The winds of bitcoin seem to be shifting radically as more voices pledging their alliance to bitcoin cash (BCH) arise. Bitcoin's new variant is favorable and this is evident in the fact that a rising number of operators are accepting BCH as a preferred currency. The latest in line is Bovada, who has included the cryptocurrency among deposit options in their casino.
The main reason multiple operators are showing their unanimous support to BCH over bitcoin is in its lower transaction fees and faster processing. Due to those traits, it is considered the authentic “heir” to developer Satoshi Nakamoto's vision. With the recent announcement that Segwit2x is halted, the value of BCH has soared and so has the number of related transactions. Since the digital currency first gained its serious momentum only after being widely adopted by casino and gambling sites, the fact that BCH is now going down the same route is a clear indication that it is already deemed a reliable payment practice.
The casino states, “if you owned bitcoin and had a balance in your personal wallet before August 1 2017 chain split, you now also have bitcoin cash.”
First-time deposits will be met with two bonuses – one for poker and sports betting and the other for casino games - both of which are claimable separately. Visit the site’s ‘Promotions’ page on further info and instruction on how to claim your bitcoin cash, make payments and claim bonuses.
