Mastercard Partners with Bakkt for Crypto Payments

Posted on November 3, 2021November 3, 2021 by Abe Efe

Crypto has been slowly inching towards mainstream adoption. A lot of progress has been made in that regard but that is just the beginning. There are still lots of parties that need to come on board to push the payments revolution further forward. The most recent player in the financial industry that is warming up to digital currencies is Mastercard.

Thanks to a recent partnership with fast-rising digital assets platform Bakkt, Mastercard’s partners will now be able to issue crypto-branded debit and credit cards. The company’s robust and vast payment network will let its users buy, sell and even hold digital assets. Bakkt will be providing the custodial wallets that will make all that possible.

At the surface level, consumers now have the chance to use crypto like never before. These crypto cards will be accepted at Mastercard-friendly outlets. At these places, the digital assets held by the consumers will be exchanged for fiat before the point of purchase which lets them get more choice and value.

“Together with Bakkt and grounded by our principled approach to innovation, we’ll not only empower our partners to offer a dynamic mix of digital assets options, but also deliver differentiated and relevant consumer experiences.”
Sherri Haymond, executive vice president, Digital Partnerships at Mastercard.

To make it even better, Mastercard also plans to integrate the digital assets into its existing loyalty solutions. This means that, aside from being able to spend their crypto, the consumers will also earn crypto rewards.

Good News for Crypto Gambling?

The world of online gambling is not particularly new to crypto-powered payments. There are even online casinos that are built entirely around digital currencies. Even so, the move by Mastercard presents a unique opportunity for even more growth in the use of crypto in iGaming spaces.

The fact that both companies are committed to growing the crypto ecosystem is very impressive, to say the least. It will be interesting to see all this is implemented in the online gambling platforms that currently accept Mastercard as a payment method.

Naturally, given the reputation of Mastercard, some things might not be carried over from the other kinds of crypto use. For instance, anonymity will likely not be a key consideration as Mastercard is usually linked to bank accounts. Aspects such as speed and low-cost transactions, on the other hand, could still stick around.

All in all, this is an impressive move and we cannot wait to see what comes of it in the long run. Everyone has very high hopes for it.

Posted on July 3, 2021 by Aaron Decker

Renowned cryptocurrency-powered online gambling platform CryptoSlots has kicked off July on a very high note. Customers of the iGaming operator can look forward to a fun month as the company continues to refine its products. Its efforts when it comes to pushing crypto to the mainstream are quite impressive, to say the least. But nothing is certainly more important to the gamers than the overall gaming experience. It delivers on that front too.

Light the Night

The first thing offering that CryptoSlots customers should keep an eye out for is its new ‘Light the Night’ offering. This comes just in time for the 4th of July celebrations and is aimed at giving the customers a treat during the holiday weekend.

Light in Night features several eye-catching additions. These include dazzling fireworks that light up the Las Vegas Strip, as well as Anywhere Wins, Expanding Wilds, Mystery Prizes, and a Pick Me bonus game with instant cash bonuses. Those will just be the beginning though. Players who get started on the game between July 2 and July 8 will get an amazing bonus boost to get them started. For deposits of $10 or more, they will receive a 45 percent introductory bonus that they can use up until July 8. This is only valid for the new game.

There is also a 25 percent match bonus that can be redeemed using the bonus code EXTRASPINS. This is valid for all new slots except for Jackpot Trigger.

CryptoSlots Poker Nights

One other new offering that CryptoSlots customers can now look forward to is the operator’s new Poker Nights. For anyone who is all about enjoying the thrill of a good poker game, CryptoSlots has quite the treat in store for you.

To begin with, the players get to claim an extra 33 percent match bonus when they log onto their accounts.

As always, all these CryptoSlots games are exclusively played with digital currencies. To be more specific, the platform mainly deals with Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Monero.

Crypto Casino Rollbit Launches Crypto Trading Service

Posted on June 3, 2021June 1, 2021 by Abe Efe

One of the most interesting things about modern businesses is just how dynamic they are and all the evolution that they often go through. In the world of crypto, we have experienced several changes since the late noughties and this has been even more apparent over the past couple of years. This aligns right with the launch of Rollbit, a renowned new-age online casino platform that specializes in digital currencies.

The company was launched way back in February 2020 and has since grown to be a force to reckon with in the world of crypto gambling. Its success can largely be attributed to its X-Roulette game which launched at about the same time. The game gained popularity for offering all the best features of online standard format roulette games but with the added advantage of being provably fair.

Now, Rollbit has plans to extend its footprint further in the crypto sector and it is doing this by launching a digital currency trading offering. The users of the platform can already bet on the price of various digital currencies including Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Ethereum. With the introduction of the new trading platform, the users can now also opt in to enjoy crypto trading in a simpler, more exciting, and accessible manner.

