Whenever you play at an online casino, you hope your bankroll will be bigger by the end of your playing period than it was at the start. It doesn’t always work out that way, of course. But members of Drake Casino who chose to bet with bitcoin in December saw a nice rise in their bankroll… even if they didn’t log in and play any games.
How did that happen? Well, bitcoin made plenty of headlines in December, thanks to its sizeable rise in value. The price of bitcoin at the start of the month was around $10,500 in US dollars. Yet within days its value rocketed to an amazing $17,400. If you had one or more bitcoin in your bankroll at Drake Casino at the start of the month, you’d have boosted its value considerably by the end of just seven days.
To say this cryptocurrency has been volatile would be an understatement. No doubt there are plenty of people – gamers and others alike – who wish they’d bought into bitcoin in the early days, when it was worth mere cents. But with a December high point of $19,783, reached on December 17th, it’s easy to see how a casino bankroll in bitcoin would have been boosted to almost double its original value in less than a month. It has dipped since, but anyone using bitcoin at Drake Casino may find they have more to play with than they originally thought. We’ll certainly be watching the progress of bitcoin and its value very closely indeed.
