Crypto Deposit Cost Calculator: What Reaches the Cashier
Most of what a crypto deposit costs is paid before the coin reaches the sportsbook: the spread when you buy the coin, the exchange's withdrawal fee and the network fee. This calculator adds them up for your route, and shows how the deposit size changes the share you lose.

A crypto deposit has three costs and only one of them is visible at the sportsbook. Buying the coin costs a spread or a fee. Moving it off the exchange costs a withdrawal fee. Sending it from your own wallet costs a network fee. This calculator takes the figures your exchange shows and tells you what arrives at the cashier.

ShuffleHow to use the deposit cost calculator
- Enter the money you start with in the currency you buy with: dollars, euros, or anything else.
- Enter the purchase cost as a percentage. Some exchanges show a fee; others build the cost into the price as a spread. Either way, compare the price you pay with the market price and enter the difference.
- Enter the exchange's withdrawal fee in the same currency. Exchanges show it on the withdrawal screen, per network.
- Enter a network fee only if you send from your own wallet; when you withdraw from an exchange, its fee usually covers the network.
- Tick the way back to see what a round trip costs.
The figures that open in the calculator are an example, not any exchange's or network's actual price. Replace them with yours.
Why the deposit size matters most
The percentage part of the cost is the same on any amount. The fixed part is not, and it is what makes small deposits expensive.
| Deposit | Spread at 1 % | Fixed fees of 1 | Arrives | Cost as a share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | 0.20 | 1.00 | 18.80 | 6.0 % |
| 50 | 0.50 | 1.00 | 48.50 | 3.0 % |
| 100 | 1.00 | 1.00 | 98.00 | 2.0 % |
| 500 | 5.00 | 1.00 | 494.00 | 1.2 % |
Five deposits of 20 cost three times as much as one of 100 on the same route. If you know you will move 100 over a month, moving it once is the cheaper choice, as long as you would not bet more simply because the balance is there.
The network is the choice that matters
USDT exists on several networks, and the fee to move it depends on which one you pick, not on the coin. The same is true of other stablecoins. Before you withdraw from an exchange, look at the fee shown for each network the sportsbook's cashier accepts, and pick the cheapest one that both sides list. Sending on a network the cashier does not list is the costliest mistake of all, because the coins may not arrive. Our blockchain betting guide explains how to match the network on both screens.
The way back
Winnings come back in the coin. To turn them into local money you sell on an exchange, which costs a spread, and withdraw to a bank, which may cost a fee. The round-trip option in the calculator applies the same spread and fixed fees to the return leg. On a 100 deposit with the example figures, the way in costs 2.00 and the way back about 1.98: almost 4 % for the round trip before a single bet is placed.
A bettor who keeps the balance in a stablecoin between bets, rather than selling after every win, pays that round trip once instead of every time.
What this calculator does not include
- Price movement. If you deposit in bitcoin, the coin's price can move while the balance waits. That is not a fee, but it can cost more than all of them.
- Sportsbook fees. If a cashier charges its own deposit or withdrawal fee, it shows on the cashier screen; add it to the fixed fees.
- Minimums. Some cashiers set a minimum deposit per coin. A deposit below it may not be credited.
