Questions about these guides
Do I need a crypto wallet to bet with crypto?
Not always. You can send from an exchange account straight to the site. A wallet of your own gives you control, but also full responsibility for the keys.
Is crypto betting harder than paying with OPay?
The first time, yes: there are more steps and no way to reverse a mistake. After that it takes a few minutes.
Can these guides help with a stuck payout?
They explain the usual causes. For a licensed site, the regulator is your next step; for an offshore site, the licence body if there is one.
