The best places to play Bitcoin craps in October 2026 are Winz.io, which offers Evolution’s live dealer Craps with a stated house edge of 0.83% on its game page, and mBit Casino, which lists craps among its table games. Both were checked on the operators’ own sites on 7 October 2026 and both take deposits in Bitcoin and other coins. Craps itself rewards a simple plan: the pass line and the free odds bet carry the lowest house edge, while the colourful proposition bets in the middle of the table are among the costliest wagers in any casino.

Both casinos are for international players and neither accepts players from the United States or the United Kingdom. US readers should start with our crypto casino guide for US players. Check a casino’s restricted-country list before you register.

Where to play craps at our listed casinos

Craps is rarer at crypto casinos than blackjack or roulette. Of the casinos on our verified list, only two showed craps on their own pages when we checked.

Casino	Craps offer	Details from the operator’s page	Bonus play
Winz.io	Evolution Craps (live dealer)	House edge 0.83% (RTP 99.17%) stated; minimum bet 0.5, maximum 5,000; maximum payout 30x	Welcome offer has zero wagering (see card)
mBit Casino	Craps listed in table games	Table-games page names craps alongside blackjack, roulette, baccarat, poker, sic bo and keno	Bonus funds are for slots only; table and live games are blocked while a bonus is active

The 0.83% on Winz.io’s page is a single headline figure. The real edge depends on which bet you place, from zero on the odds bet to 16.67% on any seven, as the tables further down show.

What is Bitcoin craps?

Bitcoin craps is ordinary casino craps paid in crypto. You bet on the outcome of two six-sided dice, either against the casino’s random number generator or at a live table streamed from a studio. Stakes and wins are shown in BTC or another coin, or converted from your crypto balance into a display currency, depending on the casino.

The game you play is bank craps, also called casino craps: every player bets against the house. Street craps, where players bet against each other, has no place at an online casino.

The history of craps

Craps grew out of Hazard, an old European dice game whose origins are obscure. By some accounts Bernard Xavier Philippe de Marigny brought Hazard from London to New Orleans around 1805, where a simplified version took hold. Around 1907 a Philadelphia dicemaker, John H. Winn, introduced a layout with space for a Don’t Pass bet, which let players bet with or against the shooter and helped the casino version take shape.

The game spread further during the Second World War, when soldiers played the street version on blankets. That familiarity helped make craps a leading table game in postwar Las Vegas.

Online craps: the origins

Craps arrived online as a software game run on a random number generator, the format most casino lobbies still use. A live version came much later: Evolution launched its live Craps game in November 2020, set in a speakeasy-style studio, and its product chief said the game completed its line-up of land-based casino games. Today live craps is the format you are most likely to find at a crypto casino.

Modern craps

Modern online tables keep the classic layout but add help on screen: highlighted winning areas, bet histories and simplified modes for new players. Evolution’s game has an “Easy Mode” and an interactive tutorial. Bet types, payouts and house edges stay the same as on a land-based table.

Why is craps still popular?

Craps offers one of the lowest-edge bets in the casino, the free odds bet, which pays true odds with no house advantage. It also packs a lot of choice into one table, from slow, low-edge line bets to one-roll long shots. At a real table, everyone wins together when the shooter makes points, which gives craps its loud, social reputation. Live streams bring a share of that atmosphere to crypto players.

How to play Bitcoin craps

A round of craps has two phases. The first roll is the come-out roll. If it is 7 or 11, pass line bets win at once. A 2, 3 or 12 is “craps” and pass line bets lose. Any other total (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) becomes the point.

Once a point is set, the dice keep rolling. Pass line bets win if the point comes again before a 7, and lose if a 7 comes first. A 7 after the point is called a seven-out and ends the round. Rolls of other numbers do not affect the pass line but settle other bets on the table.

Dice probabilities

Two dice give 36 equally likely combinations. Every house edge in craps follows from this table.

