Considering huge transaction fees, what coins to support on new gambling site?

[CoinageMint]

I don't mind a little gambling once a month or so.
Depending on what casino, BCH has often been the cheapest and easiest.
Some casinos accept 0 conf BCH tx's and it's never more than $0.01 in tx fees to send.

ETH was good for a little while  because of the fast confirmations, but the fees on ETH are also sky high now.

[Fundamentals Of]

I don't know if this is the best option he has to take or he is only wasting time and money in the process.

It may save time but it will definitely lead to extra fees and losses as we need to buy that altcoin at market price and need to sell at the available market price which will be definitely lead to 3 to 5% extra along transaction fees.

In other words, it is not practical to do it. So if you want to gamble with Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) then just stick with it. What is $10 if you are a gambler who is willing to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on your favorite gambling games? That is probably nothing to you.

But if you are a gambler who finds it a big deal to spend a few dollars to pay for the transaction fee and who makes it a big deal that the conversion of your Bitcoin to an altcoin is rather low as compared to the actual conversion rate, then you better be sticking to cheap altcoins.

It's not the cheapest and quickest and wouldn't want to try that again. XRP and TRX are the choices of most this time and they really are cheap and quick.

ETH was good for a little while  because of the fast confirmations, but the fees on ETH are also sky high now.

And that's why everyone is looking for a way to save fees as we transfer in casinos.

But if a player wants to play with bitcoin or ETH, then he is forced to make a conversion. And if he wants to withdraw money using a cheap altcoin, then he is forced to do the opposite operation. Yes, these exchange operations are not the main activity of the casino and therefore the exchange rates there are very unfavorable for the player.

I don't know if there is such a player who really insists on playing with Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) that he will make deposits with a particular altcoin, convert it into Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH), and then when he decides to withdraw, convert again to altcoin. I don't know if this is the best option he has to take or he is only wasting time and money in the process.

I agree that conversion within a gambling site is not a good choice in terms of prices.

This is a matter of habit/convenience. You always know the price of ETH or bitcoin (most people connected with crypto check it every day), but do you know the actual price of smaller coins such as Zil for example? I am not, and it would be difficult for me to place a bet without knowing how much I am risking.

This is true on where you do need to check out everytime if you do make bets using those unknown or not popular coin and its not really that common that these coins were included.

I do see a few which do list some coins but typically those are just inhouse tokens which doesnt really have a market value but i dont really preferred those and nothing beats out

when you do make out bets using up Bitcoin and other top altcoins in the market.There's really some vibe or feeling that could really add up on the thrill
and excitement when you do directly play with using up these coins.

I'm seeing more and more people looking at BTT not only because of its relatively cheap cost but because of it's profitability as well. Not too long ago it was sitting at a measly $0.00021 but has since increased in price and is now sitting at $0.0041 imagine how big the gains are, not to mention its low transaction fee as well, and since it's backed by a well-respected gambling site, there's no way you could go wrong with holding a few BTTs yourself!

I see more with TRX instead of BTT.

But you're right that if there's a demand for the coin, there will be an increase in its price because of the transactions that are happening on it. A lot of altcoins as a choice to have cheaper fees and it's all going to matter on your choice and what you like and dislike.

But why not make some kind of token for gambling. After all, it would make it a little easier to choose. Besides, eth or bitcoin often have high commissions. If a person wants to bet $30 for example, they will have to pay another $20 for the commission in order to send that $30 to the site.

I am using Qtum token for transfer now because it has low commissions. If sites would add this token I would play on Qtum

In this time, those people can be considered as a rich who are transferring their funds through using Ethereum network. By the way, it doesn't matter how much the fee is for big gamblers. But it matters for small gamblers who don't have huge budget. Besides, Btc or Eth, we have seen some Cryptos already supported in many gambling sites. From those sites, TRX, USDT is the most usable cryptos. This time, I also choose other altcoins like Trx, Doge.

[jostorres]

I and my friends are small-time gamblers, but we are lucky that we have a way to buy altcoins using our local currency and can send the altcoins to a gambling site with small fees, and we can also trade our altcoins to our local currency, it's a big help if your government supports not only Bitcoin but other altcoins as well, some of the altcoins I'm using on the gambling sites I'm playing are Tron, Doge, Litecoin and XRP   

It is really not easy for me to do that, because my government doesn't allow online gambling aside from few places. We do have sportsbetting as allowed, but you can't gamble everywhere, it needs to be approved by this one place, and that is why we are restricted to like 5 online places in general and that is about it.

