Ico Involve

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin are increasingly finding their way into online gambling – the first online casino with its own cryptocurrency has now opened. Slowly, we will be seeing how cryptocurrencies will change the online gambling world. Cryptocurrencies are only one of the possible uses of the so-called blockchain technology.

The technology

Blockchain makes it possible to decentralize transactions between individual transaction participants via a global network using complicated mathematical computing protocols. This means that intermediaries such as banks are no longer required and the whole thing remains secure and anonymous thanks to the transparency of the logs.

The advantages of currencies

For many, high bank fees, especially for international transfers, are a thorn in the side. In many parts of the world, people do not even have access to a bank account. The expansion of the Internet and the spread of smartphones are advancing even into the most remote corners of the planet. Therefore, the popularity of crypto and digital currencies is very high.

In the world of online betting and online casinos, too, money from numerical codes has already found its way into the world. Several online casinos recognize Bitcoin as a means of payment.

The advantages of crypto technology for online gambling are obvious. As a player, you save transaction fees. Bitcoin deposits stay private. This enables players to stay discreet. Small deposits can also be made. Minimum deposit amounts help limit the fees that can grow immeasurably.

In addition to anonymity for the player, the use of blockchain technology for deposits and withdrawals also means certain security for the player. Due to the technology of many transaction protocols, there is transparency with which it can be traced at any time whether and in what amount transactions have been made. In case of doubt, an online casino provider could, for example, be held responsible or would be immediately exposed if he did not make a payment correctly.

Established online casinos like kiss918 have adapted the use of cryptocurrencies as one of their payment options. This step helps cater to various online casino enthusiasts and gives peace of mind when it comes to the security of players.

First online casino with its own cryptocurrency

Now the first online casino has opened in Costa Rica, in which in-house cryptocurrency is played. The Alive Casino issues coins or tokens for the currency Alive Token, AL for short. In the casino, where you can play completely in 360 degrees with VR glasses, only this currency is used.

These tokens can be purchased with another cryptocurrency, Ethereum, or ETH for short. Ethereum is the second most powerful and second best-known cryptocurrency. Many Bitcoin critics claim that ETH also has better technology.

The phase the casino is currently in is called “ICO” in the crypto world. An ICO – Initial Coin Offering – is a method of corporate financing, similar to crowdfunding, or the initial issue of securities by a company on the stock exchange. Investors buy tokens from a start-up and hope that their value will increase through the success of the company or even the currency as such.

At the moment, the exchange rate of AL is 0.0015 US dollars, the course price of ETH is 225.25 US dollars. The casino advertises on its website with cheap, fast, and, above all, transparent transactions. Whoever buys enough tokens will receive 360-degree VR glasses for free.

Security and trading in cryptocurrencies

However, the AL currency is not found on this. This is a known problem with many cryptocurrencies. They are springing up like mushrooms and often there is not the necessary technology behind them.

However, the AL token is secure as it is based on ERC20 technology. This is the same technology as that of the renowned ETH currency. The reason why it is not yet traded on the major crypto exchanges, also known as exchanges, is because the company and the currency are still in the ICO phase, i.e. the money collection phase, and listing on the exchanges is planned for early 2019 is.

But Alive Casino is not the only one of the opinion that crypto technology is the next big thing in online gambling.

Because the overall market for online gambling is large – around 60 billion a year – and these are just the official figures. Forbes estimates that 99 percent of all bets are illegal and not listed.

A total of 120 ICOs have existed in the past 2 years to raise money for online betting providers. The Alive Token will be followed by other crypto casinos and casino cryptocurrencies.
