Sent crypto on the wrong network? What actually happens next
The transfer went through, the explorer confirms it, and the casino balance has not moved. Both things are true at once, and that is the whole problem.

Rails and networks
Crypto mechanics
Wallets, networks, confirmations, gas and what provably fair actually proves.
A crypto deposit either arrives or it does not, and the difference almost never has anything to do with the casino. It has to do with which chain the transfer settled on, whether the asset needed a routing field alongside the address, how many blocks have been built on top of the one holding it, and what the network charged on the way through. The cashier reports the end of that process; this section is about the middle of it.
So the pieces here are organised around the rails rather than around operators. What a confirmation actually counts, why the same address can be valid on several networks while the casino watches one, what a withdrawal whitelist still protects after a password is gone, and what the phrase provably fair does and does not cover. Where a term keeps turning up in support replies, there is a piece on the term.
Crypto Crypto Why the casino waits for confirmations
A confirmation is not progress towards the casino noticing your deposit. It is the casino waiting for the network to stop being able to change its mind.

Crypto Why the deposit arrived smaller than you sent it
Four different things can shave a crypto deposit, and only one of them is the casino. Telling them apart decides who you should be writing to.

Crypto Provably fair: what it proves, and what it does not
It proves the result was not altered after you bet. It says nothing at all about whether the game is generous.
English
Crypto The deposit you sent without a memo
The address was right and the transfer settled. Without the tag, it landed in a shared pot with no note saying which account it belongs to.

Crypto Bankroll in a stablecoin, or in the coin itself?
A balance in a volatile asset gives you a second bet you never placed, running the whole time the first one is open.

Crypto Address whitelists, and the delay they add on purpose
The security feature that annoys people most is the one that works: a cooling-off period is useless unless it is inconvenient.

Crypto mechanics — the words, plainly
- Confirmation
- A block that contains your transfer. Casinos wait for a set number of them before a deposit shows up on the balance.
- Gas
- The fee the network charges for moving a transfer. It is paid to the network, not to the casino, and it is why an amount can arrive smaller than it left.
- Provably fair
- A scheme that lets a player re-check one result after the fact. It proves the draw was not altered; it does not prove the game is generous.
- Smart contract
- Code that settles an outcome without a clerk in the middle. On a crypto casino it is what executes the bet once the result is known.
- Wrong network
- Sending a token over a chain the recipient does not watch. The transfer is recorded and nothing appears on the balance.
