SOFTSWISS presents a report with statistics and insights on the development of cryptocurrency across its Online Casino Platform, Sports Betting Platform and Game Aggregator clients. The information in the report reflects comparative data for the third quarter of 2021 and the same period in 2020, collected on an anonymous basis.

TOTAL BETS IN CRYPTO

The main conclusion drawn from the data obtained for Q3 2021 is that the volume of bets placed in cryptocurrency is increasing. Compared to the same period last year, the increase was 2.8 times. The positive trend continues throughout 2021: the increase from Q2 2021 to Q3 2021 is 28%.

“This strong growth is not only due to SOFTSWISS’ organic development but also owes itself to increased digital consumption around the world. iGaming companies are investing more and more into marketing. This leads to an increase in the popularity of online gaming and betting among female audiences and young players over the age of 21 who actively use cryptocurrencies in their daily lives in general and for online betting in particular. This is reflected in the increasing share of crypto in iGaming”, comments Andrey Starovoitov, COO at SOFTSWISS.

CRYPTO VS FIAT

Crypto is gradually encroaching on fiat currencies. Compared to Q3 2020, the share of bets in crypto versus fiat has increased by 27.6 percentage points in the same period in 2021. The upward trend in crypto popularity is also confirmed by comparative data for Q2 and Q3 2021, when the share of crypto bets rose by 10.3 percentage points from 33% to 43.3% respectively.

Andrey Starovoitov, COO SOFTSWISS, notes: “This dynamic is most likely due to the growth and development of the number of crypto brands. While in Q3 2020, they were still newcomers to the market, they can be considered experienced players in the crypto gambling industry this year. The expansion of these brands into new markets has also played an important role in this.”

 

CRYPTO VS FIAT: SPORTSBOOK

A completely different trend is seen in betting on sports. In this category, fiat currencies retain an absolute advantage. In Q3, 98.76% of bets were made in fiat currencies, compared to only 1.24% in crypto.

Aleksander Kamenetskyi, Sportsbook Product Owner, notes: “This is most likely because the vast majority of the Sportsbook’ clients are those companies that launched their casinos without an initial focus on cryptocurrency operation. Their main focus was on fiat. However, the trend has changed, and now cryptocurrencies are always considered an important component when launching new projects. Therefore, I am sure crypto share will only grow in the future.”

BetOnline.ag, a preeminent global online sportsbook, casino and poker platform, announced a strategic partnership with Sweet to integrate $SCOR as a newly supported cryptocurrency.

$SCOR, the native token powering verified fan identity and rewards across major professional sports, is now available for deposits and withdrawals within the BetOnline cashier, just in time for Super Bowl Sunday on February 8.

This integration establishes a direct utility lane for the $SCOR, allowing fans to use tokens — earned through engagement in officially licensed sports games or purchased on exchanges — for real-world gameplay on a leading gaming platform.

For BetOnline, the partnership represents a strategic entry point into the burgeoning world of on-chain sports fandom, connecting the platform with high-value, verified fan liquidity.

“We are constantly evolving to meet our players where they are, and that now includes the intersection of sports fandom, gaming and blockchain. $SCOR isn’t just another cryptocurrency…it’s the premier token of the sports industry. This partnership allows us to directly engage with a new generation of sports fans who value real-world gameplay, verifiable achievements and interoperable rewards,” said Eddie Robbins III, CEO of BetOnline.ag.

$SCOR functions as the on-chain layer for fan identity, verifiable engagement and portable rewards across Sweet’s network of major professional sports IP partners that boast officially licensed sports-themed web3 PvP and mini games.

By accepting $SCOR, BetOnline gains a direct connection to verified fan activity from SCOR’s ecosystem of major professional sports IP partners, introducing a high-value audience of competitive sports fans and crypto-savvy players.

To celebrate the launch, BetOnline will offer exclusive deposit perks for $SCOR users, including free-play credits and casino spins for qualifying deposits. Future community activations are planned, featuring token-gated private poker and casino tournaments for verified $SCOR holders, with prizes awarded in both $SCOR and cash.

“We built $SCOR to bridge the passion of sports fandom with tangible utility and value. BetOnline’s integration is a landmark moment, turning fan-earned $SCOR into a key for premium gaming experiences. This partnership validates our vision of a reward-first portable fan identity,” Sweet EVP of Global Partnerships Betsy Proctor said.

Initial performance metrics from providers utilizing GR8 Tech’s Crypto Turnkey solution indicate notable enhancements in player conversion and operational efficiency within months of transitioning to cryptocurrency payments.
Operators utilizing Crypto Turnkey are indicating:
1.6 times greater conversion for initial and subsequent deposits
● Cost per transaction can be as much as 3 times lower than conventional payment methods.
Withdrawal processing up to 2.5 times quicker
“The conversion improvements and cost reductions we see would take much longer to achieve through payment optimization alone,” said Denys Parkhomenko, GR8 Tech CPO. “Crypto Turnkey unlocks access to the fastest-growing and highly valuable player demographic in iGaming. When over half of your target audience is already using crypto for investments, offering it as a payment method is a must—numbers prove it.”
The findings confirm the business rationale presented at Crypto Turnkey’s inception: cryptocurrency eliminates reliance on payment providers and draws higher-value participants who deposit larger amounts and wager more often. With settlement finishing within minutes rather than days, operators are experiencing enhanced margins and clearly superior player satisfaction.
Crypto Turnkey is now accessible worldwide and can be implemented as a new option or transitioned from Hyper Turnkey.
