Cloudbet Now Allows Betting with Gold

Posted on November 2, 2020November 1, 2020 by Laura P.

Pioneering crypto casino and sportsbook Cloudbet has been known for pushing some of the biggest developments in the crypto betting industry. The company has been working very hard to push its business forward and in mid-October, it debuted yet another significant feature that has sent ripples through the sector. Cloudbet customers will are now able to bet online with gold.

Pax Gold otherwise referred to as PAXG, will be one of the many forms of payment that will be available to the platform’s users. Every unit of PAXG is backed by one fine troy ounce of a gold bar. The physical gold assets are in this case held in custody by the Paxos Trust Company. For many people, this makes the gambling platform more attractive since the virtual currencies in use are tied to physical assets and are therefore inherently more stable.

The historical decision to allow crypto users to bet using gold is, without a doubt, a very unique milestone for the evolution of the crypto sector especially with regards to the tokenization of physical assets. This simply means that gold has been made divisible, tradeable, and much easier to exchange on the online space thanks to smart contracts and blockchain technology.

According to a spokesperson from Cloudbet, this decision is definitely customer-centered in as much as it is also going to benefit the company significantly. The goal is to allow their users to “express their spending habits through the assets they choose to hold, rather than having to use currencies to which they hold no philosophical or economic attachments.”

The Stablecoin Revolution

PAXG is not the only stablecoin that Cloudbet customers have access to. The online gambling platform has already integrated USD Tether and USD Coin which are by far the most popular stablecoins on the planet at the moment. Clearly, Cloudbet is going all-in on when it comes to these rather special virtual currencies.

The reason for this is pretty simple. As hinted earlier, while stablecoins also offer all the best traits of cryptocurrencies, they are most popular because they are tied to physical assets or fiat currency. This makes them a much safer bet for just about anyone. Newbies are more likely to trust these than opt for other forms of cryptocurrency that are infamously volatile.

All in all, since they are the fastest-growing types of digital currencies at the moment, it will not be too surprising to see Cloudbet and other iGaming operators integrate even newer stablecoins in the near future.

CoinPoker Migrates All its Tables to USDT

Posted on October 2, 2020October 1, 2020 by Martin S.

CoinPoker has kicked off the new month by implementing a huge change to its very popular online poker platform. Beginning October 1, all of the operator’s tables have been migrated to USDT, a popular stable coin that, as its name suggests, it linked to US Dollars exchange rate.

The online poker platform is the first to introduce USDT as its in-game currency, a move that is expected to bring over some much-need changes to the operator’s offerings. This will certainly be a major boost for the site as it strives to extend its footprint across the vast online gambling industry.

The Perks

To begin with, one of the first things that the operator is pursuing with the decision to use USDT is to solve the volatility issues that continue to plague several different digital currencies. More players are definitely going to be more willing to play online poker on the platform using a digital currency that is pegged to the value of the dollar.

USDT checks all of the right boxes when it comes to stability, transaction speed as well as overall reliability. For the poker community, it is definitely going to be a great option especially because of its superiority in terms of providing liquidity and a hedge against volatility.

Poker players are now also going to have the lowest rake in the industry while at the same time enjoying a verifiably fair decentralized card shuffling mechanism, a combination that is yet to be seen anywhere else.

More Features from CoinPoker

Since not many people will already have USDT, CoinPoker has also made currency conversion super easy. Not only can the players easily convert fiat to USDT from their bank accounts but they also able to deposit and withdraw in BTC and ETH. CoinPoker’s in-app currency conversion is pretty robust and reliable, something that lots of poker players will certainly love.

In case you are wondering what will become of CHP, CoinPoker’s original token, it will still be available for use for rake purposes. In fact, it will be used right alongside USDT. Players will note be forced to use CHP but suing its will, however, guarantee some pretty lucrative extra perks such as extra leaderboard points, rakeback, exclusive access to the operator’s sportsbook as well as massive discounts on withdrawal fees.

The amazing bonuses that the operator dished out on October 1 were just the beginning. There is so much more to come. Still, there is no better time to join the action than now.

The Rise of Crypto Online Casinos During the Lockdown

Posted on September 2, 2020September 1, 2020 by Laura P.

The online gambling sector is already a pretty big deal with its value expected to rise to a whopping $125 billion by 2025. Needless to say, these are some pretty huge figures but considering all of the developments that have been going on in the sector, it is hard to dismiss these claims. If there is a time where online gambling showed its might it is during the lockdowns and shutdowns that followed the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic across the globe.

The gambling sector is pretty huge but nearly all sectors saw tremendous plunges in revenues and operation. Online gambling, on the other hand, actually rose quite significantly. An uptick in iGaming traffic was expected but no one would have imagined that would to the extents that we have witnessed.

