Crypto payments at Uzu: an overview before you choose a coin
Crypto cashiers can list several coins and tokens, each on one or more networks. That variety is useful, and also the main source of mistakes. This page gives a general overview; the coin-specific details for Bitcoin are on Bitcoin. Which cryptocurrencies Uzu supports, if any, depends on the operator and your location, and is shown in the cashier.
Available methods and limits depend on the operator and your account type: check them in the cashier before you deposit or withdraw.
Coins and stablecoins
Coins such as Bitcoin change in price constantly. Stablecoins are tokens designed to track a currency such as the US dollar, which reduces price movement but adds other questions: which issuer, which network, and whether the platform credits them at face value. A stablecoin on one network is not interchangeable with the same token on another for deposit purposes.
Networks: the detail that loses money
Many tokens exist on several blockchains. The cashier will name the network for each address. Sending on a different network — even the same token — can make the funds unrecoverable. Before sending, check three things: the coin or token, the network and the address. If any of them is unclear, ask support before sending.
Irreversibility and proof
Crypto transfers cannot be cancelled once broadcast. That protects the receiver but not the sender. Keep the transaction ID (hash) for every deposit and withdrawal; if a deposit is not credited, support will need it to trace the payment on the blockchain.
Legal and practical limits
Some countries exclude cryptocurrencies as a means of payment for gambling, or restrict the use of exchanges for that purpose. Check the rules where you live. On a practical level, turning crypto back into money in your bank requires an exchange, which may have its own verification, fees and limits.
Crypto withdrawals
A crypto payout is still a withdrawal: the platform checks your identity and balance first. Some platforms require that you withdraw in the same coin you deposited, or set different limits for crypto payouts. Look for these rules in the payment terms.