Total	Ways to roll	Probability	True odds against
2	1	2.78%	35 to 1
3	2	5.56%	17 to 1
4	3	8.33%	11 to 1
5	4	11.11%	8 to 1
6	5	13.89%	6.2 to 1
7	6	16.67%	5 to 1
8	5	13.89%	6.2 to 1
9	4	11.11%	8 to 1
10	3	8.33%	11 to 1
11	2	5.56%	17 to 1
12	1	2.78%	35 to 1

Seven is the most common total, which is why it ends rounds and why betting on it costs so much. A pass line bet wins 244 times in 495, or 49.29% of decisions.

Craps bets explained

Pass line

The basic bet, paying 1 to 1. It wins on a come-out 7 or 11, loses on 2, 3 or 12, and otherwise wins if the point repeats before a 7. House edge: 1.41%.

Don’t pass line

The opposite of the pass line, also paying 1 to 1. It wins on a come-out 2 or 3, loses on 7 or 11, and pushes on 12 at most tables (the “bar 12” rule). After a point, it wins if a 7 arrives before the point. House edge: 1.36% per bet made, slightly better than pass, though you are betting against the shooter.

Come bet

A come bet works like a pass line bet but is placed after a point is set. The next roll acts as its own come-out roll: 7 or 11 wins, 2, 3 or 12 loses, and any other number becomes the come point. House edge: 1.41%, the same as pass.

Don’t come bet

The mirror of the come bet, placed after a point is set. It loses on 7 or 11, wins on 2 or 3, pushes on 12, and then wins if a 7 shows before its number. House edge: 1.36% per bet made.

Free odds bets

Once a pass, don’t pass, come or don’t come bet has a point, you can back it with an odds bet. Odds pay at true odds, so they carry no house edge. Taking odds on the pass side pays 2 to 1 on 4 or 10, 3 to 2 on 5 or 9 and 6 to 5 on 6 or 8. Laying odds on the don’t side pays 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 5 to 6. Tables cap the odds as a multiple of your line bet; a common cap is 3-4-5x (three times on 4 or 10, four times on 5 or 9, five times on 6 or 8). Check the table rules in the game, because online limits vary.

Field bet

A one-roll bet that the next total is 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 or 12. Most pay 1 to 1, with a bonus on 2 and 12. If 2 pays 2 to 1 and 12 pays 3 to 1, the house edge is 2.78%; if both pay 2 to 1, it doubles to 5.56%. Seven totals (5, 6, 7 and 8) lose, and they are the most common rolls.

Place bets

A bet that a chosen number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) rolls before a 7. Place 6 or 8 pays 7 to 6 with a 1.52% edge, place 5 or 9 pays 7 to 5 with 4.00%, and place 4 or 10 pays 9 to 5 with 6.67%. Only the 6 and 8 come close to the line bets.

Buy and lay bets

A buy bet pays true odds on a number but charges a 5% commission. On 4 or 10, if the commission is taken only when you win, the edge drops to 1.67%; if it is charged up front, the edge is 4.76%. Lay bets are the reverse, betting that a 7 comes before the number, also with a commission.

Big 6 and Big 8

A bet that a 6 (or 8) rolls before a 7, paying even money. It has a 9.09% edge, while a place bet on the same number pays 7 to 6 at 1.52%. Big 6 and Big 8 are simply a worse version of the place bet.

Hardway bets

A bet that 4, 6, 8 or 10 is rolled as a pair (2-2, 3-3, 4-4 or 5-5) before it comes “easy” or a 7 appears. Hard 6 and hard 8 usually pay 9 to 1 (9.09% edge); hard 4 and hard 10 usually pay 7 to 1 (11.11% edge).

Proposition bets

Proposition bets sit in the centre of the layout. Most settle on one roll and pay large amounts, but they carry the highest edges on the table.

Any craps

Wins if the next roll is 2, 3 or 12. Pays 7 to 1, house edge 11.11%.

Ace-deuce

A bet on 3 (a one and a two) on the next roll. Pays 15 to 1, house edge 11.11%.

