ETH – Ethereum / Ether at Online Casinos in 2024

Whether online gambling is legal or illegal, ultimately depends on your country of residence. Some countries have sought to 'protect' their players from offshore operators by making it illegal and attempting to block foreign ISPs, with mixed results.

Other countries are regarded as grey areas where the answer is open to interpretation. Some countries, such as the UK and Sweden, have opted to legalise online gambling while protecting players and society by introducing robust licensing and regulating requirements.

Ultimately, it is up to you to find out whether online gambling is or isn't legal. Some offshore operators place certain countries on their restricted list so if you live in one of them, then you will not be able to play at the casino. Some players try to deceive the operator by using virtual player networks (VPNs). Still, we strongly advise against this since players who get caught forfeit any winnings.

Generally speaking, online casinos that are regulated in Europe, such as in Malta, Sweden or the UK offer more protection. The reason is that such casinos must comply with the principles of fairness and transparency, anti-money laundering and player protection. Offshore casinos that break the rules face fines, warnings, license suspensions or cancellations.

Generally, casinos that accept Ether, Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies hold a license from an outside jurisdiction such as Curaçao. While this does not imply that the casino is not safe and trustworthy, it also means that you need to be more careful where you deposit and play. This is because Curacao is not a jurisdiction known for having robust licensing requirements.

This said, there are some well-known online casinos licensed with a longer track-record in Curacao. The ones that we promote on our pages have a generally good reputation with players.

If you're prepared to transact in a Fiat currency such as GBP, EUR or USD, then you may want to consider sticking to an online casino licensed and regulated by a regulator like the UKGC or MGA.

An online casino that does not accept ETH may allow you to deposit in an alternative cryptocurrency like BTC, BCH, LTC or other.

If this is not an option, then consider using the currency of your home country. If the casino doesn't accept your country's currency, they likely will accept the more liquid currencies like GBP, EUR, USD, CAD, ZAR, INR or other.

Online casinos accepting ETH will likely list it in the payments section of their website. You will simply need to choose it as your currency when registering. This means that you will also be able to withdraw ETH from your casino player account to your crypto wallet.

You will find that casinos that accept Ether will also allow you to withdraw to an Ether wallet. There a few wallets such as TrustWallet, Exodus and MyEtherWallet. These e-wallets let you store your Ether and exchange them into Fiat or other cryptocurrencies.

Most online casinos that accept deposits in Ether will also offer either a deposit bonus, free spins or some combination of the two to new players only. The promotions are available to players from qualifying countries only so you should check the terms and conditions to see if you qualify.

Remember to check the casino bonus terms as you need to satisfy the wagering requirements before withdrawing your winnings. Some players find these restrictive and elect not to use them.

There are several ways to deposit Ether into your player account, but it depends on the casino which payment processor and wallet they accept. Coinspaid is often accepted at Ethereum online casinos, and you can use it to deposit and withdraw funds.
