SOFTSWISS, an innovative tech provider offering iGaming solutions, presents its latest crypto gaming trends report, derived from the data collected across five hundred brands powered by the сompany.

The presented analysis considers in-game currency conversion capabilities. In 2022, the SOFTSWISS Online Casino Platform introduced a crypto-centric feature, heralding a new paradigm where players possessing crypto holdings could seamlessly partake in games originally designed for fiat currency transactions.

H1 2023: THE BIG PICTURE

During the first half of the year, the iGaming market exhibited a consistent pattern of growth. In absolute terms, the total wagered amount demonstrated a 37% increase compared to the first half of the previous year, while the number of bets underscored even more remarkable growth of 49%.

STATE OF CRYPTO

When comparing digital coin bets between H1 2023 and H1 2022, the analysis shows stable 16.5% growth in monetary terms. Notably, the number of crypto bets has soared by 83.6% since the second half of 2022. At the same time, they remained consistent at 29.5% of the total wagered amount in the last six months, which indicates a continued player interest in this option regardless of fluctuations in cryptocurrency rates.

AVERAGE BET

Intriguing trends emerge as part of the average bet analysis spanning 2022 to 2023. While the average total and fiat bets show minor fluctuations within the 4-9 p.p. range, the average crypto bet follows a different trajectory. It initially drops from 2.84 euro in the first half of 2022 to 1.69 euro in its second half, but then rebounds to 1.80 euro in the first half of 2023. Notably, the average crypto bet demonstrates a rapid decline during the first six months of the year despite the concurrent rise in the number of crypto bets. 

Andrey Starovoitov, Co-CEO at SOFTSWISS comments: “The crypto market is rather sensitive to changes in the global environment. The SOFTSWISS analysts conducted a correlation analysis between key player activity indicators and the Fear and Greed Index. The analysis revealed that even during the period of relative apprehension in the cryptocurrency market, business indicators remain precisely high.”

PREVALENT CRYPTOCURRENCIES IN IGAMING

The Top 5 most used digital coins according to the SOFTSWISS Online Casino Platform remained unchanged in 2022-2023. 

As of the first half of the current year, the cryptocurrency distribution structure is as follows:

  • Bitcoin – 76.2%
  • Ethereum – 9.0%
  • Litecoin – 5.5% 
  • Tether – 4.7%
  • Dogecoin – 2.6%

Bitcoin has seen the most growth, with its share increasing by 7.9 p.p. compared to the first half of the previous year. On the other hand, Ethereum and Litecoin have lost 5.5 and 2.5 p.p. respectively.

Global crypto entertainment brand BC.GAME has been named “Best Crypto Casino 2025” at the SiGMA Central Europe B2C Awards, held this year in Rome. The result has been published via SiGMA’s official channels and industry media, with BC.GAME listed among the winners in the cryptocasino operator category.

As part of the SiGMA Central Europe 2025 event in early November, the B2C Awards focused on operators that have shown notable performance in online entertainment and sports betting over the past year. The “Best CryptoCasino 2025” category is specifically dedicated to platforms built around crypto assets as a core feature of their offering.

According to award-related communications and public review sources, BC.GAME’s recognition is linked to its integration of crypto payments, multi-vertical product line-up and ongoing development in Web3-oriented use cases. Several third-party reviews have highlighted BC.GAME as a representative example of a platform that supports multiple cryptocurrencies, combines casino and sports content, and designs features with on-chain users in mind.

BC.GAME noted that the award serves as a form of interim feedback on the platform’s long-term commitment to the crypto segment. The company plans to continue improving the user experience around crypto payments, cross-device product performance and content operations, while expanding sports and esports-related partnerships in markets where such activities are permitted by local regulation.

As a crypto-native operator, BC.GAME incorporates mechanisms such as provably fair verification into its product design and combines these with a native token and promotional structures to deliver an integrated casino and sports experience for crypto community users. With continued nominations and awards within the SiGMA framework and other international programmes, BC.GAME is increasingly regarded as a long-term player in the crypto entertainment vertical.

Romania Bans Polymarket Over Illegal Cryptocurrency Betting Activities

Romania’s National Office for Gambling (ONJN) has officially blacklisted Polymarket, a prominent prediction market that allows users to bet on future events, citing its operation as an unlicensed gambling platform. The decision comes amid heightened concerns over crypto-based betting during recent election cycles, where Polymarket reportedly saw trading volumes surpassing $600 million.

ONJN asserts that Polymarket’s “counterpart betting” model – where users wager against each other on future outcomes – falls squarely within the scope of Romanian gambling regulations. The regulator clarified that regardless of whether bets are placed using fiat currency or cryptocurrencies, they are legal gambling activities that require appropriate licensing. ONJN President Vlad-Cristian Soare emphasised that the issue is about compliance with the law, not technology, stating, “It’s about the law, not the platform’s blockchain foundation.”

Although Polymarket promotes itself as an “event trading” platform, ONJN concluded that its operational structure – where users place bets on the outcomes of unpredictable events and the platform earns commissions – meets the legal criteria of gambling. Consequently, Romanian internet providers are now mandated to block access to the platform.
