Crypto Deposit
A crypto deposit is a player or trader funding transaction made using cryptocurrency such as BTC, ETH, or USDT, offering faster settlement and pseudonymous transfers compared to fiat methods.
What it means in practice
A crypto deposit occurs when a player or trader funds their account using cryptocurrency rather than traditional fiat payment methods. Common deposit currencies include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), and Litecoin (LTC). The transaction settles on-chain, bypassing traditional banking infrastructure and the associated processing delays.
For operators, crypto deposits offer advantages and complications. Settlement is typically faster than bank transfers, reducing the time between deposit and first activity. Transaction fees can be lower than card processing, improving net revenue margins that flow into NGR and RevShare calculations. However, crypto deposits introduce volatility risk if the operator holds funds in crypto rather than converting to fiat immediately.
From an affiliate attribution perspective, crypto deposits require the same S2S tracking infrastructure as fiat deposits. The FTD event fires when the blockchain transaction confirms and the operator credits the account. Affiliates promoting crypto casino or crypto-friendly forex brokers need to understand minimum confirmation thresholds and how deposit crediting delays affect their conversion funnel metrics.
