Is Wasabi Wallet safe? What its own terms say
Is Wasabi Wallet safe to use for casino deposits?
Wasabi Wallet's terms disclaim custody and access to your keys, so by their account only you can sign a deposit. Its terms name no gambling rule (github.com, read 2026-10-07), which is an absence, not a permission. 5 points are not verified. No primary-source incident is recorded. Liability: excluded for all loss. Chains named: Bitcoin.

Disclosure: CryptoGuardz has no commercial relationship with Wasabi Wallet, earns nothing if you install it, and has not contacted the company or given it notice of this entry. Every statement below is either a verbatim quote from a document Wasabi Wallet publishes or a statement about a public record, and both carry the date they were read. Corrections go to the corrections page.
1. What this means for you
Consequences first, in the conditional, each one produced by a clause in a document Wasabi Wallet publishes itself. Every line links to that clause, quoted in full and dated. None of them is a claim that Wasabi Wallet can move your coins on chain: the terms disclaim that power and this register takes them at their word on it.
- Your access to the app can be withdrawn if Wasabi Wallet decides to withdraw it The suspension clause enumerates grounds, and one of them is the expiry of a contract between Wasabi Wallet and a technology partner, which is nothing you control.
- You are contracting with someone you cannot name if you use the swap, the on-ramp or the staking inside the app 2 sub-service clauses are recorded across 1 kinds of service, and most of the counterparties are identified in the terms only as a third party.
- You are relying on a document that does not describe the product if you read only the terms The recovery model the marketing pages describe is not the recovery model the binding document describes.
2. What this entry records, and what it does not
This register publishes no number for a wallet. The payout score on the casino register has five defined components and a published arithmetic; no equivalent instrument exists here. What follows is a field-by-field account of what was read, where and when.
| Binding terms | Read in full5 clauses captured verbatim across 4 topics, retrieved 2026-10-07 |
|---|---|
| Contracting entity | Not stated. The licence names the copyright holder as The Wasabi Wallet Developers, which is not a legal entity. The documentation names no company. zkSNACKs, which operated the former default coinjoin coordinator and publishes on the Wasabi blog, is not stated to be the developer or the contracting party in any document retrieved.No jurisdiction of incorporation stated in the binding document |
| Custody position in the terms | Disclaims custody and disclaims access to key materialAsserted from the documentation, which states Wasabi stores only the BIP38 encrypted key on the user's machine, and from the absence of any account or server-side key component. No binding clause states it. |
| Sub-services | 2 clauses recordedNode and RPC. A count of recorded clauses, not of distinct companies. |
| Code audit | Not measuredNo security audit, source review or reproducible-build check has been carried out or read by this register. A wallet's safety is largely decided there, and nothing on this page speaks to it. |
| First-party test | Not measuredNo transaction has been signed, no swap executed and no recovery flow run through this product by this register. |
| Default node provider | Not disclosedNo RPC or node provider is named in any primary document retrieved. |
3. What we could not verify
Every entry carries this section. The gaps are published because a reader deserves the limits of the check as well as its results.
- Terms of service. None was located on wasabiwallet.io, the documentation or the repository. Recorded as not existing on the evidence retrieved, not as confirmed absent.
- The legal entity, if any, that develops and distributes Wasabi Wallet, and its jurisdiction.
- The publication dates of the zkSNACKs blacklisting and discontinuation posts. Neither page showed a date as retrieved; the 1 June 2024 date is the effective date in the discontinuation post's title and body.
- Which third-party coordinators currently operate, their terms, and whether they screen UTXOs.
- Documented incidents. No primary-source incident was located. A reported coordinator deanonymisation weakness in Wasabi 2.0 was not checked against a primary source and is not recorded.
4. Who you are contracting with
The binding document names a company. It does not name a jurisdiction of incorporation, which is a different and smaller gap: a reader can find the counterparty but not the register it sits in.
| Named counterparty | Not stated. The licence names the copyright holder as The Wasabi Wallet Developers, which is not a legal entity. The documentation names no company. zkSNACKs, which operated the former default coinjoin coordinator and publishes on the Wasabi blog, is not stated to be the developer or the contracting party in any document retrieved.source · retrieved 2026-10-07 |
|---|---|
| Jurisdiction | null |
| Relationships disclosed | The homepage directs users to find a third-party Wasabi Coordination Service Provider for coinjoins. No provider is named. The Wasabi blog records that zkSNACKs discontinued its coinjoin coordination service on 1 June 2024. |
5. The custody claim, and what the binding document says
What Wasabi Wallet says in the place a user reads, against what it says in the place that binds a user.