Industry-Leading Features

Needless to say, there are already quite a number of cryptocurrency trading platforms available on the internet. Even so, Rollbit is setting itself apart by offering some things that other exchanges may not be able to beat. These include:

Zero-fee trading
Automatic cashouts
Up to x1000 leverage
A focus on community

In addition to that, the traders who will be using Rollbit’s trading platform will also be treated to some additional perks that will trickle down from their casino operation. These include cashbacks, rakebacks as well as level-up bonuses among others.

“We are very excited to offer crypto trading on Rollbit. Our goal was to eliminate the complex nature of trading on traditional crypto exchanges, and the team has certainly done an excellent job. With crypto being extremely popular right now, we couldn’t think of a better time to launch this. Not only are we the first crypto casino to offer crypto trading, but users can also be rewarded for trading on Rollbit as all profit and loss contributes to our lucrative rewards program,” Rollbit’s co-founder Razer said.

The casino and the new crypto trading service aside, Rollbit also has other exciting new additions in the works. They have promised to innovate even further by expanding the range of digital currencies their users can trade. More unique or innovative features and even other provably fair games are also reportedly in the works.

Atari Launches Cryptocurrency Casino in Partnership with Decentral Games

Posted on May 3, 2021May 2, 2021 by Aaron Decker

As part of an ambitious plan to regain its former glory as a gaming entertainment powerhouse, renowned software company Atari recently revealed its plans to start an Ethereum blockchain casino in partnership with Decentral Games. To make it stand out from the rest of the industry, the company’s new crypto casino would not feature Atari non-fungible tokens (NFTs) but also offer its users access to several nostalgia-inducing online games. All these would be leveraged by the players to earn even more digital currency. Projections for the venture were pretty optimistic with Atari and Decentral Games looking to exceed $150 million in bets in their first year of operation.

“Atari, and its catalog of classic games, continues to be some of the most recognizable brands in the world. Atari will continue to leverage this notoriety in both gaming and non-gaming-related fields (including hotels and casinos). Most recently, Atari has seen a tremendous amount of success in licensing the Atari-related brands for the use in NFTs,” Atari says.

The company has now followed through with the plans for the crypto casino and it was every bit as high-profile as expected. Last Thursday, the Japanese video game company launched the site in a virtual event that was graced by several artists including DJ, record producer, and electronic musician Dillon Francis.

Huge Auction and High Hopes

The launch event by itself was a pretty huge milestone for the video game turned crypto company. However, it took things a step further through a high-profile auction. Dillon Francis who headlined the launch event was one of the people behind the special non-fungible tokens (NFTs) that were auctioned off during the event.

For this, the DJ partnered and collaborated with MERDA, a renowned visual artist. They then created a total of three NFTs all of which draw inspiration from Gerald the Pinata. These special NFTs were auctioned off on OpenSea and other platforms on Thursday night with the “3D Pixel Gerald” NFT selling for a whopping $17,778 (6.42 ether).

All that points to the seriousness with which Atari is taking the crypto world. In early March, it was revealed that Atari would press on into the crypto space with the formation of a blockchain division, ‘Atari Blockchain’. The launch of the crypto casino sets a strong foundation for further growth for the company in the highly dynamic digital currency and blockchain sectors. it is a very strong start but we will, of course, need to wait a little longer to see how exactly everything pans out.

Pragmatic Play’s Slots Go Live with BetPlay

Posted on April 3, 2021April 2, 2021 by Abe Efe

Renowned gaming solutions developer Pragmatic Play has been pursuing global expansion for quite some time now. The company is already considered to be one of the biggest brands in the world of online gambling and its expansion plans will only work towards solidifying its position. The most recent move that the company has made in that regard is a lucrative partnership with BetPlay, a leading Colombian online gambling operator.

As per the terms of the agreement between the two companies, BetPlay will now be able to bring Pragmatic Play’s world-class slot titles to the Colombian gambling market. This will not only draw more traffic to BetPlay but it will also serve to further grow the commercial and brand success for Pragmatic Play both in Colombia and the continent as a whole.

Among the amazing slot titles that BetPlay customers will not be able to enjoy playing are popular releases like Juicy Fruits, The Hand of Midas, Sweet Bonanza, and Wolf Golf among others. If the reception of these games in other markets is anything to go by, slots enthusiasts in Colombia certainly have a lot to look forward to

More Aspects of the Deal

Besides bringing its amazing catalog of top-notch online slots to BetPlay, Pragmatic Play will also be providing the operator with some neat value-adding services. To begin with, BetPlay will now be able to utilize Pragmatic Play’s Enhance promotional tools. These will come in hand in bringing even more people to the already amazing platform.

