Every Way to Deposit Money on Cadoo in 2026
One of the most requested features from the Cadoo community has always been more payment options. Season 2 delivers. You can now fund your Cadoo account using seven different payment methods, covering credit cards, bank transfers, mobile wallets, and even cryptocurrency.
Here is a complete breakdown of every deposit method available on Cadoo right now.
Stripe Credit and Debit Cards
The most straightforward way to deposit. Cadoo accepts Visa, Mastercard, and American Express through Stripe. Enter your card details, pick an amount, and your balance is funded instantly. Stripe handles the processing, which means your card information is never stored on Cadoo servers.
ACH Bank Transfer
Deposit directly from your bank account via ACH. This is ideal for larger deposits since ACH transfers typically have lower fees than credit cards. Processing takes 1-3 business days, but once connected, future transfers are one-tap.
Cash App
Fast mobile deposits through Cash App. If Cash App is already your go-to for sending money, now you can use it to fund fitness challenges too. Deposits are processed quickly and the integration is seamless on mobile.
Amazon Pay
Use your Amazon account balance or saved payment methods through Amazon Pay. If you have an Amazon gift card balance sitting around, this is a great way to put it toward your fitness goals.
Apple Pay and Google Pay
One-tap deposits on mobile via Stripe. Apple Pay works on iOS devices and Google Pay works on Android. Both use your saved wallet cards, so there is nothing extra to set up. Tap, authenticate, and your deposit is done in seconds.
PayPal
PayPal has been available on Cadoo since the beginning and remains fully supported for both deposits and withdrawals. Connect your PayPal account and move money in either direction. PayPal is also one of the withdrawal methods where deposit-withdrawal matching applies — you withdraw to the same PayPal email you deposited from.
Crypto via Stripe
Cadoo now accepts cryptocurrency deposits through Stripe's crypto integration. You can deposit using Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDC, and other supported tokens. The conversion to USD happens at the time of deposit, so your Cadoo balance is always in dollars.
Quick Deposit Presets
Season 2 also added quick deposit presets: $50, $100, $250, and $500. Pick a preset and confirm — no need to type in an amount manually. This makes funding your account faster, especially when you spot a challenge you want to join immediately.
Which Method Should You Use?
For speed, Apple Pay or Google Pay are the fastest. For larger amounts, ACH has the lowest fees. For flexibility, PayPal works for both deposits and withdrawals. For crypto holders, the Stripe crypto option lets you put your holdings to work in fitness challenges.
