Future of Blockchain in Gambling Space Explored in ASEAN Gaming Summit 2019
March 20, 2019
What is Blockchain? What are its benefits? Who uses it? Day 2 of ASEAN Gaming Summit 2019 puts blockchain's role in the gaming space in the spotlight.
EZ Gold Casino accepts Bitcoin, but this online casino integrated this digital currency to assess whether or not it will be one of the most used and preferred payment methods of its players. Licensed in Costa Rica, this gambling platform is available in 19 languages besides English, and it has been in the online gaming business for years already.
Software
It appears that this website uses proprietary software to power up its platform, which is different from the approach of most online casinos. It is designed to load in web browsers, and it does not offer any option or need to download a client to play the games. However, it seems that this platform is not mobile-friendly. Moreover, the website’s design and layout is a little too old-fashioned and lacks the exciting atmosphere a typical online casino should have.
Games
More than 60 casino games are present on EZ Gold Casino and are categorized into six main games: baccarat, blackjack, slots, roulette, video poker, and poker. All of them are flash-based, but not all load quickly. The slot games, which make up more than half of the game library, take more time to start as several technical elements are loaded before the game begins.
Aside from the normal casino games, multiplayer games are also available here. Thus, you can play baccarat, roulette, poker, and blackjack against real people.
However, it must be noted that the visual quality of the games are not as great as that of the modern Bitcoin casino games. The graphics are not that crisp, and they tend to be reminiscent of the old casino games. Nevertheless, all of them provide a favorable gambling experience.
If there is only one feature that many Bitcoin casino players will want to add to this platform, it will be the provably fair system.
Banking
This casino included Bitcoin as a form of experiment to assess the demographics and demands of its patrons. Therefore, it should not come as a surprise that fiat currency payment methods are also an option here. What is rather surprising, though, is that it has an artificial fixed rate of Bitcoin to US dollars for convenience. In this casino, 1 BTC is equivalent to $1,000.
Transferring funds to your account may take time despite Bitcoin’s special ability to be processed almost instantly. Since all deposits are manually processed, expect your funds to reflect on your account balance within 24 to 48 hours.
The same amount of time to wait applies to withdrawing bitcoins. Unlike in Bitcoin deposits, though, which impose a 0.01 BTC minimum amount, it is possible to cash out any amount.
Other Features
EZ Gold Casino lacks a live chat feature, but it has integrated a discussion board via Disqus. In addition, it offers a reward system through the series of Achievements that can be unlocked. Furthermore, it offers an affiliate system that pays 15% of all the referrals’ casino profits and enables cashout anytime.
Conclusion
There is no doubt that EZ Gold Casino is another option for Bitcoin casino enthusiasts. However, it will become a better alternative if it undergoes a facelift, adds certain features, and limits the time allotted to process Bitcoin transactions.
