Verify a Casino Deposit: the hash is your receipt
Each and every transfer you make will generate a record that is not controlled by the casino, nor subject to unilateral amendment by the casino. It takes about 30 seconds to view (once you know the site to visit and the field to check) and usually resolves any dispute over deposits before it even arises.

| Network | Explorer | What you paste | Where your stablecoin appears |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | etherscan.io | 0x and 64 hex characters | Tokens Transferred |
| Tron | tronscan.org | 64 hex, no 0x | TRC-20 transfer |
| Solana | solscan.io | A signature, base58 | Token Balance Change |
| BNB Chain | bscscan.com | 0x and 64 hex characters | Tokens Transferred |
| Polygon | polygonscan.com | 0x and 64 hex characters | Tokens Transferred |
| Base | basescan.org | 0x and 64 hex characters | Tokens Transferred |
| Arbitrum | arbiscan.io | 0x and 64 hex characters | Tokens Transferred |
| Optimism | optimistic.etherscan.io | 0x and 64 hex characters | Tokens Transferred |
Six of the eight use the same format, so pasting an Ethereum hash into Polygonscan yields nothing found. The hash is correct; the chain is not. Tron removes the 0x from the beginning, and Solana has a much longer base58 signature, so both appear incorrect to anyone expecting the EVM format.
What a block explorer proves about a casino deposit
It fully responds to four questions, leaving one unanswered, and understanding which is which saves an argument.
That the transfer happened, and succeeded
If the transaction has a status of success, it means the network executed it. The network also records transactions that did not go through (usually with the reason), in which case your money was never deducted. Both are public to anyone with the hash and do not rely on the casino's agreement with you.
Exactly what arrived, and where
The token, the amount to the last decimal, the sending address and the receiving address. If the receiving address is the same as that printed by the cashier, the money is on the casino, regardless of the balance displayed on the screen.
When, to the second
The block timestamp is the time the network settled it. This is what turns "it has been ages" into a number, and it is the difference between a support ticket that is escalated and one that is not.
What it will not tell you
Whether the casino has credited you. Crediting is an internal decision made after some number of confirmations, and the chain has no view of it. An explorer proves the money arrived. It cannot prove what happened next.
A successful USDT transfer displays 0 value, causing people to panic daily. The Value field on an EVM chain indicates the native coin sent, which is 0 ETH or 0 BNB for a token transfer. Under Tokens Transferred, further down the page, your stablecoin will be listed together with the amount and addresses. For a successful transaction, 0 in the Value field is not indicative of a lost deposit and is the desired output.
How to verify a casino deposit, step by step
Six steps that will take only a few seconds to do, but are worth doing once before you need to do it under pressure.
- 01
Copy the hash from where you sent it
Your transaction ID will be shown in the details of the transaction by every wallet and every exchange, sometimes under a heading TxID or, on Solana, signature. Make sure you copy this before you exit the page.
- 02
Open the explorer for that exact chain
Refer to the above table. The biggest false alarm here is that users mistakenly check for USDT on Etherscan by sending USDT on Polygon.
- 03
Check the status first
Successful means the network has nothing more to be done about it. Pending means it is pending on the queue, nothing to escalate yet. Failed means the funds never left your wallet, save the fee.
- 04
Read the token line, not the value line
On Solscan, verify the transfer of tokens or the change in token balance. Make sure that the token to be sent is the one you chose and that the quantity is the one you wanted.
- 05
Match the receiving address to the cashier
At a minimum, compare the first six and last six characters. This is the step that catches a deposit being sent to an old address from a previous session.
- 06
Save the page
Save a screenshot or keep the explorer link handy. Casino balances will change and support threads will be closed, but the transaction history will remain intact.
What the explorer shows when a casino deposit is late
There are only four possible states that a delayed transfer can occupy, and the explorer reveals to you which state you are observing.
Pending, so nothing is wrong yet
The transaction is broadcast but as yet unconfirmed. On a busy Ethereum block, this can take a few minutes, and on Tron or Solana, it is usually done in a matter of seconds. Please wait before opening a ticket.
Confirmed, so the delay is at the casino
The money is in the casino's address and the balance is static. This is the only time a support ticket has any weight because you're citing a record they can't question.
Confirmed to a different address
The transfer was successful and went elsewhere. Only the owner of the address to which the transfer was made can recover it, and only the hash will help anyone tell you who that is.
