Need a quick coinbase/coinbase pro refresher

[Savatage79]

So first question .. If I buy from coinbase some btc ,can I send that directly to a casino for btc deposits?

Or must I send to my coinbase pro account and then from there use as a casino deposit?

 

[Mathias2k5]

From what I understand, you never want to send Bitcoin to a casino from your coinbase account. Instead go coinbase --> wallet ---> casino.

 

[Savatage79]

But isn't the wallet just in coinbase?

Can I buy btc on coinbase pro and then just send it from there?

I was always under the impression that when it was gdax you could send it from there but it's CB pro now, is it still the same??

 

[Mathias2k5]

Not sure if this is still the case, but i know coinbase banned some accounts for sending bitcoin to casinos. Which is why i recommend getting a 3rd party wallet to keep your bitcoin in to send to casinos. I use blockchain.org.

 

[Savatage79]

But gdax was a 3rd party right ? It's called coinbase pro but it's still 3rd party right ?

 

[Mathias2k5]

not sure about that...although ive sent through gdax before when the transaction fee's were really really expensive like a year ago and never had any issues

 

[Savatage79]

Can I buy with gdax? Like just grab 50 bucks worth and send it to a casino?

 

[Savatage79]

Can you do everything thru blockchain easily? Buy your btc and then send it straight to casino?

 

[Mathias2k5]

Ive never bought Bitcoin on block chain.org... I've always used coinbase or gemini to buy Bitcoin and use blockchain as a wallet. I use it to store my btc and send it out/receive it if I win.

 

[Savatage79]

I guess for me I feel it's just inconvenience to buy on one app, send to another, then send to casino.

I'm not a btc guy so I'm guessing it's just how it's done but I don't understand why there's not a more convenient way to do it all especially if someone deposits 2 3 4 times in a session

 

[nelsnik]

I always used coinbase and send direct too casino’s more then 300 times still no issues occured its safe to do, they cant block you for that, i use coinbase and Bitpay bitpay is easy;-) Goodluck!

 

[Savatage79]

So I sent the money via coinbase to brango .. And I'm just sittin here with the funds not yet showing up.. What gives, I thought btc was all fairly instant? I mean my CC deposits are instantly there, why are btc deposits so slow?

Is there a way to speed up this process?

 

[nisosbar]

I believe that Brango's method is a manual one, meaning someone needs to credit a customer's account, either upon notification from coinbase that a bit deposit has been made, or else upon being prompted by a depositor. I simply contact chat and ask them to check for it, and they either find it and credit me, or else it hasn't been confirmed.

 

[Savatage79]

Well both extreme and brango had to do the same.

I just find it a bit of an inconvenience,, I'll fire out a handful of deposits with my visa debit.. And with btc I buy, send, wait 10 to 15 mins then get chat, then can spin... And I like to keep firing away without any hold ups
