How to use crypto at GameMania

Stablecoins, networks, TXIDs: what to know before you send your first coin.

Coins in the cashier

You can pay with 14 different coins: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tether, Dogecoin, Tron, BNB, USD Coin, Dash, Cardano, Dai, Avalanche, Ripple and Toncoin. Well-known coins sit next to a number of altcoins. Which one is best depends on what you already hold.

A stablecoin keeps its value pegged to a fiat currency, so the price does not swing. When you want a payment tool rather than an investment, a stablecoin is the obvious pick. Other coins can gain or lose value while the money sits in your account.

Check the minimum for the coin you use. Stay above the stated minimum to avoid problems. There is no need to buy an exotic coin just to play: use what you have, and learn the steps with a small amount. Card, wallet and bank options are compared in the guide to deposit methods.

Step by step

The process takes three steps: choose the coin, copy the address, send the transfer. Precision is everything with blockchain transfers.

• Open the cashier and choose the cryptocurrency
• Choose the same blockchain network on both sides
• Use the copy button or scan the QR code rather than typing
• Send the transfer and keep the transaction hash
• Allow time for blockchain confirmation

Sending a coin on the wrong network is the most common and the most expensive mistake. If the cashier says one network, use exactly that one. For the first transfer from a new wallet, a small test deposit is a cheap insurance. Once it is credited, the larger transfer can follow. The payments glossary defines network, TXID and confirmation.

Timing and costs

Your deposit is credited once the network has confirmed it. Timing is set by the network and how busy it is. Paste the TXID into a block explorer to see where the transfer is.

You pay the network fee; the casino charges nothing on top. Fees vary by coin and by network load. For small amounts, a low-fee network makes more sense.

Depending on your choice, the money is kept in the coin or converted on arrival. Which balance the deposit goes to is shown in the cashier. Players in Kenya who keep a KES account will see the converted amount in KES. The cashier displays the expected amount in advance. How the crypto cashier compares with the rest of the site is covered in the complete GameMania review.

Withdrawing to a wallet

Payouts in coins tend to arrive first. Within the standard range of 12 hours to 3 business days, coins normally arrive first. Large sums are sometimes reviewed more carefully. The general payout rules are in the guide to cashing out.

Before you request a payout

Double-check the address. A blockchain transfer cannot be reversed once sent. Minimum cashout: KES 100, with a daily limit of $10,000.

Paying in crypto does not exempt you from verification. Have your ID and proof of address ready in advance. If a bonus is still being wagered, the withdrawal waits until it is finished or cancelled. With verification done and no bonus pending, the process is quick.

Crypto and bonuses

You can claim the welcome offer with a crypto deposit. With crypto you still need at least KES 750 in value to trigger 100% up to KES 76,000 + 50 free spins. The bonus option must be on before the deposit arrives. The full terms of the package are in our welcome bonus guide.

Wagering is the same 35x over 30 days. With a volatile coin, the value of the bonus can move with the market. Stablecoins keep the maths simple.

The 10% weekly cashback applies to real-money play paid in coins as well. Some campaigns are limited to certain methods, so read the terms. A short chat clears up any question about eligibility.

Safety and good habits

Price movements can work for you or against you. To play without market risk, use a stablecoin or convert to fiat. Never deposit coins you plan to hold as a long-term investment.

Note the TXID of each transfer: it is the proof support asks for first. Crypto is an alternative, not a replacement, for local methods in Kenya. Set a budget, whether you pay in coins or in cash.
