Crypto Networks for Casino Play
The chains and Layer 2s your deposits actually travel through
The asset you deposit and the network that asset travels on are two different choices, and most players don't realize until their first $20 ERC-20 fee that the second one matters more than the first. USDT on Ethereum mainnet and USDT on Tron are the same dollar-pegged stablecoin from the same issuer, but the deposit fees differ by two orders of magnitude. This index covers the eleven networks that casino operators actually accept, with per-network pages that cover speed, fee range, coin support, and the operators that have implemented the network cleanly. Pick a network before you pick a coin — the network decision is the one that determines whether the deposit is workable.