As always, crypto and blockchain are playing a huge role in this transition. Innovation is an important aspect of the sector’s growth and one of the areas where we have seen some of the most developments is in the utilization of digital currencies and related technologies.

One of the things that have been key to the developments in the sector is the concept of the casino of the future. The pandemic and all of its impacts have fast-tracked a number of things. Now, rather than just thinking about the casino of the future, we are pondering over what gambling and entertainment will look like post-COVID-19.

Decentraland and Post-COVID Gambling

There are tons of ways that crypto has been used in casinos but perhaps the most exciting development as of this writing is the emergence of Decentraland which is essentially a crypto-centric version of Second Life. It is the very first Ethereum-powered space that is a fully user-owned virtual habitat where the currency used is referred to as non-fungible token (NFT).

This very ambitious project stands particularly because it exists in perpetuity. This means that it cannot be shut down and since it is virtual, it cannot be impacted directly by such things as pandemics. In fact, the virtual habitat already has space for all things casinos and entertainment. Crypto Valley, its large virtual business district has a casino and even virtual conference facilities that are working exceptionally well despite the project is just beginning to catch our attention.

Everything is divided into quarters in Decentraland and each serves a purpose. Speaking on the development, the masterminds behind this innovative venture pointed out how “each quarter presents a different context for gaming, from the out and out glitz of the Casino Quarter, to sophisticated gaming rooms with Las Vegas-style stage shows in the Entertainment Quarter.”

Clearly, the casino of the future is going to be a very fun place to go to, and maybe it might arrive sooner than we expected.

Bitcoin Gambling Comes to Android with Dragon BSV Casino

Posted on August 2, 2020August 1, 2020 by Martin S.

Digital currencies such as Bitcoin have truly revolutionized payments and even though they are yet to fully surpass traditional forms of payment, they are slowly heading there. No other industry has benefited as much as the gambling industry in as far as the crypto and blockchain revolution is concerned. Gambling operators have been utilizing both digital currencies and the blockchain technology that power them to deliver next-level experiences to their customers for quite some time now. So far, the reception has been very encouraging.

Android users are about to get a taste of this awesome combination thanks to the launch of BitBoss’ Dragon BSV Casino. This app gives mobile gamers a whole new way of enjoying their favorite games while having access to all the perks that are associated with the technology. While no timeline has been specified, the experience will also be coming to iOS in the near future.

In addition to ensuring such things as unmatched security, low transaction costs as well as super-fast transaction processing, the new app also taps into the concept of provably fair gaming. Bitcoin SV (BSV) has been around for a while and is just as popular as other digital currencies. However, what makes it stand out is its emphasis on unlimited scalability, security, stability, and efficiency.

That makes it the perfect option for online gambling operators who are on the lookout for a platform that offers robust authentication protocols as well as better transparency. The fact that it can work with Bitcoin makes it even more desirable since that is the digital currency that very many people will be familiar with.

What Can You Expect from The App?

To begin with, even though Dragon BSV Casino’s primary currency is Bitcoin, the platform also accepts several other digital tokens. In fact, players can have the app display the currency of their choosing by default and it even automatically converts Bitcoin into the preferred currencies.

Needless to say, the gaming experience itself is the most important thing for the users. As it stands, the app already packs Lottery, Baccarat, and Roulette titles. The game collection is set to grow even further with the addition of other popular titles including Sic Bo and Blackjack. To make it even better, third-party game developers will also have the opportunity to add their titles to the BitBoss ecosystem. As such, the users of the app can look forward to a very robust portfolio of games.

CryptoSlots Joins the Fight Against Coronavirus

Posted on May 2, 2020 by Laura P.

The efforts to contain the coronavirus pandemic are still in place and thankfully, many of the businesses that we know and love have also stepped in to aid in the fight. The gambling industry has not been left behind as several gaming businesses have been using proceeds from gambling for a good cause. One of the most notable ones is CryptoSlots.

The crypto-based online slots platform has recently released Micro Monsters, a new slot game that has gained a lot of popularity for the amazing features that it offers. These included bonus extras that make it one of the most exciting crypto-based games in existence. That is not the only thing that makes the game exciting though.

CryptoSlots has pledged to donate all of the proceeds from the new game to Direct Relief which is a charity that is currently supporting both the COVID-19 patients as well as the health workers that are catering to them. The charity’s main focus has been the provision of personal protective gear for those who are at high risk and therefore any kind of help they can get will be vital to their operations.

“Hopefully this contribution will make a difference to those on the front line as well as providing entertainment to those doing their part by staying at home,” said CryptoSlots manager Michael Hilary.

Players can even take part by taking advantage of the amazing bonuses designed just for this. Using the FIGHTCOVID100 bonus code, Micro Monsters will be able to claim a 100 percent match bonus on their deposits.

