Gambler's Guide to Bitcoin Casino

The online gambling industry and Bitcoin are showing how much they can make when combined with several casinos that accept digital currency payments.

The online gambling industry and Bitcoin are showing how profitable they are when combined with several casinos that accept digital currency payments. So between February and March, an average of $4,000 in bitcoin was paid per minute. However, according to James Fuller, an industry expert at BigcoinGambling.com , bitcoin gambling is just the tip of a huge crypto iceberg and is now distracting players and operators from having something even more interesting happen deep inside the stomach of cryptocurrency betting.

"If you want to see the bleeding edge of online gambling, what you need to see is Ethereum, not Bitcoin," Fuller told CoinTelegraph. "Many casinos are experiencing "fear of missing out" when dealing with Bitcoin, but if you look a little deeper, you'll see that Ethereum's smart contract technology is on the verge of rewriting the entire industry."

Bitcoin Is Successful By Replacing Legal Currency Betting. Bitcoin's value comes with security and, for some, anonymity when playing games at online casinos. But Fuller says this is a useful application of currency, but a whole new paradigm is being formed thanks to Ethereum smart contracts.


An Unreliable Gamble
Unreliable online gambling has only recently become possible through Ethereum's smart contract activation. A smart contract in which the code is publicly audited ensures that the bet is paid to the right party based on the agreed terms and conditions between the people involved. These contracts do not require a broker, and the collection of contracts can replace the entire gambling operator without the need for supervision. Code is guaranteed to run thanks to the Ethereum virtual machine. These smart contracts result in a significant reduction in operating costs for the businesses that distribute them.

"When costs are lower, housing prices are lower. And in the future, it's likely that smart contract gambling applications will operate at 0% home prices," Fuller says. "It's hard to imagine what a gambling industry with zero per cent home prices would mean for players and operators, but it would certainly shake up an industry that has remained fairly stable over the last two decades."

Fuller added, however, that if there's a 0% house edge, you'll have to find other means of revenue generation and it'll be very difficult to compete with the marketing budget of the existing casino.

Fuller says profitability isn't the only problem holding smart contract gambling applications back, and says smart contracts are still too young, which is witnessing problems with adoption and user experience that are "unovercoming at this point."

He added, "We expect the status quo to remain the same for at least two years while the smart contract casinos have 'bells and whistles' attached." "But the development under the surface of this market is fast-paced and what we're seeing could swallow up the entire gambling industry."

The Future of Crypto Gambling
It's not just the traditional casino experience that Ethereum is expected to disrupt. A whole new aspect of online gambling is coming true, and Fuller says predictive market platform Augur is proving itself to be the most promising real-world application currently in development.



Auger aims to enable the prediction of future events by allowing anyone in the world to bet on a given outcome without permission. Using "wisdom of the crowd," forecasters can make predictions with higher accuracy, while players can bet on real value tokens (REPs) if their predictions are accurate.

Despite such promising applications in the betting industry, the reality is that gambling, a hobby that can be traced back to Europe and China, is unlikely to change significantly anytime soon.

But with the advent of Bitcoin and the latter, Ethereum's smart contracts, unreliable and unauthorized bets could become a huge market in the near future, Fuller says.

"August is doing really interesting things that the mainstream public would want to participate in, which is good because you have to participate in the Ethereum blockchain to participate," Fuller concluded. "It's good for adoption." 바다이야기
