To BTC or not to BTC? Here is what King Billy Casino says!
How well do you know the Bard? We bet well enough to know the most famous line of all times, penned back in the Year of our Lord 1599. “To be or not to be – that is the question” Hamlet was pondering in what became the most well known monologue of all times (excluding of course the monologues of your “significant other” in the car).
Fast forward 4 centuries and a score. The question now, on everyone’s lips is “to BTC or not to BTC?” Crypto mania has swept the planet from Milan to Yucatán, but… is it worth it? Yes, yes and yes says King Billy Casino through its crypto experts. And they are ready to back it with numbers!
“According to research”, King Billy Casino Head of Affiliate Department Ruslan Legenzov informs us, “although only 5% of the millennials (that is people born after 1982) have an interest in cryptocurrencies, more than 60% of online gamers have already used cryptocurrencies in the past.”
We did wonder why, but King Billy Casino had the answer ready: Ease of use, the sense of heightened security and lower transaction fees are the reasons behind the cryptocurrencies success. Crypto and online casinos are good to each other!
Furthermore, the King Billy people provided us with some crypto fun facts and trivia, which can also be found on the casino’s blog (yes, they have one and it is hilarious). Let’s go through them!

With a Crypto Welcome Pack of 200% Welcome Bonus up to 5 BTC (or equivalent) + 200 Free Spins, crypto aficionados all over the world must rather feel obliged to pay a visit to His Majesty, King Billy.
And for those of you, who have never touched crypto and still ponder, like the Prince of Denmark, it is high time you left that skull aside and jumped on the crypto bandwagon. Because the answer is definitely “to BTC”!

Statutory levy affiliate reaction
“I personally think the industry should view this as a positive chance to work hand-in-hand with the NHS, charities and government as all stakeholders pull together to minimise gambling harm. Gambling is meant to be fun and entertaining and the industry must ensure that it is responsible, so that those in need can gain access to properly funded support as and when they need it.”
