Ever since the inception of Bitcoin, there has been a correlation with the online gambling and sports betting industry. That only makes sense as well, since no one wants to deal with a monthly credit card or bank statements mentioning online gambling platforms, as it may raise a lot of unwelcome questions. Bovada Sportsbook is the latest sports betting platform to integrate Bitcoin payments, which opens up a lot of exciting opportunities.

Bovada Sportsbook Promotes Bitcoin Usage

Although most people are well aware of the benefits of using Bitcoin over other payment options, it is positive to see Bovada Sportsbook remind their users. Not only is the sports betting platform opening up their offerings to enthusiasts from all over the world, but they are also cutting down on transaction fees when depositing or withdrawing funds.

Since Bitcoin transactions do not disclose any personal information about the user when making a payment, this is a more privacy-centric solution compared to more traditional payment options such as credit cards and bank transfers.

There is no more convenient and cheap payment method to send and receive money around the world than Bitcoin. With its global appeal, and being outside of the control by banks and governments, Bitcoin has been a favorite for people who like online gambling and sports betting.

Moreover, funds being deposited to Bovada Sportsbook is available instantly, and there are no fees associated with doing so, other than the transaction fee for the sender. Bovada Sportsbook makes some recommendations to obtain Bitcoin as well, such as Circle and Coinbase. Depending on one’s location, other options might be more convenient when it comes to purchasing Bitcoin, though.

All in all, it is good to see more businesses explore the option of Bitcoin payments. Given the global nature of digital currency, attracting customers from all over the world is always a positive aspect, especially at little to no cost. Bovada Sportsbook might not see a significant bump in players right away, but things may look different in a year from now.
