Blockchain casinos: what actually runs on the blockchain

Every crypto casino uses a blockchain for deposits and withdrawals. Blockchain casino usually means more than that: game results you can check, or bets settled on-chain.

The label is loose, so the useful question is which part runs on-chain. Below: the parts that can, what each lets you verify, and the casinos listed as blockchain casinos in our reviews.

Short answer

What is a blockchain casino?

A crypto casino that uses a blockchain beyond payments, usually for provably fair results you can recompute, and at some sites for bets settled by smart contracts. Deposits and withdrawals are on-chain at every crypto casino, so they do not make a casino a blockchain casino on their own.

On-chain or not

Which parts of a crypto casino can run on-chain

A balance in the casino's system is off-chain. At a casino that runs bets in its own system, your coins sit with the casino between deposit and withdrawal.

Deposits and withdrawalsYes, at every crypto casinoThe transaction on a block explorer

Modules

Two ways a casino puts games on-chain

Provably fair results

The casino commits to a seed hash and lets you recompute results. Bets still run in its own system.

  • See provably fair casinos

Smart contract bets

Bets and payouts are blockchain transactions from your own wallet, with gas on every bet.

Blockchain casino FAQ

What is a blockchain casino?

A crypto casino that uses a blockchain beyond payments, typically for provably fair results or smart contract bets.

Are my funds safer at a blockchain casino?

Not by default. At a casino that runs bets in its own system, your balance sits with the casino between deposit and withdrawal, as at any crypto casino. Licence and terms decide your recourse.

Can I play anonymously at a blockchain casino?

Blockchain transfers are public and linked to your address. Whether you need ID depends on the casino; see no-KYC casinos.

Do I need technical knowledge?

No for deposits and provably fair checks. Smart contract casinos ask more of you: wallets, gas and approvals. See dApp casinos.

Are there fees at blockchain casinos?

You pay the network fee on deposits and withdrawals, and on every bet at smart contract casinos.
