Depositing by Card - What to Know Before You Start

Accepted cards, deposit limits, and tips that help your first card deposit go through cleanly.

Written by Paul

Card is the quickest way to get started for most players. A few things worth knowing before your first deposit can save you a failed attempt or two.

✅ What you'll need: a Visa, Mastercard, Amex, or Discover card, with the name and address matching your account details.

⚠️ One important rule: we can only accept card deposits made with a card registered in your own name (or a prepaid card). This applies even if you have someone else's permission to use their card - it's not something we're able to make an exception for.

The numbers:

  • Minimum deposit: $35

  • Standard maximum: $1,000 per transaction

Want to deposit less than $35? Crypto lets you go as low as $10 - worth a look if card's minimum doesn't suit you.

💡 Tips that actually prevent a decline, not just explain one:

  • Check with your bank that your card's enabled for international or online purchases before you try - plenty of declines come down to this alone.

  • Make sure your billing address matches what's on file with us exactly.

  • If you're retrying, don't repeat the exact same amount instantly - changing it slightly (say, $35.12 instead of $35.00) can help it go through, and spacing attempts a couple of minutes apart avoids tripping a processor's short-term limit.

  • Get verified early if you haven't already - it isn't just for withdrawals, and it can smooth out deposits too.

On fees: we don't charge deposit fees ourselves, but because our processors operate internationally, your own bank may treat a deposit as an international purchase, a currency conversion, or (less commonly) a cash advance - any of those would be your bank's charge, not ours. If you spot a fee you don't recognise, send us a statement or screenshot showing it and we'll take a look.

Think you've been charged twice for one deposit? Usually it's either a second deposit you'd forgotten about or another site sharing your bank's descriptor name. Send us a screenshot or statement showing the charges and we'll get the Cashier Team to check - expect an update within 2 business days.

Still not going through after a try or two? That's your cue to stop retrying and talk to us - see our Deposit Declined? Here's What to Try guide, or just start a chat and we'll dig into what's actually happening.
