Solana SOL deposits live at BetWhale and Lucky Tiger but no withdrawal option yet

Same thing happened with MATIC deposits at Cafe Casino last year. They had deposits for like 6 months before adding withdrawals. I think they use it as a way to get people to deposit but then force conversions on the way out.

Sticking with BTC-only until these newer coins get full deposit/withdrawal parity. Too risky otherwise.

I actually deposited 3 SOL at Lucky Tiger last week to test it. Deposit went through in under 30 seconds which was impressive. Won about 4.2 SOL equivalent playing slots.

When I tried to withdraw, only options were BTC, ETH, and LTC. Had to convert to BTC and pay their 0.0005 BTC withdrawal fee instead of what would've been a 0.00025 SOL fee. Pretty annoying.

This is why I always check withdrawal options before depositing with any new crypto. Learned this lesson the hard way with USDC at Ignition - they had deposits but forced BTC conversions on withdrawals for months.

BetWhale support told me SOL withdrawals should be live "within 4-6 weeks" when I asked yesterday. We'll see if that actually happens.

The conversion rates they use are usually terrible too. I've seen 2-3% spreads on crypto conversions at some sites.

Might be worth waiting until both brands add proper SOL withdrawal support. The low network fees would make it perfect for smaller cashouts under $100 where BTC fees eat into your winnings.

Update: Just got word from BetWhale that SOL withdrawals are scheduled for their next platform update in early February. Lucky Tiger hasn't given me a timeline yet.

Definitely waiting until withdrawal support is confirmed before depositing SOL anywhere else. The fast confirmation times are nice but not worth getting stuck in conversion fees.
