Crypto payments: coin, network and a careful thumb
Beyond Bitcoin, casino cashiers sometimes list other coins such as Litecoin or the stablecoin USDT. Whether any of them are available at Kanuuna depends on the account; the set of methods and limits is shown in the cashier. This page is about the part that trips people up on phones: choosing the right network, not just the right coin.
The network is part of the address
Some coins exist on several blockchains. USDT, for example, is issued on more than one network, and an address on one is not interchangeable with an address on another. If the cashier asks for USDT on a particular network and your wallet sends it on a different one, the payment may never arrive. Before sending:
- read the network name shown in the cashier next to the address;
- select exactly that network in your wallet's send screen;
- check whether a memo or tag is required — some networks need one, and forgetting it can strand the deposit.
Stablecoin or not
| USDT (stablecoin) | Litecoin and similar | |
|---|---|---|
| Price against the euro | Pegged to a fiat currency other than the euro, so it still moves against the euro | Moves freely, sometimes sharply |
| Main mobile risk | Picking the wrong network | Price change between sending and crediting |
| Balance in the casino | Kept in euro; conversion is applied by the operator — see its terms | |
A crypto deposit, step by step
- In the cashier choose the coin and, if asked, the network.
- Copy the address (and memo, if shown).
- In your wallet, choose the same coin and network, paste the address and compare its start and end with the cashier.
- Send and keep the transaction ID.
- Wait for the confirmations the operator requires; the cashier may show "pending" meanwhile.
Withdrawals
If crypto withdrawals are offered, you provide your own address and network in the withdrawal form. Verification of identity is still likely before the first payout; see the withdrawal guide. Some operators send withdrawals only to the coin you deposited with — read the terms.
Is crypto right for you?
Crypto adds steps and risks that euro methods do not have. If what you want is a quick, traceable deposit from a phone, a bank link or card is simpler — see how to deposit. If you already use a wallet daily and understand networks, crypto can be convenient. Either way, the tax treatment depends on the organiser's licence, not on the coin: winnings from an EMTA-licensed organiser are not subject to income tax, from an unlicensed organiser they are taxable at 22 %.