Yo-leven

A bet on 11 on the next roll, called “yo” so it is not misheard as seven. Pays 15 to 1, house edge 11.11%.

Boxcars and aces

Boxcars is a bet on 12 (double six); aces or “snake eyes” is a bet on 2. Each pays 30 to 1 at most tables, house edge 13.89%. A few tables pay 29 to 1 or less, which is worse.

Craps and eleven (C&E)

Half the stake on any craps and half on 11. Net, it pays 3 to 1 on a craps number and 7 to 1 on 11. House edge 11.11%.

High-low

Half on 2 and half on 12, so you win if either appears. Each half pays 30 to 1, which works out at 14.5 to 1 net on the whole bet. House edge 13.89%.

The horn

A four-unit bet split across 2, 3, 11 and 12. The winning unit is paid while the other three lose. House edge 12.5%.

Hop bets

A one-roll bet on one exact dice combination. An “easy” hop such as 2-4 pays 15 to 1 (11.11% edge); a hard hop such as 3-3 pays 30 to 1 (13.89%). Many online tables do not offer hop bets at all.

Any seven

Wins if the next roll is 7. It pays 4 to 1 when the true odds are 5 to 1, giving a house edge of 16.67%, the worst standard bet in craps.

The whirl

Also called the world bet: five units covering the horn plus any seven. A 7 is a push, other horn numbers pay, the rest lose. House edge 13.33%.

Bitcoin craps odds and house edge table

The table lists the edge per bet made or resolved for the standard payouts above. Line and place figures follow the standard odds; single-roll figures follow directly from the dice table.

Bet	Pays	House edge
Odds (take or lay)	True odds	0%
Pass line + 3-4-5x odds (combined)	Mixed	0.37%
Don’t pass / don’t come	1 to 1	1.36%
Pass line / come	1 to 1	1.41%
Place 6 or 8	7 to 6	1.52%
Buy 4 or 10 (commission on win only)	2 to 1 less 5%	1.67%
Field (2 pays 2x, 12 pays 3x)	1 to 1	2.78%
Place 5 or 9	7 to 5	4.00%
Buy 4 or 10 (commission up front)	2 to 1 less 5%	4.76%
Field (2 and 12 pay 2x)	1 to 1	5.56%
Place 4 or 10	9 to 5	6.67%
Big 6 / Big 8	1 to 1	9.09%
Hard 6 / hard 8	9 to 1	9.09%
Hard 4 / hard 10	7 to 1	11.11%
Any craps, ace-deuce, yo-leven, C&E, easy hop	7 to 1 / 15 to 1	11.11%
Horn	Varies by number	12.50%
Whirl / world	Varies by number	13.33%
Aces, boxcars, high-low, hard hop	30 to 1	13.89%
Any seven	4 to 1	16.67%

Adding odds lowers the combined edge because the odds part is free. A pass line bet with 3-4-5x odds has a combined edge of about 0.374% per bet made, against 1.41% for the line bet alone.

Worked examples in Bitcoin

Pass line with odds. You bet 0.001 BTC on the pass line and the come-out roll sets a point of 6. At a 3-4-5x table you may add up to 0.005 BTC in odds. If a 6 rolls before a 7, the line bet pays 0.001 BTC and the odds pay 6 to 5, which is 0.006 BTC: a total win of 0.007 BTC. If a 7 comes first, you lose both bets, 0.006 BTC.

Expected cost over many bets. Staking 0.1 BTC in total on the pass line costs about 0.00141 BTC on average at a 1.41% edge. Staking the same 0.1 BTC on any seven costs about 0.0167 BTC at 16.67%, close to twelve times as much for the same action.

Field vs place 6. A 0.002 BTC field bet at a 2.78% table costs about 0.0000556 BTC per roll on average. A 0.0024 BTC place bet on 6 (a multiple of 6 units so the 7 to 6 payout works cleanly) pays 0.0028 BTC when it wins and costs about 1.52% per decision. Slightly bigger stake, far lower edge.

