Wallet types
| Wallet | Type | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| MetaMask | Browser and mobile | Most crypto sites recognise it; easy to switch networks |
| Trust Wallet | Mobile | Many coins in one app, built-in swaps |
| Ledger, Trezor and similar | Hardware | Larger amounts kept offline |
| An exchange account | Custodial | Convenient, but the exchange holds the keys |
Protect the recovery phrase
- Write the 12 or 24 words on paper and keep them offline.
- Nobody genuine ever asks for them: not a casino, not support, not an exchange.
- Anyone with the phrase can empty the wallet.
Addresses and networks
An Ethereum address starts with 0x and has 42 characters. The same address format is used on BNB Smart Chain and on layer-2 networks, which is why sending on the wrong network is such a common mistake. Always pick the network the casino's deposit page names.
Questions
Can I deposit to a casino straight from an exchange?
Some exchanges allow it, others block gambling transfers. Using your own wallet avoids surprises.
What happens if I lose my phone?
Restore the wallet on a new device with the recovery phrase. Without it, the funds are gone.
