Note on checking
USD deposit checklist: five questions before money moves
Operators word things differently, and the same five questions work on all of them. They take a minute and they separate a dollar balance from a coin priced like one, which is the whole point of reading a cashier.
None of the questions needs a number from this site. They need the screen in front of you.
What is written beside the balance?
A currency code such as USD or EUR, or a coin ticker such as USDT or BTC. A dollar sign next to a coin is a display. A code that names a fiat currency is a different thing, and it is the first fact to settle. At Duelbits the screen can show sixteen currencies over a balance that is kept in one, so the code on the screen is not always the unit of the books.
Is the route a payment or a transfer?
A card, bank or e-wallet is a payment, handled by a processor, and it ends in a currency or in a purchase of coins. A deposit address is a transfer, and it ends in a coin on a network that you must match exactly. Roobet and Stake both describe card routes that hand you to a third-party service; that handover is the sign that a purchase is under way.
Where does the conversion happen, and at what rate?
If the unit you send and the unit of the balance differ, a conversion is built in. The cashier should show the amount you will receive before you confirm. If it does not, stop there. The only rate that matters is the one displayed at that moment, and none is printed on this site.
What is the smallest amount, and in what unit?
A floor written in dollars and a floor written in a coin are different promises, and Sportsbet.io says its deposit minimums are what it receives after network fees. Send slightly more than the floor and check what the cashier says today.
What would you receive on the way out?
Open the withdrawal screen before the first deposit. At Duelbits all withdrawals are in cryptocurrency; at BitStarz the page lists e-wallets as well. The answer decides whether a dollar balance is something you can take out as dollars.
What to do with the answers
If all five are clear, start with an amount you could forget about and run the whole round trip once: deposit, check what was credited, open the withdrawal screen and read what it offers. The cost of a small test is a slightly larger share lost to fixed fees, which BetFury's own example shows, and the gain is knowing how the cashier behaves with your money before the amount is large.
If one answer is missing, ask support in writing before depositing, and keep the reply with a screenshot of the screen it refers to. An operator that cannot say which unit its balance is kept in has told you something about the cashier already.
Two quick answers
| Do the five questions apply to every operator? | Yes. They ask about the screen, not about the brand, and they work wherever a cashier shows a unit. |

| What if the cashier cannot answer one? | Ask support in writing before depositing, and keep the reply. |