Your keys, your Bitcoin. You always retain full control of your private keyswasabiwallet.io · 2026-10-07
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.github.com · 2026-10-07
Wasabi stores only the BIP38 encrypted blob, so you'll need to type in the passphrase to open the walletdocs.wasabiwallet.io
There are no terms of service. The MIT licence is the only binding text and says nothing about custody; it disclaims warranties and liability. The custody position comes from the software's design as documented: a desktop Bitcoin wallet that stores an encrypted key file locally.
6. Recovery, and where the terms and the marketing differ
| Cloud or hosted backup offered | no |
|---|---|
| What is stored | Nothing by any provider. The encrypted key file sits on the user's machine and the user keeps the recovery words. |
| Where | On the user's computer and in the user's own backup. |
| Changes the custody position | no |
Wasabi stores only the BIP38 encrypted blob, so you'll need to type in the passphrase to open the walletdocs.wasabiwallet.io
Not comparable. There are no terms of service; the MIT licence says nothing about keys or recovery.
7. The app is not the wallet
2 clauses, each one a place where the product routes a user to a counterparty the user never contracts with by name, under terms the user never opens. The count is of recorded clauses and not of distinct companies: two entries can name the same counterparty and each still be a separate thing the terms permit.

By default, Wasabi fetches the BIP 158 block filters from nodes from the Bitcoin P2P network.docs.wasabiwallet.io
8. Withdrawing your access to the interface
Your keys are yours. The software you reach them through is licensed, and the licence can be withdrawn. 1 clauses are recorded on this point.
Wasabi Wallet will continue to function as a regular bitcoin wallet, users can generate private keys to receive and send bitcoin.blog.wasabiwallet.io
From the zkSNACKs announcement that its coinjoin coordination service would end on 1 June 2024. The privacy feature the wallet is known for was withdrawn by the coordinator operator; the wallet itself kept working.
9. Who can block an address
Wasabi Wallet claims no power to block an address in the documents read. No clause in the documents read discloses that another party in the stack can freeze or blacklist an address either. That is an absence of disclosure, not a guarantee that no such party exists.
Coinjoin coordinators may also reject funds for risk management purposesdocs.wasabiwallet.io
The power sits with whichever coordinator the user connects to, not with the wallet software. It affects participation in a coinjoin, not the user's ability to spend from the wallet.
the default coinjoin coordinator will start blacklisting certain unspent transaction outputs (UTXOs.)blog.wasabiwallet.io
Historical. Refers to the zkSNACKs coordinator, which was the default at the time and has since been discontinued. The post is undated on the page as retrieved.
10. What the terms say about gambling
Position recorded: not disclosed. No clause naming gambling, betting, casinos or wagering was found in the documents read. That is an absence in the documents, not a permission, and the general prohibition on unlawful use still applies.
The card side of the same question is on the card register, and the casino side on KYC on withdrawal.
11. Chains it names
Of the eight chains this register filters on, Wasabi Wallet names 1: Bitcoin. Not named on the pages read: Ethereum, Solana, TON, Tron, BNB Chain, Base, Polygon. Wasabi's own documentation describes it as Bitcoin-only. No other network is supported.
Why is Wasabi Bitcoin-only?docs.wasabiwallet.io
12. Liability, amendment, arbitration and where you can use it
The liability clause excludes liability for all loss rather than capping it at a figure. It is the clause that decides what the rest of the document is worth.
IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.github.com
What the provider states it processes, and who it passes it to. Recorded because a wallet that never touches a key can still see every address you hold.
Wasabi communicates to the coordinator server to participate in coinjoins. By default, all communication is done over Tordocs.wasabiwallet.io
13. Public record
No incident is recorded for Wasabi Wallet. That is not a clean bill of health. No primary source, meaning a company disclosure, a public vulnerability register entry or a regulator action, was located within this collection. Absence of a record here is the absence of a search result.
14. Who should avoid Wasabi Wallet
Anyone who needs a named party to be answerable for a loss. The liability position is excludes liability for all loss, and the terms disclaim responsibility for every third-party service the app routes you into.
