Transaction hash
A unique ID for a blockchain transaction that anyone can look up on a block explorer to see its status.
A transaction hash (also called a TXID or tx hash) is a string of characters that identifies one transaction on a blockchain. Paste it into a block explorer for that chain and you can see the sender, receiver, amount, fee, time and number of confirmations.
Why it matters
It is your proof of payment. If a deposit does not appear or a withdrawal is disputed, the hash settles what happened. In our payout tests, we record the hash for every withdrawal so readers can check our timings independently.
Worked example
A casino says your withdrawal was sent. It gives you a hash. You search it on a Bitcoin block explorer and see the transaction confirmed 14 minutes later with the correct amount to your address. If the casino cannot provide a hash, the payment has probably not been broadcast yet.
Tips
- Use an explorer for the right chain. A Tron hash will not show up on an Ethereum explorer.
- Save hashes with dates and amounts for your tax records.