In addition to the Enhance promotional tools, BetPlay can also integrate the Drops & Wins network promotion that is meant to bring more entertainment to players. All these features will be working together to ensure that every player gets the best possible experience right from day 1.

“Going live with our complete Slots collection with BetPlay is a huge step for our positioning in the continent, and we expect nothing but the best from this collaboration. BetPlay is one of the market leaders in Colombia and they truly stand out as an operator, so we’re looking forward to seeing how our titles are received,” Yossi Barzely, Chief Business Development Officer at Pragmatic Play, commented.

Capturing market share is quite a big deal for Pragmatic Play but this would not be possible without the mechanisms that the company has put in place to foster growth. Most notably, the adaptability of Pragmatic Play’s products has been at the forefront of its success in international markets.

BeTheHouse Crypto Casino Goes Live for Global Audience

Posted on March 3, 2021 by Aaron Decker

The BET Gaming Network which is arguably one of the biggest names in crypto gaming has been very busy over the past several months. BeTheHouse, one of the projects that they have been working on, is finally ready and is already accessible to users from all corners of the globe.

Also known as BTH, the new crypto casino is filled with dozens of amazing award-winning games all of which have been developed by top game developers. The platform further provides extra features such as incentivized gameplay as well as lots of bonuses and promotions. All these have been designed to set BeTheHouse apart from the competition which is very important in the insanely dynamic and competitive gambling market.

The team that built the BeTheHouse is the same team behind EarnBet and they spend quite a bit of time hyping their new platform. BET token holders are the biggest winners in this case as the decentralized casino offers them a uniquely lucrative profit-sharing initiative. However, unlike EarnBet which operates by recording games on-chain in a decentralized and immutable way, BeTheHouse has been built to be more centralized.

BeTheHouse’s centralized mechanism is primarily meant to foster a more inclusive gaming environment. As such, the users of the platform will be able to access both in-house titles as well as games developed by third-party software developers. Still, there will be no compromise on such things as security and transparency both of which are vital parts of the BET Gaming Network’s ethos.

Lots of Amazing Games

Everything that has been mentioned above will certainly play a huge role in how successful the new platform is. Even so, the aspect that many customers will be most interested in is the actual offerings on the site. Thankfully, BeTheHouse does not fall short in this regard.

On the gaming platform, players will be able to dive into a world of fun thanks to the inclusion of lots of amazing games. The platform has a rather obvious bias towards slot games something that is easily proven by the inclusion of several amazing titles ranging from the classics to the newer or more modern titles. These games are neatly arranged and categorized to make them easy to find. As if that is not enough, these games feature pretty high payouts, amazing themes, and lots of opportunities to win.

For players who prefer other kinds of games, BeTheHouse also has a pretty solid selection of in-house titles which includes popular ones like dice. While the numbers are rather small, the operator has been working really hard to ensure that it adds more titles to its catalog. There is always something new to try out.

IGT Gaming Accounts Could Soon Accept Crypto Deposits

Posted on February 3, 2021February 2, 2021 by Abe Efe

The integration of digital currencies and blockchain into the world of gambling continues to grow as more companies see the benefits of the technology. As it stands, several retail and online gambling businesses already allow their users to deposit funds and withdraw their winnings using crypto. That was just the beginning though.

Now even companies that were left behind are joining the bandwagon. The latest to do so is International Game Technology Plc, a renowned slot and casino technology developer. The company has built up quite the reputation for being an innovative developer of world-class products and it is about to extend its reach by adopting crypto.

According to recent industry reports, the company kicked off 2021 by patenting a method for crypto users to add funds into their casino gaming accounts. The United States Patent and Trademark Office received the patent for a system that will allow any player who has crypto to add those funds directly into their accounts.

High Hopes for Crypto and Cashless Payments

As mentioned earlier, crypto is certainly moving at a pretty fast pace. As such, it is pretty easy to see why IGT is already doing what it can to ensure that it does not remain behind. This new patent will likely play a huge role in bolstering the gaming solutions developer’s already polished portfolio.

The patent filing shows that the crypto payments will be in Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and Ether (ETH), all of which are arguable the most popular digital currencies on the planet. Starting with them is, of course, very logical but we are very optimistic that even more digital currencies will be supported when IGT eventually moves on to the next stages with its patent.

Perhaps the most notable push for this development is the growing demand for cashless payment systems that grew immensely since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. IGT has even recently announced that it received regulatory approval to allow players in the state to use its Resort Wallet to make cashless deposits when playing slots.

It is, however, not all about reducing contact and allow for safer experiences during such times. The direction that regulated gaming is taking in the United States as well as in other global markets is possibly going to involve crypto. That said, International Game Technology’s early moves will be very beneficial to its plans for the very dynamic and rapidly growing gambling industry.