These figures are long-run averages. Craps decisions are close to coin flips, so short sessions swing widely either way.

Commonly used slang in Bitcoin craps

Shooter: the player rolling the dice. In live online craps a dealer or machine rolls for everyone.
Come-out roll: the first roll of a new round.
Point: the number (4, 5, 6, 8, 9 or 10) set on the come-out that the pass line needs to repeat.
Seven-out: a 7 after a point is set, ending the round.
Right bettor and wrong bettor: a player betting pass and come versus one betting don’t pass and don’t come.
Natural: a 7 or 11 on the come-out roll.
Snake eyes, yo, boxcars: 2, 11 and 12.
Easy way and hard way: a total rolled without or with a pair, such as 6 as 4-2 (easy) or 3-3 (hard).
Press: raising a winning bet using the win.

Bitcoin craps basic strategy

Craps strategy is mostly about which bets to avoid. A simple low-edge plan looks like this:

Start on the pass or don’t pass line. Edges of 1.41% and 1.36% are the base of every sound plan.
Add as much odds as your bankroll allows. The odds bet has no house edge, so more of your money on odds means a lower average edge.
Use come or don’t come bets to cover more numbers. They carry the same low edges as the line bets.
If you want place bets, stick to 6 and 8. At 1.52% they are the only place bets close to the line bets.
Skip the centre of the table. Any seven, horn, hardways and hop bets all carry edges of 9% or more.
Size bets in small crypto units. Decide on a session bankroll, say 0.01 BTC, and keep each line bet to a small share of it so normal swings do not end your session in a few rolls.

Progressions such as doubling after a loss do not change the edge. They only change how fast your bankroll moves and raise the risk of hitting the table maximum. Our article on managing an online casino bankroll covers session limits in more detail, and the online craps rules and tips guide walks through a first session.

Craps compared with other casino games

Craps sits near the top of the casino for value if you stay on the line and odds bets, and near the bottom if you play the centre of the table. The figures below are standard house edges for the best common bet in each game.

Game and bet	House edge
Craps: pass line with 3-4-5x odds (combined)	0.37%
Baccarat: banker bet (8 decks, 5% commission)	1.06%
Baccarat: player bet	1.24%
Craps: pass line alone	1.41%
Roulette: single zero (European)	2.70%
Sic bo: big or small	2.78%
Roulette: double zero (American)	5.26%
Craps: any seven	16.67%

A pass line decision also takes several rolls, about 3.4 on average, so the line bet is a slow way to spend your bankroll as well as a cheap one. Our pages on Bitcoin baccarat, Bitcoin roulette and Bitcoin sic bo cover those games in the same detail.

Live craps vs RNG craps

RNG craps is a software game: a random number generator produces each roll in a split second and you can play at your own pace, often in demo mode first. Live craps streams real dice and a host from a studio; you bet within a timer and watch the roll. The bet maths is the same in both.

The real difference is speed. A software game can settle many more rolls per hour than a live table, so at the same stake you can lose more per hour with RNG craps even though the edge per bet is identical.

Is craps provably fair?

Not in the crypto sense. Evolution’s live Craps uses physical dice on camera, and studio RNG craps uses certified generators that you cannot check round by round. Provably fair verification applies to in-house originals such as crypto dice games, which are a different game from craps; see our Bitcoin dice page and the provably fair guide for how those checks work.

Bitcoin craps and wagering requirements

Craps is a poor way to clear a casino bonus. Many casinos exclude table games from bonus play or count them at a low rate. mBit Casino’s bonus terms go further: bonus funds can only be wagered on slots, and table and live games cannot be played while a bonus is active. If you want to play craps there, you play with cash and no active bonus.

The maths shows why casinos do this. Clearing a 0.01 BTC bonus at 40x means 0.4 BTC of turnover. On the pass line at 1.41%, that turnover would cost about 0.0056 BTC on average, leaving most of the bonus intact, a low-risk route that casinos close off. Winz.io’s card offers a welcome bonus with zero wagering and daily cashback on crypto play instead, which avoids the issue; read its terms for how cashback applies to live games.

