Litecoin casinos and betting sites

What Litecoin is, and why players use it

Litecoin is one of the oldest cryptocurrencies, launched in 2011 as a lighter, quicker version of Bitcoin. For casino players it has two practical advantages: transfers confirm quickly, and the network fee is small, so moving R200 or R500 doesn’t lose a noticeable slice to fees the way a Bitcoin transfer sometimes can.

That makes LTC a popular choice for players who already hold crypto, or who buy it on an exchange just to fund a casino account. Its price moves like any other coin’s, so the Rand value of what you hold can change between buying and depositing.

Which casinos accept Litecoin

In our data Litecoin is accepted mostly by crypto-first casinos, which also run their own provably fair games:

• BC.Game, BitStarz, Cloudbet, Rollbit, Roobet, Shuffle, Gamdom, BetFury and Thunderpick.
• Duelbits, which pairs crypto deposits with rakeback rather than a classic match bonus.
• Rand casinos that list crypto as an extra option, such as Imperial Wins, Thunderbolt Casino and Yebo Casino.

None of the provincially licensed South African bookmakers in our data takes Litecoin. If a local licence matters to you, use Ozow, Capitec Pay or a voucher such as 1Voucher at an SA-licensed brand instead.

The table on this page lists every brand in our data that accepts LTC, with the deposit and withdrawal options we could confirm.

How to deposit with Litecoin

1. Get LTC. Buy it on an exchange such as Luno, VALR or Binance after completing FICA, or use a wallet you already have.
2. Open the casino cashier. Choose Litecoin and copy the deposit address (or scan the QR code). Make sure the network is Litecoin itself, not a wrapped token on another chain.
3. Send the coins. Paste the address in your exchange or wallet, enter the amount and confirm. Check the first and last few characters of the address before you send.
4. Wait for confirmations. Most casinos credit the deposit after a few network confirmations, typically a few minutes.

Some casinos convert your deposit to dollars or Rands on arrival; others keep a balance in LTC. If the balance stays in LTC, its Rand value will move with the market while you play.

How to withdraw in Litecoin

1. Open the cashier, choose Litecoin as the withdrawal method and enter the amount.
2. Paste your own LTC wallet address, not the casino’s deposit address and not an exchange address on another network.
3. Confirm. Many crypto casinos approve withdrawals within minutes; a first withdrawal, a large amount or a pending ID check can take longer.
4. Once sent, the transfer usually confirms within minutes. To get Rands, sell the LTC on your exchange and withdraw to your bank.

Fees, limits and speed

• Network fee: small, usually a few cents to a few Rands, paid by the sender.
• Exchange costs: the spread or fee when you buy LTC with Rands and when you sell it again. Over a deposit-and-withdraw round trip this is often the biggest cost.
• Minimums: casinos set their own minimum deposit and withdrawal per coin, often stated in dollars.
• Speed: deposits in minutes; withdrawals as fast as the casino approves them.

Pros and cons

Pros

• Fast deposits and payouts compared with bank EFT
• Low network fees, so small deposits make sense
• Widely supported by crypto casinos

Cons

• Accepted mostly by offshore-licensed casinos, with no SA dispute route
• Payments can’t be reversed if you send to the wrong address
• Price swings between buying, playing and selling
• Exchange fees in and out of Rands add up

Bonuses and Litecoin deposits

Crypto casinos often run their own bonuses for coin deposits, such as rakeback, cashback or reload offers, which may differ from the Rand welcome bonus. Read whether a deposit method is excluded before you claim: some offers exclude certain coins or e-wallets. Our
