Crypto deposits at Thunderbolt follow a straightforward process. If you’re ready to load your account, this guide will take you from wallet setup through to your confirmed deposit.

Step 1: Set Up Your Wallet

Before you can deposit, you’ll need a crypto wallet to store and send your funds. Choose one that matches your comfort level—some are better for first-timers, others for those who want more control.

Popular options include:

• Crypto.com DeFi Wallet – great for flexibility and decentralisation
• Coinbase Wallet – easy to use, especially if you’re new
• Exodus Wallet – smooth interface, no account signup required

Set up your wallet, store your recovery phrase somewhere safe, and you’re ready for step two.

Step 2: Buy and Load Your Crypto

Once your wallet is ready, you’ll need to buy some cryptocurrency. You can do this through a reputable exchange.

Recommended platforms:

• Crypto.com
• Coinbase
• Kraken

Choose the coin you’d like to use—Thunderbolt currently supports Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, and Lightning Bitcoin—then transfer it to your wallet. You’re now ready to deposit.

Step 3: Make Your Deposit

Now that your wallet is loaded, head over to your Thunderbolt account.

Here’s how to complete the deposit:

1. Open the Cashier
2. Choose your cryptocurrency from the list
3. Enter your deposit amount

Minimum deposit amounts:

• Bitcoin: R250
• Bitcoin Cash: R180
• Litecoin: R180
• Lightning Bitcoin: R25

The system will give you a wallet address and a QR code. From your wallet, either scan the code or paste the address to send your crypto. Keep both the wallet app and the Cashier page open while the payment is processing—most deposits land within minutes, but a short delay can happen depending on the network.

Once confirmed, your funds appear instantly in your account and you’re good to go.
