The rise of cryptocurrency has revolutionized the world of gambling. Since gambling requires the exchange of money for a product or service, the use of cryptocurrency (i.e. Bitcoin) has made it easier to both buy and sell services. Gambling can be broadly broken down into a few categories: sports betting, poker, casino games, and lottery games. The most common form of gambling is online sports betting. Online sports betting is the practice of placing bets on sports via websites. Today, most gambling takes place through online sportsbooks and traditional casinos.
As of now, most crypto gambling is conducted with fiat currencies. However, crypto has become an increasingly popular alternative. Gambling with cryptocurrency is the use of crypto to conduct online or offline transactions. Instead of the use of a credit or debit card, individuals and businesses now use blockchain-based cryptocurrencies to transfer their funds.
