BITCOIN QUICKSTART GUIDE
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency - a form of electronic cash. It’s a decentralized digital currency without a central bank or any single administrator. It can be sent from user to user on a peer-to-peer network without the need for intermediaries, which also means minimal transactional fees.
Why use Bitcoin?
- Fees are so much lower, we'll say it again - minimal transactional fees! No more hefty banking fees going to waste. For your deposits AND winnings – Your money remains YOUR money.
- No more rejections! If you have experience with online slots, you know deposit rejections can be a pain. With Bitcoin, rejections become a thing of the past. You are guaranteed a successful purchase, every time.
- Faster payouts! Up to 5 days FASTER processing times compared to regular methods like Wire transfer and even direct card payments
- Privacy and anonymity! Tired of your bank asking questions about your personal entertainment transactions? Using Bitcoin gives you the privacy you deserve. Remember; Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency without a central bank or any administrators – transactions are not traceable due to the highly encrypted nature of Bitcoin. You will have a new, randomly generated “account number” for every transaction
- Better deals! Get up to 50% more in bonuses simply by using Bitcoin to deposit. There are also regular Bitcoin ONLY deals popping up from time to time, keep an eye on your inbox for those.
- Faster depositing – Once set up, Bitcoin is a much more convenient way to deposit – Simply scan a code in the casino cashier using your phone and you’re done. No more fiddling with card numbers.
