Get Zcash to Play
Three ways to fund your account — including a native quote flow from your own wallet.
Swap Crypto
Already hold BTC, ETH, SOL, or USDT? Request a live quote from the deposit screen and send from your own wallet. The flow returns ZEC to your session address in minutes.
Use a self-custody wallet and provide a refund address you control.
Play & Swap →Buy from an Exchange
Purchase ZEC on any major crypto exchange. Most require identity verification. Once purchased, withdraw ZEC to your personal wallet.
Steps:
- Sign up on a crypto exchange
- Buy ZEC with fiat or another crypto
- Withdraw to your Zcash wallet
- Deposit to 21z
Get a ZEC Wallet
A Zcash wallet lets you send, receive, and hold ZEC with full privacy. We recommend these two:
ZEC on Solana
Wrapped ZEC (wZEC/zenZEC) is available on Solana via bridges like Zolana and Zenrock. You can also quote SOL to native ZEC directly in the deposit flow and have it delivered to your session address.
How to Deposit
Get ZEC
Use any method above — swap crypto, buy from an exchange, or receive from a friend.
Go to a game
Visit Blackjack or Video Poker. You can try demo mode first with 10 ZEC play money.
Click "Deposit Real ZEC"
This creates a private session and generates your unique deposit address.
Copy the deposit address
You'll see a unified address (starts with u1...) and a QR code. Copy it to your wallet.
Send ZEC from your wallet
Paste the address in your wallet and send any amount (minimum 0.001 ZEC).
Wait for confirmations
3 block confirmations are required. This takes about 10-20 minutes.
Play
Your balance is credited automatically. You're ready to go.
