Your First Deposit, Step By Step
How money goes from an exchange into WePlay and into Basepoker, screen by screen, and the one choice that decides whether it arrives: the network. Ten dollars is enough for the first run.
At a glance
- WePlay
- Crypto only. USDT on Ethereum (ERC20), Binance Smart Chain (BEP20) or Tron (TRC20). From $10, up to $10,000 a day. Exchanged into dollars on arrival.
- Basepoker
- USDT, USDC, SOL, BTC, ETH, BCH, BNB, TON or LTC. USDT on Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Binance Smart Chain or TON. From $1. Every deposit is swapped into USDT from 4 November 2026.
- What you need
- An exchange account or a wallet that holds a little USDT, the room's account, and five minutes. Nothing else.
- The rule that matters
- The network you pick in the room's cashier and the network you pick in your exchange must be the same one. USDT sent on the wrong network does not arrive.
Before you start
- Buy a little USDT on an exchange, or use what you hold. Poker with USDT covers buying it and the networks it lives on.
- Decide the amount before you open the cashier. The first deposit is a test of the route, not a bankroll: $10 at WePlay, $1 to $10 at Basepoker.
- Leave the welcome bonus off on the first deposit if you want to withdraw freely afterwards. Both rooms release a bonus as you play, and Basepoker locks withdrawals while any of it is locked. How each bonus is released.
- Have the exchange's withdrawal page open in another tab. You will copy an address from the room into it.
WePlay, in the app or the browser
The cashier is under Cashier in the bottom bar of the app and under the balance in the browser lobby.
Step 1: Cashier, then Deposit
Open the cashier and stay on the Deposit tab. The first choice is the payment method, and there is one: Crypto. Then comes the amount in dollars, then the token and the network.
Step 2: USDT, then the network
The token is USDT. The network list has three entries: ERC20, which is Ethereum; BNB (BEP20), which is Binance Smart Chain; and TRON (TRC20). Pick the one your exchange can send on cheaply, which for most people is Tron or Binance Smart Chain, and remember which one you picked.
Step 3: The address, and the same network in your exchange
Press Deposit and the app shows the address for that network. Copy it. In your exchange, open Withdraw, choose USDT, choose the same network by name, paste the address, and send the amount. The exchange shows its fee before you confirm: cents on Binance Smart Chain and Tron, a few dollars on Ethereum.
The deposit lands as dollars in your WePlay balance once the network has confirmed it, which is minutes on Tron and Binance Smart Chain and can be longer on Ethereum when the network is busy. The balance pays for the poker, the casino and the sportsbook alike.
Basepoker, in the browser
Basepoker runs in the browser on a computer or a phone, and the deposit window opens from the balance at the top. These steps are from Basepoker's own pages; the cashier changes on 4 November 2026, when every deposit starts being swapped into USDT, so read the window itself if it looks different.
Step 1: Choose the coin
Nine coins are offered: USDT, USDC, SOL, BTC, ETH, BCH, BNB, TON and LTC. USDT is the simple choice, because it is the coin you play in. For USDT the network list is Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, Binance Smart Chain and TON; Binance Smart Chain is the one both rooms share, so a player who uses both needs only one route from the exchange.
Step 2: The bonus switch
The deposit window is where the welcome bonus is switched on, and it can be switched on only within 30 days of signing up. Once it is on it cannot be turned off, and while any of it is still locked you cannot withdraw. Leave it off for the test deposit; decide about it when you are sure you will play the sixty days it takes to unlock.
Step 3: The address, and the same network in your exchange
Copy the address Basepoker shows for the network you picked, open Withdraw in your exchange, choose USDT and the same network, paste, and send. The minimum deposit is $1, which makes Basepoker the cheapest place to test a route you have never used. Withdrawals go out from $10 with no fee beyond the network's own.
The network choice, in one table
USDT exists on several blockchains, and each one is a separate road. The coins only arrive if the exchange sends them down the road the room is watching.
| Network | Name in the cashiers | WePlay | Basepoker | Typical exchange fee |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tron | TRC20 | Yes | No | Around a dollar or less |
| Binance Smart Chain | BEP20, BNB Smart Chain | Yes | Yes | Cents |
| Ethereum | ERC20 | Yes | Yes | A few dollars, more when busy |
| Polygon | Polygon, MATIC | No | Yes | Cents |
| Solana | SOL | No | Yes | Cents |
| TON | TON | No | Yes | Cents |
If it does not arrive
- Wait for the confirmations first. Ethereum can take a while when the network is busy; the exchange shows the transaction as complete only when it is.
- Check the transaction on a block explorer with the hash your exchange gives you. If it shows as delivered to the address you pasted, the room has it and its support can match it to your account.
- If you chose different networks in the two places, write to the room's support with the hash straight away. Some rooms can recover a deposit sent on a network they support but you did not select; a deposit sent on a network the room does not support at all is usually lost, which is why the first deposit is small.
- WePlay's support is in the app; Basepoker's is the live chat on the site.

Questions
What is the minimum deposit at WePlay and Basepoker?
$10 at WePlay, in USDT on Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain or Tron, with a maximum of $10,000 a day. $1 at Basepoker, in USDT, USDC, SOL, BTC, ETH, BCH, BNB, TON or LTC, all swapped into USDT from 4 November 2026.
Which network should I send USDT on?
The one you selected in the room's cashier, and the same one by name in your exchange. Tron and Binance Smart Chain cost cents; Ethereum costs a few dollars. Binance Smart Chain is the one both rooms share. USDT sent on a network the room did not list does not arrive.
How long does a deposit take?
Minutes on Tron and Binance Smart Chain once the network has confirmed it; longer on Ethereum when the network is busy. The room credits the balance when the confirmations are in; WePlay credits it in dollars.
Should I switch the welcome bonus on with the first deposit?
Not on a test deposit. Both bonuses are released as you play over sixty days, and Basepoker locks withdrawals while any of its bonus is still locked. Decide about the bonus when you know you will play the sixty days.
What if the deposit does not arrive?
Wait for the confirmations, check the transaction on a block explorer with the hash from your exchange, and if it shows as delivered write to the room's support with the hash. A deposit sent on a network the room does not support at all is usually lost, which is why the first one is small.
