Deposit Bitcoin Cash on Cryptoflip

Bitcoin Cash behaves like Bitcoin with roomier blocks, which in practice means the same ten-minute rhythm at a much lower cost to send. If you hold BCH, there is no reason to swap it before depositing.

What to know about Bitcoin Cash deposits

Bitcoin's timing, a fraction of the fee

BCH blocks land on roughly the same ten-minute schedule as Bitcoin, but block space is not contested in the same way, so the fee to send stays small and steady.

Small deposits still make sense

Because the transfer cost is low, funding a modest balance is not undermined by the fee, which is not always true of Bitcoin itself.

A separate chain from Bitcoin

Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin split years ago and are different networks. Your BCH address only accepts BCH, and a BTC address will not accept it either.

Watch out: BCH addresses may be shown in the older format or the newer cashaddr format. Copy whichever one the deposit screen gives you rather than converting it yourself.

How a deposit works

  1. 1. Pick your coin

    Choose which cryptocurrency you want to fund with. Each one gets its own address, so pick the one you actually hold rather than converting first.

  2. 2. Get your address

    Sign in and Cryptoflip generates a deposit address for that coin on the spot. It is yours, and it stays valid, so you can send to it more than once.

  3. 3. Send from any wallet or exchange

    Send whatever amount you want from wherever you keep funds. There is no form to fill in and no identity documents to upload.

  4. 4. Play once it confirms

    Your balance credits automatically once the network has confirmed the transfer, and you can go straight into a coin flip or the wheel.
