Why Ethereum online casinos are so popular in Canada

Published

on

Ethereum has continued to boom over the course of 2021, with the year having been rather receptive to the crypto token despite all of the issues that have had an impact on various other coins. Whether it be the comments to have been made by influential figures from around the world such as Elon Musk, or whether it be the decisions taken by governments around the globe who are concerned – and perhaps fearful – of what cryptocurrency can do to their financial state, Ethereum has managed to maintain steady growth and has managed to become a huge coin within the industry.

According to research and estimates, it is believed the market cap of the coin is in the region of around $243 billion, thus highlighting just how popular it has become. One industry to have benefitted from its rise is the online casino sector. Canadian Ethereum casino Winz.io  is an online gambling platform that will allow bettors from the country to play with this particular form of crypto, as they have already recognized the boom and growth that the sector and the coin have managed to achieve over the last couple of years and since ETH was launched in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin.

Blockchain technology is a huge benefit for everyone

Online casinos will have looked to allow for the world’s second most sought-after token because it relies on blockchain technology. This tech will then allow users of the coin and the operators that accept them to receive the highest levels of security when a digital transaction is made. There are many other benefits that this coin provides to online casinos and holders who decide to wager with it. One of them is simply down to the fact that the coin has very little fluctuation value and, again, links with the fact that a high level of security is provided to any transaction used, thus making it a safe alternative payment method. Finding an online casino that accepts Ethereum is not always easy, but if a platform already offers users the possibility of depositing with Bitcoin, then that is a good start as both tokens will use blockchain technology.

Advantages & drawbacks of using Ethereum at online casinos

Ethereum is considered to be one of the ideal ways for Canadian gambling players to fund their online casino accounts as there are a number of benefits and advantages associated with the coin. Firstly, going back to the fluctuation point outlined above, as there is not much hype or interest in it as there are other forms of digital currency, the value of it remains relatively stable, thus making it less risky as the price will rarely alter without a moment’s notice.

Furthermore, the transactions made when using Ethereum have a longer validity period and the minimal fees that are involved when making a transaction make them more attractive and preferred over other options that may be available.

Lastly, the fact that ETH transactions use smart contracts are a major benefit and differentiates crypto from the other various alternatives that can be used. This is because smart contracts are an automated program that is specific to this particular digital coin in blockchain technology that allows for the transactions to run as smoothly and effectively as intended.

Unfortunately, there are some potential drawbacks in regards to using Ethereum in online casinos and some that may be too difficult for some to get their head around. Holders of the coin will already know that this crypto is less user-friendly compared to many of the other versions available, which is why it is not as popular as others. In addition, the coin is not as widely accepted at many online casinos, although many have been working hard to accept it but there is still a way to go before it does become as usable as many of the other options that can be found.

User-Centric Redesign for Casinosfiables.ca

Published

on

 

Casinosfiables announced that they have redesigned their existing site – https://casinosfiables.ca/ to better address current user demands.

Although the site’s functionality aligns with modern industry standards, the redesign is a step in the right direction and could very well give a competitive edge.

The changes addressed certain functionality concerns and aligned with ever-changing user preferences and behavior.

• Seamless page transition – The overall performance of the site improved, so pages loaded faster, despite the addition of new elements.

• Integrated social media buttons – Buttons that lead to social media pages became more visible, so it is easier for readers to complete engagement incentives that granted them affiliate-exclusive rewards or promo codes.

• More valuable insights – Previously, charts and ratings were only explained in separate reviews. The new roundup charts and ratings had a dropdown feature that provided more insights or clarity behind the rating.

• Relevant search filters – Some trends or categories that targeted user intent weren’t visible in the previous version. The updated version introduced new categories that better reflected player preferences, or included roundups based on casino features (e.g., cashback, no wager promos, game providers) that weren’t at the forefront previously.

• Author pages – Readers who had similar opinions and game preferences to the site’s authors gained the ability to find other texts from those authors. Each casino expert received a dedicated page listing all of their publications.

The changes were finalized over the past few months. The team pushed these updates in batches rather than a single big update.

Vancouver Resident Purchased Winning $40 Million Lotto Max Ticket While Quenching Sparkling Water Craving

Published

on

Phuc Duc (Daniel) Chau loves the Bubly brand of sparkling water and stopped in a convenience store to purchase a can. Chau likes to buy lottery tickets based on a gut feeling, and due to the employee’s bubbly nature while he purchased his Bubly, Chau also purchased a Lotto Max ticket for the May 23, 2025 draw.  

It was this ticket that ended up scoring Chau a whopping $40-million jackpot.  

“I was at work when I found out,” recalled Chau of the moment he realized he won. “I was going through my bag to find a cough drop, but I saw that I had two lottery tickets in my bag and decided to scan the tickets, but I needed to update the [BCLC Lotto!] app first. The first ticket I didn’t win anything, but the second said $40 million. I have never seen that many zeroes in my life, ever. I dropped my phone and then called BCLC right away!” 

At the time of the prize claim, the Vancouver resident hadn’t yet shared the news of his win.  

“My partner doesn’t know yet! I want to share the news with them in a special way.”  

Chau shared that his dream has always been to travel the world. “There are so many places I want to go to, so I haven’t fully decided!” 

When asked if he will quit his job, he said, “I haven’t decided, but I want to continue to support my community in a different way.” 

On how it feels to be a multimillionaire?  

“It means a lot to me. It opens up an opportunity for me to give back to my family, community and the world all around me. It’s not meaningful unless you can share this with those who need it.”  

Chau purchased the winning ticket at the 7-Eleven on Imperial Street and Boundary Road in Burnaby.
