Wallet Guide

You need a crypto wallet before you can deposit or withdraw on Spino — we don’t issue you one, you bring your own. This guide covers picking a wallet, setting it up, and using it safely alongside your account.

Exchange Wallet or Self-Custody?

An exchange wallet (Coinbase, Binance, Kraken, and similar) is the simplest starting point: sign up, verify your identity once, and you have a wallet you can buy coins into directly and send from. A self-custody app (MetaMask, Trust Wallet) holds coins you already own without a third party in between, and it’s the wallet of choice if you’d rather not leave funds sitting on an exchange between sessions. Both work fine for depositing to and withdrawing from Spino — the choice comes down to how much you already have set up and how you want to hold coins between deposits.

Setting Up Your First Wallet

If you’re starting from zero, an exchange wallet is usually the faster route: create an account, complete identity verification, and you can buy your first coin with a card or bank transfer inside the same app. A self-custody wallet takes a similar amount of time to install and set up, but you’ll still need to buy your first coin somewhere (often an exchange) before you can send it into the wallet.

Backing Up Your Seed Phrase

A self-custody wallet gives you a seed phrase — usually 12 or 24 words — the moment you create it. That phrase is the only way to recover the wallet if you lose your device, and it’s also the only thing anyone needs to drain it if they get hold of it. Write it down on paper, store it somewhere offline, and never enter it into a website, an email, or a message from anyone claiming to be support. Spino will never ask for your seed phrase — nobody legitimate ever does.

Funding Your Wallet for the First Time

Buy crypto directly through an exchange wallet, or buy it on an exchange and send it to a self-custody wallet’s address. Either way, double-check the network before you send — some coins, like USDT, exist on more than one blockchain, and sending on the wrong one can mean a delayed or lost transfer.

Using Your Wallet With Spino

Once your wallet holds some crypto, depositing is a matter of copying the address our cashier gives you and sending from your wallet — full walkthrough on our crypto deposits page. Withdrawals work the same way in reverse: you give us your wallet address, and the payout lands there once the network confirms it, covered in more detail on our instant payouts page.

Choosing What to Hold

Some players keep their wallet mostly in stablecoins to avoid price swings between a deposit and a withdrawal; others hold Bitcoin because that’s what they already have. Neither is wrong — our bitcoin casino page walks through what that specific choice changes about your balance while you play.

Wallet Security Basics

Use a strong, unique password on any exchange wallet, turn on two-factor authentication wherever it’s offered, and keep your device’s operating system up to date — most wallet compromises trace back to a weak password or a phishing link, not a flaw in the wallet itself. A few minutes spent on security setup is worth far more than the time it saves you skipping it.
