When it comes to making money, perhaps nothing seems more potent than crypto trading. At least that’s what many crypto traders seem to think too.

In fact, a quick Google search for “crypto trading” or “cryptocurrency trading” brings up over 1 billion results!

In other words, there are a lot of people out there who are interested in becoming crypto traders.

But is crypto trading really a viable way to make money? Or is it just gambling?

To answer this question, we first need to define what crypto trading actually is.

Crypto trading, simply put, is the buying and selling of cryptocurrencies.

When you buy a cryptocurrency, you’re essentially betting that the price of that cryptocurrency will go up.

When you sell a cryptocurrency, you’re essentially betting that the price of that cryptocurrency will go down.

Thus, crypto trading is essentially a form of gambling.

Now, is this a bad thing?

Not necessarily.

Gambling can be fun and entertaining. And, if you’re good at it, you can make some money too.

But the important thing to remember is that gambling is a risky activity. You can win or lose money depending on how well you trade.

Thus, if you’re not comfortable with taking risks, crypto trading may not be for you.

On the other hand, if you’re comfortable with taking risks and you’re good at it, crypto trading can be a great way to make money.

How to Trade Crypto Safely

If you’re interested in trading crypto, here are a few tips to help you trade safely:

Only trade with money that you can afford to lose

This is the first thing to keep in mind when trading crypto. Crypto trading is a risky activity and you can lose money if you’re not careful.

So, only trade with money that you can afford to lose.

Do your research

Before you start trading crypto, do your research and learn as much as you can about the markets. This will help you make informed decisions and improve your chances of success.

Use a reputable crypto Trading Platform

Pick a reputable trading platform like BitQT Trading to trade on. This will help you protect your money and maximize your trading potential.

Follow your plan and stick to it

You should have a trading plan before you start crypto trading. This plan should outline the strategies that you’ll use to trade. As long as you follow your plan, you shouldn’t veer off track too much and lose money.

Get a Secure Storage for Your Crypto

Finally, make sure you have secure storage for your crypto. This will help protect your money in case something happens to your trading account.

Always use a stop-loss order

This will help protect you from losing too much money if the market moves against you. Stop-loss orders are easy to set up on most trading platforms. Always use a stop-loss order when trading crypto!

Be patient

Last, but not least, be patient. Crypto markets can be volatile and it may take time to find winning trades. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t make money right away.

In the end, whether or not crypto trading is a gambling activity is up to you. If you’re comfortable with taking risks and you’re good at it, then go for it!

In conclusion, crypto trading is a type of gambling that can be fun and profitable if you’re good at it. However, it’s important to remember that it’s a risky activity and you can lose money if you’re not careful. So, only trade with money that you can afford to lose and do your research before you start trading.

Midnite has agreed a partnership with Middlesbrough FC that will see the UK bookmaker become the club’s principal partner and front-of-shirt sponsor for the 2026/27 campaign, which Middlesbrough describes as its landmark 150th season.

The companies announced the deal alongside a fan activation at Riverside Stadium on Thursday, July 9, branded “This Season’s On Us”. The initiative offered supporters prizes including 2026/27 season tickets, 2026/27 shirts, match tickets, or a £25 club shop voucher, with fans required to answer Middlesbrough trivia and complete a football challenge.

Middlesbrough former players Craig Hignett and David Wheater attended the event, and, according to the company, took bonus attempts on behalf of participants who missed out.

Andrew Mook, Midnite’s Head of Brand Marketing, said:

“Middlesbrough have a storied history and we’re delighted to announce this partnership during such a monumental year with the club celebrating their 150th anniversary.

“It was great to see so many Middlesbrough fans at the “This Season’s On Us” activation, we hope they enjoyed taking part and meeting club legends, with David Wheater hitting top bins on several occasions and allowing fans to win big with season tickets.

“We can’t wait to get to Riverside Stadium in August to kick-off a new season and we’re excited to say that we have plenty of new and captivating campaigns planned.”

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.
