Getting money into an offshore casino is usually easy. Getting it out is where the waiting, the fees and the paperwork come in. This guide covers both sides for players in the United States. The figures come from the banking pages and terms of 18 offshore casinos we track, checked in October 2026. Limits and fees change, so confirm them in the casino's cashier before you rely on them.
Why crypto has taken over
All 18 casinos we track take Bitcoin. For CasinoMax we're going by review sites, because its own site wouldn't load for us. Litecoin and Ethereum are accepted almost as widely, and most also take Bitcoin Cash or Tether (USDT). Nine of the casinos we track accept the Bitcoin Lightning network, among them Bovada, Slots.lv, Sloto'Cash and Uptown Aces, and several take Lightning deposits from $5.
The reason is the banks. A 2006 federal law, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, puts the burden on gambling businesses and the payment system rather than on players. Banks and card networks have to screen for and block payments tied to unlawful internet gambling, and in practice that catches offshore casinos. So a card deposit at an offshore casino can work one day and get declined the next. Mandarin Palace's own banking page tells players to wait at least 5 to 10 minutes between attempts and to make sure their card is enabled for international purchases. That tells you how often cards fail.
Crypto skips the bank in the middle, which is why it's usually the fastest way in and the fastest way out.
Depositing with a card
Most casinos still take Visa and Mastercard, and some take Amex and Discover. Expect a minimum around $20 to $25 and a per-transaction maximum between $1,000 and $1,500. Fees vary. Bovada charges nothing on your first card deposit but takes a percentage on later ones, while Sloto'Cash lists a charge of $0.01 to $1.
Your card issuer may also add its own cash advance or foreign transaction fee, and that's between you and the bank. If you plan to deposit by card regularly, check your card's terms first.
Depositing with crypto
The usual route is to buy Bitcoin or Litecoin on a US exchange, then send it to the deposit address the casino's cashier gives you. A few practical points:
- Copy the address from the cashier each time rather than reusing an old one.
- Send at least the minimum. Slots.lv says crypto deposits below the minimum are not honored.
- Network fees come out of what you send, so leave room for them.
- Litecoin and Lightning are cheaper and faster to move than regular Bitcoin.
Some casinos also offer peer-to-peer services or other wallets. Bovada and Slots.lv have MatchPay, Red Stag lists Google Pay, and Vegas2Web lists PayPal and Cash App. We haven't confirmed that all of those work for US players, so test them with a small amount first.
How you can withdraw
The cashout options are narrower than the deposit options. At most casinos you get three choices: crypto, a bank wire or a courier check. Paying back to a card is rare. Golden Lion lists Visa and Mastercard withdrawals, but most don't. At Las Vegas USA and Vegas Casino Online, players who deposited by card have to cash out by Bitcoin, wire or check.
Crypto withdrawals are often limited to Bitcoin even where deposits take a dozen coins. Sloto'Cash, Uptown Aces and Las Vegas USA all pay out crypto in Bitcoin only. Some casinos attach conditions too. The four sister casinos (Black Lotus, Jumba Bet, Lucky Creek and Mandarin Palace) only pay Bitcoin if at least half of your deposits over the last three months were in crypto. Vegas2Web pays crypto only on wins from crypto deposits.
Many casinos also want you to withdraw the same way you deposited when that method allows it. Plan your deposit with your withdrawal in mind.
Minimums
The most common minimum withdrawal is $100 for Bitcoin or wire and $150 for a check. That matters with no deposit bonuses, because a $100 cashout cap can leave you exactly at the minimum. Bovada and Slots.lv are the lowest, with some crypto withdrawals from $10, though Bovada's Bitcoin minimum is $75. Bovada is the exception on the high side for wires, with a $1,500 minimum and one wire every 30 days.
Fees
Bitcoin withdrawals are free at almost every casino that states a fee. Checks and wires are where the costs are:
- Courier check: $60 is typical (Miami Club, Red Stag, Sloto'Cash)
- Bank wire: $50 is typical. The four sister casinos charge $20.
- Vegas2Web charges $35 on check and wire withdrawals under $500.
- iNetBet and Kudos give you one free withdrawal every 30 days, then charge 2% to 10% depending on the method.
On a $150 cashout, a $60 check fee takes 40% of it. If you're withdrawing small amounts, Bitcoin is almost always the better choice.
How long it takes
Withdrawals usually start with a pending period of 24 to 72 hours while the casino reviews them. Some casinos let you cancel a pending withdrawal and play the money again, so if you're trying to stop, don't open the cashier while you wait.
After approval, these are the times the casinos state:
- Crypto: within an hour for most coins at Bovada and Slots.lv (up to 24 hours for Bitcoin), and 2 or 3 business days at many others
- Bank wire: roughly 5 to 15 business days
- Courier check: roughly 4 to 12 business days
Some casinos only pay on set days. Jumba Bet, Lucky Creek and Mandarin Palace process payouts on Mondays and Thursdays, Black Lotus on Tuesdays and Fridays, and several casinos don't process on weekends. Your first withdrawal also waits for identity checks, covered on our ID verification page. That's often the longest part.
Weekly limits and installments
Most offshore casinos cap how much they pay out each week, and large wins are paid in installments. Some examples from the casinos' own pages:
- BoVegas and Golden Lion: $2,000 a week, one request a week
- Sloto'Cash: $5,000 a week and $20,000 a month
- Uptown Aces and Vegas2Web: $5,000 a week
- The four sister casinos: wins up to $2,500 are paid in one go, larger ones in installments
Vegas2Web also limits a new player's first withdrawal to $1,000. Bovada and Slots.lv have much higher crypto limits than the rest, with weekly Bitcoin caps of $90,000 and $100,000.
A $10,000 win at a casino with a $2,000 weekly cap takes five weeks to reach you. Check the limit before you play for big stakes, not after you win.
The "wager your deposit once" rule
Most casinos require you to bet each deposit at least once before withdrawing it. This stops people from using the casino as a way to move money. If you deposit $100 and want it back without playing, expect a fee or a refusal. The four sister casinos charge at least $20 in that case.
If you stop playing for a while
Balances don't sit forever. Accounts with no activity can be closed and the balance taken after a set time: 180 days at iNetBet and Kudos (which say the balance can be restored), 12 months at Las Vegas USA and Vegas Casino Online, and 18 months at Bovada. If you're leaving money in an account, log in now and then or withdraw it.
A few habits that save trouble
Use payment methods in your own name. Keep your crypto wallet address and your casino details matching from the first deposit. Make a small test withdrawal early, before you have a large balance to worry about. And keep screenshots of your cashier history, since that's what you'll need if a payment goes missing.
