Ripple (XRP) casino notes on tags, settlement and the habits that keep deposits safe
Short notes that each take one narrow question on XRP deposits and answer it with what the operators wrote and what the ledger's own documentation says.
They are written for a reader who has already decided to use XRP and wants to avoid the one mistake that cannot be undone.
How these notes are written
Every claim about an operator comes from a page of its own that we read in full. Where a page was closed to us, we say so and make no claim. Where something is a general fact about the ledger, it is said as a general fact and not attributed to any casino.
Checklist before the first send
Five checks for an XRP casino deposit, in the order that matters: coin, address, tag, a small test, and the balance that should follow.
Fees, reserve and processing
The ledger's own cost of an XRP transfer, the reserve a new wallet needs, and the fee and confirmation statements that Cloudbet, BitStarz, Roobet and Sportsbet.io publish.
Reading a transfer on an explorer
How to read an XRP transaction on a block explorer: destination address, destination tag, result and time, so you can see what your wallet actually sent.
Bonus money and your XRP
How promotional balances commonly sit beside the money you deposited, why an unattributed XRP deposit cannot touch either, and what to read before you accept an offer.
Reading your balance in XRP or dollars
Why an XRP balance at a casino may appear in another unit, how to tell a conversion from a missing deposit, and what to compare before you place a bet.
Wallet apps, QR codes and tag boxes
Why wallet apps label the tag field differently, why a personal wallet usually needs no tag while a casino does, and what a QR code may leave out.
