You just finished a big session. Your bankroll is ready. The last thing you want is to wait days for payment processing before you can access your funds.
That is why more Natural8 players worldwide are choosing cryptocurrency as a payment option. Crypto deposits and withdrawals give players another way to move funds—one designed for the speed, flexibility, and global nature of online poker.
The Problem with Traditional Banking for Poker Platforms
Traditional payment methods are familiar, but they can sometimes create friction for online poker players. If you have used standard credit cards or local bank transfers, you have likely experienced:
Bank maintenance downtime during prime playing hours
Unexpected deposit rejections or security blocks from traditional card issuers
Account name mismatch refunds or rigid local banking restrictions
Slow international wire processing that takes days to clear
With crypto payments, these issues are largely avoided by routing transfers through direct blockchain networks instead of traditional banking rails.

How to Set Up a Crypto Wallet
Getting started with crypto is straightforward. The initial setup takes just a few minutes, and every transaction after that is fast and seamless.
Step 1: Choose a Trusted Crypto Wallet
To convert your local fiat currency (USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, etc.) into crypto, open an account with a reputable, licensed exchange in your region (such as Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, or Bitget) or set up a secure self-custody wallet such as Trust Wallet.
Complete the quick Identity Verification (KYC) process on your chosen platform to enable instant fiat deposits. Your wallet will usually provide a recovery phrase, usually consisting of multiple words. This phrase is extremely important.
Keep it offline and private, and do not share it with anyone, including people claiming to provide wallet support. Natural8 will never ask for your recovery phrase.
PS: The exchanges listed above are just suggestions. Cryptocurrency investments carry high risk; always conduct your own research (DYOR) and ensure compliance with local regulations before opening an account or trading.
Step 2: Acquire Cryptocurrency
Deposit funds into your exchange via card, bank transfer, or instant payment method, then purchase your preferred cryptocurrency.
Pro Tip: Many players prefer to use USDT (Tether). As a stablecoin pegged to the US Dollar, it protects your bankroll from market volatility while in transit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Can Natural8 access or control my personal crypto wallet?
No. Natural8 does not have access to your personal self-custody crypto wallet or private keys. You remain responsible for managing and securing your wallet credentials.
Will I have to pay high transaction fees when moving my poker bankroll?
Blockchain transaction fees may be lower than legacy bank wires or e-wallet processing fees, depending on network conditions and transfer size. Instead of paying a flat percentage of your total transfer, you pay a small fee based on network congestion at that moment, saving you massive amounts of money over time.
What happens if I paste the wrong deposit address in the cashier?
Because blockchain transactions are permanent and entirely irreversible, sending your funds to an incorrect wallet address means those tokens are gone forever. There is no central bank manager who can undo the transfer. Always use the built-in copy-paste button or scan the provided QR code to eliminate mistakes.
What to do if a deposit or withdrawal remains pending?
Please allow up to 1 hour for deposit to be processed and up to 48 hours for withdrawal to be processed. If your deposit/withdrawal hasn’t been completed within the stated time here, please contact Natural8’s live support.
