Under a dollar
A one dollar minimum is not really about affordability. It is about testing whether the route works before you trust it with real money.
The first deposit you make to any of these operators should be small enough that losing it entirely teaches you something cheap. A dollar tests the whole chain: the trader gave you real USDT, you sent it on the right network, the operator credited it, and the balance is live. If any link is broken you find out for a dollar instead of a hundred.
A one dollar door is a minor convenience in most countries and a genuinely useful feature in Somalia, because the deposit route here has more moving parts than almost anywhere else. A reader in London types a card number and the money arrives. A reader in Mogadishu converts EVC Plus, Zaad or Sahal balance into USDT with a local trader, sends it across the TRON network, and hopes the operator credits the right account.
That chain has four places to fail, and none of them are the bookmaker's fault. The trader can be slow or short. The network can be picked wrong, which loses the funds outright. The operator can hold the credit for review. A one dollar minimum lets you prove all four links work before any real money is exposed.
The honest caveat is that a small deposit is expensive in percentage terms. The trader spread and the TRON gas fee do not shrink with the amount, so sending one dollar costs roughly what sending a hundred costs. On a one dollar test that overhead can exceed the deposit itself.
That is still the right trade. You are buying information about whether the route works, not value. Price your own route on the cost ledger, which uses the trader spread you actually get rather than an invented figure, then make a real deposit once the dollar has proved the chain.

As a test, yes, and it is the single best habit a new player can have. As a bet, not really, because the gas cost is a large fraction of it. Make the dollar deposit to prove the route, then make a real one.
