I use USDT. But depending on the network and your wallet, you may also need to have another currency to pay the transfer fee and make a withdrawal. In general, I recommend using one of the most popular exchanges to receive funds. For Ukraine, Binance seems to be the best option.

I haven't verified my crypto wallet yet, but I think I'll use TRC-20. It seems we won't have any other choice but to withdraw cryptocurrency from Americas Cardroom. But I don't think that's so bad. After all, having an alternative is always good.

I only used crypto once.
I deposited some BTC into a poker/casino site but soon realized that approximately 25% of the amount was gone.
I'm not even sure who charged me that huge fee, the site, my wallet or both.
Did not bother verifying, just let everything go. So, as far as I'm concerned, no recommendation here

Yeah, apparently, Binance is the best right now, especially that they're operating all over the world.

I always withdrew to BTC. Since I considered BTC to be the most reliable cryptocurrency, I used it. As for commissions, there are different times and different periods, so commissions can vary. For example, when withdrawing $100, the commission sometimes did not exceed 50-70 cents, but there were periods when the commission for withdrawing $100 could be $50 or even $80.

I have been using my Binance account for several years now, easily depositing and withdrawing money. I even have small investments in cryptocurrency, which have already given me quite good results. I usually deposit and withdraw money in USDT, but I also withdraw money in BTC or ETH.

The question should be Why would one use crypto for these use cases?
If it is the only option, then yes, that makes sense.
But as EU citizen that would probably make it more difficult for me. I've bought and sold crypto at Binance and made meticulous reports about it to tax officials when the time arrived to report my earnings. And as I understand it exchanges operating inside EU probably have to report some tax related info about their customers as well so customers can't really hide their possible earnings.
So here's the issue:
For most EU citizens who win at sites that have EU gambling license the winnings are tax free.
If I would win on site A, then withdrew it as crypto, and then sell it in a crypto exchange for actual money, I would still have to report it in my taxes to make it clear where I got it from. Selling crypto and not saying anything about it when doing taxes is a big no no. And if the value of the crypto would increase before I had time to exchange it I would have to report this "profit" as well.
So crypto and gambling would mean a heck of a hassle.

This can certainly be an additional hassle. But if there are no other withdrawal options, then what?
Not withdraw the money?
Or withdraw it anyway and be prepared for the extra hassle. Of course, if we're talking about $100, it's not a lot of money, but if we're talking about $1,000 or more, then you need to understand which cryptocurrency is best to use. I've only used ETH this year. The commission is acceptable to me.

I'm afraid so, very disturbing. How do we convert that crypto into a real money? Do you have a plan?I haven't verified my crypto wallet yet, but I think I'll use TRC-20.

Not yet. I need to see if Americas Cardroom works without verification. I'll try it next week. Then I'll write about my experience in the thread.

I tried to verify my acc, they accepted my bank statement of an account and selfie, they rejected my passport photos twice, I wrote them that every other poker room accepted it so they should do it too. No response from them so far. It's funny we can use visa, master card to deposit but only damn crypto to withdraw.
By the way, today is the dark day for crypto, after Trump announced new "tariffs" against China, stock market and crypto currencies fell down.

My passport was rejected about seven times this week. I submitted my foreign passport. But I provided screenshots of photos that were about 500-700 kb, because the original is about 5.4 MB, and they only allow files up to 4 MB. So, when I took the photo and simply reduced its size to 3.8 MB and sent it to them, my account was verified within 3-5 minutes. Try it yourself.
I use ETH for withdrawals.

Did you decide to verify yourself, or did ACR require you to do so?

It was my initiative. Just in case.
So I got a promo code via e-mail and tried to deposit with my USD VISA bank card. Got rejected 3 times. Double checked that I input only correct data and digits. My bank support said that they didn't even receive any request for transactions. Their software is a meh. Negative experience at ACR so far.

I always requested withdrawals in bitcoins. In general, there were no problems. The sender paid the commission, so I didn't delve into the details. Several times I even managed to get a nice additional profit when bitcoin unexpectedly rose.

I haven't used cryptocurrency yet to deposit at a poker room or at a casino online . But I would like to do that one day . I hear that the transactions are faster , you get instant withdrawals , that's very good if it is true . I think most people use Bitcoin as their main or only crypto currency. I would also use this .

Why is it so important to you that they accept you to play without verification? Why not just verify and get that done? Would be more easy in my opinion.

There are different periods of activity on the market, and depending on these periods, different commissions on certain cryptocurrencies. Depending on the situation, I choose which cryptocurrency is most profitable for me at the moment. Most often, I withdrew in BTC, ETH, and USDT.

That's crazy! From what I can tell, there are two ways to (legally) make money (not lose too much money) with crypto - buying on the upswing and charging fees. I don't live in a part of the world where crypto makes sense for the average person, so I don't use it at all.
