Sports betting site Sportsbet.io has opened its doors to users of the world’s second most valuable cryptocurrency, ethereum, in a move that extends the site to more players around the world.
The latest addition to the sportsbook means players with a preference for ethereum will now be able to deposit, play, win and withdraw using their ethereum wallets.
Sportsbet.io originally began within the sports betting industry as a bitcoin-led sportsbook, before going ahead and embracing more than bitcoin.
Its 5m customers are now able to access the sportsbook’s wide range of markets, price boosts and World Cup centre using bitcoin, ethereum, euros and SOC coin – the cryptocurrency of the All Football App.
The sportsbook features cash out and a fiat-to-bitcoin exchange service, BTCXE.
Joe McCallum, director of sportsbook at Sportsbet.io, said: “Opening the door to one of the world’s most popular cryptocurrencies is another step in making Sportsbet.io’s competitive gaming products accessible for all.
“And with the World Cup drawing to one of its most exciting conclusions, ethereum players will now be able to easily get involved in all the action.”
