Sportsbet.io expands cryptocurrency options with Litecoin integration

Leading online bookie reacts quickly to customer feedback and adds further alternative currency options alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum

Following popular customer demand, leading multi-currency sportsbook, Sportsbet.io has integrated Litecoin, further enhancing its range of extensive alternative payment capabilities.

Sportsbet.io players can now deposit, play, win, and withdraw in Litecoin, adding to the already vast array of cryptocurrencies available such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and SOC coin, as well as 11 traditional fiat currencies including Euros.

After reviewing feedback from various player forums, the Sportsbet.io development team noticed a growing demand for Litecoin.

In line with the Coingaming Group’s core goal to offer a fun, fast, and fair experience with full accessibility to all its customers, the team quickly delivered and now boasts an even wider variety of currency options.

Sister casino site, Bitcasino.io, integrated Litecoin into its pioneering crypto gaming offering in February 2019 seeing deposits increase by 22%.

Launched in October 2011, as a spin-off to Bitcoin, Litecoin is the world’s third most popular altcoin behind Ethereum and Bitcoin and offers players rapid processing speeds and importantly, lower transaction fees.

Joe McCallum, Director of Sportsbook at Sportsbet.io, said: “This is just another example of how we always follow up on customer feedback and offer new features that other sportsbooks don’t have.

Every step we take at Sportsbet.io is made with our players in mind, it only makes sense to integrate more currency options, fiat and crypto, to make our site even more fun, fast and fair for all.”

Earlier this year the leading online bookie announced its sponsorship debut ahead of the Sportsbet.io CONIFA Euros 2019, set to take place in June this year.
