They say that the best bookmakers are the ones that listen to their bettors and give them what they need. Proving once again that it belongs to the best of the best when it comes to cryptocurrency sports betting, Sportsbet adds a new digital asset to its list of accepted coins – Litecoin. Thanks to increased demand from punters and Sportsbet’s player-centric attitude, now you can easily place bets on a variety of sports using your Litecoin portfolio.
Players Ask, Sportsbet Listens
Following requests from an increasing number of users to introduce Litecoin payments to its platform, popular Bitcoin sportsbook Sportsbet has finally implemented the cryptocurrency, adding it to its list of acceptable payment methods. As of today, any member at the sportsbook can easily deposit, bet, win, and cash out in Litecoin along with other available currencies. With the addition of Litecoin, Sportsbet covers a solid range of payment options, including Bitcoin, SOC, and Ethereum, but also 11 fiat currencies that punters can pay with via a variety of banking methods.
According to an official press release from the sportsbook, listening to the requests of members has already proved successful with Sportsbet’s sister site Bitcasino. Back in February this year, the online casino also decided to add Litecoin deposits and withdrawals to its platform, as players wanted. As official stats show, that decision increased the number of deposits at Bitcasino by a big 22%.
The reason why Litecoin has been on the mind of many a punter recently is financial in nature, as the coin is much cheaper to get hold of and offers much lower transaction fees than Bitcoin, thanks to it being easier to mine. Also, as its name implies, Litecoin is faster to process than Bitcoin, with its network being capable of processing a different block every 2.5 minutes as opposed to the 10-minute time-frame Bitcoin requires.
Commenting on the new addition to Sportsbet, Director of Sportsbook Joe McCallum says that the adoption of Litecoin was just another proof of how the bookmaker continuously follows up on customer demands to enable new features that other competitors lack. According to him, it was logical to integrate more currencies in order to make Sportsbet fair, fast, and fun “for all”.
Litecoin Users to Also Get Free Bets
With Litecoin already integrated into Sportsbet, any new member of the sportsbook is now also eligible for the welcome free bet bonus. To grab yourself a free bet, you just have to register for an account, deposit some coins into it, and place a minimum bet of LTC 0.15 on any available event with odds over 1.50, be it a pre-live bet, a live bet, or a single/multi wager. Within 48 hours of placing your wager, the sportsbook will grant you a free bet of LTC 0.45.
