Bitstamp step by step instructions

Bitstamp is an "all-inclusive" exchange wallet, allowing you to do everything conveniently from a single place - buy Bitcoin, send it to fund your JustBet account, and withdraw it back into your bank account.

IMPORTANT: With Bitstamp, all purchases from the USA are made with Bank Wire which can take 2-5 days. It is not possible to buy Bitcoin using a credit/debit card in the USA. If this is inconvenient for you, please consider using a different exchange such as Coinmama, Coinbase, CEX, or Paybis - all of which accept credit cards.

This guide includes steps for:

  1. Creating your Bitstamp Account
  2. Funding your Bitstamp Account
  3. Buying Bitcoin
  4. Depositing to JustBet
  5. Withdrawing from JustBet

 

CREATING YOUR BITSTAMP ACCOUNT

Haven’t created an account at Bitstamp yet? No worries, we’ll walk you through it.

Just head to https://Bitstamp.net/ hit the Register button, choose Personal account and follow these steps:

  1. Fill out the details and hit Open account
  2. An email confirmation link will be sent to you
  3. Open the email and click the link (link expires in 2 hours)
  4. Next, create a password and hit Continue
  5. You’ll be assigned a User ID and you can now log in for the first time

 

The next step is to verify your identity.

  1. Hit the Start your verification
  2. You’ll be asked to confirm your nationality and ID
  3. Once that’s done, you can upload photos of your ID (front and back).
  4. Enter your home address on the next screen.
  5. Confirm proof of residency by uploading a photo of a bill showing your address (a credit card statement is also acceptable).
  6. Reply to US citizen/resident questions (include your TIN/SSN if applicable).
  7. Hit Get verified (NOTE: later, within the Account section of your account, you may be asked to complete some additional KYC forms for verification).

 

Now that you’re verified, Bitstamp will ask you to set up a 2FA (two-factor authentication) to add security to your account.

With your mobile device at hand, simply follow these steps:

  1. Hit the Set up 2FA tab.
  2. Install the Google authenticator app (for Android) or Duo Mobile app (for iOS) on your smartphone or tablet.
  3. On the app, hit Add an account (on Android you need to hit Skip a few times to get there). This should open the scanner screen.
  4. Back on Bitstamp, hit the I have the app button and then scan the QR code you see on the screen, using the scanner on your mobile app.
  5. Enter the 6-digit code which appears on your mobile and press Enable two-factor authentication to finish the process.

  1. On the next screen, hit Finish and start trading

NOTE: Once 2FA is set up, you will need to enter a 6-digit code every time you log in to Bitstamp. For security, a new code is generated every 30 seconds and you will need to get the new code by going back to your Google authenticator or Duo Mobile app you downloaded.

  2. On the left side, select the cryptocurrency you want to withdraw (e.g., BTC Bitcoin).

Now, go to your JustBet account and:

  3. Choose Bitcoin
  4. Choose the amount
  5. Paste the Bitcoin address you had copied from Bitstamp

To do this, simply follow these steps:

  1. Hit Buy/Sell at the top of the screen.
  2. In the Sell BTC section, enter the amount you want to convert
  3. Hit Sell BTC

  2. On the left side of your screen, choose your method (e.g., International Bank)
  3. Enter the amount and currency
  4. Fill out the bank information
  5. Hit the Withdraw button at the bottom

It should take 2-5 business days for the funds to hit your bank account. You can check the Bitstamp website for more details.