Confirmed, on the wrong network
The amount and token look correct and the chain is not the same as the tab you deposited from. This is the failure every cashier warns about, it's just that it's visible in the explorer, and the address formats explain why it is even possible.
Only one of our listed casinos reveals the length of its confirmed-but-not-credited window. Mega Dice says deposits will be credited after just one network confirmation, which is as quick as it gets. The other nine have this set to an internal parameter, which is why the same transfer might appear at one casino within seconds and a few minutes later at another. We compiled the casinos' claims regarding speed on instant USDT withdrawals.
What to send support about a missing deposit
The five items are what all the support agents at every casino are asking for, and a first message providing all of them saves two rounds trips.
Please provide the transaction hash, the amount and token used (exact), the network used, the address that will be sent to the explorer (the address you received), the time obtained from the block, and the explorer link.
Equally, discretion is paramount. Evidence of your wallet cash via a screenshot is useless because a wallet balance is just a number on a screen, and those are easy to contrive. The incomparable artefact in the exchange is the hash, which neither buyer nor seller has control over, unlike the screenshot.
If that transfer ended up on the correct address, and yet after the time frame, according to the casino's own FAQs, your balance is still not updated, then you are in possession of a paper trail showing a completed transfer to an address that is controlled by the operator. This is a vastly stronger position to be in compared to making vague complaints about a number on a display, and this is why this thirty-second habit of mine is worth stealing.
At Razed, our own round trip was exactly this, with the deposit taking 1 minute 37 seconds and withdraw taking 3 minutes 25 seconds to arrive at an external wallet (Ethereum; a network fee of 0.50 was visible on the screen prior to confirmation).
Questions about verifying a casino deposit
How do I check if my casino deposit went through? 
Head to the wallet or exchange you sent from and copy the transaction hash, then paste it in the relevant explorer: Etherscan for Ethereum, Tronscan for Tron, Solscan for Solana, and the appropriate scan site for BNB Chain, Polygon, Base, Arbitrum, or Optimism. The explorer independently verifies whether the transfer was successful and which address it was sent to, regardless of what the casino claims.
Why does my USDT transfer show a value of zero?
Because on an EVM chain, the Value displays the native coin transferred, which in the case of a token transfer is 0 ETH, or 0 BNB. Your stablecoin appears further down, in the Tokens Transferred, or ERC-20 section. A value of 0 on a successful transaction is perfectly normal and does not indicate a failed deposit.
The explorer says success but the casino has not credited me. What now?
Compare the receiving address on the explorer with the address provided by the cashier, character by character at both ends. If they match, the transfer has been received and the delay is on the casino's end, which is the reason the hash is provided. Provide support with the hash, amount, network, and timestamp.
How many confirmations does a casino wait for?
Almost none of them post it. The only casino on our list that gives a figure is Mega Dice, after one network confirmation. Elsewhere, it's an internal setting, which is why two casinos from the same network can credit the same movement within minutes.
What does a transaction hash look like?
On Ethereum and the other EVM chains it is 0x followed by 64 hexadecimal characters. On Tron it is the same 64 characters with no 0x in front. On Solana it is called a signature and it is a longer base58 string. Pasting an EVM hash into the wrong chain's explorer returns nothing found, which looks alarming and only means you are on the wrong site.
Should I keep the transaction hash after a deposit?
Yes, for every deposit and withdrawal. This is the only record of the transfer that the casino does not possess, it costs nothing to save, and it is the first thing any support agent will ask for. It is advisable to have a screenshot of the explorer page handy.

This page serves as the proof. These are the figures that need proof.
Before you send
This USDT minimum deposit comparison applies to every casino floor, and the guide below the minimum deposit is based on the four casinos that state a short deposit is lost.
What the transfer costs
We compare TRc-20 against ERC-20 and Solana prices the three fee models the explorer shows you, including why a Tron send is no longer the cheap option it is advertised as.

I spent two years on the support side of a crypto payment processor, and the tickets that resolved in one reply were the ones that arrived with a hash in them. The rest turned into a week of screenshots. Every figure on this site is recorded the same way, which is the only reason any of it can be checked.
