Payments
Crypto deposit
A player funding an account with cryptocurrency. The payment is converted at a quoted rate and credited when the network confirms it, not when it is broadcast. The operational questions are which assets are accepted, who carries price movement, and what the licence permits.

What it means for an operator
Crypto is usually bolted on as a side channel with its own totals and its own reconciliation, which is how operators end up with two books and a monthly argument.
Scalara runs crypto through NOWPayments into the same ledger as fiat, under the same compliance gate, settling into one currency per brand. The deposits screen states how price movement between payment and confirmation is handled rather than leaving it to be discovered.
