The Coingaming Group makes pioneering switch to bits (µ฿) betting unit
Wednesday 10th May – The Coingaming Group, operator of leading bitcoin-led iGaming brands Bitcasino.io and Sportsbet.io, has switched its betting unit from millibitcoins (m฿) to microbitcoins (µ฿), also known as ‘bits’.
The industry-first move comes as the group looks to make its gaming and betting units more accessible after the continuous rise in the value of Bitcoin.
In keeping with Coingaming’s ‘fun, fast & fair’ mantra, customers will now be able to play and bet more across the group’s vast selection of casino games and sports events with the same bankroll as before, but visually 1,000 times bigger, allowing for smaller betting units.
After the successful relaunches of the Bitcasino.io and Sportsbet.io brands last year, this move continues the company’s customer-centric, proactive approach, ensuring players have an enjoyable experience on all of its sites.
Tim Heath, CEO of the Coingaming Group, said: “With Bitcoin now well and truly in the mainstream, and its price continuing to surge, we wanted to ensure all games and sports events were accessible to all types of customer. Reducing our gaming unit to bits (µ฿) is the ideal way of doing so and keeps the user at the centre of our universe.
“Our customers can now play and bet more for the same money, and we expect this to encourage even more users to sign up to the leading Bitcoin casino and sportsbook, while also providing existing loyal players with greater flexibility and potential play time.”
Alongside the introduction of bits betting, the Coingaming Group is also offering exclusive bonuses and rewards under very generous conditions, giving something back to its expanding growing customer base, while also raising awareness of the pioneering betting proposition.

We will continue to listen, monitor, and adapt schedules where and when needed as we move forward to deliver the best service possible for betting operators as well as punters.”

PRAGMATIC PLAY HITS THE SWEET SPOT WITH FRUITY TREATS
Pragmatic Play, a leading content supplier to the iGaming industry, has added Fruity Treats to its collection of clusters pays Slots.
Five or more fruit symbols must connect horizontally or vertically to award a win in this vibrant 7×7 title, which features a variation of the popular multiplier spots mechanic.
At the start of each spin, four marked spots of different colours take up random positions on the grid. If a win forms over a marked spot, a starting multiplier of 5x, 10x, 15x or 20x (depending on the spot colour) will be activated. Each time a winning combination lands on a marked spot after a tumble, the multiplier is applied to the win and then increases by its starting value.
Hitting at least three candy scatters on a spin awards entry to the bonus game with 10 free spins. During the feature, which can be retriggered with five additional free spins, activated multipliers from marked spots do not reset between free spins, potentially leading to massive wins.
Fruity Treats is the latest cluster pays Slot in Pragmatic Play’s multi-award-winning range, joining recent hit Sugar Rush 1000.
Irina Cornides, Chief Operating Officer at Pragmatic Play, said: “The roaming multiplier spots feature in Fruity Treats sets it apart from other successful cluster pays Slots in the Pragmatic Play portfolio, with marked spots staying sticky in the bonus game for even greater win potential.”
Pragmatic Play currently produces up to eight new Slot titles a month, while also delivering Live Casino and Bingo games as part of its multi-product portfolio, available through a single API.
