2. Verification in advance: pass KYC in wallets and crypto-exchangers in advance so as not to slow down with conclusions.

3. Commission analysis: with large turnovers, cryptocurrency is often more profitable than cards and vouchers.

4. Security: turn on 2FA, store large sums in cold wallets, check the site's SSL certificates.

5. Self-exclusion limits: Set personal daily/weekly limits to avoid impulsive top-ups.

For bets from $100 +, the optimal set of payment instruments is a combination of instant deposits (crypto, e-wallets), reliable large transfers (Wire Transfer) and the convenience of cards or mobile applications. Consider commissions, speed and verification requirements in advance: this will avoid delays and maintain full control over your High-Stakes bankroll.
