Deposit fee questions
Does a cashier with no listed deposit fee mean the payment is free?
No. The operator may show no fee while your issuer, bank, wallet provider, prepaid seller, exchange or crypto network still applies a cost.
Can a card deposit be treated as a cash advance?
Yes. Some issuers can classify gambling-related card transactions as cash advances. Check issuer terms and save the statement descriptor before relying on the cashier display.
Can small deposits be more affected by fees?
Yes. Fixed provider, prepaid, wire, exchange or network costs can create a larger percentage burden on smaller deposits.
What should I save before disputing a fee?
Save the cashier screen, amount, method, fee line, statement descriptor, transaction ID or TXID, provider terms and any support ticket.
