How to bet with USDT in five steps

The full route, from an exchange or wallet to a settled bet and back.

  1. Step 1

    Get USDT

    Buy USDT on an exchange, or move it from a wallet you already use.

  2. Step 2

    Pick a book and a network

    Choose a sportsbook that lists USDT on a network you can send on.

  3. Step 3

    Deposit

    Copy the book's USDT address for that network and send from your wallet or exchange.

  4. Step 4

    Bet

    Pick a market, set your stake on the bet slip and confirm.

  5. Step 5

    Withdraw

    Once the book's deposit rule is met, withdraw to your own address on a cheap network.

Each step is covered below. If you want to compare the books first, start with USDT betting sites.

What you need before you bet with USDT

Four things, all of them quick to set up.

The stake
USDTbought on an exchange or held in a wallet
To send it on
A networkTron, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana or Polygon
A little gas
TRX or BNBonly when you send from your own wallet
An adult account
18+every book here is for adults only

Sending from an exchange is the simplest start: the exchange pays the network and charges you a fee in USDT, so you need no TRX or BNB.

Which network to use when you bet with USDT

USDT runs on several blockchains. Pick one your exchange or wallet and the book both list.

TRC-20 (Tron)

6 of 10 books

The most common choice on exchanges. Addresses start with T. See TRC20 betting sites.

BEP-20 (BNB Chain)

7 of 10 books

Cheap and quick, with 0x addresses. Taken by seven of the ten books. See BEP20 betting sites.

ERC-20 (Ethereum)

7 of 10 books

Widely taken but the dearest to send on when busy.

Solana

6 of 10 books

Fast and cheap; Thrill charges only 0.5 USDT to withdraw here.

Polygon

5 of 10 books

Low cost, 0x addresses, gas paid in POL.

TON

2 of 10 books

Taken by BC.Game and Cloudbet; Cloudbet asks for a memo.

The three main networks are compared in TRC-20 vs ERC-20 vs BEP-20.

How to deposit USDT at a sportsbook

Six checks that make a first deposit go through.

  • Choose USDT, then the network

    In the book's wallet pick USDT first, then the exact network you will send on.

  • Copy the address for that network

    Each network has its own address. Paste it; never type it.

  • Add the memo if asked

    Cloudbet asks for a memo with every TON deposit.

  • Send above the minimum

    BC.Game credits nothing below 1 USDT; check the cashier at other books.

  • Wait for confirmations

    Rainbet credits a deposit after one confirmation and Roobet after three.

  • Keep the transaction ID

    If the deposit is late, the ID shows on a block explorer whether it arrived.

Sent to the wrong network? Read USDT sent on the wrong network before you do anything else.

How to place a bet with USDT

The bet slip works the same at every book here.

Read the odds

The books here priced our sample matches in decimal odds. A price of 2.50 returns 2.50 USDT for every 1 USDT staked, stake included.

Betting odds explained covers what the price says about the book's margin.

Set the stake

Click a price, type the stake in USDT and check the payout before you confirm. Cloudbet and Dexsport also show the maximum stake on the slip.

Singles or accumulators

A single is one selection. An accumulator multiplies several prices, and the book's margin with them; see accumulator bets explained.

Live betting and cash out

Most books take bets while a match is on and offer cash out on some markets. See cash out betting explained.

How to withdraw USDT from a betting site

The smallest USDT withdrawal each book publishes. Below it, the withdrawal is refused.

  1. Rainbet$15per withdrawal
  2. Cloudbet (Tron)5 USDT1 USDT on BNB Chain, 0.1 on Ethereum
  3. Stake2.5 USDTevery network
  4. Thrill2.5 USDTevery network
  5. ShuffleIn the cashiernot published
  6. BC.GameIn the cashiernot published

Before any of that, most books want each deposit bet at least once. Duelbits asks for 10%, Shuffle nothing if you withdraw to the same address. For speed, see fast USDT withdrawals and how long USDT withdrawals take.

From USDT winnings to money in your bank

Sportsbooks pay out in crypto. Turning it into cash happens outside the book.

  1. Step 1

    Withdraw to an exchange

    Send USDT to your exchange's deposit address on the same network.

  2. Step 2

    Sell for your currency

    Sell USDT on the exchange for euros, pounds or dollars.

  3. Step 3

    Withdraw to your bank

    The exchange pays out to your bank under its own rules and fees.

Mistakes to avoid when you bet with USDT

The common ways a first USDT bet costs more than the stake.

  • The wrong network

    USDT sent on a network the book does not list may be lost.

  • A withdrawal before the deposit rule

    Stake and Thrill refuse a withdrawal of a deposit you have not bet with.

  • A bonus you can't clear

    An active bonus can lock your deposit. See USDT betting bonus.

  • A dear withdrawal network

    Cloudbet charges 3.19 USDT on Tron and under 0.01 on BNB Chain.

  • A blocked country

    Every book blocks some countries. Using one from there breaks its terms.

  • Betting more than you can lose

    Set a deposit limit before you start. Help lines are in the footer.
