Tether in the casino: the balance that stays put

The counting was done in the cashier, not on the front page. The difference is not academic: what is advertised is what draws customers, and what stands in the cashier is what is actually settled.

The play button leads to the same address in every row: the casino this site is paid for, and not the operator printed beside it. To reach the operator's own entry, take «Read the entry» next to it.

The score beside each entry measures the whole cashier and not this one coin — the five inputs stand in the method.

It is built to lean on the dollar. A balance in Tether does not change between two sittings through the rate — which is exactly why this site scores «value-stable counterpart in the cashier» at two of twelve points.

The lean holds because a company stands behind it and holds it. That is a different kind of question from one about a rate, and it does not disappear because the number on the screen looks calm.

Tether runs over several networks, and the fee differs considerably between them. Over Tron it is fixed and low, over Ethereum markedly higher. The same coin, two very different prices — and two address formats that cannot be swapped.

For anyone who wants to park a balance between two sittings, and for small deposits where a fixed low network fee makes the difference.

Anyone who does not hold it already should do the sums: an extra exchange costs the price gap, and that falls again on the way back. The way-back page shows where that happens, and the fees page how the three deductions relate to each other.
