Interac vs Bitcoin for deposits — what do you actually use?

[Promo Hunter SK]

I've been going back and forth between Interac e-Transfer and BTC for first deposits. Interac is faster on the way in but BTC has been consistently faster on the way OUT for me. Curious what other Canadians use day-to-day. Are you optimising for the deposit side or the withdrawal side?

100% BTC for both. Withdrawals matter more than deposits and Interac caps + reversal risk just isn't worth it for me. The 2-block confirmation on most sites is well under an hour.

Mixed. Interac for small test deposits because the fee is zero. BTC the moment the deposit ladder goes past $200. The cost-per-deposit math flips quickly once you account for network fee + the conversion spread some operators add.

FWIW on Wild.io the BTC withdrawal clears in roughly 25 minutes for me whereas the Interac route requires the e-Transfer auto-deposit step. Cloudbet behaves about the same.
