Address safety

Wrong network

Clipboard malware

A category of malware that watches your clipboard for crypto addresses and silently replaces them with the attacker's. You copy the correct address, paste, and the string that arrives is different.

Defence: after pasting, verify the first six and last six characters against the source. Attackers generate addresses matching the beginning, so checking only the start is not enough.

Missing destination tags

XRP and some other assets require a destination tag or memo alongside the address, because the operator uses a single wallet for all players and the tag is what attributes your deposit to your account.

Send without one and the funds arrive at the casino but not at your balance. Resolvable through support, sometimes slowly, sometimes not at all.

Reused deposit addresses

Some operators issue a fresh deposit address each time and some reuse. Never assume an old address is still valid, particularly after a period of inactivity. Take a new one from the cashier each time.

The test transfer

Send a small amount first, confirm it arrives and is credited, then send the rest. This costs one extra network fee and eliminates almost every failure mode on this page.

This is the opposite of the test withdrawal fallacy. There you are trying to learn something about the casino, which a small amount cannot tell you. Here you are checking that you typed the right thing into the right field, which a small amount answers completely.

The checklist

1. Take a fresh deposit address from the cashier.
2. Confirm the network matches on both sides.
3. Copy the destination tag or memo if one is required.
4. Paste, then verify first six and last six characters.
5. Send a small test transfer.
6. Confirm it credited to your balance, not just that it appeared on chain.
7. Send the rest.
