Cryptocurrency arrives in Choctaw casinos after Bitline deal
Casino players at Choctaw Casinos and Resorts will soon be able to use crypto and digital assets as a new source of funds, thanks to a deal with Bitline, a company that offers casino chip access from cryptocurrency. The deal is the first of its kind in the United States.
According to a report on Intergame, the deal was facilitated by Everi and CashClub. Any player wishing to use crypto as a funding source will be onboarded, screened and verified by Bitline systems.
Catering to the growing demand for greater cryptocurrency and digital asset integration within the casino industry, the collaboration between Bitline and Everi’s forms a transferable blueprint that offers casino operators and their patrons an alternative way to manage funds, access liquidity, and leverage the benefits of cryptocurrency and other digital assets.
Thomas McDonald, senior director of cage and credit at Choctaw Casinos & Resorts, commented: “We are excited to be the first casino in North America to offer our guests another way to play,” said Thomas McDonald, Senior Director of Cage and Credit at Choctaw Casinos & Resorts. “Through our long-term relationship with Everi, a leader in fintech solutions, we will continue to invest in innovative offerings that provide the discerning gaming VIP access to funds in a safe and secure manner.”
“Working with Choctaw Casinos & Resorts and Everi to make this a reality is a historical moment for both the casino and blockchain industries. Bitline was conceptualized to advance the gaming sector and offer a wider variety of financial options for the casino industry,” said Richard Jones, CEO at Bitline. “We’re entering an era where digital assets can fundamentally enhance the gaming experience, providing casino operators with a future-ready financial framework that can expand and evolve as the industry does. This collaboration is just the beginning of our vision to modernize casino payment capabilities on a global scale.”
