Bitcoin at Monro
Bitcoin is the oldest and the slowest of the three coins in the Monro cashier, and it is still the one most players reach for first. A deposit starts at roughly EUR 50 equivalent and lands within 10 to 60 minutes; a payout leaves the same address type and completes inside 24 hours, weekends included. The full crypto picture, including USDT and litecoin, is on the crypto page.

Block time and confirmations decide the wait
The Bitcoin network closes a block roughly every ten minutes, and the cashier waits for a small number of those blocks before the balance updates. That is the whole explanation for the 10 to 60 minute range: one confirmation at a quiet hour, several during congestion. Nothing on the operator side accelerates it, and nothing on your side does either apart from attaching a higher fee to the transaction so miners pick it up sooner.
Once the required confirmations exist, the deposit is irreversible in both directions. That property is why crypto rails skip the chargeback machinery entirely, and it is also why an address typed by hand is such an expensive mistake.
Making a deposit
- Open the cashier, choose Bitcoin, and let the system generate an address and QR code bound to your account.
- Copy the address with the copy button; compare the opening and closing characters after pasting.
- Send at least the equivalent of EUR 50 from your wallet or exchange account.
- Wait for confirmations. The balance appears already converted into euro.
The address is regenerated per deposit at many operators, so an old address saved in your wallet address book is a trap worth avoiding. Take the current one from the cashier every time.
Withdrawing to a Bitcoin wallet
The minimum payout is EUR 20 equivalent, the same as on the fiat rails. Every request first passes the internal cashier review of up to 12 hours, after which the transaction is broadcast and the total stays inside 24 hours. The destination wallet must be yours: the same-method rule applies here exactly as it does to a card or a bank account, and the account is verified once before the first release with an eID card or passport, a proof of address no older than three months and a proof of the payment method.
Network fee, and who receives it
Monro adds nothing on either leg. The Bitcoin network does, and that fee goes to miners rather than to the casino. It is a market price for block space: negligible on a quiet Sunday, noticeably higher when the mempool is full. Your wallet estimates it before you sign, so the number is always visible in advance. This is also the arithmetic behind the EUR 50 deposit floor — a small transfer can lose an unpleasant share of itself to the fee alone.
| Operation | Minimum | Timing | Operator fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deposit | about EUR 50 | 10–60 minutes | None |
| Withdrawal | EUR 20 equivalent | Up to 24 hours | None |
Rate exposure is the real cost
The balance is denominated in euro, and the coin is converted at the rate captured when the network confirms. Bitcoin is not a stablecoin, so during the wait the price can move in either direction and that movement lands on you, not on the operator. Over an hour it is usually noise; on a volatile day it is not. Anyone who wants the speed of crypto without the price swing should be looking at USDT on TRC-20 instead — the comparison is laid out on the crypto page. The rate that was actually applied is recorded in the cashier history next to the coin amount and the euro amount.
Wallets, the seed phrase and a test transfer
A wallet you control is the right starting point: a reputable mobile or desktop wallet for ordinary amounts, a hardware device for anything substantial. The seed phrase is the account — anyone holding it holds the coins — so it belongs offline, on paper or metal, never in the phone gallery, notes app or cloud drive. No support desk, including this operator, will ever ask for it, and any request that does is a scam by definition.
The single habit that prevents the largest category of loss is a test transfer. Send a small amount to a new address, confirm it arrived, then send the rest. Ten minutes of patience is cheaper than a mistyped address or clipboard-swapping malware. Keep the transaction hash until the balance updates: support traces a payment by that string within minutes.
Bitcoin against the alternatives
Against Trustly: Bitcoin is slower to credit but works at weekends and needs no bank at all. Against a SEPA transfer: the payout arrives in a day rather than in 1-3 business days, though the SEPA minimum of EUR 25 is far lower than the crypto floor. Against Visa: no 3-D Secure, no merchant category blocks, no issuing bank deciding whether a gambling payment is acceptable — but also no card-scheme protection if you make a mistake.
