Common Mistakes at a Glance

In this table, you'll find the most common crypto deposit mistakes, what they cause, and how to avoid them:

Mistake

What goes wrong

How to avoid it

Severity

Using the wrong network

The deposit does not arrive. May not be recoverable.

Always match the network shown on your cashier. Check before sending.

⚠️ High

Omitting the XRP Destination Tag

Deposit fails or is permanently lost.

If a tag is shown in your cashier, always include it when sending XRP.

⚠️ High

Sending below the minimum deposit amount

Deposit will not be credited automatically.

Send slightly above the minimum to account for network fees.

? Medium

Reusing an old deposit address

The deposit may not be credited if the address has changed.

Always use the deposit address from the cashier for each deposit.

? Medium

Sending the wrong coin to an address

Funds are lost permanently. For example, sending ETH to a BTC address can’t be reversed.

Confirm the coin and address match before sending. Never guess.

⚠️ High

Ignoring the ‘Completed’ status on your exchange

Exchange shows completed before the transaction is on-chain. Player waits for Metaspins when the issue is with the exchange.

If your deposit isn’t showing, check the TX on a blockchain explorer first. If it’s not there, contact your exchange.

? Medium

Not having the TX hash ready

Support investigations are delayed without the transaction ID.

Save your TX hash as soon as you send. Find it in your wallet, exchange history, or confirmation email.

Pre-Send Checklist

Before carrying out any crypto deposit, do a quick run through these six checks:

  1. I have copied the deposit address directly from my Metaspins cashier.

  2. The network I am sending on matches the network shown in my cashier.

  3. The coin I am sending matches the deposit address (e.g. sending USDT to a USDT address).

  4. The amount I am sending is above the minimum deposit for this coin, plus a little extra to cover network fees.

  5. If sending XRP, I have checked my cashier for a destination tag and included it.

  6. I have noted my TX hash (Transaction ID) so I can track the deposit or share it with support if needed.
