SticPay is an international e-wallet that is better known among online traders and players in Asia than in Western Europe, and it appears mostly at offshore and crypto-friendly casinos. Players use it because it handles many currencies, can be funded with cryptocurrency as well as traditional methods, and offers a route to casinos that local banks will not pay directly.
How to deposit with SticPay at an online casino
SticPay grew up serving forex and trading platforms before spreading to casinos, which explains its design. You open an account, verify your identity and load money using one of several funding routes, which depending on your country can include local bank transfers, cards and cryptocurrencies. Your balance can be held in multiple currencies, and you then use it to pay the casino.
The crypto funding option is the distinctive part. A player who holds digital currency can top up SticPay and then pay a casino in a fiat currency, so the casino sees a normal wallet payment rather than a blockchain transaction. When you fund with crypto, the amount credited depends on the exchange rate at the time, and you must send coins on the correct network to the address SticPay provides.
At the casino, you choose SticPay, enter your account email or ID, and approve the payment on SticPay's page.
Like many wallets used in trading, SticPay may require you to verify the funding source before allowing larger crypto top-ups or bank deposits. Completing the full verification at sign-up, including proof of address, means that your first casino deposit and your first withdrawal are less likely to be held while documents are reviewed.
- Create a SticPay account and complete identity verification.
- Fund the wallet with a local method or a supported cryptocurrency.
- Check which currency balance you will pay from.
- Select SticPay in the casino cashier and enter the amount.
- Log in to SticPay and approve the payment.
- Confirm the deposit appears in your casino account.
Withdrawing with SticPay
In our data, 15 of the 19 casinos that accept SticPay also pay withdrawals to it. The fastest crypto and e-wallet payouts come from GGBET (0-1 hours).
Casinos that accept SticPay usually support withdrawals back to the same account. Once the casino approves your request, the money is generally credited to your wallet quickly, often within hours, and the SticPay account must be in your own name.
From SticPay you can withdraw to a local bank account, send funds out as cryptocurrency where supported, or in some regions use a linked prepaid card. Each route has its own processing time and fee, and local bank withdrawals depend on the banking partners SticPay uses in your country. Cashing out to crypto adds the usual network fee and exchange rate considerations.
Higher withdrawal amounts may trigger extra checks at SticPay, such as source of funds questions. Keeping your profile complete and your documents up to date reduces the chance of a payout being delayed.
Fees, limits and processing times
SticPay generally charges fees for some funding methods, for withdrawals out of the wallet and for currency conversion, and these vary by method and region. Casinos themselves may or may not add a charge. Because you might move money between crypto, a wallet currency and a casino currency, conversion spreads can add up, so compare the total cost before using SticPay as your main route.
Limits depend on your verification level and the casino's cashier rules. Deposits are instant, and payouts to the wallet are usually fast after casino approval. The time to reach your bank or crypto wallet depends on the exit route you choose. If you plan to cash out in crypto, compare the total cost with a direct bank withdrawal, as the combined fees and spread differ by currency and network.
SticPay and casino bonuses
Across the 15 casinos above where we have bonus terms, the average welcome bonus wagering is 39x.
Bonus rules for SticPay vary widely, because it is used mostly at offshore casinos with their own terms. Some include it in welcome offers, others exclude e-wallets in general. Read the payment method section of the bonus terms, and check whether a bonus is available only in certain currencies before you choose which SticPay balance to pay from.
Some offshore casinos credit bonuses only for deposits in specific currencies or exclude deposits that were originally funded from crypto through a wallet. The casino usually cannot see how you funded SticPay, but it may still apply e-wallet rules. Confirm the details with support before depositing if a bonus is important to you.
Is SticPay safe for online gambling?
SticPay applies identity checks and secure logins, and paying through it keeps your bank and card details away from the casino. Its regulation and safeguarding arrangements are less familiar to European players than those of the largest wallets, so review the provider's own regulatory information and terms, and avoid holding large balances for long periods.
SticPay is mostly seen at casinos licensed offshore, where dispute options can be more limited than with a local regulator. Check the casino's licence, keep records of every transaction, and set a deposit limit. Funding gambling from crypto holdings can make losses harder to track, so convert your budget into a fixed amount before you start.
