Short definition
The smallest amount you can deposit at a casino. It also affects qualifying for a bonus.
The minimum deposit is the smallest amount a casino accepts. It depends on the casino and payment method, and in Estonia is often between €10 and €20.
Bonuses often have their own minimum condition — too small a deposit may not activate the offer. So it's worth checking the bonus terms before depositing.
Three different minimums
A casino usually has three separate thresholds: the smallest deposit overall, the smallest deposit that activates a bonus, and the smallest withdrawal. They need not be the same. Example: general minimum €10, bonus minimum €20. If you pay €10, the money reaches the account but no bonus is credited. A €20 deposit with a 100% match gives €20 + €20 = €40 on the balance. At some casinos the withdrawal minimum is higher than the deposit minimum, so a small balance can get stuck on the account; check this before the first deposit.
Small deposits and fees
If a payment method or bank charges a fixed fee, it weighs far more on a small amount. Example: a €1 fee is 10% of a €10 deposit but only 2% of a €50 deposit. Deposits at Estonian casinos are usually free, but with crypto there is a network fee that can eat a large share of a small amount. See low-deposit crypto casinos and the overview of TRC-20 and ERC-20 network fees.
A low minimum does not make playing safe
A low threshold is no reason to play more often. If you make a €10 deposit five times a day, that is €50 a day, or €1,500 over 30 days, and each single deposit still feels small. It is better to decide the budget in advance, set a deposit limit, and play only with an amount you can afford to lose. If it is hard to keep to the limit, you can find support at Peaasi.ee.

Can you get a bonus with the smallest amount?
Not always. A bonus may have a higher requirement than the cashier minimum. Check the offer terms before depositing.
Why does the minimum differ by payment method?
Different payment services have different costs and limits, so a casino may set a different minimum per payment method.
21+ Gambling is intended for players aged 21 and over only. A fast withdrawal does not make gambling a safe source of income. Only play with money you can afford to lose. If needed, set self-limits or seek help:
