Yes, we've started offering deposits via Bitcoin. This might scare some of you, but let's face it, digital currencies are here to stay and we want to both offer as many forms of deposit as possible, as well as staying ahead of the payment curve. Both PayPal and CashApp now offer Bitcoin wallets built right into their applications...so here's a collection of FAQ questions just on our new Bitcoin payments!

PLEASE NOTE: While Bitcoin deposits are generally very quick, blockchain verification can vary and can take as along as 24hrs in some instances. Your funds will be added to your account as soon as our provider verifies that the blockchain transaction has been updated and verified.
