For years, the gambling industry has been told bitcoin is the future but, as yet, there has been little substance to match the hype. CalvinAyre.com aim to bring simplicity and accessibility to world they feel is not being utilized simply through the understandable fear of the unknown.

The top line benefits should catch the eye enough to at least help betting operators read further: no chargebacks (the blockchain is an immutable ledger) and VERY low (less than a cent) transaction fees.

But here’s the bit that you may not know: Bitcoin in its original format (Bitcoin SV) is way more than a payment system, it benefits players, regulators, content providers and operators. The CalvinAyre.com Bitcoin for Gambling resource page offers detail on the what, why and how of bitcoin integration.

BSV also offers ‘provably fair’ gaming. How so? By recording game data on the Bitcoin SV blockchain. By writing slot spins or hand histories to the public ledger, recording the random seed that created them, players can then access these seeds and use the game’s algorithm, either provided on the operators site or a third party providers, to recreate the results for themselves.

But isn’t bitcoin all ‘black market’ and ‘dark web’? In a lot of instances, yes, but not with BSV. How so? Due to BSV’s commitment to follow laws and regulations, which all Bitcoin SV businesses subscribe to. BSV is an immutable ledger so every transaction and piece of data stored is transparent. Private does not mean anonymous.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed the bill on Digital financial assets into law. The law recognises the existence of bitcoin, tokens and other digital assets. However, it does not remove restrictions to allow individuals to use cryptocurrency as a legal tender.

According to the new rule, due to come into force in January 2021, Russian citizens will be allowed to buy and sell bitcoin and other digital denominations. Until now, various cryptocurrencies have been in a “grey zone,” as the state did not recognise their existence, but no penalties for mining or buying them existed either.

The law does not give cryptocurrencies the same rights that the ruble or any other fiat currencies have. After the new law comes into force, it will still be impossible for individuals to use digital currencies as legal tender in Russia. Only financial organisations hand-picked by the Central Bank, as well as stock exchanges, will be able to do so.

“Cryptocurrency is described by lawmakers as a means of payment and a means of saving, as an investment, but it can’t be used to pay for goods and services in Russia,” Anatoly Aksakov, head of the State Duma Committee on the Financial Market, said.
