Right now, the live casino crypto scene is booming with success. We can say the same for the cryptocurrency market regarding all casino games and sports betting.

Bets available in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ripple (XRP), Dogecoin (DOGE), TRON (TRX), Neo (NEO), Tether (USDT/USDC), Binance Coin (BNB) and many on many online casino sites operating under the Curacao eGaming master licensing certificates. This is as per the recent publication here on Livecasinocentral – Bitcoin Live Casinos.

Yet, there is still one drawback to the live casino crypto scene. That is, not all live dealer developers have adopted cryptocurrency just yet.

Luckily, one of the major live dealer platforms, Evolution, which has the most live dealer games, has configured its betting interfaces to accept crypto bets. On top of this, Pragmatic Play Live, Ezugi, BetGames, and Absolute Live Gaming have decent-sized live dealer game portfolios.

However, we still have some extremely popular live casino software providers that are yet to take advantage of the fact that crypto gambling is a growing and popular niche.

Playtech has almost as many games as Evolution, and the company also has a huge online slots portfolio. while in addition to this, Playtech offers sports betting platform solutions. BetGames is another popular live dealer brand now accepting crypto bets. There is also hints of Lucky Streak accepting crypto bets at some casinos.

Brands still not accepting crypto bets: TVBet, Amusnet, SkyWind Group, OnAir Entertainment, and Vivo Gaming are rarely available for crypto players at live casinos. Many of these are part of the software providers reviews page here on Livecasinocentral.

The current situation with crypto

Live dealer games have certainly grown in popularity. They offer a realistic gaming experience, allowing players to interact with live dealers and sometimes even with other players, creating a social atmosphere similar to what one would find in a physical casino but accessible from home. And now there is the chance to add crypto across all live dealer brands.

The industry is responding to player demand for these immersive experiences by increasing the availability and quality of live dealer options, utilising advanced broadcasting technologies and ensuring high sound quality​​. However, the slow uptake for some leading live dealer brands means those not adopting crypto are taking a big risk, as crypto players are already familiar with the brands that offer crypto.

Why would players switch brands? I suspect that when a new live dealer brand becomes available to crypto players, the instinct for casino players is to try out fresh games. This could be why some live dealer developers are not concerned with adopting crypto now.

The Growth and Increased Adoption of Crypto – Blackrock ETF Approval

There are two ways to look at the growth of crypto.

• Number one: The fact that crypto prices remain resilient. The adoption of crypto, not just by individuals but also by major financial institutions, is in full swing. Despite fearmongers trying to quash the fad, crypto prices keep rising. Yes, they dip, but then they recover. There is also the Blackrock ETF, which could be the crunch point.
• Number 2: If the US Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) accept the BlackRock ETF, more individual investors will feel safe putting their money into crypto. With so many people already invested in crypto and the possible increase in people leaping to invest in crypto, more crypto players will inevitably be looking to play live casino games. You can find out more about the BlackRock Bitcoin ETF here.

There is also a number 3: With the way fiat currencies are devaluing because of printing more money, there is an increasing number of people looking to secure their hard-earned cash by putting it into crypto. Therefore, with the rise in crypto, investors should continue the rise of crypto gambling and thus, more live dealer brands will adopt crypto betting into their interfaces.
