How To Spot a Trustworthy Crypto Casino

Crypto casinos are online casinos that use cryptocurrency as their primary means of payment. While traditional online casinos tend to focus on fiat currencies, crypto casinos offer a more decentralized approach that makes use of digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Crypto & Bitcoin casinos have become increasingly popular in recent years, thanks to their anonymity, fast transactions, and low fees. However, not all crypto casinos are created equal. In order to ensure that you’re playing at a trustworthy site, there are a few things you should look for. 1. Look for casinos that are licensed and regulated When it comes to gambling with cryptocurrencies, it is important to be cautious and only play at licensed and regulated casinos. While crypto casinos are not subject to the same regulations as traditional casinos, there are still a few things to look for when choosing a reputable site. Firstly, check to see if the casino is licensed by a gaming commission. This will ensure that the casino is following fair gaming practices. Second, look for casino sites that use industry-standard encryption technologies to protect your personal and financial information. Secondly, make sure that the casino offers customer support in case you have any questions or concerns. By following these simple tips, you can help ensure that your experience gambling with cryptocurrencies is safe and enjoyable. 2. Make sure the casino has a good reputation and is well-reviewed When choosing a bitcoin casino, always make sure to check the reviews first. A good reputation is important for any casino, but it’s even more important when dealing with bitcoins. Because bitcoins are not regulated by any government or financial institution, there’s a greater risk of fraud. That’s why it’s essential to only play at casinos that have been well-reviewed and have a good reputation. Otherwise, you could end up losing your bitcoins to a scammer. So before you start playing, always do your research to make sure you’re dealing with a reputable casino. 3. Read the terms and conditions carefully before signing up Before signing up for any service, it’s important to read the terms and conditions carefully. This is especially true for crypto casinos, which often have complex rules and regulations. By taking the time to read the terms and conditions, you can ensure that you understand the risks involved and are comfortable with them. In addition, reading the terms and conditions can help you spot any red flags. For example, some casinos require players to wager their winnings multiple times before they can be withdrawn, while others prohibit players from using certain payment methods. By familiarizing yourself with the points discussed in this guide, you can choose the Bitcoin casino that best meets your needs

How Blockchain is Finally Getting Africa on the Grid

Parents lining up to pay school fees in cash, lenders charging extortionate rates, and cash savings held under mattresses—these are some of the things residents in Africa have had to resort to due to financial technology not having yet fully expanded in the developing continent. According to Statista, only 48 percent of the African population has access to banking services in 2022. Accounts being the first point of entry into the formal financial system puts its citizens at an enormous setback as they are forced to turn to transactions that are not only inconvenient and wasteful but often risky too. Having access to a financial account instead of just cash allows users to take control of their finances by offering ways to manage money. By utilizing accounts instead of cash, both governments and businesses can help bring tens of millions of adults into the digitized financial system. According to a report from the World Bank, digitizing payments for agricultural goods alone would cut the number of unbanked goods by approximately 125 million, including 16 million in Nigeria. In Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, over 10% of adults still receive agricultural payments. A policy note on mobile money from the Global Findex team found huge financial potential for Sub-Saharan Africa. Specifically, it found that regionally, 350 million adults lack an account but 155 million said they have their own mobile phone, while 200 million said they have access to one at home. Most are located in West Africa, where mobile money has yet to take off, but 40 million live in East Africa, which has one of the world’s highest mobile money account ownership rates. Banking the Unbanked In addition to African citizens’ limited access to their financial crisis, an estimated 494 million people in sub-Saharan Africa have no form of legal identification. This lack of connectivity not only means that the unconnected are unable to communicate with anyone outside of their vicinity, but it also contributes to poor healthcare, a low standard of education, and poverty in general. In response, officials in the continent are starting to turn to a particular digital technology with transformative potential—the blockchain.  By harnessing the power of the decentralized blockchains, the metaverse can give African citizens access to both finances and identifications through biometric digital identification (ID)  systems. One company in particular, which believes that access to the internet is a human right, World Mobile, is doing exactly this. Taking inspiration from pioneers throughout history, the company’s core mission is to lead a global movement toward digital inclusion. It plans on accomplishing this by deploying a dynamic hybrid mobile network consisting of aerial and ground assets, to connect the unconnected and bank the unbanked. “Half the world is still unconnected. The world of telecommunications needs rebooting. Traditional networks with legacy systems and archaic business models are doing nothing to tackle the problem,” the company states on its website. The Future of Mobile Networks Currently rolling out its technology across Africa and the world, World Mobile’s hybrid network strives to connect those that traditional networks have left offline. “With access to the internet, subscribers will gain a self-sovereign identity and all of the opportunities that connectivity offers, from digital currencies to education and more” the company states. Not only will subscribers in Africa have access to the internet, but it will also be affordable, fair, and sustainable. Its self-governed and decentralized technology will allow users to connect without jeopardizing their privacy. Subscribers can own their own data and have their own identity so they can access services they were previously excluded from like banking, insurance, borrowing, and saving. In 2022, Africa is still drastically behind the developing world in its access to financial technology. Thanks to the emergence of blockchain technology, companies like World Mobile are pioneering platforms that are liberating African citizens’ access to financial technology through access to affordable, fair, and sustainable services. It won’t be long before the developing continent joins the rest of the world on the path to financial freedom.
