There is no single Oshi minimum - it depends on the method. Review portals report roughly C$10 by card, ~C$30 by Interac, and 5 USDT or 0.0001 BTC in crypto. Crypto and cards are the cheapest way to test the site; Interac sits higher. Confirm the live figure in the cashier.
The question "what's the minimum deposit" has three answers at Oshi, because the crypto-forward brand (running since 2015) prices each rail differently. If your goal is to try the casino with the least money at risk, the method you pick changes the floor by roughly a factor of three.
The floor by method
Review portals report a card minimum near C$10 on Visa and Mastercard, an Interac e-Transfer floor around C$30, and a crypto minimum of 5 USDT or 0.0001 BTC. Card and crypto are the low-cost entries; Interac is the outlier on the high side. That gap is worth knowing before you default to Interac just because it is the familiar Canadian option - the crypto route lets you start smaller.
| Method | Reported minimum | Currency | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Visa / Mastercard | ~C$10 | CAD | Instant |
| Crypto (USDT / BTC) | 5 USDT / 0.0001 BTC | Crypto | After confirmation |
| Interac e-Transfer | ~C$30 | CAD | Fast, same session |
What a minimum deposit actually gets you
A floor deposit is enough to open the cashier, load real-money games and test the withdrawal flow with a small balance - which is the smart use of a minimum, since it lets you see how Oshi's approval and payout process behaves before you commit more. What it may not do is fully release the welcome package: Oshi's bonus is a multi-step, staged offer whose figures conflict across sources, so a C$10 deposit will not necessarily trigger the headline promo you saw advertised.
Why not to lead with the bonus
The welcome offer is the reason many players choose a deposit size, but Oshi's is quoted so differently across review portals and affiliate mirrors that no honest page can print one figure. Some quotes inflate a EUR offer into a bigger-looking C$ number. Read the live terms in the cashier before you size a deposit around a bonus, and treat the welcome bonus details as something to verify, not a promise.
Small deposit, real limits still apply
Depositing the minimum does not change the ceilings on the way out: withdrawal limits are stated at 4,000 EUR/day, 8,000/week and 30,000/month, applied in your account currency, and a first cash-out still triggers KYC. So a C$10 test deposit is a genuinely low-risk way to check that Oshi pays - just expect the same verification step as a large depositor. Set your own limits under responsible gaming first.
From ~C$10 (card) to ~C$30 (Interac), or 5 USDT / 0.0001 BTC in crypto. Licence is disputed across sources (Tobique #0000002 / Novatrix SRL vs Curacao) - verify in the operator terms.