Aside from that all other online games are banned as well. So, I can't just put fiat into some local exchange, get altcoin and send it to some gambling place because they would know that I am gambling and since they have my KYC that means I won't be capable of doing whatever I want and will be caught if I did that. Which is why long story short I end up not using local exchange that way. However I do move the money to blockchain.com account, and from there to any casino I want and that is not a problem, because they do not check it one step ahead, that is a bliss.

Yes, the fees are completely insane right now. Maybe gradually the use of bitcoin in casinos will completely disappear for these reasons. After all, few people now talk about the use of bitcoin as a means of payment, and once this was its main purpose. People will simply change their habits under the pressure of circumstances and use other cryptocurrencies that are faster and cheaper.

BTT BitTorrent coin, is just a token on the Tron blockchain in reality, so I don't think gambling sites offer fees lower than TRX for BTT  What well-respected gambling site are you talking about precisely? I would be very surprised if it provides deposits and withdrawals in BTT and not in TRX.

The low price altcoin will be the choice for the small gamblers as they do not want to pay the high fee.

Once I discuss the bitcoin and ethereum transaction fees with my friends, they tell me that they do not want to pay the high fee from ethereum or bitcoin. So they convert their bitcoin into altcoins such as TRX, Doge or the other low coin price to reduce the fees.

So the altcoin will be preferred than to use bitcoin or ethereum to withdraw today.

Yes, suggest them to convert their funds as I also suggested some of my friends to convert their Btc or Eth to altcoins. The fee is limited, so it is not a big deal for big amount gamblers. I know some people who even deposit such amount to play will be considered as fee for others too. So they won't use Btc or Eth. The easy way is for them to convert.

[bangkrutmina]

Nowadays it shouldn't just about the coin, but about the provider as well. if a website can have few options like binance chain, ERC-20 i think it should be better

If you are already having BCH in your wallet, then there is nothing wrong in using it for small and medium sized payments. But I have seen some of the users converting their BTC to BCH, just to make the payments. And they convert back the BCH after some time. This is not something that I would recommend, as BCH is on a declining trend for almost one year now. The conversion of BTC to BCH may cause losses, and on top of that you need to pay additional fee for conversion.

The pay will not be crazy for big gamblers because it will be worth the win and they will stick with bitcoin and ethereum even though the fees are very high, and for the little gambler it will be very influential and will look for alternatives to switching to altcoins because they are cheap.
and in my opinion TRX and XRP are most of the alternatives that most people will choose because they are cheap as well as fast.

We can suggest the new gambling site add altcoins to their site to help the gambler reduce the withdrawal fee if they use bitcoin or ethereum. With the increased price now, people feel not right with the fee, but they can not do anything except follow it.

Nowadays it shouldn't just about the coin, but about the provider as well. if a website can have few options like binance chain, ERC-20 i think it should be better

It needs more time to have another option such as adding binance chain or else, but the site can add the altcoin first in their site. But in the future, they can try to add the other option as the payment system to make the members like with the alternative coins.

[XZERO1]

Binance smart chain got low fees and is fast but some might argue that it is centralized so it might not be the best option for some people, also adding any kind of ERC-20 token won't help as they are just tokens based on Ethereum blockchain and actually you have to pay way more fees to transfer ERC-20 tokens on Ethereum network than Eth itself, so it's cheaper to just use Ethereum.

Casino websites should accept some coins with privacy features and some other coins that are just fast for sending/receiving payments so that every customers is able to use a payment method that suits them the best, whether they choose based on their fees, privacy or speed should be up to them.

Which gambling site are you talking about precisely Swopon? There are very few online casinos offering exchange between cryptos, so converting BTC or ETH into altcoins is not a possible solution for everyone. It can only work for gamblers using this kind of gambling platforms.

What coin like monero? Maybe thats a good option though I don't see much user use this as an option but for now many casino are slowly adopting a good coins like xrp,trx  and ada, also doge got a good tracks right now so maybe those casino consider this since this one will give convenience to their bettors and might they will make them stay since people don't like to be hustle.
