Funding your balance at 1st.game
Whether the plan is an evening at a live table or ten minutes on a slot, it starts at the same screen: Finance, first tab. What sits behind that tab is broader than most platforms bother with — two genuinely different rails rather than one rail with a currency menu. The crypto rail listed nine coins on 2026-08-03, with USDT alone spread across five networks, each combination generating its own deposit address and QR code. The local-money rail listed twenty-seven currencies, and under the Philippine peso alone sat familiar wallet names — GCash, Maya, GoTyme, GrabPay — each fronting a list of numbered provider channels you pick from yourself. Two facts shape everything on this screen. Deposited crypto stays as crypto: the balance figure you see is a real-time exchange-rate translation, not a conversion that happened at deposit. And the address shown is specific to the coin-and-network pair selected at that moment, which is why the transfer-side network choice has to match — a mismatch does not bounce, it disappears. We read these screens without sending money, so this guide describes what they ask, not how fast a given channel settles.
Choosing a rail before choosing an amount
The right rail depends on what you already hold and what your region makes easy. The screen does not advise; it just lists. These are the distinctions that actually matter when picking, based on what the interface showed on the day.
Crypto: address per coin, per network
Nine coins were listed — USDT, USDC, BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, TRX, GRAM, NOT — and choosing one opens a network selector: USDT alone offered TRON, BSC, TON, ETH and SOL. Every pairing has its own address and QR. The USDT screen carried a Min: 10 USDT line on the day; treat figures like that as per-coin, per-day readings rather than constants.
Local money: wallets behind a currency picker
The fiat tab listed twenty-seven currencies on the day. Picking one reveals its local methods — for PHP that meant GCash, Maya, GoTyme and GrabPay — and each method fronts several numbered provider channels. The PHP range shown was 100 to 50,000 per transaction; other currencies carry their own ranges, readable on the same screen once selected.
Your balance is a translation, not a conversion
The platform states that deposits stay in crypto and balances are displayed via real-time exchange rates. Practical consequence: the number on your balance chip drifts with the market even while you are not playing. That is the design working, not an error in your arithmetic.
A standing first-deposit-of-the-day offer
A banner on the deposit screen advertised a daily bonus on the first deposit — 3% on fiat channels, 5% up to 10 USDT on crypto — carrying a 1x wagering requirement on the day we read it. Terms live on the banner itself; read them on the day you deposit, not from this page.
1. Open Finance and stay on the Deposit tab
The Finance screen carries three tabs — Deposit, Swap, Withdraw — and opens on the first. Swap is the internal exchange between coins you already hold on the platform; it has nothing to do with getting money in, so ignore it for now. Everything below the tab row changes depending on whether Crypto or the local-currency option is selected, which is the real first decision.
2. Crypto path: match the network before copying anything
Select a coin and the network row appears beneath it. This row is the entire game: the address generated below is valid only for that coin on that network. Before copying, check which network your sending wallet or exchange uses for withdrawals of that coin, and make the two agree. Sending USDT over a network the address was not generated for does not produce an error message anywhere — the funds simply never arrive.
3. Local-money path: currency, then wallet, then channel
Switch to the fiat option and pick your currency from the list — PHP, VND, THB, INR, BRL and twenty-two others were present on the day. The currency choice reveals its wallet methods, and the wallet choice reveals numbered provider channels (the PHP screen showed entries like "20.GCash" and "5.GCash"). If one channel stalls or rejects, a different number under the same wallet is the first thing to try before assuming the method is down.
4. Send, then let the network do its part
Crypto deposits credit after network confirmation, which is a property of the blockchain in question rather than the platform — a busy network takes longer, and no support agent can hurry it. We did not send funds on this run, so we make no claim about how long any specific channel takes in practice. What we can say from the screens: the balance chip and the transaction history both live one tap from the lobby, so confirming an arrival does not require leaving whatever table you have open.
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum deposit?
It depends on the coin, network and currency, and the interface prints it per selection — the USDT screen read Min: 10 USDT and the PHP screen read a 100–50,000 range on 2026-08-03. Those are dated readings, not promises. Check the line on the screen for your own selection on the day you deposit.
Does my deposit get converted to dollars?
No — the platform states deposits stay in the crypto you sent, and the balance display is a real-time exchange-rate translation. The Swap tab exists for deliberate conversions between coins, and it warns that all swaps are final, so nothing converts unless you choose it.
I sent coins and the balance has not moved — is it lost?
First check elapsed time against the sending network's usual confirmation pace; congestion is the boring, common answer. Second, verify the network you sent over matches the one the address was generated for — that mismatch is the one that genuinely loses funds. The transaction history screen shows arrivals as they credit.
Which rail is better, crypto or local money?
Whichever you can fund without an extra conversion step. If you already hold USDT, the crypto rail avoids touching your bank. If you use GCash or a similar wallet daily, the local rail avoids acquiring crypto first. The platform prices neither rail as the favourite; the deposit bonus differed only slightly between them on the day.
