Bitcoin at Ginga
Bitcoin is the one rail at Ginga that ignores banking hours entirely. There is no issuer to decline a gambling merchant code, no cut-off time and no weekend pause — but there is a network fee that changes hour by hour, a wait for confirmations, and an exchange rate that moves while your transfer is in flight. Those three costs are the honest price of the speed and reach, and this page sets out what each one meant in our own tests.

Depositing with Bitcoin
Open the cashier, pick Bitcoin, and the system generates a one-off address with a QR code beside it. Copy it using the copy button rather than typing it out — address-swapping malware exists precisely to catch hand-typed strings — and check the first and last four characters against the screen before you send. The minimum is about 50 € equivalent, quoted in the coin, so the exact BTC figure shifts with the market. Below that threshold the network fee takes an unreasonable share of the transfer and the deposit may not clear the cashier floor at all.
The credit is automatic once the network has confirmed the transaction. In practice that took ten minutes to an hour in our tests, depending on how busy the mempool was and how generous a fee the sending wallet attached. Ginga charges nothing on top. If you have never sent to this operator before, a small test transfer that lands first is worth the extra fee, because an on-chain mistake cannot be reversed by anyone.
Withdrawing to Bitcoin
The minimum withdrawal is 50 €, higher than the 20 € that applies on Trustly or Skrill, for the same fee-proportion reason. Request the payout in the cashier and wait for the operator's review, which takes up to 24 hours; the transaction is then broadcast and reached the wallet inside that same window in our tests, weekends included. That consistency is Bitcoin's real advantage — a SEPA payout requested on Friday evening usually waits until Tuesday, whereas the blockchain does not observe holidays.
Money goes back to the coin you deposited with, so a Bitcoin deposit is paid out in Bitcoin, to a wallet address you supply at the time of the request. Verification still applies in full: crypto is pseudonymous, not anonymous, and the operator asks for a citizen card or passport, a proof of address under three months old, and a proof of payment before releasing a first payout. Send those documents right after registration and the 24-hour window is spent on the blockchain instead of on paperwork.
Confirmations and the network fee
A confirmation is a block that has been mined on top of the one containing your transaction, and the operator waits for a set number of them before crediting — that is the entire reason a Bitcoin deposit is not instant. The fee is paid to miners, not to the casino, and it is set by the sending wallet: attach a low fee when the network is congested and the transfer can sit unconfirmed for hours. Most wallets offer a priority setting, and on a 50 € transfer paying a slightly higher fee to clear in one block is usually the better trade. Lighter alternatives exist — USDT on TRC20 costs cents and settles in a minute or two, as covered in the crypto guide.
Volatility against a euro balance
Your Ginga balance is denominated in euros, so a Bitcoin deposit is converted at the rate ruling when it confirms rather than when you press send. On a calm day the difference is trivial; on a volatile one the credited figure will not match the arithmetic you did beforehand, and the same conversion happens in reverse when you cash out. If you want the number on the balance to equal the number you sent, use a stablecoin or a bank rail. If you already hold Bitcoin and simply want to move it without touching a bank, this is the shortest path in the cashier. The full comparison sits on the payments hub.
