Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

Since the advent of online betting, Bitcoin has been the preferred cryptocurrency. Time, however, is evolving. In the first quarter of 2022, its share fell dramatically. This week alone, Bitcoin’s value dropped by 15% over 24 hours, reaching its lowest point since December 2020. And this, according to experts, is tied to the increased interest in Ethereum and Litecoin, the second-leading cryptocurrencies. Their respective market capitalizations have increased by 3.45% and 2.95%.

What to expect for crypto betting in 2022?

According to the research, it is expected that cryptos would see growth, albeit with adjustments to coin share. And the diversity of cryptocurrencies used for betting will be a major trend.

But what is an altcoin, and which one can you use for gambling when bitcoin is crashing?

What is an altcoin?

The word “altcoin” gained popularity in 2017 when hundreds of different Bitcoin alternatives appeared on the market. However, by 2022, most of the top 100 cryptocurrencies will no longer be Bitcoin alternatives. Today, the market is flooded with new applications and products, some vastly different from others. With millions of cryptocurrencies already in circulation, it’s hard to keep up with everything that’s going on in the market.

In short, altcoins are non-Bitcoin cryptocurrencies. However, some are popular, with technological improvements that set them apart from Bitcoin. And there are several reasons why players prefer altcoins over Bitcoin. Let’s find out some of them below.

Why using altcoins for online gambling is a good idea?

There are many good reasons for gamblers to use altcoins. Here are some of them:

  • Availability

When compared to other coins, gambling with bitcoin can be expensive. Bitcoin is the most expensive coin right now (even though recently it has crashed seriously) and can be costly to buy compared to Ripple and Litecoin. They cost less.

  • Quicker transactions

Unlike Bitcoin, sending altcoins like Ethereum to online casinos for transactions is faster. In addition, some altcoins have added features that help transactions go faster.

  • Wise investment

Some altcoins can be used as an investment tool because their value keeps increasing. Because of this, investors buy a lot of altcoins to increase their chances of making money.

So, which are the most popular altcoins?

The following are some of the most popular altcoins used by online gamblers in the industry, especially when Bitcoin suffers its worst times.

Top gambling altcoins

Ether (ETH) – Popular cryptocurrencies are ranked by market capitalization, and Ethereum is the second-largest after bitcoin. In addition, Ethereum transactions move quickly, mainly when depositing money to online casinos.

Dogecoin (DOGE)– Even though it was made from an internet meme, the coin has become more prevalent in recent months. And casinos love it.

Litecoin – With quicker transaction speeds and cheaper costs than Bitcoin, Litecoin is undoubtedly one of the best options for gambling, particularly after a Bitcoin meltdown.

Conclusion

For the final remarks, we would like to point out that while Bitcoin struggles to regain its former glory, you can save time. Select one of the various altcoins and play freely in any crypto casino, like FortuneJack, where you can find the most exciting gambling atmosphere.

Gmonitor.ai presents its new Online Gaming Market Report: Spain Q2 2025, which provides an in-depth analysis of the DGOJ data on the regulated market between April and June of this year.

The report places Spanish online gaming in a stage of consolidation: year-on-year growth of 18.6% (€410.3 million in GGR) confirms the strength of the sector, but also the transition towards a more mature market, a trend driven by technology, regulation and operator loyalty. The two leading verticals, online casinos and sports betting, account for more than 94% of revenue, with €216.4 million and €171.4 million respectively.

In addition to financial analysis, the study delves into player behaviour patterns, highlighting a 23.7% increase in deposits and a 28.9% increase in withdrawals, reflecting greater liquidity and spending per active user. However, the number of new accounts registered fell by 11.6% compared to the previous quarter, a sign that the market is beginning to mature and focus more on retention than acquisition.

“The Spanish market has entered a phase where data, regulation and player loyalty define profitability. Gmonitor converts this information into a competitive advantage and lower costs for all players in the sector”, highlights the Gmonitor team.

The document devotes specific sections to casinos, betting, poker and bingo, as well as the regulatory environment and medium- and long-term strategic prospects. The report is available for download and can be complemented with a personalised demonstration of the platform, where users can explore how they can generate their own reports and access more granular information tailored to each user and organisation.