More Efforts

In addition to offering assistance to organizations that are directly trying to help in the fight against COVID-19, many others have been trying to offer other kinds of support services to other people. The world needs all the help it can get and these efforts are certainly appreciated.

One notable case of this is the efforts by SmartSessions, an Ehtereum-based cryptocurrency paywall that is helping firms and individuals take payments for their services via Zoom. As such, service providers such as teachers, yoga, and gym instructors among other professionals whose businesses have been affected by the pandemic can keep making a living.

App aside, there has been a notable increase in hires from several crypto exchanges despite overall job losses across the world. This can be attributed to speculations regarding a potential Bitcoin bull run which might result from the halving that is set to happen sometime this month. There is a lot of optimism regarding the rise in interest in digital assets hence the hiring spree. It goes without saying that hearing news about people get jobs is quite good. The outcome of all this, however, remains to be seen.

The Atari Group Extends Its Footprint in the World of Crypto

Posted on April 2, 2020 by Laura P.

It is becoming increasingly important for many companies to innovate and reinvent themselves especially because of the dynamic nature of the gaming industry. One of the most lucrative ventures for most sectors is the blockchain and digital currencies. These two are increasingly shaping themselves up to become the future of many industries and that makes them quite important for many companies.

Atari® has been looking to capitalize on cryptocurrencies for quite a while and it has followed through with these plans by not only inking lucrative partnerships but also launching its own crypto products. The company is clearly very determined to maintain its position as one of the leading gaming providers in the world.

Atari’s Games Coming to The Sandbox

One of Atari’s most recent partnerships is with Animoca Brands and its subsidiary TSB Gaming Limited who are the creators of the revolutionary blockchain-based gaming metaverse known as The Sandbox. As per the terms of the newly-inked partnership, voxelized versions of Atari’s popular games including classics such as Steroids®, Centipede®, Pong®, and RollerCoaster Tycoon® will become available in The Sandbox.

This a great leap forward for both companies especially because they will be making history by creating the very first virtual Atari theme park on the blockchain. Their customers will, therefore, have a lot of fun in the virtual worlds that have been inspired by Atari.

“This exciting collaboration with The Sandbox also expands and deepens Atari’s strategic involvement in blockchain-powered and cryptocurrency-fueled entertainment,” Frédéric Chesnais, Atari CEO commented.

The Sandbox is going to be a great partner for Atari especially because it boasts of being among the largest independent user-generated content and gaming platforms in the world. Its over one million monthly active users is proof of this. This number is certainly set to rise once the voxel-based blockchain version of The Sandbox launched later this year.

Atari’s Tokens and Crypto Casino

Mid-last month, Atari announced that it will be making an initial coin offering (ICO) to launch a cryptocurrency casino. The blockchain project will also see the launch of a cryptocurrency token known as the Atari Token which will be used in their crypto casino. This Atari Token will also be available on The Sandbox.

In addition to the Atari Token, the company also plans to launch another token project. The other token project is known as the Pong Token and is primarily geared towards the Kenyan market where Atari happens to hold an operator’s license.

Crypto Gambling in 2020: What Should We Expect?

Posted on January 2, 2020January 2, 2020 by Laura P.

Happy new year everyone! 2020 is finally here and all you crypto, gambling and technology enthusiasts are definitely on the lookout for some huge developments. Twelve months is, of course, a very long time and a lot could happen in that period especially considering how dynamic everything about those sectors can be. Still, it will be a very interesting journey.

The Rise of Crypto Gambling

Digital currency-based gambling did not kick off in 2019 but the year did see to a number of neat developments in that space. This was fueled by the increasing numbers of mobile and internet users. Moreover, the world seems to be finally warming up to digital currencies. Awareness about the technology is the highest it has ever been. That is the recipe for the growing number of crypto-based gambling platform providers.

While the gambling industry is known for toying with new and innovative technologies from time to time, they may have just hit the jackpot with crypto. Lots of people have begun to understand that crypto payments are secure and extremely fast which makes them great options for gamers. There are hundreds of digital currencies currently available and each of them offers something unique and different. That is just the start though.

Is It Mature Enough?

Gamblers already have access to a number of new crypto-based casinos and they are quite popular among players from all over the world. Now, this has been an eye-opener of sorts to other online gambling operators and they have begun to integrate digital currencies. In 2020, this trend should be even more prominent. Soon your favorite online casino will have a digital currency option for deposits and withdrawals. A few have already gotten on board with this trend.

Payments and banking aside, crypto-based technologies including the blockchain and smart contracts have also evolved tremendously. Most of the efforts in this regard were rather experimental or still in the nascent stages of their implementation. That said, a number of industry experts have confirmed that the technologies are mature enough to be rolled out on wider scales. In the past, the laxity was a little justified since gaming companies were not willing to overhaul their systems and replace it with experimental technology. Not anymore. The ones that hold out too long may even lose out in the long run.

