Crypto bookmakers

What makes a crypto bookmaker different

The balance can be held in crypto, deposits confirm as soon as the network does and withdrawals arrive in minutes rather than days. Verification is lighter, at least until a large withdrawal, and the sites accept players from countries where cards and banks refuse gambling transactions. The trade-offs are price swings on the balance, network fees, and a licence that is almost always Curaçao.

What to expect

• Coins. Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT and USDC on nearly every site; Litecoin, Tron and Dogecoin on many.
• Stablecoins. USDT and USDC hold your balance at a dollar value; use them if you do not want to bet on the coin as well as the match.
• Bonuses. Deposit matches, rakeback and weekly cashback are common; wagering terms are the same as anywhere else.
• Licences. Curaçao almost everywhere; few crypto operators hold a national licence.

The crypto-friendly bookmakers we tested

Thirteen of our twenty-two operators accept crypto. Some are casino-first brands with a sportsbook; most are the international platforms that dominate Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe.
