Methods, floors and speeds
| Method | Min | Speed | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interac | from $1 | Instant | The default choice; also the fastest withdrawal rail later. |
| Visa / Mastercard debit | from $1 | Instant | Use debit; credit products commonly carry bank-side gambling blocks. |
| Direct bank transfer | varies | Minutes to hours | Fine for larger, planned deposits. |
| E-wallets | varies | Instant | Availability shifts; check the cashier list on your account. |
The $1 floor deserves the attention it gets. Most Ontario casinos set $10-$20 minimums; Betty's floor means your first session can cost less than parking. Deposit method choice also matters later: the withdrawal-to-deposit-method matching rule means the rail you pick today is likely the rail your winnings return on. Plan for that with the withdrawal guide.

Open the LobbyDeclined payment fix grid
| Decline scenario | What actually happened | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Credit card refused instantly | Issuer blocks gambling merchant codes on credit | Switch to debit or Interac; calling the bank rarely unblocks credit for casinos. |
| Debit refused with correct details | Daily limit, or bank fraud filter on a first-time merchant | Approve the pending verification in your banking app, retry once. |
| Deposit blocked by the casino itself | You hit the deposit limit you set at onboarding | That is the tool working. Cooling-off applies to raises; do not chase a way around it. |
| Interac transfer hangs | Email-transfer safeguards or bank maintenance window | Give it 30 minutes before retrying to avoid duplicates; contact support with the reference if it exceeds an hour. |
One deliberate omission from this page: bonus-triggered deposit advice. In Ontario there are no public deposit-match offers to trigger (the bonus reality check explains), so deposit exactly what your session plan calls for and not a dollar more for a phantom threshold.
The limit tools that live in the cashier
Ontario requires every regulated casino to ship money controls, and the deposit side is where they bite first. The design has one deliberate asymmetry worth understanding before you need it: restrictions tighten instantly and loosen slowly.
| Control | What it caps | Changing it |
|---|---|---|
| Daily deposit limit | Money in per 24 hours | Decreases apply immediately; increases wait out a cooling-off period. |
| Weekly deposit limit | Money in per 7 days | Same asymmetry. The weekly number is the one that shapes real behaviour; set it first. |
| Monthly deposit limit | Money in per month | Same rules; useful as the backstop behind the weekly figure. |
| Blocked top-up | Any amount past your own cap | Not an error. The decline-fix habit does not apply here; the block is the tool doing its job. |
The cooling-off delay on increases is the entire safety mechanism: it moves the decision to raise your ceiling out of the heat of a losing session and into a calmer day. Which is why the advice in registration step five is to set these numbers at onboarding, when the account is empty and the judgement is clean.
A sane first-deposit plan at the $1 floor
The floor changes the arithmetic of caution. At a $10 or $20 minimum, testing a casino costs real money; at $1, the sensible plan is almost free. Put in the smallest amount the cashier and your chosen rail allow, confirm the balance appears instantly, play a few low-stake spins from the low-volatility end of the lobby, and send a small amount back out the same rail. The full loop typically resolves inside a day and answers, with your own bank statement as the source, every question this site can only research: the rails work, the times hold, the account is clean. Scale up only after the loop closes, and only within the weekly number you set on day one.
Everything above can change with one operator update. Verify the current state before you deposit.

What is the minimum deposit at Betty?
From $1 CAD, one of the lowest floors in the Ontario market. It makes testing the casino nearly free, and it is the reason bonus-free onboarding here is less of a problem than it sounds.
Does Betty accept Interac?
Yes, Interac is the workhorse method for both directions, and the fastest common route back out at withdrawal time.
Why was my card declined?
Most declines are bank-side gambling blocks on credit products, mistyped details, or exceeding your own deposit limit. The fix grid above covers each.
Can I deposit with crypto?
Ontario's regulated market runs on CAD banking rails; crypto is not part of Betty's cashier. Sites promising Betty crypto deposits are describing a different casino.
