Although there are a number of Bitcoin sportsbooks available online, not every cryptocurrency betting site does things the same. While some sites stagnate not long after their launch, other operators just never stop growing. Proving they are part of the latter group of betting operators, leading Bitcoin sportsbooks Sportsbet and CloudBet recently decided to update their sites with new targeted offers and more cryptocurrencies to bet with. To learn more about what’s new, just keep reading.
CloudBet Adds Bitcoin Cash
Bitcoin’s offshoot cryptocurrency, Bitcoin Cash, may be getting integrated at Bitcoin casinos at a lightning-fast pace, but when it comes to Bitcoin betting, it is arriving much more slowly. CloudBet is one of the latest sites to adopt the cryptocurrency and the bookmaker will not only allow users to bet in Bitcoin Cash but it will also be giving a wallet boost to its old bettors.
Bitcoin Cash split from Bitcoin’s blockchain on August 1st, 2017. Due to the split, anyone who held Bitcoin coins in their wallets at the time was eligible to receive a mirror balance in Bitcoin Cash. However, not every wallet provider or online site where users stored their Bitcoins during the split immediately supported the cryptocurrency, leaving some without the benefit of getting extra coins in their portfolio.
Like most bookmakers, CloudBet didn’t’ immediately integrate the new coin. But that changed this month and now the bookmaker will be crediting any member that held Bitcoin on its site during the split with new Bitcoin Cash coins. The credited coins can not only be used at the betting site to enjoy faster and cheaper transactions but they can also be transferred to other wallets and traded. With a current price of approximately $1,400 per 1 BCH (Bitcoin Cash), even if one held only 1 Bitcoin, they will have quite the balance to spend on future bets.
If you were one of CloudBet’s members who stored coins prior to August 1, or are simply interested in what the site offers to Bitcoin Cash punters, feel free to give CloudBet a visit and find out more.
Sportsbet Hires New Marketing Firm for World Cup
One of the most popular Bitcoin bookmakers, Sportsbet, has recently hired the services of Odds On Marketing – a high-profile agency that has worked with betting titans like Will Hill as well as the Football Association (FA). Gearing up for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, the bookmaker is hoping that the marketing firm will help the site improve its brand strategy during the upcoming months and expand its bettor base prior and during the competition.
Some of the novelties expected to come out of this notable partnership is better engagement across social media platforms, personalized offers for Sportsbet’s bettors, as well as multi-language promotional content that will target a number of global markets, including Japan, Russia, Brazil, and Portugal, apart from the native-English speaking world. In the focus of the partnership will be Sportsbet’s live streaming offer, which was introduced back in December 2017. Odds On is expected to not only help bring more customers to the platform but also bring back inactive users.
