Some of you might not be aware that a new crypto-currency was born on the first of August 2017, called Bitcoin Cash or alternatively Bcash. Since the new coin is a hard fork of Bitcoin, it means if you owned bitcoin before August 1st, you also now own an equivalent number of Bcash providing you...

After a quiet summer, the NFL season starts next week so I suspect I'll be making frequent deposits at CloudBet and Bovada over the coming months. I'm wondering how much you guys pay as a transaction fee in order to get your deposit confirmed quickly. Personally I attached a $2 fee and that...

So I had a few dollars in an old bitcoin wallet that I haven't used in a couple of years. I decided to put the money to use so I sent it to my regular sportsbooks. Unfortunately, it's now been over a week and the transaction still hasn't confirmed so I contacted customer support. They told me...

I started using bitcoin for playing online poker and sports betting last summer. Over the past few months the price of bitcoin has generally been moving upwards so I haven't always been in a rush to convert my BTC back into dollars after a cashout has been processed. However, at the start of...

I'm not a big time gambler but from time to time I may have a couple of thousand dollars in my bankroll. I've read that you shouldn't keep large sums of money on bitcoin exchanges or gambling sites for extended periods in case they get hacked. For 1 or 2 thousand dollars worth of BTC do you...

I was using Bitfinex to buy my gambling bitoin when they got hacked so I ended up losing about a third of my BTC. This was a wakeup call for me so I've decided to buy a hardware wallet to keep my coins safe until I need to transfer them to a betting site. From my research I've discovered that...

As we reported here, a number of fake bitcoin wallets have appeared in the iTunes App Store with the same names as popular wallets like BreadWallet and GreenAddress. Because these wallets look and function like the original legit wallets, it can be very difficult to recognize a fake BTC wallet...

Australia has had a checkered past when it comes to gambling with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum or Monero. A popular Brisbane based and fully licensed bookmaker called Neds were forced to close down their bitcoin betting operations when regulators stepped in. New stricter licensing...

I hear that the competition is pretty soft at bitcoin poker rooms so I'd like to give it a try but I'm not sure how to go about buying bitcoin in the UK. Any recommendations?

This is really awesome news and super bullish for bitcoin. I suspect that there are a ton of stealth Lightning Network projects being developed that we will see later in 2018. I really hope betting sites like Bovada, BetOnline and 5Dimes are also busy developing Lightning Network solutions for...

Bitcoin withdrawals are free and almost instant so don't leave any more money in your account than you can afford to lose. I rarely have more than a hundred bucks in any of my sports betting accounts.

i waited 4 months for bitfinex to open my account and then they immediately started looking for taxation information so i've never used then after waiting all that time.

I don't think gambling on the Apple Watch proved as successful as many had hoped. Many of the major European bookmakers like UniBet and William Hill launched Apple Watch bookmakers but they dropped them shortly after. Casino games are better suited to the small display but I guess people just...

I only use bitcoin for online gambling. I bought some Monero but then I decided that it was better to hodl it rather than spend it on Alpa Bay or at a casino.

i always associate aussies with being big brawlers, boozers and gamblers so i'm quiet surprised that they are cracking down so hard on online gambling, especially at a time when the united states are relaxing their gambling lows. i guess these things swing like a pendulum and the next australian...
