page.

Crypto vs card deposits

Crypto is not automatically the best choice for everyone. Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay are also free and instant with a $20 minimum, and JET Bank Transfer at $20 is the bank option (PayID and POLi are not listed at Fair Go). Where crypto wins is lower minimums (from $5), privacy from your bank statement, and a matching free withdrawal route, since cards cannot receive payouts. If you already hold crypto, use it; if you would need to buy coins just to deposit, a card may be simpler. Join Fair Go

Responsible gambling

Crypto makes depositing quick and almost frictionless, which is exactly why it deserves a little extra care. Decide your deposit amount before you open your wallet, not after, and keep gambling funds in a separate wallet from savings so a losing night cannot spill over. If you ever feel the speed of it is getting ahead of you, Gambling Help Online is available 24/7 on 1800 858 858 and at gamblinghelponline.org.au. Play for fun, and only if you are 18 or over.
