From the inception of Bitcoin in 2009, the number of cryptocurrencies in the world has steadily grown and proliferated, until there are now more than 1,800 digital currencies recognised globally. Whilst Bitcoin still remains the best known of these, other alt-coins like Ethereum, Litecoin (LTC), Ripple and Dogecoin have gained significant market share.
Cryptocurrencies are fully deregulated, meaning that they are free from government control or manipulation, unlike traditional means of payment like cash, bank transfer or credit card.
For online casinos, cryptocurrencies offer a number of advantages.
In the first they eliminate the possibility of fraud. Unlike a credit card which allows chargebacks, or a payment gateway like PayPal, where accounts can be frozen, once a payment has been made it cannot be reversed. They also facilitate fast and easy payment. All a player needs is the wallet address of the casino, and funds can be transferred to them almost instantaneously. There is no paperwork to be filled out, or web forms which need to be completed. Transactions are also secure because only the wallet holder can make transfers in or out of them.
In addition, unlike those dealing with fiat currencies, there are no licencing requirements. Casinos may still want to go through the process of obtain a licence as a means of engendering customer trust, but there is no obligation for them to do so.
Arguably also those casinos who do offer cryptocurrencies as a means of payment have “first mover” advantage and have relatively little competition. The use of cryptocurrencies is still relatively limited, with less than 15% of them accepting Bitcoin at present. Those prepared to embrace the change stand to reap a potentially large benefit.
