The chain, the address and the fee

Crypto networks and fees: the same coin, a different network, a different price

The same coin can travel on more than one chain, and every chain works out its fee by its own method. Here is the logic of choosing a network, the memo and tag fields, the clauses operators write about networks, and the three deductions taken out of the amount sent.

The subject of crypto networks and fees rests on one question: which chain does the coin you send travel on, and who collects the price of that journey? A token with the same name can exist separately on several chains; the chains do not see one another's records and they work out their fees by different methods.

The protocol information on this page was read from the relevant documents on 15 September 2026: bitcoin.org, ethereum.org, the TRON developer documentation, Tether's supported-protocols page and the XRP Ledger documentation. The date each operator clause was read is beside the clause.

One token, many chains

The most familiar example is USDT. According to Tether's list, USD₮ is issued separately on Ethereum, Tron, BNB Smart Chain, Solana, TON, Avalanche and other chains. The label on the cashier screen tells you which chain's standard the token was minted to:

Nor is the list of chains fixed. On the same page Tether states that it no longer issues tokens for Omni, EOS, Algorand, Kusama and Bitcoin Cash SLP, and that it carries no obligation to redeem USD₮ on those chains. A network that was once widespread may have dropped off the cashier's list today.

The labels carrying the same token name does not mean the chains can stand in for one another. The send happens on the chain you select in the wallet; if the cashier is not watching that chain, the amount will not appear in your account. For Bitcoin, bitcoin.org writes it plainly: the only party that can reverse a confirmed transaction is the one who received the money.

What the operators write about networks

The name of the network usually stands not in the terms but on the cashier screen. Even so, a few operators have carried the subject into their own text:

  • Rainbet, cl. 7.9 (2 September 2026): writes that deposits arriving over a coin or network it does not support run a high risk of being lost for good. The clause does not list which networks it supports.
  • Wolfbet, cl. 14 §9 (15 September 2026): defines the minimum amount per coin, per network or per payment method. Where there is no minimum on screen, eight decimal places — or the lower precision the network supports — is taken as the measure; complying with the other warnings on the deposit page is also treated as the user's business.
  • Rocketpot, cl. 7.1 and 10.1 (15 September 2026): lists USDTE and USDTT as two separate codes without explaining which chain each code belongs to.
  • Shuffle.com, cl. 10.2 (8 September 2026): on a crypto withdrawal to the same wallet and over the same network, it does not require the deposit to have been wagered once.

The four clauses meet at the same point: the choice of network is treated as the user's responsibility. The place to look before you send is the network label on the cashier screen. For the list of chains and the thresholds on the stablecoin side, see the Tether networks and USDT thresholds page.

What happens when you send to the wrong network

A send made over the wrong network usually looks “lost”, but the transaction has generally happened on the chain: the amount was written to that address on the chain you selected. The problem is that the cashier is not watching that chain. So the send has left your wallet and never reached the casino balance at all.

The operators record that situation as a risk in their own texts. Rainbet's cl. 7.9 says an amount arriving from an unsupported network can be lost for good; Wolfbet's cl. 14 §9 adds that such sends may be rejected on the chain or by the provider. For tokens, ethereum.org gives a separate warning: ERC-20 tokens can be lost permanently when they go to a smart contract that cannot handle them.

What you can do in such a case is limited, but it is not nothing:

  • Record the transaction ID (TX ID), the sending address, the name of the network you selected and a screenshot of the cashier screen.
  • Write to the support team with those four pieces of information and state plainly which chain the amount is sitting on.
  • Know that the outcome is at the operator's discretion; none of the texts promises a refund.

Memo and tag: when the address is not enough on its own

On some chains the cashier uses a single address for all its customers and works out whose money it is from an extra field. The XRP Ledger documentation calls that field a destination tag: on a payment to an exchange or a service, it shows which customer's account the amount is to be credited to.

According to the same documentation, on a payment arriving without a tag it is not immediately clear whose account it goes to and manual intervention may be needed. If the recipient wishes, they can switch on a setting that has the chain reject untagged payments outright.

If the cashier screen shows a memo, tag or label field next to the address, treat that field as being as important as the address and do not leave it empty. If there is no such field on screen, do not invent a value of your own. The whole order of the deposit screen is in the six steps at the cashier guide.

Crypto networks and fees: how the fee is worked out

The arithmetic of the chain fee differs from network to network. The three big chains use three different methods:

  • Bitcoin. bitcoin.org ties the fee to the size of the transaction in bytes. Transactions that spend several old inputs together, or that use a multi-signature address, can come more expensive.
  • Ethereum. The formula on ethereum.org: the amount of gas used times the price per gas, where that price is the sum of the base fee and the priority fee. A plain ETH transfer costs 21,000 gas, and the base fee is burned as the block is formed.
  • Tron. TRON's resource model counts three system resources: Bandwidth, Energy and TRON Power. Smart-contract calls consume Energy as well; when staked TRX and the free quota do not cover the cost, the network can burn TRX from the sender's balance.

