Sportsbooks focusing on more crypto users than ever before

The number of people using cryptocurrency continues to grow each year. As more people use cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, more betting websites have begun to accept the digital currencies for deposits. These websites also payout winnings in cryptocurrency allowing individuals to deal strictly in Bitcoin, Ethereum, or their preferred digital currency. Sports fans can use their preferred deposit and withdrawal method when betting on their favourite events. Fans can also get the latest bonus guide to help them wager on sports and win their next big bet.

The cryptocurrency sports and casino industries are competing with hundreds of websites accepting digital currencies. Websites are now offering crypto-centric bonuses and incentives to entice players. As cryptocurrency continues to grow, sports betting websites are focusing their attention on digital currency users.

 

Why use crypto with sports gambling?

There are several reasons as to why sports bettors are ditching fiat currencies to bet with crypto. The most attractive reasons to fund your account with crypto is due to quick transaction times. A deposit can be made in a matter of seconds. More importantly, a withdrawal can be made in a far shorter timeframe than if you use a bank account or another fiat currency method.

In addition, betting websites charge lower (sometimes no) fees to complete a transaction when a customer uses crypto. There are also some crypto-focused websites that offer sports bettors and casino players more games.

To entice more gamers to play using cryptocurrency, many sportsbooks offer bonuses only available to those who use Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the like. Bonuses can vary from website to website and not all deals are the same. In fact, crypto sports bettors have enough options, and it is growing, that they can shop around to find the bonuses that suit them.

 

More reasons to switch to crypto

There are other reasons besides fast payouts and bonuses to use crypto to wager on sports. Since Bitcoin and other digital currencies are decentralized, bettors communicate with the betting website directly. They do not have to interact with a middle man such as a bank or credit card company. A bettor’s money can be sent to the sports gambling website directly. The same occurs when a withdrawal on winnings is made.

Some websites have added automatic withdrawal systems. This allows you to receive winnings as soon as the bet finishes. You do not have to go to the sportsbook’s website to withdraw it.

Being able to place a sports bet anonymously is another reason bettors have moved to crypto. The use of Bitcoin allows you to place a bet from anywhere in the world and never give your name or address. For some sports fans, it is a dream come true when it comes to betting.

The names and numbers of sportsbooks that accept cryptocurrencies will only grow larger. Of course, not all of these websites are reputable. Some are started as ways to get rich quick off of the explosion of crypto. It is important to do your due diligence and to read reviews of the sportsbook you are considering joining. It may save you from having problems with the website in the future.
