Crypto & Bitcoin Live Casinos

The number of game manufacturers for live casinos is significantly fewer than for slots. In live crypto casinos, there are basically only four major providers. And they are quite similar when it comes to offering, quality and gaming experience. Which one you prefer is subjective and a matter of taste and preference.

If you like the format, to play casino live with crypto, we suggest you try out all the premium providers listed above. Often it is about having a bit of luck and ending up with a good dealer/host, regardless of which provider you choose.

Where to start as a beginner to live casino online

For a newcomer the live casino lobby at crypto casinos can seem confusing. A lot of tables have names like “Blackjack VIP T”, and “One Blackjack - Ruby”. Names that don’t provide any helpful information for a newcomer. There is a logic to this but it is different for each provider and it is poorly communicated. In most cases these names refer to the limits of the table rather than the rules, and a good live casino lobby will display minimum and maximum bets allowed.

Take some time and check in on the different tables, even if you can't play with demo funds you will get a good feel for the game by just watching. And if you have any questions just fire them off in the chat.

A good live casino lobby will display bet levels, and not have you load a game and be met with a minimum bet requirement of 500 USDT.

Live casino is generally better at the big crypto casinos. The ones with a large enough player base can offer exclusive tables in cooperation with the big providers. This means better availability in terms of both opening times and available seats. The big names also often integrate several live providers, something smaller crypto casinos might not afford.

Stake Crypto Casino is a solid choice for live games.

Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of live crypto casino is that you can communicate with both the game's dealer/croupier and other players around the table via a chat function. This makes it a more social experience than other online casino games (bar bingo and poker).

It is of course completely optional how social you choose to be but even if you do not choose to actively participate in any discussions, the dealer interaction enhances the experience considerably.

Live casino is very well suited for high rollers. There are tables with extremely high limits, some crypto casinos allow bets up to 200k (USDT) per round!

There are also negatives. Few providers denominate their tables in cryptocurrency. Live games are much slower than their fully computer-generated counterparts. This may be seen as positive for some.

Live dealer games are not very mobile friendly. They consume a lot of bandwidth, interfaces are suboptimal (mainly the case for live roulette), and the immersive experience is lost on a small screen.

It is also not possible to play in demo-mode, and we are rarely allowed to play with an active crypto casino bonus.

There are several online casinos that offer a dedicated crypto bonus for live dealer games. In one of the following senses:

1. That the full bet amounts in the live casino will count towards the wagering requirement. Or,
2. That you get chips that can only be used to play live dealer games.

A live crypto casino bonus will be subject to the same considerations that a regular crypto casino bonus might; Deposit requirements, time limits, max bet per round (usually 5-10 USDT), and other details.

While some crypto casinos do not allow live games at all with an active bonus, most will treat live casino games as a game type. Usually, the bonus’ terms and conditions will state a certain weight that counts towards the wagering requirement. The standard is:

• Roulette: 20%
• Blackjack: 10%
• Baccarat: 0%

In our reviews, you can read more about what the weights are at specific casinos.

All providers currently offer live casino on mobile, but we will argue that playing live casino on a small screen is far from optimal.

For example, in live roulette it can be tricky to get the chips on the right spot. Mobile interfaces are improving but it can be a frustrating experience, especially in live games where there is a time limit. Live blackjack is much more suitable with its limited bet options (stand, hit).

Just take a look below; how am I (with my fat fingers) be able to hit my lucky number 33!?

You should also be aware that live play will consume quite a lot of data. Many tables are streaming in 4k, so make sure you are connected to a Wi-Fi or have a good data plan.

We do not in any way discourage live crypto casino on mobile, but it is much better on a big screen.

Speaking of screen size, here's a tip for your next house party: Connect your computer to the TV and play in the company of your friends. A guaranteed fun evening and a nice casino feeling right in your living room!

Like with premium slots, some of the best providers are not that great in terms of supporting play denominated in bitcoin or other crypto. Bitcoin is well supported and for other cryptocurrencies there is a clever workaround.

• When you sit down, you will be asked to pick a preferred fiat denomination
• The crypto casino will then instantly make your full crypto bankroll available in that currency.
• When you leave the table. the fiat currency will be converted back to crypto.

The casino classics are of course available to play live. Think roulette, blackjack, and baccarat. Live Craps was introduced by Evolution in 2022, and that kind of completed the suit of classic casino games in live online format.

Baccarat tables have seen interesting additions with both fast-paced speed-variants and "Squeeze" (a slower game where the dealer slowly turns up the cards). Expanding on classic gameplay is another clear trend. Mainly by adding multipliers and a bonus feature of some kind, while still trying to stay true to the original mechanics of the game.

As the live casino segment has matured and grown in popularity, completely new genres has evolved. Game shows being the most prominent. And super fun!

As mentioned before, do not be afraid to check in on what is on offer. Many providers have great documentation explaining the unique games, and even video tutorials. And no matter how intimidating, most live games are still very straightforward without any strategy to think of. Place your bet and sit back. Start with small wagers until you get the hang of it, and can appreciate the game.
