How to Make Your First Deposit on Kokomo Games

Ready to Play for Real Money?

Once you've tested the free practice games, you might want to play Real Money Matches against real opponents. This guide walks you through every deposit method.

Deposit Methods Overview

Kokomo accepts multiple payment methods:

Availability of card and Apple Pay varies by region.

Method 1: Apple Pay or Card

Best for: Players without crypto who want to start quickly

US players can deposit with Apple Pay, and card is available in supported regions. Open the deposit screen, choose the method, enter an amount, authenticate, and your Kokomo balance updates — no crypto knowledge needed. A processing fee of roughly 3% applies.

Method 2: Crypto Deposit

Best for: Players who already hold crypto

On desktop you can connect a wallet (MetaMask, Core, Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet) to deposit in a couple of clicks. On any device you can also just send funds to your deposit address — Kokomo accepts major cryptocurrencies on all major chains:

1. Log into Kokomo Games
2. Open Deposit and select Crypto
3. Choose your network (Avalanche, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, BSC, Ethereum or Solana)
4. Copy your unique deposit address
5. Send USDC or USDT from your own wallet or exchange to that address on the network you chose
6. Wait for blockchain confirmation (usually under a minute)
7. Funds appear in your Kokomo balance

Important:

• Only send USDC or USDT
• Make sure you send on the network you selected — sending on the wrong network can lose funds

Fees: just the network gas fee (cents on Avalanche, Base or Polygon).

How Much Should You Deposit?

First-time recommendation: $5–10.

This lets you play several low-stakes Real Money Matches, test the withdrawal process, and build confidence before adding more.

Don't deposit:

• More than you can afford to lose
• Your entire gaming budget at once
• While tilted after losses

No Minimums

Kokomo doesn't have deposit minimums. You can deposit a small amount if you want — though card processing fees make very small card deposits inefficient.

After Depositing

Your balance updates immediately. You can now:

1. Choose a Real Money Match (entries from $0.30)
2. Get matched head-to-head with a real opponent
3. Win up to $50 a match by scoring higher
4. Withdraw winnings same-day

Withdrawing Your Funds

Quick overview (full guide separate):

• Withdrawals are paid as USDC on Avalanche to your own wallet
• No minimum, same-day processing
• Unlocks after your first paid match

To receive a withdrawal you'll want a wallet or exchange account that supports USDC on Avalanche (Coinbase, Kraken and most major exchanges do).

Troubleshooting

Deposit not showing:

• Crypto: check the transaction on the network's block explorer
• Card / Apple Pay: check your statement for the charge
• Contact support if stuck

Card declined: some banks block gaming transactions — try a different card or use a crypto deposit instead.

Wrong network: if you sent crypto on the wrong network, contact support immediately — recovery may or may not be possible.
