Cryptobetting vs traditional online betting

When discussing the advantages of crypto sports betting vs traditional online sports betting, there are advantages for both sides.

CRYPTO BETTING ADVANTAGES

ANONYMITY

Crypto betting offers an unseen improvement in anonymity. It is so easy for any bettor to make an account at any crypto sportsbook. All you need is your email. No name needed, no address neded, no ID’s to send in. Nothing

Just email and bitcoin!

Ease of money transfer

By being able to use bitcoin to deposit and withdraw, it makes it effortless for bitcoins to go from your wallet to your sportsbook wallet and vice versa. Payouts are extremely quick and there are almost 0 fees. The versatility of this function is really what is going to change the game.

LIQUIDITY

With bitcoin sportsbetting, liquidity is the name of the game. How many times have you been lineshopping and saw that your book offered a really bad line compared to the other top sportsbooks. Now imagine being able to see that and have the money transferred to the book with hte best line literally within minutes. Most bookmakers offer 0 confrimation deposits, that means when you withdraw from one bookmaker, by the time it even shows up on the blockchain without any confirmations your money could be ready on your other account!

That’s just the liquidity of bitcoin for sportsbetting, now being able to access that money and directly exchange it for fiat currency is another added advantage. US based sportsbettors have been having a huge problem for years of waiting long for sportsbook withdrawals. They have to wait for checks or bank wires and incure fees. Because of USA regulations neither Skrill nor Neteller works as a ewallets in USA.

TRADITIONAL BETTING ADVANTAGES

TIGHTER LINES

Better lines at traditional online sportsbook have much lower juice than the current crop of top bitcoin sportsbooks. This brings a huge advantage to the current traditional online betting situation. Because there aren’t as many “sharp” books, there usually won’t be many crypto arbitrage opportunities. Arbers will likely be sticking to traditional online sportsbooks until someone like Pinnacle steps out into the online cryptocurrency sportsbook arena

HIGHER LIMITS

Traditional online sportsbooks usually have much higher limits and especially at the exchanges where the liquidity is extremely high on big events. This makes it easier to place bigger bets since currently there aren’t many crypto bookmakers that are accepting bets of 50+ bitcoins per bet.

MORE ESTABLISHED BOOKMAKERS

The traditional online sportsbook scene offers big players that have been established for many many years whereas the crypto sporsbook world has just began to open up. As the crypto betting world starts to take shape and more dominant players establish themselves, this advantage will start to be less important.
