How to Deposit Bitcoin at a Sportsbook

A plain-English, step-by-step walkthrough for making your first Bitcoin deposit at a crypto sportsbook — from wallet to bet slip in under 30 minutes.

Step 1 — Buy Bitcoin

Purchase BTC on a regulated exchange (Coinbase, Kraken, Gemini). Move it to your own wallet if you want extra privacy, or send directly from the exchange for speed.

Step 2 — Open Your Sportsbook Account

Register, verify your email, and go to the cashier. Choose "Deposit → Bitcoin".

Step 3 — Copy the Deposit Address

The sportsbook generates a one-time BTC address. Copy it exactly — one wrong character and your funds are lost.

Step 4 — Send Your BTC

In your wallet or exchange, paste the address, enter the amount, and confirm. Fees are typically $1–$5 on the BTC network.

Step 5 — Wait for Confirmations

Most sportsbooks credit after 1–3 network confirmations. That's usually 10–30 minutes.

Step 6 — Claim Your Bonus

Enter the bonus code (if any) before depositing, or opt in from your account page. Your bonus balance appears once the deposit clears.
