What USDT is, what a wallet is, how to pay with crypto and how to get your money out — written for someone who has never held any.
USDT is a digital dollar. One USDT is designed to be worth one US dollar, and it holds that value rather than moving up and down the way Bitcoin does. It is the only thing we pay withdrawals in.
When you withdraw, your US$ balance leaves us as USDT and arrives in a wallet that belongs to you. Nobody at OriginStats can reach it after that — it is yours in the same way cash in your pocket is yours.
A wallet is an app that holds digital money. It is free, it takes a couple of minutes to set up, and you do not need to put any money into it to receive some.
You may already have one. If you have ever used an exchange app or bought any crypto, you have a wallet address there, and you can use it if it receives USDT on Tron — skip to the next section and find the receive screen.
If you do not, we suggest Trust Wallet. It is free, it holds USDT on Tron, the network we pay withdrawals on, and setting it up takes about two minutes. These are the ones we would point a friend at:
We are not paid to name any of these and we have no connection to them — they are widely used, and one of them is a place to start rather than the only right answer. Install from the link above or from your phone's official app store, then:
Take care downloading a wallet: search results and app stores both carry convincing fakes, and a fake one exists to take your recovery phrase. Reach it from the official address above rather than from a search result or an advert, check the developer name and the review count before you install, and never enter a recovery phrase into anything that asks for it.
What should I pick?
Tron. We pay withdrawals only on Tron (TRC-20), and an address only works on the network it was made for, so the address you give us must be a Tron address. If your wallet shows an Ethereum address, choose USDT on Tron in the same wallet if it offers it, or use a wallet that does. Our service fee covers the network fee, so the amount you receive is the figure the summary shows.
If the address you paste is not a Tron address, we tell you before you can go any further — the shape of the address gives it away.
You can pay for Origin Coins and for membership in USDT or USDC instead of by card. The card button and the crypto button sit together at every checkout — whichever you press, you get the same thing for the same price.
What is an invoice?
When you choose crypto we show you your own payment address on that network and the exact amount to send to it. That pair — the address and the amount — is the invoice. It has a countdown, so send the amount while it is still running.
What if I send too little?
Nothing is lost. We keep what arrived and say how much is still outstanding — send the remainder to the same address and we add the two together. This is the usual reason a payment sits unfinished, and it is almost always a wallet taking its fee out of the amount rather than adding it on top.
What if the countdown runs out before my payment lands?
The payment is kept for you, whenever it arrives. If it is the price of a coin pack or a plan, that is what it buys, automatically; otherwise it counts toward your next purchase. If anything looks wrong, write to [email protected] with the transaction. The money is never simply kept.
Crypto payments are final, the same way a withdrawal is: there is no bank in the middle to reverse one. Check the network and the address before you send, and paste rather than retype.
The first time you withdraw you will be asked to verify your identity. It is a short check and it happens once.
Nothing leaves immediately. Every request is checked first, and some wait for a person to approve them; we email you when it is sent. Until its payment has started you can cancel it, and the money returns to your balance.
Once it is sent, your wallet usually shows it within a few minutes. The withdrawal in your wallet history carries a link to the public record of the transfer, so you can see it independently of us.
Prize money is ready the moment it is credited: you can spend it in the shop or withdraw it at once. Money from selling analysis waits, for the shop and for a withdrawal alike.
| Spend in the shop | Withdraw | |
|---|---|---|
| Prize money | Straight away | Straight away |
| Selling analysis | 80% after 90 days, the rest after 120 | 80% after 90 days, the rest after 120 |
Your wallet always shows what is ready now and any sale money still waiting, with the date each part arrives.
Two fees come off the amount you ask for, each on its own line before you confirm: a platform fee of 25% and a gas fee of 5%, which also covers the network fee.
Crypto transfers are final. There is no bank in the middle to reverse one, and that is worth knowing before you press send.
If something on this page does not match what you are seeing, or a withdrawal has not arrived when you expected it, write to [email protected] with the email address on your account. Do not send anyone your recovery phrase, including us.
