The blockchain technology is picking up speed. At first used for timestamping digital documents, by now it has been deployed in dozens of ways, including payments in cryptocurrency, medical records, monitoring supplies, e-notary, tax collection and many more. The i-gaming industry has not become an exclusion. Not only casinos offer their players to pay in cryptocurrencies, recently the use of technology has gone further, namely, first blockchain projects appeared.

The first blockchain casino: a competitive advantage

What does it mean, a blockchain casino? The technology has not been standardised, which means that each operator finds their own way to implement it. The breakthrough in this field was made by Edgeless, the first casino to build their system on blockchain and to receive a gaming license. It was a huge step for the whole industry of gambling and blockchain. As Edgeless themselves point it, they used the technology called Ethereum Smart Contract. It excludes any possibility to cheat; besides it offers a fast and secure payment methods without additional fees. Later on, appeared some more operators to run their blockchain casino projects. They made a bet on the innovation and have probably been right. The blockchain technology has a great growth potential, but this potential could be even bigger if businesses are licensed.

What are the advantages of licensing your business?

First, the trust of your players. Players are less prone to deposit their money in a dubious casino that has no license and thus does not guarantee the winnings payment. Why to play in a casino without a license if there are plenty of licensed companies? Second, the availability of top gaming providers. The most popular vendors will not work with the companies having no license, and if you want to attract players you should include famous titles in your portfolio. Third, payment systems. Being licensed allows you to receive payments and your players to get money in various ways. There are also other advantages, like a possibility to open a bank account, access to affiliate and media networks and many more. In one word, the license sets you free from unnecessary worries and lets you really focus on the business.

Licensing a cryptocurrency project is almost the same as licensing an ordinary online casino. The most popular solution is offered by Curacao, with more and more casino operators to have been applying for it. To apply for a Curacao license for a cryptocurrency project, you have to provide your games certificate and business plan. The process of registration will be a bit longer and have additional points, but in general won’t take too much time.
