During the last couple of years Bitcoin has completely revolutionized the world of online gambling. The first major shift happened at the end of the millennium when classic online casinos started to disrupt the gambling industry. From then on, it was widely available to enjoy the betting activities from the comfort of the home. Another major shift of gambling industry derived from the fact that people started avoiding online casinos due to the rumors of rigged gameplay, and that’s where the Bitcoin Casinos came into play. Today, the heavy hitters of the BTC Gambling industry are guaranteeing the fairness through various different technologies that came from Blockchain systems.

BTC Casinos command trust through Blockchain systems

Bitcoins and other cryptocurrencies instill the trust of gamblers thanks to using the Blockchain system algorithms that are absolutely bulletproof when it comes to security and safety. It’s a revolutionary concept that provides anonymity and transparency at the same time, by making the processes visible to everyone within the system, while also keeping all the members and their personal data completely hidden. Although, first and foremost the main benefit of the blockchain system for the safe and fair betting is the revolutionary Provably Fair system that many casinos are incorporating into their gameplays.

Provable Fairness of Bitcoin Casinos

Provably Fair is a groundbreaking system that guarantees the just outcome of the gambling activity. It’s based on the blockchain technology and casinos that use PF have absolutely no chance of tampering with the final results of the game. Provably fair uses advanced SHA-2 algorithms to ensure the absolute fairness, while also providing players with the ability to check the final outcome for themselves. You can look at the hash number before the play and notice that the hash was predetermined from the beginning, making it impossible for casino games to see the results before the end of the play. BTC Casinos that incorporate Provably Fair technology can surely be trusted.

Best way to find the Trustworthy Bitcoin Casino

One of the best ways to find yourself a trustworthy crypto-casino is to look at the gambling forums, pages and groups. Another great option is to look for casino review websites. A good example would be Bitcoingamblers.net. Websites like this are providing all the relevant and helpful information a gambler might need when getting accustomed to and choosing the right BTC Casino to play at.

Sportradar, the leading provider of sports data intelligence, today released its second OTT white paper, The Future of the OTT Experience, in which it examines and explains how rights holders and content owners can best engage with the modern viewer using advanced sports data and statistical insights as part of their video output.

As a pioneer in combining data and video, Sportradar has created a white paper that examines gamification, interaction and personalisation across the video landscape, as well as how the inclusion of betting content and advanced insights can grow engagement with modern audiences and keep them on platforms longer.

The white paper features comment and analysis from Sportradar clients including Borussia Dortmund, Onefootball and the European Volleyball Confederation, offering key takeaway points such as the following:

–          How flexible and scalable OTT features, designed to enhance the experience, can help rights holders stand out in a crowded media landscape.

–          The opportunities that exist for content owners when it comes to personalisation, interaction and gamification overlays.

–          Why data is the key, both when it comes to the personalisation of content and also the overall monetisation strategy.

Felix Blank, Director of Digital Platforms at Sportradar, said: “Following the positive feedback we received around our first white paper – The Monetisation of OTT and Data – we are pleased to be able to continue sharing both our and our clients’ knowledge with rights holders and content owners.

“In a splintered and competitive media landscape, publishers need to ensure their video strategy is as engaging and user-focused as it can be. By using data not only to keep viewers engaged but also properly monetise the overall strategy, rights holders can fully leverage their digital ecosystem.”
