Crazy high Blockchain fee

Why is the blockchain fee gone up like 300% in past week ? When I send a transaction of $32 in BTC the fee is now over $7 whereas like a week ago it was only like $2. (For the regular timeframe not expedited)
Only getting $25 of the $32 is ridiculous.
Anybody know ?

It’s more like 500x crazy. It use to be $0.03 for me ever time, but was at $15 for $1k middle of this week. I waited a couple days and got it though for under $6, but it’s back up to $7.50 now.

Someone on 2+2 say “BTC is climbing at the same time that many Chinese miners are going into their off-season.” for whatever that is worth Shrug

Anybody else fine a cheaper Blockchain wallet to use?

If it stays at $10-$15, I’m just going to switch to Visa/MC deposits as their 5.9% fee would be cheaper than this BS.

Hi @NIST_123 & @Billy723,

Although I do understand your concern in regards to this, we as Ignition Casino don’t have control over the fees.

We can recommend that you try using a different Wallet or else try to use a different currency. Bitcoin Cash is an alternative to lower fees, if you would like to try that method, which is available on your accounts.

I’m waiting 120 hours and counting with $1.25 fee attached since early Monday morning.

I thought they were supposed to return after 72 hours transits not processed.

@FutureInsights Is that something exchange or wallet specific?

I deposited Monday and just got credit tonight, still had to pay the fee though, Ha!

What are you using? Mine is never over a dollar for $100+

Can someone tell me why the fee is so high ?? I deposited $44 in Bitcoin and the blockchain fee was over $12. I only got about $24 in playable funds after all the fees! Didn’t even make the $30 deposit to get my free spins. Am I doing something wrong ? Not worth the deposit if this is normal

I am using Coinbase and Blockchain to deposit BTC
