Bitkub is Thailand's largest crypto exchange, where all trading is THB-paired — so your baht is first converted to USDT before you withdraw. Two things are worth knowing upfront: Bitkub applies a 24-hour hold the first time you send to a new address, and all activity is under Thai PDPA/KYC rules, so a fully verified account is required. Once those are cleared, pick the TRC20 network and your USDT lands on Fish & Chips for a flat 1 USDT fee — we never charge anything on deposits.
TL;DR: Bitkub → buy USDT with THB → Wallet → Withdraw → USDT → TRC20 (Tron, not ERC20) → whitelist and verify your TronLink address (starts with
T) → wait out the 24h new-address hold once → arrives in ~2 minutes → connect at fishnchips.io/wallet.

Step 1 — Install TronLink and copy your address
On mobile, install TronLink from the App Store or Play Store. Create or restore a wallet and write the 12-word recovery phrase down offline. If you lose it, the funds are gone — Bitkub support cannot recover a self-custodial wallet.
Your address starts with a capital T and is 34 characters long. Tap it in TronLink to copy.
Step 2 — Withdraw from Bitkub
- Sign in to Bitkub with full KYC verified. If you hold THB, buy USDT on the THB/USDT market first.
- Go to Wallet → USDT → Withdraw.
- Network: choose TRC20. This is the single step that can lose your money.
- Add your TronLink address to Bitkub's withdrawal whitelist. The first send to a new address triggers a 24-hour security hold — whitelist it now and come back when the hold clears.
- Paste your TronLink address, enter the amount, confirm the OTP, and submit.
| Network | Bitkub fee | Arrival time | Works for Fish & Chips? |
|---|---|---|---|
| TRC20 (Tron) | ~1 USDT | ~2 min | ✅ Yes |
| ERC20 (Ethereum) | 3–15 USDT | 1–5 min | ❌ Lost funds |
| BEP20 (BNB Chain) | ~0.5 USDT | ~30s | ❌ Lost funds |
Step 3 — Confirm on Fish & Chips
Open fishnchips.io/wallet, tap Connect Wallet, and approve TronLink. Within about a minute of the Tron block confirming, the deposit posts to your balance at 1 USDT = 1,000 points.
You can verify the transfer on Tronscan: search your address and the latest inbound USDT transfer should read "Success".
Common mistakes to avoid
- Not converting THB first. Fish & Chips only accepts USDT on Tron — buy USDT on Bitkub's THB/USDT market before withdrawing.
- Forgetting the 24-hour new-address hold. Whitelist your TronLink address in advance. Once whitelisted and the hold clears, all future withdrawals to that address go out instantly.
- Leaving the network on ERC20 or BEP20. Always confirm TRC20 before you submit — the other networks never arrive on Fish & Chips.
- Sending under the minimum. Fund at least 10 USDT so you can comfortably withdraw winnings later (our minimum cash-out is 10 USDT).
- Pasting an exchange address. Use your own TronLink address, never another exchange's deposit address.
Once the 24-hour hold clears on your first deposit, every future one takes about 30 seconds because Bitkub remembers the whitelisted address. New to USDT? Read the TRC-20 vs ERC-20 explainer before you send, or head to the arcade lobby for Fish Hunter and Dragon King.
Frequently asked questions
How do I pick the TRC-20 network on Bitkub?
On Bitkub, go to Wallet → USDT → Withdraw, then select the network. Choose 'TRC20' (Tron) rather than ERC20 (Ethereum). TRC20 is the same Tron rail Fish & Chips accepts and the cheapest option Bitkub offers for USDT.
Do I need to convert THB to USDT before withdrawing from Bitkub?
Yes. Bitkub is Thailand's leading exchange and all pairs are THB-denominated. Buy USDT on the THB/USDT market first, then withdraw the USDT to your TronLink wallet. Thai regulations apply to trading activity, not to transferring USDT you already hold to your own wallet.
What is Bitkub's withdrawal fee for USDT TRC-20?
Around 1 USDT, flat, on the TRC20 (Tron) network. It's the same fee whether you send 20 USDT or 2,000 USDT, making Tron the cheapest withdrawal rail Bitkub offers — far below the Ethereum (ERC-20) fee.
Does Bitkub hold my first withdrawal to a new address?
Yes. Like many exchanges, Bitkub applies a 24-hour security hold the first time you send to a newly whitelisted external address. Register your TronLink address in Bitkub's whitelist and wait out the hold once — every subsequent withdrawal to the same address goes out immediately.
