How it works

Step-by-step guide

Follow the process in order, then check the room's current lobby and cashier terms before committing funds.

  1. 1

    Understand network fees

    Network fees are paid to blockchain miners/validators to process your transaction. They are not charged by the poker room. Fees vary by cryptocurrency and network congestion.

  2. 2

    Compare fee structures

    Bitcoin: $1-20+ (varies with congestion). Ethereum: $1-50+ (varies heavily). Litecoin: $0.01-0.10. USDT (TRC-20): $0.50-1.00. Choose based on your deposit size.

  3. 3

    Choose the right crypto

    For small deposits ($10-100), use low-fee options like Litecoin or USDT (TRC-20). For larger deposits ($500+), Bitcoin fees become proportionally small.

  4. 4

    Optimize timing

    Bitcoin and Ethereum fees are highest during peak network usage. Check current fee estimates before transacting and send during off-peak hours when possible.

Tips and best practices

  • Black Chip Poker doesn't charge platform fees for crypto deposits or withdrawals — you only pay blockchain network fees.
  • USDT on Tron (TRC-20) typically has the best combination of stability, speed, and low fees.
  • Batch your deposits into fewer, larger transactions rather than many small ones to minimize total fees paid.
  • Check current network conditions before sending — Bitcoin fees can vary by 10x depending on congestion.
