Bitcoin, Roobet and a closed list stated by the operator
Roobet is worth approaching with Bitcoin on the strength of one sentence the operator wrote itself: its deposit article gives a list of coins it credits and says, in its own words, that sending anything else means the coin is lost and the account is not credited. Bitcoin is on the list. A closed list with a stated consequence is more useful than a long open one.
What the same article does not do is name a network for Bitcoin, and for this coin that matters less than it would for a stablecoin. It matters at all, though, because the reason the warning exists is that a crypto transfer has no undo. This page is about what that list settles and what it leaves to the reader.
A list with a consequence attached
Most cashiers publish a list of accepted coins and leave the reader to guess what happens to the rest. Roobet's article says it: a coin outside the list is lost, and the balance does not move. That is the right way round, because the list only becomes useful once you know it is exhaustive.
The same article states a confirmation count for Bitcoin deposits -- one -- which is the operator describing its own threshold rather than a property of the network. It is mentioned here because it is published, not because a confirmation count is something to shop on.
Why there is nothing to cancel
A Bitcoin transfer is a signed message handed to a crowd. The moment it is broadcast it is out of the sender's hands, and the moment it is written into a block it is out of everybody's. There is no clearing house holding it, no settlement window during which it can be pulled, and no account relationship that would let a desk reach into the ledger and put it back.
The consequence worth internalising is that the warning in Roobet's article is not legal boilerplate. It is a literal description of the mechanics. A wrong coin does not bounce and does not sit in limbo; it lands somewhere that has no process for returning it.
This is also why a careful reader treats the deposit screen as the last checkpoint rather than a formality. Everything that can be got right is on that screen, and after it there is only waiting.
What the operator leaves unsaid
No network name for Bitcoin, which for this coin usually means the native chain and is worth confirming on the screen anyway. No welcome figure, no wagering term, no licence reference and no deposit floor appear on this page, because they were not in the material we read.
Nothing has been borrowed to fill those gaps. A figure that six aggregators state six ways is not a fact with a spread, it is a fact nobody has.
Reading the screen
Check that the coin you are about to send is the coin named on the screen, by ticker and by full name. The lists where mistakes happen are full of names that differ by one letter or one suffix.
Keep the transaction id, and keep the address you sent to. Between them they answer every question a support desk can usefully be asked.
What this page states about Roobet was read at help.roobet.com, the operator's own deposit article. The cashier screen inside an account is the current version and wins over anything written here.
Questions readers ask about this operator
Does Roobet state that it accepts Bitcoin?
Yes. Bitcoin appears in the list of accepted coins in the operator's own deposit article.
What does the operator say about sending a coin that is not on the list?
Its article states that the coin is lost and the account is not credited. That is a description of the mechanics, not a disclaimer.
Is a network named for Bitcoin?
Not in the article we read. The deposit screen is where the network for a given deposit is stated.
Can a deposit be reversed if the wrong coin was sent?
No. A broadcast transfer cannot be recalled by the sender, the operator or anyone else.