The growth rate of crypto-based gambling solutions is very impressive, to say the least. Improvements will, of course, be necessary but that is a universal law of service delivery. We have already come far enough and there is still a long way to go.

Casino Web Scripts Releases Three New Crypto-Themed Games

Posted on August 2, 2019July 31, 2019 by Martin S.

Following the success of Bitcoin Billion, the crypto-themed slot game that it released in 2018, Casino Web Scripts has taken yet another leap by adding three more games to its portfolio. The three new games that the game developer currently has under its belt include a dice game and two tile-guessing games – the latter are very similar to the insanely popular Minesweeper game.

The Dice Game

The game has some pretty simple rules and includes some very smooth and exciting animations which make the gaming experience truly exceptional.

When it comes to gameplay, all that players need to do is guess the correct sum on the dices that pop up on their screens. This sum has to fall within an interval which the player must select before the dice ate thrown. Very simple, isn’t it? For this reason, the game is a great pastime option for just about any kind of player since no gambling skills are required.

The Tile-Guessing Games

The first of the two new tile-guessing games is Rock Paper Scissors Tile-Adventures. In this game, the player is required to select Rock, Paper or Scissors after which they will reveal a tile that they can beat with the selections. Here, the goal is essential to reveal as many winning tiles as possible.

Next, we have the Crypto Persian Prince tile-guessing game. As its name suggests, this unique game comes with an Arabian nights theme that will certainly appeal to any player who looks good-looking titles. The amazing tile-guessing game is all about testing one’s luck – the players are tasked with revealing as many magic lamps as possible without coming across as a thief. If you are lucky enough you might even get to land the game’s huge jackpot.

More to Come

Casino Web Scripts reportedly has plans for even more crypto-themed games especially now that the cryptocurrency market has regained its high value. That said, we can look forward to many new card games as well as a new version of slot tournaments.

This is, of course, going to be made easier due to the fact that Casino Web Scripts has already established itself as a reputable market leader when it comes to the creation of high quality and popular games and software. Its products and services are used by several popular online and mobile gaming companies.

Posted on June 2, 2019May 31, 2019 by Martin S.

BitcoinCasino.io has recently implemented some huge improvements to its gaming platform by adding Vivo Gaming’s extensive library of live casino games. The platform’s customers will now have access to a plethora of amazing slots, as well as various variants of roulette, craps, baccarat, bingo, and poker.

DAO.Casino, MixBytes Partner for Gambling 3.0 Blockchain

Posted on May 2, 2019May 2, 2019 by Laura P.

Global blockchain adoption has been a trend for the past several months, a very positive development that will hopefully help the industry to recover after the ruin that the crypto market went through because of the bearish trends of the last year. Investment in Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) startups increased significantly as venture capitals and many other investors put on more than $5 billion in the space, with the hopes that it will deliver on the promised blockchain-powered future.

Fortunately, the industry is slowly taking shape and until now, there have been a number of industries that have moved to adopt the innovative technology and more are expected to join the bandwagon sometime in the near future.

Some of the most notable developments include the increased number of crypto-powered online casinos or gambling platforms that have come up in the recent past. While this comes as a little of a surprise especially because the gaming industry is known to be one of the earliest adopters of emerging technologies, it is great news for the global crypto and blockchain communities as it represents a huge leap forward in the bid to have both sectors go mainstream.

As the blockchain and crypto gambling industries continue to blossom, DAO.Casino has inked a partnership with Mixbytes to build a brand-new Digital Ledger Technology (DLT) platform that will capitalize on the growth of the online crypto/blockchain gaming segment.

Unified Blockchain Solution for the Gaming Industry

Some of the biggest issues that have plagued the online gaming industry include the lack of trust and the security of players’ funds. Various blockchain and crypto technologies have been able to address these issues but the new gambling 3.o blockchain platform is set to things a notch higher – according to a DAO.Casino tweet, the intention of the partnership is to build a platform that will “provide unified blockchain solutions for the gambling industry”.

The partnership is a strategic move for both companies as it will ensure that there are more high-level experts taking part in the creation of the new platform, which will hopefully define the future of the online gambling industry and blockchain applications.

“MixBytes are to provide DAO.Casino with thorough consulting and collaborate to create the DAO.Casino Blockchain, featuring all the necessary technologies to ensure the future prosperity of decentralized gambling, as finality, random number generator, high throughput, low latency and more,” DAO.Casino officials said.

The new blockchain will put major emphasis on the reduction of transaction times as well as the improvement of existing security features. DAO.Casino’s plan is likely to go very smoothly especially now that it has already established itself as a prominent name in the world of crypto-powered online gaming.
