Bitcoin terms you'll meet on the way
If you already send Bitcoin, skip ahead. If not, these six terms explain everything that happens during an ff96 deposit.
| Term | What it means for your deposit |
|---|---|
| Wallet | The app or exchange account that holds your Bitcoin and sends it. |
| Address | A long string of letters and numbers that receives Bitcoin. ff96 shows one on its deposit page. |
| Transaction ID | The unique reference your wallet gives a payment once it is sent. It proves the payment exists. |
| Confirmation | The point where the Bitcoin network adds your payment to a block. This is the wait behind the 10–30 minutes. |
| Network fee | What the network charges to process the payment. Your wallet shows it before you send. |
| Seed phrase | The secret words that restore your wallet. Nobody needs it to receive a deposit, ff96 included. |
Before your first Bitcoin deposit
Three things to settle before you open the ff96 deposit page:
- Where your Bitcoin lives. Coins held on an exchange are sent from the exchange's app. Coins in your own wallet app are sent from there. Some exchanges have their own rules about where customers can send coins, so check with your exchange before you rely on it.
- How you will be paid. ff96 can't send Bitcoin back. Have a PayID linked to your bank, or a Skrill, Neteller or Payz account in your name, before you play. The ff96 PayID payment guide shows how to register a PayID.
- What the deposit is worth to you. Bitcoin's price in Australian dollars moves all the time. Decide the AU$ figure you are happy to spend first, and keep the deposit to that figure.
If you don't hold Bitcoin yet
You need coins in a wallet before you can deposit them. The usual route is to buy Bitcoin through a cryptocurrency exchange, paying in Australian dollars, and then either send it straight from the exchange or move it to a wallet app you control first. Each choice has trade-offs:
| Point | Sending from an exchange | Sending from your own wallet app |
|---|---|---|
| Who holds the keys | The exchange | You, through your seed phrase |
| Steps to deposit | Fewer: buy and send in one app | More: buy, move to your wallet, then send |
| Rules on where you can send | Set by the exchange | Set by you |
| If you lose access | The exchange's account recovery | Your seed phrase is the only way back |
Neither is required by ff96. Use whichever you already understand. If you are buying Bitcoin only to fund an ff96 session, compare that with paying by PayID, which needs no exchange, no wallet and no waiting.
Sending Bitcoin to ff96, step by step
- Log in to ff96, open the deposit page and choose Bitcoin.
- Enter an amount of AU$10 or more.
- Copy the deposit address ff96 shows, or scan its QR code with your wallet. Never type an address by hand.
- Paste the address into your wallet's send screen, then compare the first six and last six characters with the address on the ff96 page.
- Make sure you are sending Bitcoin on the Bitcoin network. If your wallet offers a choice of networks or coins, pick Bitcoin.
- Check the network fee your wallet quotes, and the total leaving your wallet.
- Send, then copy the transaction ID from your wallet and keep it until the deposit shows.
Your ff96 balance updates once the network confirms the transfer, normally within 30 minutes.
The network fee and the 10–30 minutes
PayID, cards and the e-wallets credit ff96 instantly because the payment is settled the moment you confirm it. Bitcoin works differently. Your payment waits with others until the network includes it in a block, and only then can ff96 see it as received.
The network fee is what decides your place in that queue. When many people are sending at once, fees rise; when the network is quiet, they fall. Most wallets suggest a fee for you, and some let you choose a lower or higher one. A very low fee can leave a payment waiting much longer than usual, so accept the wallet's standard suggestion unless you know what you are doing.
ff96 doesn't set or receive this fee, and it adds nothing on top. That is why the fee row in the table above reads "network fee" rather than an amount: the figure changes with network demand, and your wallet quotes the current one before you send.
A Bitcoin round trip, start to finish
A hypothetical evening, to show how the timings fit together.
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 7:40 pm | You choose Bitcoin on the ff96 deposit page, enter AU$40 and copy the address. |
| 7:42 pm | Your wallet quotes its standard network fee. You check the address and send. |
| 7:42 to 8:05 pm | The payment waits for a confirmation. Your wallet shows it as pending. |
| 8:05 pm | The transfer confirms and AU$40 appears in your ff96 balance. |
| Later that night | Your balance stands at AU$52. You withdraw AU$52 by PayID and it reaches your bank within 5 minutes. |
The slow step is the first one. Once the money is in your balance, play and payouts run at the same pace as for any other method.
