Cryptocurrency Gambling Sites

In this section we introduce some casinos where you can gamble with Bitcoin Cash and other cryptocurrencies. For all relevant information about Bitcoin gambling, please visit our Bitcoin casino page.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is an independent and very popular cryptocurrency that was created in 2017 through a split of the normal Bitcoin network. At that time, the Bitcoin scene could not agree on a common approach to speed up transactions and reduce transaction fees. Bitcoin Cash focuses on the payment function and prioritises fast transactions and low transaction fees. Especially due to the significantly lower fees compared to the original Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash is accepted by most cryptocurrency casinos. The demand for alternative cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin Cash is rising, especially in times when the Bitcoin network is heavily used and transaction costs are very high.

Almost all crypto casinos from the list above also support Bitcoin Cash deposits. All you have to do is select the desired cryptocurrency when making a deposit. This means that most popular online casino games such as slots, roulette and blackjack can also be played with Bitcoin Cash bets. A recommendable Bitcoin Cash casino is 1xbit where also Bitcoin Gold and many other cryptocurrencies are accepted.

Ethereum respectively Ether has been the cryptocurrency with the second largest market capitalization after Bitcoin for several years. Also the number of users and the activity in the Ethereum network is much higher than that of most other cryptocurrencies. The reason for the popularity is mainly due to the extended functionality that Ethereum offers compared to Bitcoin and its spin-offs such as Bitcoin Cash. The so-called smart contracts are of crucial importance for the Ethereum network. These are digital contracts that are stored on the blockchain and offer a variety of possible applications. For example, you can use the smart contract technology to create your own cryptocurrencies, so-called tokens, and manage them on the Ethereum blockchain. In this way, numerous new cryptocurrencies have been created in recent years with the help of the Ethereum network.

Ethereum-based Casinos

With the smart contract technology even complex projects such as online casinos can be created. A very impressive example of this is the smart contract casino Edgeless, probably the best Ethereum-based casino out there. It is an officially licensed casino that runs completely on the Ethereum blockchain via smart contract technology. There are well-known games such as blackjack and roulette and also exclusive Edgeless games. The disadvantage of Ethereum-based casinos, however, is that no popular casino games such as Microgaming, NetEnt or Big Time Gaming slots are provided. This is because these games require a connection to the provider server and are therefore not functional on the blockchain alone. But there are also some online casinos where you can gamble with Ethereum without the casino being based on smart contracts.

Casinos where you can gamble with Ethereum

This type of Ethereum casino is much more common because most cryptocurrency casinos also allow Ether to be deposited and gambled away. At these casinos such as Bitcasino you can also play well-known gambling games of the most popular casino game providers. For example, if you want to gamble the Book of Dead slot by Play'n GO or other popular casino games, you can do so at one of these Ethereum casinos.

Ethereum Classic Casinos

The cryptocurrency Ethereum Classic (ETC) was created in 2016 by a "hard fork" of the Ethereum network. Part of the Ethereum community did not want to support the changes in the Ethereum network at that time and continued the original form of the network as Ethereum Classic. Although Ethereum Classic is far less popular today than Ethereum, it is one of the 20 crypto currencies with the highest market capitalization. Accordingly, there are a few online casinos where you can deposit Ethereum Classic, for example Crypto Games.

The Bitcoin spinoff Litecoin was already developed in 2011. Litecoin should enable faster transaction processing, similar to Bitcoin Cash. Nowadays Litecoin is still very popular as an alternative to Bitcoin and is also accepted by several cryptocurrency casinos. These include the anonymous crypto casino BitcoinCasino.us, which was created especially for gamblers from the USA, but accepts players around the world and also supports Litecoin payments. You can find more Litecoin casinos in the cryptocurrency casino list at the top of this page.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is a cryptocurrency based on the Litecoin code that has been available since 2013. Originally, Dogecoin was intended as a parody of Bitcoin, but then developed into a serious alternative itself. The most important difference to the cryptocurrencies Bitcoin and Litecoin is the very high number of available Dogecoins. Nowadays there are also some crypto casinos that accept Dogecoin deposits. These include the BitcoinPenguin casino and other online casinos, see the list at the top.

In principle, Monero (XMR) works very much like Bitcoin and the cryptocurrencies mentioned above, but it puts much more emphasis on privacy. Bitcoin and similar cryptocurrencies do not provide complete anonymity since all transactions in the blockchain are visible to everyone. With Monero, however, anonymous payments are also possible without being able to determine their origin and destination afterwards. This technology is of course also advantageous if you want to gamble anonymously at online casinos, for example. Therefore, some cryptocurrency casinos also offer Monero as a payment method, such as the 1xbit casino.

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin Cash or Monero, in contrast to normal national currencies, have a fixed maximum amount. This has the advantage that the available amount of cryptocurrency does not rise inflationary. However, the cryptos mentioned have one decisive disadvantage: the lack of price stability and high volatility. For speculative traders this is almost paradisiacal, but if you only want to use the cryptocurrency for payment, it is a big disadvantage.

As a solution to this problem, so-called stablecoins have emerged. These are cryptocurrencies whose price is linked to a (more or less) stable asset. This can be, for example, the gold price or fiat currencies such as U.S. dollars or euros. It is important here that - in contrast to Bitcoin - there must be a kind of mediator that guarantees the value of the respective stablecoin. One of the first of these stablecoins was Tether (USDT), issued by the company Tether Limited. Tether coins are linked to the value of the U.S. dollar and are backed 1:1 with U.S. dollars, according to the company. Due to the advantage of relative price stability, Tether is very popular in the crypto scene and is also accepted by some cryptocurrency casinos such as bitStarz for example.
