BitCasino.io adds Litecoin following surge in customer demand

19?February?2019


(PRESS RELEASE) -- BitCasino.io, operated by eGR Power 50 operator Coingaming Group, has integrated Litecoin into its pioneering crypto gaming offering following a surge in player demand, increasing its extensive variety of currency options.

During the feedback process for the launch of the newly enhanced Bitcasino online and mobile offering large numbers of players requested the introduction of Litecoin.

In line with the Coingaming Group’s core philosophy of placing its ‘customers at the centre of the universe,’ the Bitcasino development team delivered the Litecoin offering in record time, enabling players to select from and use a wide variety of currencies.

The team used cutting-edge wallet software developed for the site’s July 2018 Ethereum integration, which has seen 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 lower transaction fees.

Both Ethereum and bitcoin have already been integrated into the Bitcasino gaming experience, generating record numbers of transactions in 2018 as a result.

Previous to the Litecoin announcement, Bitcasino also integrated both a new mobile-first cashier and Ethereum as a payment method. The cashier function works seamlessly on all handheld devices allowing players on the leading crypto casino to track deposits and withdrawals more easily, while Ethereum opens the door to players wishing to use the world’s second most popular cryptocurrency.

Bitcasino has recently relaunched its online and mobile products with load speeds up to eight times faster than its competitors offering the industry’s most advanced, mobile-first and customer-friendly casino product.

Players can now deposit, play, win and withdraw in bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin, while also taking advantage of BTCXE, the industry-first fiat-to-bitcoin currency converter.

Tauri Tiitsaar, Head of Casino at Bitcasino.io, said, “We pride ourselves on listening to our players and, after a great deal of feedback and interaction, we took the immediate step to deliver what our customers wanted.

“By consistently striving to put our players at the heart of everything we do, we're creating the ultimate fun, fast and fair gaming experience. The introduction of Litecoin is yet another example of how we want to make our customers our priority and give them complete control of their experience.”