Keeping your Bitcoin wallet safe
- Keep the seed phrase offline. Write it down and store it somewhere private. Never type it into a website or a chat.
- Turn on two-step sign-in for any exchange account, so a stolen password alone is not enough.
- Be wary of "support" messages. ff96 will never ask for your seed phrase, private keys or exchange login. Anyone who does is not ff96.
- Update your wallet app. Updates often fix security problems, and an old version may show fees or networks differently.
Mistakes that cost Bitcoin deposits
A bank can sometimes reverse a mistaken transfer. A Bitcoin payment can't be recalled once it is sent, so these are worth knowing in advance.
| Mistake | What happens | How to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| Typing the address by hand | One wrong character sends coins somewhere else | Copy and paste, or scan the QR code |
| Choosing another network or coin | The payment may never reach your ff96 balance | Send Bitcoin on the Bitcoin network only |
| Reusing an old deposit address | The payment may be harder to match to your account | Take the address from the deposit page each time |
| Not checking the pasted address | Malicious software can swap a copied address | Compare the first and last six characters |
| Setting a very low fee | The confirmation can take far longer than 30 minutes | Use your wallet's standard fee |
| Sending again to "push" the first | Two payments to trace instead of one | Wait, check the transaction, then ask live chat |
Bitcoin's price and your spending
Bitcoin's value in Australian dollars moves every minute, sometimes sharply. That matters for a casino deposit in two ways.
First, think in dollars, not coins. A deposit is easier to keep inside a budget when you decide it as "AU$40 tonight" rather than as a fraction of a Bitcoin. The ff96 deposit page asks for an amount in Australian dollars for the same reason.
Second, keep spending money and investment money apart. If you hold Bitcoin as a long-term investment, depositing part of it at a casino mixes two very different decisions. Many players who use Bitcoin at ff96 keep a separate, small wallet balance for play, and leave the rest untouched.
When your balance comes back out, it comes out in Australian dollars, by PayID or a payout wallet. Any later move back into Bitcoin is a fresh purchase on your exchange.
Bitcoin next to other ways to fund ff96
| Point | Bitcoin | PayID | Card or phone wallet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arrives | 10–30 minutes | Instantly | Instantly |
| Cost from ff96 | No fee | No fee | No fee |
| Can be recalled if you make a mistake? | No | Ask your bank | Ask your card issuer |
| Pays winnings back? | No | Yes, within 5 minutes | No |
Bitcoin makes sense if you already hold coins and want to use them. If you are buying Bitcoin only to deposit, PayID is quicker and has fewer steps. The ff96 banking overview compares all nine methods.
Who Bitcoin suits at ff96
- Good fit: you already hold Bitcoin, you're comfortable checking addresses and networks, and a 10–30 minute wait before play is fine.
- Poor fit: you would be buying Bitcoin just for this deposit, you want to play straight away, or you're unsure how to choose a network in your wallet.
If you fall in the second group, PayID gives you the same AU$10 starting point, instant credit and a payout route in one.
If your Bitcoin hasn't arrived
- Under 30 minutes since sending: give it time. Confirmation is still the likely wait.
- Over 30 minutes: look up the transaction ID in your wallet. If it shows as unconfirmed, it is still in the network's queue, usually because of a low fee or a busy network.
- Confirmed, but your balance hasn't moved: contact ff96 live chat, open 24/7, with the amount, the date and time and the transaction ID.
Don't send a second payment while you wait. Two transfers are harder to trace than one.
Getting paid after a Bitcoin deposit
Your ff96 balance doesn't remember that Bitcoin filled it. When your balance is AU$30 or more, open the withdrawal page and choose PayID, Skrill, Neteller or Payz. Each pays within 5 minutes with no ff96 fee, and PayID's time is guaranteed. The ff96 withdrawal times guide goes through each payout method, and e-wallets at ff96 compares the three wallets.
Before any deposit, it helps to fix a spending figure for the week. Deposit limits at ff96 shows how to make that figure stick.