What the three methods have in common is that the fee is set not by the amount sent but by the space the transaction takes up on the network or the computation it requires. On the same chain, a send of 20 USDT and a send of 2,000 USDT pay a similar fee; in the first the fee is a far larger share of the amount.

There is also the question of which coin the fee is paid in. On Ethereum it is ETH, and on Tron TRX when the resources fall short; a send started from a wallet holding only tokens may be unable to set off at all for want of a fee coin.

The three deductions taken out of the amount sent

There is no single “commission”. There are three deductions independent of one another, and the three go to different places:

  1. The network fee → to the chain. Not in the operator's hands; it is worked out by the methods above.
  2. The cashier fee → to the operator. In cl. 8.2 Rainbet takes no fee from a withdrawal where the deposit has been turned over once in play (2 September 2026). In cl. 10.7 Shuffle.com says a fee may arise, but that it will be written on screen before the confirmation button (8 September 2026).
  3. The conversion difference → to the exchange. The gap between the buy and the sell price when the coin is converted into lira or into another coin, that is the spread. It does not appear as a separate fee line; it is buried in the price.

Let us set it out with an example. 100 USDT leaves your wallet; the chain fee comes either out of that amount or out of the ETH or TRX balance in the wallet. When you play at the cashier and withdraw your winnings, the operator's fee, if it has one, is deducted and the chain fee is paid once more. And when you convert the USDT that reaches the exchange into lira, the spread comes into play. Think of the sum of those three items as the real cost of a deposit; even if one of them is zero, the others stay where they are. Where the spread arises at an exchange and the steps on the lira side are set out on the route that moves winnings into lira page.

On a withdrawal you choose the network too

The choice of network is not only a question for a deposit. When you withdraw your winnings, you supply the address; the cashier sends to that address over the network you select on screen. If the receiving wallet or exchange account does not support that network, the very mistake made on a deposit happens in the other direction.

The operators' clauses on the route out revolve around the network and the wallet too:

  • Rocketpot, cl. 11.1: payment is kept to the coin and the wallet used for the deposit (2 September 2026).
  • Rainbet, cl. 8.4: requires the withdrawal to be made by the method used for the deposit (2 September 2026).
  • Shuffle.com, cl. 10.2: lifts the wagering requirement on a crypto withdrawal to the same wallet and the same network.

If you are withdrawing the money to an exchange account, look at the network label the exchange shows for that coin and at the memo field if there is one; the address and the tag you paste into the cashier should be taken character for character from the exchange's screen.

Crypto networks and fees: six steps before you send

The deposit screen follows the same order at every cashier. A mistake at two of the steps cannot be undone, so we have marked those in particular:

  1. The coin. Is the coin you are going to send on the cashier's list?
  2. The network (cannot be undone). Is the network label on the cashier screen letter for letter the same as the selection in your wallet?
  3. The address and the memo. Copy and paste the address and compare the first and last characters; if there is an extra field, fill that in too.
  4. The amount (cannot be undone). Is the amount that reaches the cashier, once the fee is deducted, above the minimum? Rocketpot cl. 10.2 holds the threshold at 0.001 BTC and treats a smaller send as lost; Bitcasino.io cl. 5 does not refund a deposit below the threshold.
  5. The confirmation. How many confirmations does the operator write? The numbers are compared on the cashiers' confirmation counts page.
  6. The balance. If the amount does not appear, keep the transaction ID (TX ID), the sending address and a screenshot of the cashier screen, and pass them to the support team.

Which wallet you send from also changes the length of the chain; you will find the difference between an exchange account and your own wallet on the who holds the key page.

Frequently asked questions

Which should I choose between TRC20, ERC20 and BEP20?
The network written next to the address on the cashier screen. All three can carry USDT, but the cashier credits only a send on the chain it watches. Rainbet writes in cl. 7.9 of the risk of permanent loss on a deposit arriving over an unsupported network. Once you have chosen, check as well whether your wallet holds that chain's fee coin — ETH, TRX or BNB.
What happens if I leave the memo or tag field empty?
According to the XRP Ledger documentation, on a payment arriving without a tag it is not immediately clear which customer the amount belongs to and manual intervention may be needed; some recipients have untagged payments rejected on the chain. If the cashier screen shows that field, always fill it in. If you forgot, write to the support team with the transaction ID and the sending address.
Who pays the network fee?
On a deposit the chain fee is paid by the sender, that is by you; the amount comes out of the coin you send or out of the chain's own coin. Whether the cashier also takes a fee depends on the operator: Rainbet cl. 8.2 charges no withdrawal fee on a wagered deposit, and Shuffle.com cl. 10.7 says that where a fee does arise it is shown on screen before the confirmation.
