A crypto casino is an online gambling platform that accepts cryptocurrencies as a form of payment. Instead of using traditional fiat currencies like the South African Rand (ZAR), players can wager with popular digital currencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Litecoin. These casinos leverage blockchain technology to ensure transparency, security, and fairness in their operations.
Crypto casinos offer various games typically found in traditional online casinos, including slots, table games like blackjack and roulette, poker rooms, and even live dealer options. The use of cryptocurrencies allows for faster transactions and lower fees compared to traditional banking methods.
Fun Fact: The first-ever cryptocurrency-based casino was launched in 2012 under the name "SatoshiDice." It operated exclusively with Bitcoin as its primary currency.
