Bitcoin Casino Players: Haunts and Spending Habits
Knowing where Bitcoin casino players spend their time online is important to casinos wanting to advertise their presence. A brief overview of online hangouts and where Bitcoin enthusiasts are can help target marketing efforts.
“Bitcoin casino players are usually Bitcoin enthusiasts when they are not at the gaming tables. Anyone who wants to learn more about Bitcoin should drop by the two biggest sites of the community. One is the Bitcoin-centric Reddit community, r/Bitcoin, on the popular networking service, and the other is the premier Bitcoin forum, Bitcointalk.org.”
Bitcoin Payments: The Different Casino Approaches
Processing Bitcoin payments may seem easy, but that is only for one-on-one transaction. For businesses like casinos that need to handle hundreds of payments and withdrawals, they will need to use different approaches and Bitcoin payment processing solutions to meet their needs.
“Online casinos and other gaming venues that accept Bitcoin often turn to Bitcoin because of its low overhead and the fact that it isn’t as regulated. The lack of regulation is a boon for smaller gambling sites that would find paying expensive gambling licenses backbreaking.”
