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

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.

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

- Check current network conditions before sending — Bitcoin fees can vary by 10x depending on congestion.