Our welcome bonus guide shows how to read contribution tables before you accept an offer.

Banking for Bitcoin craps

Both casinos on this page pay out in crypto to a wallet you control. mBit Casino is crypto-only and its welcome offer needs a minimum of 30 USDT or the crypto equivalent. Match the network the cashier shows for your coin, send a small test amount to a new address first, and remember that network fees take a bigger bite out of small deposits.

Coin prices move while you play. A bankroll held in BTC can rise or fall in fiat value between deposit and withdrawal regardless of your results at the table. Players who want to measure results in a stable unit often deposit a stablecoin instead. Our crypto payment methods guide compares coins and networks.

Licences and complaints

mBit Casino is run by Scores55 Tech B.V. under Curaçao Gaming Authority licence OGL/2024/1307/0748. The CGA does not mediate individual disputes: complain to the casino first, then to one of the CGA-certified ADR bodies. Winz.io states that it holds Anjouan and Tobique licences; for Anjouan-licensed sites, complaints go through the site’s seal and the operator first, then an operator-paid ADR body. Our page on the Curaçao Gaming Authority explains how to check a licence number.

What is the best online Bitcoin craps casino?

For live craps, Winz.io is the clear pick on our list: it offers Evolution’s Craps with a stated 0.83% headline edge, limits from 0.5 to 5,000 and a welcome offer with no wagering. mBit Casino suits players who want craps alongside a wide table-games lobby in a crypto-only cashier, as long as they play without an active bonus. Whichever you choose, the bets you make matter more than the casino: the pass line with odds costs a fraction of what the centre of the table does.

Bitcoin craps FAQ

Can I win at Bitcoin craps?

Yes, in the short run: any session can end in profit. Over many rolls every bet except the odds bet has a house edge, so the casino expects to keep a share of what you stake, about 1.41% on the pass line and up to 16.67% on any seven.

What is the best craps strategy?

Bet the pass line or don’t pass, take or lay the maximum odds you can afford, and skip proposition bets. A pass line bet with 3-4-5x odds has a combined house edge of about 0.37% per bet made. No betting system changes the edge.

What is the best and the worst house edge in craps?

The free odds bet has no house edge at all, and pass, don’t pass, come and don’t come sit around 1.4% or below. The worst bets are any seven at 16.67%, the hard-way hop and 2 or 12 at 30 to 1 at 13.89%, and the whirl at 13.33%.

How does craps compare to other casino games?

The pass line edge of 1.41% is lower than single-zero roulette at 2.70% and close to the baccarat banker bet at 1.06%. Blackjack with good rules and correct play can be lower still. Craps proposition bets are among the most expensive bets in a casino.

Can I play online craps for free?

RNG craps games from software studios often have a demo mode, and mBit’s lobby text says its games can be played in demo or real mode. Live dealer craps, such as Evolution’s Craps at Winz.io, is played for real stakes only.

What is the difference between live craps and online craps?

Online or RNG craps uses a random number generator and settles in seconds. Live craps is streamed from a studio with real dice and a host; Evolution launched its live Craps game in November 2020. The bet maths is the same, but live games are slower, so you lose less per hour at the same stake.

Can I play craps with a casino bonus?

Often not. mBit Casino’s bonus terms say bonus funds can only be wagered on slots and that table and live games cannot be played while a bonus is active. Check each casino’s contribution table before you accept a welcome offer if you plan to play craps.

Are Bitcoin casinos legit?

Some are and some are not, so check each one. A legitimate crypto casino names the company that runs it, shows a licence number you can confirm on the regulator’s own register, publishes its terms (restricted countries, wagering, withdrawal limits) and pays withdrawals as those terms describe. Our licence guide shows how to check a licence. A licence from an offshore regulator does not make a casino legal in every country, so check your local law as well.
