Bybit itself doesn't charge a deposit fee — costs appear when you send crypto out of Bybit to a casino. Picking the right network is what matters: USDT on TRC-20 typically costs 1 USDT, LTC 0.001 LTC, BTC Lightning fractions of a cent. Picking the wrong network → funds are permanently lost. This guide walks Bybit's outbound fees by coin, a €100 transfer comparison, and why small deposits should avoid expensive networks.
Bybit doesn't charge a deposit fee
When you move crypto out of Bybit (to a casino, to another exchange, to a wallet), the fee breaks into:
- Bybit's handling fee (small or zero, varies by coin)
- Network gas/transfer fee (the bigger chunk; depends on the chain you use)
On the casino side there's usually no charge for a crypto deposit, but mind the minimum deposit (often €20–50).
Coins and networks — Bybit outbound fees 2026
| Coin | Network | Bybit fee | Confirm time | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BTC | Bitcoin | 0.0002 BTC (~$14) | 10–60 min | Most expensive rail |
| BTC | Lightning | 0.00001 BTC (~$0.7) | Seconds | Rare at casinos |
| ETH | ERC-20 | 0.0015 ETH (~$4) | 2–15 min | Costly gas |
| ETH | Arbitrum | 0.0003 ETH (~$0.8) | 1–5 min | Rare at casinos |
| USDT | TRC-20 | 1 USDT | Under 1 min | Best pick for most transfers |
| USDT | ERC-20 | 2.5 USDT | 2–15 min | Avoid when TRC-20 is available |
| USDT | BSC | 0.8 USDT | 3–10 seconds | Extremely cheap |
| LTC | Litecoin | 0.001 LTC (~$0.07) | 2.5 min | Excellent pick |

Figures are indicative; Bybit updates the live numbers on its site. Check the coin's "Withdraw" page before you send.
Cheapest network per transfer size
- Small transfer (under €100): USDT BSC or USDT TRC-20 — fee under €1 absolute
- Medium (€100–1,000): USDT TRC-20 or LTC — fee effectively negligible in %
- Large (over €1,000): LTC or USDT TRC-20 — fee stays cheap; BTC Lightning if the casino supports it
- Very large (over €10,000): BTC native becomes acceptable because $14 is small in %

The network-selection trap — you can lose the funds
Crypto has one non-negotiable rule: send and receive on the same network. Send USDT on ERC-20 when the casino expects TRC-20 → the funds go to an address the casino can't see, and they're usually unrecoverable.
- Check the casino's deposit page for the exact network (e.g. "USDT TRC-20")
- Pick the same network in Bybit's send menu
- Test with a small amount (€10) on your first transfer
If in doubt, ping casino support before sending.
€100 transfer — comparison in practice
Assume you want to send €100 worth of crypto from Bybit to a casino.
| Route | Bybit fee | Effective cost | Confirm time |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTC native | ~$14 | 14 % | 10–60 min |
| USDT ERC-20 | $2.5 | 2.5 % | 2–15 min |
| USDT TRC-20 | $1 | 1 % | Under 1 min |
| USDT BSC | $0.8 | 0.8 % | 3–10 s |
| LTC native | ~$0.07 | ~0.1 % | 2.5 min |
A 14 % effective fee on a small BTC transfer is absurd. The casino doesn't display it as a "fee", but your balance shows €86 instead of €100. Use LTC or USDT TRC-20.
Bybit Card / fiat gateway — why it doesn't fit casinos
Bybit offers a card you can spend in euros. Convenient, but:
- The casino sees a card payment, not a crypto deposit — you lose any crypto-specific bonus
- Conversion fees are 1.9–3 %
- The casino can block the card under the "gambling MCC" category
Keep the card for shopping, not casino deposits.
Binance and Kraken in brief
- Binance: similar fee structure; BSC network even cheaper than Bybit's. Fine for casino transfers.
- Kraken: reliable but slightly more expensive; LTC still competitive.
- Coinmotion / Northcrypto (FI): good for buying, mid-tier outbound fees (~€5 per transfer).
